Your Fascination

Your Fascination - Gary Numan

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

The first signs that Numan was starting to lose his touch. A musically strong album completely at odds with its terrible image. Dark songs dealing with some very seedy subject matter that has nothing at all to do with the Casino Royale sleeve. Here's my attempt to give this single the dark twist it deserves (with a tip of the hat to George Lucas and one of my favourite movies, THX-1138.)
