Numan, Gary - Replicas Lyrics






It was hard to avoid
I suppose it was the shame
But they didn't even try

You see we'd never met
And they didn't have names
There was nothing I could do

So I turned on the crowd
And I screamed "you and you"
"It could have been you"

And they seemed to think
That I looked that way
Or maybe I was wrong

So I said do you know Mr. Wall
And they looked the other way
And then they smiled at me

But the police came
And I said it was me
And I just walked away

    This album cover is awesome. It is like he's in a building looking down on the street Bowie is standing on in his 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars' album. I can't help but see that.

  7. s.... ....

    I first heard you are in my vision on a local college radio station when I was 15 or 16. I've been hooked on this album ever since.

  8. F.... J....

    This is what the future SOUNDED like for me in the 80s.

  9. r.... ....

    This song sounds like it’s about depersonalization/disassociation. I own the vinyl and this song always gets me hyped 🔥

    A friend of mine growing up had this album on vinyl totally rocked.

    41 years later we still disconnect from

    G.... B....

    But in a positive way, I hope you mean it!

  21. D.... S....

    There is before Gary and after Gary... For those of us who get it, we can listen over and over to this music throughout our lives, it never ever gets old, it is ALWAYS fresh, new and exciting. It provides the soundtrack to our lives and speaks to us with different voices at different times depending on what we need. The sound activates us, makes us sad, makes us vibrate and gives us pleasure. You cannot explain it to someone who has not been exposed (infected?). Unless you have spent hours on a Saturday night alone in front of a mirror in your parents basement with the lights off and a flashlight for a microphone screaming "Death Death Death Until The Sun Cries Morning", there is no need to go any further...

  22. J.... F....

    I missed myself.Thank you for helping me find myself .I needed to go back to time.

  23. F.... P....

    Love that haunting sound over the funky driving rhythm. Others have done haunting, others have done funky, but this is like first time u had a Reeses' peanut butter cup. You were like "finally someone put chocolate and peanut butter together!".

  24. C.... G....

    Prefer the live version

  25. J.... V....

    "This albumi dedicated to my dear friend "STEFAN"(R.I.P) from JIMMY!"

  26. O.... P....

    15 deaf and daft pricks!

  27. a.... ....

    The music is so good, it's too bad Numan is a fascist asshat.

    a.... ....

    What the fuck are you on about? Idiot....

  28. R.... S....

    Am I the only one who still listens to this type of music anymore ?

    R.... S....

    Nope, i listen to this type of music too

    R.... S....

    No. This came out before I was born and I can't get enough of it.

    R.... S....

    You are not...

    R.... S....

    no way! tubeway.

  29. d.... g....

    my grandpa's favorite song

  30. P.... N....

    He looks a bit like Steven Severin here.

    P.... N....

    He reminds me more about a young michel Ancel (even now)

  31. F.... A....

    1:32
    Pokemon go
    tight

  32. o.... d....

    Best Tubeway Army song!

  33. c.... e....

    LOVED THIS ALBUM IN 1981

    c.... e....

    1983 but still proud. Forever new wave.

  34. J.... P....

    Man in the early eighties it looked like music was headed in a great direction and then by the mid eighties it went south. IMO

    J.... P....

    MTV helped make it less about music and more about image. As for rappers, the only rebellion they know is the nearest stereo to steal.

    J.... P....

    right, Digital Synthesizer comming up

    J.... P....

    @John Tate way to announce you know nothing

    J.... P....

    I know its three years old but this comment of yours is ignorant beyond the word I just used .

    J.... P....

    1984 and 85 were the definitive years of the 80's..

  35. S.... M....

    I recall first hearing this in 79. Just blew me away.

    S.... M....

    same here.. was also the year i bought the album,,, on cassette and still have it!

    S.... M....

    yes! same here!!!! will never forget the experience!

    S.... M....

    Yup..October 1979...just moving into my first apartment. First thing I bought before any furniture was this album.

  36. R.... A....

    Nice little break up number.

    R.... A....

    He has a couple of good track for that. Recall kicking one waste of space out of my car after playing one.

  37. R.... ....

    Amazing.... thanks!! My youth brought back... Kraftwork... Tubeway Army, OMD.... to name but a few.

  38. A.... D....

    Just back from Replicas Live at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town. Absolutely amazing. He's still got the voice and the moves:-)

  39. S.... S....

    In my opinion one of his greatest songs, an all-time classic.

    S.... S....

    Well done Sally, you never mentioned his wig 👏👐👏👐👏👐👏👐👏👐👏👐👏, just a a well rounded opinion on his music, see ya.

    S.... S....

    The way he opens 'The Touring Principle' with this one still gets me!

    S.... S....

    Yes my all time favourite of his love the way it builds up then the constant gentle beat love it

  40. N.... ....

    I've got a live version of this from what he did in the early 90's with it, but, I can't find it on the net.  It's the best ever.  IF I find it, maybe I can put it on YouTube for you guys.

    N.... ....
