Gary Numan - I Dream Of Wires Lyrics






I am the final silence.
The last electrician alive.
And they called me 'The Sparkle'.
I was the best, I worked them all.

New ways, new ways.
I dream of wires.

We opened doors by thinking.
We went to sleep by dialing 'O'.
We drove to work by proxy.
I plugged my wife in, just for show.

New ways, new ways.
I dream of wires.

So I press 'C' for 'comfort'.
I dream of wires, the old days.

New ways, new ways.
I dream of wires.

  1. R.... J....

    "I Plugged My Wife In For Show..." Profound when I first purchased this album 100 years ago... and now that I am married for 30 years... I Plug My Wife In For Show!!! RLJ

  2. J.... T....

    He'd have been my 2nd choice for Blade Runner

  3. D.... M....

    Robert Palmer made a very nice cover of this song!

  4. X.... c....

    LIVE ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xw3yeRoSUAs

  5. X.... c....

    telekon , lived in the post wire age ... the age of telekinesis , years ago , well that's one theory of it, this is unlike anyone else's , writing and/or music ,and like so many genuine musicians, he was utterly hated by the music industry and hated by most of the musicians at the time , but , not all , and so , inspired and ,pioneered elecsonic music ,he is, the maser and the originator , of it.

    X.... c....

    Dude, I hope you were drunk or high when you wrote this. If not, you need to go back to middle school. Cheers.

  6. X.... c....

    Pressing "C" for Comfort ... Laters ,

  7. j.... b....

    This just trips me out. You can really hear the Disco influence from the 70s in this, too.

  8. r.... ....

    so i press c for comfort

  9. P.... ....

    Everything about this song is perfect IMO

  10. D.... C....

    No fone 🎧

  11. A.... 2....

    The ending LOL

  12. e.... ....

    This album is awesome in its own right and without numan we would never have heard of the polymoog.Still a favorite.Screw the critics.

  13. K.... ....

    Gary was so underrated. All most knew was "Cars" and that was far from his best songs.

    K.... ....

    Yes I wish the radio had played some more songs - I didn't find his music until 1990...

  14. G.... M....

    Hi Clapham Junction. I wondered if wondered the Streets of London Dreaming of a New Way? I adore you know how!!

  15. K.... S....

    How can a 5 minute long song sound so short?

  16. d.... b....

    masterpiece of genius

  17. G.... ....

    well hello there, have a nice day

  18. C.... B....

    Still my favourite album of all time

  19. B.... C....

    3.23 to 3.50 is light years ahead of the now

    B.... C....

    Very eerie

  20. c.... ....

    30 years ago found this LP in the $1 bargain bin. Amazing, ground breaking testament to Gary, the 80s, computers, synth, new wave, a lost time.

  21. N.... M....

    Classic track.....top ten Numan track in my book.

  22. J.... G....

    Ahead of His Time .....
    I am the final silence
    The last electrician alive
    And they called me 'The Sparkle'
    I was the best, I worked them all

    New ways, new ways
    I dream of wires

    We opened doors by thinking
    We went to sleep by dialing 'O'
    We drove to work by proxy
    I plugged my wife in, just for show

    New ways, new ways
    I dream of wires

    So I press 'C' for 'comfort'
    I dream of wires, the old days

    New ways, new ways
    I dream of wires

    J.... G....

    new ways. new ways
    I. dream. of wires

    J.... G....

    Total futuristic lyrics

    J.... G....

    I plug my wife in just for show listening to it on headphones she threw something at me when I sang that bit lol

  23. E.... J....

    Listening to synth is like being caressed

    E.... J....

    It's more like a spiritual enema.

    E.... J....

    It is the mysterious, beautiful & amazing sound of My Childhood.

  24. A.... ....

    i am in awe that i can always come to this

  25. P.... v....

    Newman just smokes those moogz , vocals so cold , robotic but when he opens up the vocals, it is a 180 wow, just wow. i played this tape till it broke, n got another

    P.... v....

    The Roland Jupiter 4 was on this track

  26. j.... ....

    Similar guitar riff in Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 1)"

    j.... ....

    I think Numan tries to jump on the disco bandwagon

  27. F.... ....

    buy a can of dust off, put this shot on, and blast off....!

    F.... ....

    FrostMage loser.

    F.... ....

    Homie what the fuck

  28. D.... M....

    waiting for some big guy, you're literally all a bit light. still waiting

  29. D.... M....

    i won't allow them to harm you. as always, they'll have to wipe us out. i will not allow this to happen,

  30. B.... ....

    genius.

  31. B.... ....

    I am the final silence.
    The last electrician alive.
    And they called me "The Sparkle."
    I was the best, I worked them all.

  32. v.... a....
