The Fury

Gary Numan The Fury Lyrics
1.Call Out The Dogs

Here am i
Like a target in flesh
One more time
For you to call out the dogs
Passengers
With a ticket to burn and burn and burn
You will learn
I'm still waiting for you you know

I'm a slogan, an old story,
A disease, never again
I don't like this, new anger,
These young boys, just make me laugh
This picture, i'm so nervous,
The dj, says 'who are you?'
Look at me, i'm shaking,
I don't know if i can move

I don't need
This attention again
I've lost time
I could lose everything
You will learn
That you've nowhere to go so go


2.This Disease

This disease
I'm out of my class
This disease
I'm needle sick again
This disease
We must expect such things
This disease
She finds me the girls

Tick tock tick
All gone all gone all gone
Tick tock tick
Whispering goodbye
Tick tock tick
Who is talking?
Tick tock tick
I don't have the choice

Look at me
A puppet dancing on strings
Look at me
And this is easy?
Look at me
I got the screams
Look at me
Words failing

This disease
This disease


3.Your Fascination

My confession
I'll steal anything in sight or sound
My confession
This is the sound of fear
And i'll fall down

I don't need it
If you're gonna leave then do it soon
I don't need it
Everything you've ever seen
I've seen before

Leave her to me
Leave her to me

I don't suppose you ever laughed at me
Your fascination leaves me cold
I don't suppose you ever loved at all

I don't need it
I don't need it

If you want it
Every little girl is welcome here


4.Miracles

I don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in forgiving
I don't believe in i can go on
I won't remember why
I don't believe in long goodbyes
Never look back for me

It's over
And everything has gone
And everything has gone away

I don't remember the faces
I don't remember the feelings
I don't remember your stories
I won't remember you
I don't remember our secrets
My god just look at me


5.The Pleasure Skin

The sound of breathing
'protect the disease in me' she says
The sound of breathing
I have never known fear like this before

I remember
'the beauties's old but still as good' she said
I remember
That i woke up in a cold dark room again

We are new men
We're the service, the pleasure skin
We are new men
No words, no image, no hope and fame

No shelter
You could feel the bitch outside the door
No shelter
She said 'nothing is leaving here alive'


6.Creatures

I need it
The sex skin habit
You could just crawl out
And forget i'm here

I need it
Love and something
I'd just as soon forget
So keep it out the papers

I need it
'the sex musicians'
I'll show you 'something'
While the boys beat time

I need it
And she's still waiting
We like to wake up
In a strange bed romance

One more time for me
You are the young things fed on garbage and lies
Please one more time for me
You are the young things fed on garbage and lies
I'm talking far too much about my shame

I need it
Creatures calling
I'll tear my heart out
But i need some more

I need it
I'm under pressure
I don't remember
If her story's true


7.Tricks

I've seen the 'action'
All kinds of people
Seen things disgusting
I've seen it all

I've heard excuses
All kinds of stories
I've heard confessions
I've heard it all

They wrote bad poems
Painted bad pictures
They say we used them
I'm not sure

Some call it love and
Some call it affection
I don't believe it
It's all clean young flesh

And we all fall down
We all fall down

You say you want it
Dress to kill and kill me
We could play new games
And you could lose

Don't tell your mother
Or some jealous husband
Don't talk of love just
Send me a postcard

We need to feel it
We need to feel it
I've lost all patience
You'll lose all pride

I've no conversation
I've no good intentions
I've room for one more
I've room for you

They say we're 'corrupted'
They say we're 'disturbing'
I don't know
It must be true

They say we're 'reckless'
They say we're 'vicious'
It's just a rumour
We don't leave scars

She likes the movement
She likes the motion
She likes to whisper
But then she likes to scream

She likes the dancing
She likes the make up
She likes to forget
'bout everything


8.God Only Knows

I was waiting for something
I was listening to my breathing
Like a man listening to life

I was looking for fire
It could take me or leave me
It could all just burn away

The oxygen law
It remains me

I'd been surrounded for hours
By the sound of thinking metal
And i knew something was wrong

I can tell you what fear is
It is the smell of burning
And i'd been close once before

I waited a long time
How i survived god only knows
It seemed like forever
How i survived god only knows
I don't like the memory
How i survived god only knows
How i survived god only knows

I remember the feeling
I'll remember forever
How it all just came apart

I don't believe in praying
I don't believe in a god
Now i question everything

The dreamer is gone
I'm an old man

I could tell you of horror
I could show you the pieces
But i just want to forget

I'm not sure if i saw it
I'm not sure if i heard it
I just screamed 'i can't get out'
'i can't get out'


9.I Still Remember

So you've gone
Singing some old love song
I've nothing more to lose

I'm surrounded
By old stories
With nowhere to hide

I could tear
All your pictures
I could tear everything

You told me
Time makes it easy but you
Never told me time stands still

I can't believe it
I can't believe how it hurts
I can't believe it
I can't believe how love burns away

I remember

I can't sleep
All your words
Seem to let me down

Where are you
Why don't you call
It's been a long long time

I still remember
I still remember it all
I still remember
I still remember how love burned away

This could be
My last song
Everything must end some day


10.Anthem

Instrumental


11.Tribal

I'm standing for someone or something
I read it in the papers.
I still remember
I heard it on the radio.

Chorus:
I'm a slogan, an old story,
A disease, never again.
I don't like this, new anger,
These young boys, just make me laugh.
This picture, i'm so nervous,
The dj says 'who are you?'
Look at me, i'm shaking,
I don't know if i can move.

Working boys ?????? tonight

I don't want to be a ???? picture
I don't want to be an old man
I don't want to be a good friend
I don't want to be a hero.

(repeat chorus)
