Tubeway Army - Are 'Friends' Electric, 1979 HQ Instrumental + Lyrics

Tubeway Army - Are 'Friends' Electric? 1979 Without Gary Numan's vocals. Lyrics below. 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 wonder 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. A white lie that night, or a sly touch at times. I don't think it mean anything to you. So I open the door. It's the friend that I'd left in the hallway. 'Please sit down' A candlelit shadow on a wall near the bed. You know I hate to ask, but are 'friends' electric? Only mine's broke down and now I've no-one to love. So I found out your reasons 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 it meant everything to me...
