The new single for 1989 had a great disco feel to it, and yet again it had no promo video, but Gary and Bill did the round of radio stations as well as play the song live for the Club X TV show. This programme also featured a piece on Gary and his fans. I'm On Automatic got to No 44 in the UK charts.
I'm On Automatic
Lyrics
I'm On Automatic
(Single from 'Automatic' album, 1989)
This is Metal Rhythm
A new song on the radio
Some new face
A picture on your wall
Talk to me
You say it's nothing personal
But something's wrong
It's eating me alive
I can't find the reason
So I can't find the cure
They say nothing's wrong forever
But that something's wrong with me
Oh I've never been down so far
I've never been hurt like this
I'm on automatic
I've heard it all before
Some new flavour
With nothing in the heart
This isn't music
This is survival
But I'm still here
Now isn't that strange
I can't find the reason
So I can't find the cure
They say nothing's wrong forever
But that something's wrong with me
Oh I've never been down so far
I've never been hurt like this
They say nothing's wrong forever
But that something's wrong with me
Oh I've never been down so far
Nothing's ever hurt like this
(Written by Sharpe / Numan)
No More Lies
(Single, from 'Automatic' album, 1988)
Everything, everything reminds me
Easily, you're walking out so easily
No goodbye's
Not even a tear for me
Now you cry
You'd like to have my company
But I'm not gonna call you again
I'm not gonna pick up the phone
No I'm not going through it again
You're not gonna leave me alone
No more lies
I don't need this anymore
I heard it all
And now I'm gonna close the door
Seems to me
Nothing comes that easily
Time to leave
You take it all and run from me
But I'm not gonna call you again
I'm not gonna pick up the phone
No I'm not going through it again
You're not gonna leave me alone
