It never gets boring listening to this song. My first concert was Gary Numan on the Teletour at the Manchester Apollo in 1980. I can't wait for his new album next week.

Big thumbs up. I think around this time I got sent home from school for wearing black nail polish one day trying to emulate Mr Numan (even in a small way) I was fuming being in the 5th year I thought it was nearly OK as I wasn't far from the 6th form and they could wear what they wanted.

We must have done something wrong This dark facade ends We're independent from someone This wreckage I call me Would like to frame your voice This wreckage I call me Would like to meet you, Meet you Soon We write suggestions Suggesting fading to silence And that must please you My mirror's tarnished with no-help This wreckage I call me Would like to frame your voice This wreckage I call me Would like to meet you, Meet you Soon Turn out these eyes Wipe off my face Erase me Replay the end It's all just show Erase you I need to I need to I need to This wreckage I call me Would like to frame your voice This wreckage I call me Would like to leave you, Leave you Leave you, Leave you soon

Such a weird and wonderful track! Having learned some Japanese since this was released I now realise Gary pronounces the Japanese a bit wrong! LP lyric sleeve shows 別れよう which is said "wakare yoh" not "wakare yuu". And written it should actually just be 別れよ (wakare yo). Wakare means "leaving" and "yo" is something added at the end of phrases when you want to emphasise a strong intention. So it sort of means "I am leaving, really". That's how I see it anyway! Would love to hear from any other Japanese speakers for their take.

RIP Cedric Sharpley... A KICKASS!!! D

@linavasquez-comyns949 3 года назад

Oops. I meant to state: Cedric Sharpley... A KICKASS WORLD CLASS DRUMMER!!! His skills were VASTLY UNderrated and underutilized. Due to the PROLIFIC BIAS in the music industry. Particularly at that time. Whereby Sharpley, a bi-racial Drummer, did NOT want to be pigeonholed or defined by the “acceptable” music genres for Black musicians, i.e., Soul, funk, jazz, R&B etc. Ironically, His technique and style was SO versatile that He PLAYED and ENJOYED those genres. But, He WANTED to play rock, alt music. Being THE Drummer extraordinaire for, “The Tubeway Army” exposed HIM to a much wider audience and His SKILLS to Music executives. RIP Cedric!!!!🙏🏽💐

SURPRISED that this track actually GOT a TOTP slot as it barely made the top 20. Not a patch on earlier 1980 triumphs We Are Glass and IDYD but should have done better than it did.Some people have mentioned Bowie in the comments.Numan's auto "(R)evolution" notes a VERY nasty and petty incident involving Bowie that took at least some of the stars OUT of Numans eyes and showed him that even the mighty Bowie has feet of clay!.

@colinlinskey9678 10 месяцев назад

Numan was on World Teletour, so as previous singles were promo video only releases on TOTPs, it made sense for TOTPs to tape this. No studio audience gives the game away too

Ultravox reformed after Numan's '79 tour with Midge Ure at the helm (Johnn Foxx left the band). Ultravox released 'Sleepwalk' in 1980 so no Billie Currie appearances with Numan after the '79 tour.

@ian_b Год назад

Not a great single choice, should have been "I'm An Agent" IMHO

@Lollyezzy 3 года назад

An mentioned in comments. Numan made two massive mistakes on releasing singles from 'Telekon' and 'The Pleasure Principle'. 'Metal' should have been the follow up to 'Cars' and 'Remind Me to Smile' instead of this. Only my opinion.

@Garylpool1 2 года назад

Back then you could have released double A sides, so after 'Cars' he should have released 'Metal and Films' as a double A side. 'Metal' as it was so catchy and 'Films' so when people said it was just releasing copies of 'Cars' and he didn't use real instruments they could be told to listen to 'Films'. From Telekon 'Remind me to Smile' and even the title song 'Telekon' should have been released before 'This Wreckage' regardless to how proud Gary said he was about writing this song.

@clivejones5880 2 года назад

I agree with 'Remind Me to Smile' or perhaps 'I Dream of Wires'. Don't forget Numan released 'We are Glass' and 'I Die You Die' in 1980 before 'This Wreckage' neither of which were on the original Telekon album release. We thought at the time, the first single for 1980 was going to be 'I Die You Die' since we'd been treated to an early version of the song on The Kenny Everett Video Show months earlier but WAG was a surprise single released about the same time as the Telekon album was released.

@tullmonkey 2 года назад

@@clivejones5880You are right, I remember that We are Glass was back in May and The Telekon album in September of 1980. As you mentioned I remember seeing Gary Numan on the Kenny Everett Show in January of 80 singing I die you die but it was a different version of the one that was released.
