Rip CD

The only single, "Rip", was released 18 months after the album; it reached number 29 in the UK charts, making it Numan's first new single to hit the Top 40 since "No More Lies" with Shakatak's Bill Sharpe in 1988. In the United States, "Listen to my Voice" was a radio hit, reaching No.13 on the R&R Alternative Charts.

Rip

I'll get down on my knees
I'll do anything I can
I'll even walk upon water
I'll burn the soul of man 

I'm so sick with need
I'm so sick with pain
I'll lay before the cross and pray
I'll bleed like holy rain 

I've done nothing to you 

I'll rip the skin from God's face
I'll say I'm searching for the truth
I'll steal the light from heaven's gate
If it can guide me to you 

I'll give life to obsession
I'll give life to disease
I'll give you one last sin or cure
And then I'll do as I please 

I've got something for you

This Wreckage

('Telekon' album, 1980) 

And what if God's dead
We must have done something wrong
This dark facade ends
We're independent from someone 

This wreckage I call me
Would like to frame your voice
This wreckage I call me
Would like to meet you, meet you
Soon 

We write suggestions
Suggesting fading to silence
And that must please you
My mirrors tarnished with 'no help' 

This wreckage I call me
Would like to frame your voice
This wreckage I call me
Would like to meet you meet you
Soon 

(Japanese)
I leave you 

Turn out these eyes
Wipe off my face
Erase me
Replay 'The end'
It's all just show
Erase you
I need to I need to I need to

Are 'Friends' Electric?
(1979 single, from "Replicas" album) 

It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette 

Now the light fades out
And I wonder what I'm doing
In a room like this
There's a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought
I remembered you 

(7.4)
So now I'm alone
Now I can think for myself
About little deals
And S.U's
And things I just don't understand
A white lie that night
Or a sly touch at times
I don't think it meant anything to you 

So I open the door
It's the 'friend' that I'd left in the hallway
'Please sit down'
A candlelit shadow on a wall near the bed 

You know I hate to ask
But are 'friends' electric?
Only mine's broke down
And now I've no-one to love 

(7.4)
So I found out your reasons
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts
And I'm lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
It must be time to leave
You see it meant everything to me
