Are 'Friends' Electric? (05:24)
Tubeway Army • Replicas
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

The Machman (03:08)
Tubeway Army • Replicas
I saw him turn on
Like a machine in the park
Saying `please come with me’
But you’ve been there before
I saw him whirr away
Into the night
Like a nightmare on wheels
Saying `never again’

I’d give it all up for you
I’d even be a number just for you
The strangest living boy
You could ever wish to see
`that’s me’
Yellowed newspapers
Tell the story of someone
`do you know this man? ’
Tomorrow the cure
Only police ever
See night time for real
Turn on the light
And cry `no more, no more’

I was standing outside your door
Waiting for the grey men to go
When my mind turned on me
With a vengeance I had never known
My own
Everyone heard
The voice on the radio
Saying `why move around
And waste my time’
There are no
Independents anymore
The tape is a circle
But who really cares

I saw you behind the wall
I even heard you laugh at me
You disgust me tonight
With your answer to something new
That’s you

Praying to the Aliens (04:00)
Tubeway Army • Replicas
Slowly the thought
"there is no one to replace"
Came into view
And he began to cry
Now only boys
That love only boys
The perfect picture
Of a boy/girl age

I’m praying to the aliens
I’m praying to the aliens

Grey overcoat
And he could be anyone
A random poll check
"do you ever think of women? "
They broke him down
Into a torn old queen
Living somewhere
Between dead and dying

I’m praying to the aliens
I’m praying to the aliens

There are no more
Do you begin to see?
The corner of my eye
Could give me away
Isn’t it strange
How times change?
I can’t imagine
Living any other way

I’m praying to the aliens
I’m praying to the aliens

You Are in My Vision (03:15)
Tubeway Army • Replicas
Fade to screens of violence
Like a tv screen but silent
Where the victims are all paid by the hour
Staring at the ceiling
That she gyrates all around me
I am trying to forget she’s done this all before

Far too many people
For a quiet night with myself
Oh I could be anyone tonight
Focus on a feeling
I’ve detected while I’m sleeping
Sing a chorus of "on broadway" and deny it all

You are in my vision
I can’t turn my face
You are in my vision
I can’t move my eyes
You are in my vision
I can’t move at all
You are in my vision

Delicate bodies
That decay beneath their clothing
Play cards in an empty house in paris
The wreckage of a hero
Lies broken in a corner
And everyone pretends they like to live that way

You are in my vision
I can’t turn my face
You are in my vision
I can’t move my eyes
You are in my vision
I can’t move at all
You are in my vision

Replicas (05:00)
Tubeway Army • Replicas
It was hard to avoid
I suppose it was the shame
But they didn't even try

You see we'd never met
And they didn't have names
There was nothing I could do

So I turned on the crowd
And I screamed "you and you"
"it could have been you"

And they seemed to think
That I looked that way
Or maybe I was wrong

So I said do you know mr. wall
And they looked the other way
And then they smiled at me

But the police came
And I said it was me
And I just walked away
