Tubeway Army - "Are 'Friends' Electric?"

"I wrote it on an old pub piano my mum and dad bought, which I didn't realize was out of tune. It was initially two different songs, which is why it's over five minutes long. I had a verse from one, the chorus from the other, and was struggling to mix them together. I got so fed up, one day I played them one after another and suddenly they sounded right." -- Gary Numan, The Guardian, February 2014.
