Metal Rhythm

Gary Numan Metal Rhythm Lyrics
1.This Is Emotion

This is
This is emotion calling
Inside
You don't know me
One game
A miracle of invention
You lose
These rules are mine

Dirty pictures
You're in the movies
Move in
Move out
I'm in slow motion

One love
One tear
One night
Of fear
One game
You lose
This is
Emotion

Look left
There's nothing over there but vengeance
Look right
There's nothing over there but greed
Look up
There's nothing up there but rumours
Look down
There's nothing down there but me

One love
I don't want to talk about it
One love
One pain
I don't want to talk about it
One pain
One more
Another night to remember
One more
Another name to forget
One more
Another young heart to play with
One more
Another young heart to break

We've got to get out
We must get out of here
We've got to get out
We've got to get away

I'm listening to stories
Of love and affection
That i don't believe
I'm listening to liars
With pretty young faces
And eyes that deceive


2.Hunger

Tell you a story
'bout a friend of mine
Woke up in this room
Looked like... black and white movies

No light
And someone strange in the bed
She said
'you could be here forever'

'can you feel me?
I'm the new disease
I'm like a hunger
That you've never known'

'do you want me?
I'll take everything
I'm like a hunger
Lying in your heart'

He made excuses
Tried to leave the room
She said
'i'm the disease and the cure

Skin mechanics
Couldn't help you here
The nature of need
Leaves you junk sick and lonely'

'trick it up
Trick it up good'

She moved
Like a ghost to the door
She said
'this is a re-al love story'

I heard his voice
And walked in on it all
She said
'you could be here forever'


3.New Anger

I've read the papers
Look at this
They say that i'm all over
I don't know
They're not the first ones to try
So try
Again

What's the fashion?
Is it good?
I'll need some convincing
If you've got it
Then i've seen it before
So try
Again

Welcome to new anger
Do you want it?
Do you want it?

I don't need it
I can stop
I can take this or leave it
You can have it
But if you want it from me
Then come
And try

I've been bad
I've been good
I've been one more hero
I've been up
And i've been lower than you
So come
And try

If you want it
Come and get it


4.Devious

I remember one girl
Saw her again in a magazine
Front cover, big star
Showing things that i'd never seen
Well maybe

Can you feel it? can you?

I remember one girl
Who'd believe she'd be so devious
Bad decision, bad move
She told the papers everything
Well maybe

Do you need it, do you?
Do you want it, do you?
Come and get it

I remember one girl
She'd only make friends in expensive cars
Television, good wine
Leather seats and a friend of mine
Well maybe

Something's coming
Oh no


5.America

I'm in a car
And i'm over you
I'm a passenger
And i'm over you

I'm looking for
America
I'm looking for
You

I'm in a glasshouse
And i'm over you
I'm thin, far too thin
And i'm over you
I'm in a corner
And i'm over you
I'm old, far too old
And i'm over you


6.Voix

I don't like young girls
I don't like boys
I like some bitch to scare me
I like that noise

I don't like secrets
I don't like god
I don't like people
When they say i'm things i'm not

I don't need opinions and rumours
I don't need a voix in the dark
I don't need to listen to strangers
I don't need to tear out my heart

One stranger
One heartbeat
One love is
Forever
One picture
One morning
One tear lasts
Forever

I like this motion
I like this heat
I like this breathing
And i know i like this beat

I like your whispers
I like your screams
I like your lies
And i'm sure i'd like your dreams

You don't need opinions and rumours
You don't need a voix in the dark
You don't need to listen to strangers
You don't need to tear out your heart

I'll show you pictures
I'll make you cry
I'll show you things you've done
And then i'll ask you why

I don't need heroes
I don't need this name
I don't need favours
And i know i don't need fame

We don't need opinions and rumours
We don't need a voix in the dark
We don't need to listen to strangers
We don't need to tear out our hearts

One reason
One secret
One lie is
Forever
One nightmare
One rumour
Your shame is
Forever


7.Respect

That's ok
If that's the way you wanna play it
I don't mind
I can play it anyway

You won't stop
Until i pul you to pieces
Which i will in time
But i'm still curious

You're so young
Not one backbone between you
But you think you'll make a hero
Quite peculiar

You're just boys
You don't know what you've angered
Did you know you're talking to the heart
Of the machine?

Welcome boys
Welcome to the real world
I could almost be sorry
But i could be wrong

I know you
I know what you've been doing
I know where you live
And i know where you are

You know me
I'm the smiling assassin
You know i won't forgive
And you know i won't forget


8.Young Heart

I'm a hero in a book
I'm a picture on your wall
I'm on the tv
I'm arrogant, seen it all

I'm a distraction
Like a hideous new disease
I'm in the papers
But that's not really me

Young heart
Give me something i can do

I'm a decision
I'm a morning filled with shame
I'm a perversion
But i don't know it's name

In a car
On the floor
Up against the wall
With a friend or two
Someone to watch it all

Young heart
Everyone does it here
Young heart
Does your mother know what you've seen?
Young heart
Everyone does it here
Young heart
Does your mother know where you've been?

What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do now?

I don't believe in it
I don't believe in it

What are you gonna say?
What are you gonna say now?

I don't believe in it
I don't believe in it

What are you gonna feel?
What are you gonna feel now?

I don't believe in it
I don't believe in it

Where are you gonna go?
Where are you gonna go now?

I don't believe in it
I don't believe in it

Young heart, like you
Young heart like you
I'm not the question
I'm not the pain
I'm not surprised
And i'm certainly not ashamed

I want your number
I want your name
I won't remember
Young hearts all the same


9.Cold Metal Rhythm

This isn't music
This is survival
Used up and burnt out
Like an old ford car

No more opinions
I'm back in harness
Cold metal rhythm
Takes me back to god

Metal rhythm
Cold and sane
Know my reason
Know my name

Radio station
Thank you for nothing
I like this anger
And i won't forget

This isn't love
It's more like a need
I'm a cold metal junkie
And i need the cure


10.Don't Call My Name

Don't look for me
Don't call my name
Don't wait for time
Don't wait for love

Time now to leave
Time now to cry
Don't wait for love
No long goodbyes
