Músicas que são livros: Gary Numan



 
Artist/Song: Gary Numan – Are Friends Electric? (from 1979’s Replicas)

Book: Philip K Dick’s Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?

Lyric: “You know I hate to ask/But are ‘friends’ electric?/Only mine’s broke down/And now I’ve no one to love.”

 
 
 Are 'friends' Electric? 

It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

Now the light fades out
And I'm wondering what I'm doing in a room like this
There's a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you

So now I'm alone
Now I can think for myself
About little deals
And issues
And things that I just don't understand
Like a white lie that night
Or a slight touch at times
I don't think it meant anything to you

So I open the door
It's the 'friend' that I'd left in the hallway
Please sit down
A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed

You know I hate to ask
But, are 'friends' electric?
Mine's broke down
And now I've no one to love

So I find out your reason
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts
And I'm lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
So it's time to leave
You see this means everything to me
