Gary Numan - My Breathing Lyrics






Assassination of the voice of God
I don't know if I can do it
I've found the problem and the problem's you
I'm here to pick up the pieces.

You won't remember me but I do you
I told you that I would come back
Everything will be decided here
They can read it in the papers.

Your breathing haunts me
My breathing?
The sleeproom still waits for me.

Join the army you can see the world
I remember this one patrol
Been liberating river towns
And we picked up the sex skin crawl.

We would sing the new leader's song
Everyone invented stories
The connection was a fragile thing
Far too many distractions.

I've been listening to the new 'DJ'
What's all this 'original' con?
We all live in the same museum
We all rearrange the same old song.

Assassination by the radio
I don't know if they can do it
I've found the problem and the problem's 'One'
I'm here to pick up the pieces.

Gary Numan My Breathing Comments
  1. T.... R....

    Su voz es tan genial...

  2. M.... D....

    Brilliant songwriter. Can go from New Wave to funk to alt metal. It's not easy to pick one since I like so many of his songs, but this is my favorite. His using surreal female vocals and middle eastern vibes. So far ahead of its time & nobody has even ventured near this yet. The best song ever that should have been on a major movie soundtrack - but wasn't.

  3. N.... ....

    Similarities with Camouflage by Stan Ridgway.

  4. T.... ....

    One of my most favorite songs by him. He has so many that I like!

  5. c.... e....

    gary please hide man,kill by numbers has caught up to you,its this week thursday

  6. S.... B....

    Never liked this track until saw it live with Skaparis Orchestra. Oh WOW .. my hubby also a fan recognised it as a fab track after hearing live last Saturday. he'd never heard it before. but he's right.

  7. B.... S....

    Gary played this live for his lastest tour with Skaparis Orchestra 2018. Absolute out of this world with the Orchestra.

    B.... S....

    @Richi Jennings must definitely be building her confidence to start a career with music

    B.... S....

    I was there at the RAH for it. Had a box stage front in the Grand Tier. Just above the lasers. Beer and pizza. Best night in many years.

    B.... S....

    I can only agree,I saw Gary in Newcastle and Glasgow.

    B.... S....

    played it in Dublinlast night unreal.. brill

    B.... S....

    So many of Gary's songs lend to an orchestra that the Skaparis Orchestra was a masterstroke.
    From the opening transcript of Holst's - The Planets (Mars), through the Replicas melody into Ghost Nation.
    Best intro to a show and the rest, well, I'm still feeling it.

  8. D.... S....

    I saw him live last night with a full orchestra behind him and he played this and it sounded sooooo good holy fuck

  9. T.... A....

    God! How I loved this tune way back in the last century… thirty years just went by.

  10. d.... h....

    Arguably his best work
    Berserker and this lp

    d.... h....

    Amazes me every time. The haunting female vocal especially.

  11. D.... F....

    Now Gary is doing film music his albums are hitting no2 keep going Gary.

  12. P.... T....

    Tapping feet

  13. M.... C....

    Great work Gary Ratcliffe

  14. b.... ....

    At 1:00 and throughout the song I'd swear that's a riff from a Simple Minds song, which I can't quite put my finger on.

  15. d.... t....

    I love this album...always have...great tunes...

  16. P.... C....

    This track and the sleep room. Best tracks off strange charm

    P.... C....

    Possibly
    The lp kills

    P.... C....

    Mmm you didn't mention This Is Love, quite possibly the best track on Strange Charm with a beautifully haunting Sax by Dick Morrissey :)

  17. R.... C....

    Gary crushes the competition

    R.... C....

    Indeed
    Though im not thrilled with splinter and savage
    (Life long listener since 1979)

  18. T.... L....

    in the wilderness years this was a gem

    It was so poor that all the critics wrote and produced better albums? Fuck off!

  24. w.... ....

    irony was that the lyrics were having a dig at radio 1 hampering his success by not giving him air time , gary is still going when most of that era are gone or forgotten ...... who had the last laugh ???  the guy has long lasting talent not merely one or two huge records !

    I'm happy to have searched for more music of GN and was lucky to find this song. cry the clock said is also one of my favourites
    Kristien

    K.... V....

    Astute observation
    Excellent perspective

  26. P.... T....

    Totally Agree!!!

  27. a.... d....

    think gary himself may realise its a good en..played it live a few times..personally i think more or less the same..good track on poor and often forgotten album.

    a.... d....

    Gotta tell ya
    Via vinyl.
    I have burned this album into my brain
    It may be his best

    a.... d....

    Strange Charm was a decent album had a few standout tracks

  28. j.... ....

    I swear Gary looks like Bowie with jet black hair from that angle in that pic that starts at 3:20

  29. P.... T....

    The only decent song on a very, very poor album.

  30. T.... ....

    @wallyma1
    I couldn't agree more. The album only had two good songs on it...this one and 'This Is Love'. Would have been cool if Numan had explored more exotic territory like this.

  31. w.... ....

    Should have been a single release. Superb opener to a disappointing album.

  32. E.... T....

    It's a pity that there was no video, or the song never released as a single. I bought 'Strange Charm' on CD in 2005 and this opening track is one of the best songs I've ever heard. A masterpiece.

    E.... T....

    Its radical
    Bit the disc is worthy

  33. S.... E....

    i bought the album "strange charm" in 1986,and fuck me,was this the first and best track on it!

    S.... E....

    Tough(and elegant) as nails

  34. m.... ....

    You can find it on 1986's Strange Charm

  35. V.... E....

    So cool

    V.... E....

    And no Numan had nothing to do with it all the fans idear
