On the 29th of May 1979, Gary Numan recorded a landmark session for John Peel’s BBC Radio 1 show, broadcast on 25 June. The recording features songs “Films”, "Airlane", "Conversation" and “Cars”. The session captured Numan at a pivotal moment as he transitioned from punk roots into pioneering electronic territory. Backed by members of Tubeway Army, the performance highlighted his distinctive use of synthesisers, minimal guitar, and detached vocals, offering a stark, futuristic sound that would soon dominate the charts.
Numan’s enduring legacy is closely tied to the Beggars Banquet label, which played a crucial role in his rise to prominence. It was under Beggars Banquet that he released The Pleasure Principle, his first solo album, which featured the global hit “Cars” and firmly established him as a pioneer of electronic
music.
John Peel Sessions Lyrics
Cars
(Single from 'The Pleasure Principle' album, 1979.)
Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
I't's the only way to live
In cars
Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days
In cars
Here in my car
Where the image breaks down
Will you visit me, please
If I open my door
In cars
Here in my car
I know I've started to think
About leaving tonight
Although nothing seems right
In cars
Airlane
(1979 - "The Pleasure Principle" album)
*Instrumental*
Films
('The Pleasure Principle' album, 1979)
I don't like the film
I don't like the film
Play it all back
Play it all back
And I don't like the scenery
And I don't like the set, so
Pull it all down
Pull it all down
But I like the actors
And I like the show
We're so exposed
We're so exposed
Anything can happen
Anything can happen
Don't let them see
Don't let them know
And you wonder why
And you wonder why
Turn off the lights
Turn off the sound
Conversation
('The Pleasure Principle' album, 1979)
Oh it's so easy
When parts take over
My conversation
Is nothing more than lies
You're just the viewer
So cold and distant
I've no intentions
Of saying 'I love you'
My conversation
We are not gods
We are not men
We are not making claims
We are only boys
You are not strong
You are not force
You are not regular
You are just wrong
There are no faces
This is my complex
You are my picture
I call you mirrors
These are not my tears
Not my reflection
Am I a photo?
I can't remember
