JaggedThey say I'm unforgiven and I have to pay
Like I'm the demon resurrection
They say that I turn innocence to panic
But I don't care
They say that my obsession is unholy
That I deviate from reason
They say I make you suffer for my sins
I hope you forgive me
Do you want it?
Do you want it?
My desire
I sink to my knees
Head in my hands
So now I'm just a shadow on their bleeding hearts
This is why the righteous never learn
I'm like a dead man hiding in the dark
What do you need?
What do you need?
What have we become?
All that we could be?
Think of this as mercy, a small gift from me
What does a confession ever do
But take my guilt away
Do you want it?
Do you want it?
My desire
I Feel It Fall
I Feel It Fall From Me
I Feel It Fall Down
I Feel It Fall For You
What do you need?
What do you need?Gary Numan Tribute- Rip

Gary Numan - Jagged (Live)
Numan was born Gary Anthony James Webb on March 8, 1958, in the west London section of Hammersmith. A shy child, music brought him out of his shell; he started playing guitar in his early teens and played in several bands. Inspired by the amateurism of the punk movement, he joined a punk group called the Lasers in 1976. A year later, he and bassist Paul Gardiner split off to form a new group, dubbed Tubeway Army, with drummer Bob Simmonds. They recorded a couple of singles under futuristic pseudonyms (Valerium, Scarlett, and Rael) that attempted to match their new interest in synthesizers. Webb rechristened himself Gary Numan and replaced Simmonds with his uncle Jess Lidyard. Tubeway Army cut a set of punk-meets-Kraftwerk demos for Beggars Banquet in early 1978, which were released several years later as The Plan. The next summer, Numan sang a TV commercial jingle for jeans and toward the end of the year the group's debut album, Tubeway Army appeared. Chiefly influenced by Kraftwerk and David Bowie's Berlin-era collaborations with Brian Eno, the album also displayed Numan's fascination with the electronic, experimental side of glam (Roxy Music, Ultravox) and Krautrock, and science fiction writer Philip K. Dick.
One of the founding fathers of synth pop, Gary Numan's influence extends far beyond his lone American hit, "Cars," which still stands as one of the defining new wave singles. That track helped usher in the synth pop era on both sides of the Atlantic, especially his native U.K. where he was a genuine pop star and constant hitmaker during the early '80s. Even after new wave had petered out, Numan's impact continued to make itself felt, his dark, paranoid vision, theatrically icy alien persona, and robotic sound were echoed strongly in the work of many goth rock and industrial artists to come. For his part, Numan just kept on recording, and by the late '90s, he'd become a hip name to drop, prominent alt-rock bands covered his hits in concert, and a goth-flavored brand of industrial dance christened darkwave looked to him as its mentor.
