Not one single person in the audience knew that song. They're all standing around with confused looks on their faces... but somehow they knew it was Gary's Birthday. I bought the EP with Downstat on it 35 years ago. This song needs to be played faster as a live number. It'd rock a lot harder.
Only a downstat Personality problem He would say things like 'I love you' And cry real tears Met him in some place Like a home for old mothers Where the cure is always death But no-one ever leaves He wore a number 7 Badge on his collar He would show it with pride And say 'it means I can feel' He'd bribe the warders To send letters to someone Who didn't even know his name But said she'd read them anyway And in the evening (?) He writes poetry for people Who deny he's alive And say 'I'll mention that name' A violator of the law of no feelings They should be put in the chair Until their eyes come in (?) If you have reasons I might sell you my time I'll leave it under the stairs In a body of mine Old memories are slowly fading out of me We are the unknowns, we are all you need

Been a Numan fan that long and never heard of these songs until a few years ago.
As a fan of '79 till now I know this song very very well, as most fans do I suppose!
Never heard of "We Have A Technical" until a few years ago. Been a Numanoid since Cars. What's your point?

Underrated song
FUCKING GENIUS
Only a downstat
Personality problem
He would say things like 'I love you'
And cry real tears
Met him in some place
Like a home for old mothers
Where the cure is always death
But no-one ever leaves
He wore a number 7
Badge on his collar
He would show it with pride
And say 'it means I can feel'
He'd bribe the warders
To send letters to someone
Who didn't even know his name
But said she'd read them anyway
And in the evening (?)
He writes poetry for people
Who deny he's alive
And say 'I'll mention that name'
A violator of the law of no feelings
They should be put in the chair
Until their eyes come in (?)
If you have reasons
I might sell you my time
I'll leave it under the stairs
In a body of mine
Old memories are slowly fading out of me
We are the unknowns, we are all you need
