Gary Numan - 1999 Lyrics
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Coulda' sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple,
Tryin' to run from the destruction,
you know I didn't even care
Two thousand zero zero, party over
Two thousand zero zero, oops, out of time
Zero zero, party over
Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
I was dreamin' when I wrote this
So sue me if I go to fast
War is all around us, my mind says prepare to fight
So if I gotta die I'm gonna listen to my body tonight
Two thousand zero zero, party over
Two thousand zero zero, oops, out of time
Zero zero, party over
Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
If U didn't come to party,
don't bother knockin' on my door, no
I got a lion in my pocket,
and baby he's ready to roar
Everybody's got a bomb,
Could all die any day
But before I get to heaven,
I'll dance my life away
Two thousand zero zero, party over
Two thousand zero zero, oops, out of time
Zero zero, party over
Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999
Party...

Gary Numan 1999 Comments
Love Numan but this was shockingly bad and he would tell you the same
Alternative title: - "Tonight I'm going to party like I've got 19.99 to spend".
A white monotone robot singing A soul genius's dance classic. What could go wrong? (Note: - it did). To be fair to Gaz though, Prince covering 'Are Friends Electric' would have been just as horrifying.
This is really, really BAD!! 👎🏻👎🏻
Das ist von Prince viel besser...nichts gegen Gary Numan
I love Gary and this song, but this isn't good, sorry Gary.
the decision to sing the chorus differently was the biggest mistake otherwise it would've been pretty good
https://youtu.be/vWbhpqxLHVE
Given it another listen it sounds like this song influences the Outland track "Icehouse"
Don't break
My heart
something's wrong with my ears
when women started singing over Gary! that was his low point!! I think he was just hanging on with no time to think!! but later on! he came back!! and was Numan again :)
Gibson Weasel Nine Inch Numan maybe. 🙄🙄🙄
Not bad.
This just didn't work, which is odd because Numan's cover of "U Got The Look" is awesome.
Prince please come back. This is disgusting.
DARK VADER
Indeed, but Gary himself acknowledges this. Prince's music was quite cheesey, Gary's was so dark, Gothic, and very sci fi. Not a good mix.
Just revisited this. Oh god.
Andy McH Cleanse yourself with his earlier and later albums because believe me this is NOT what Gary Numan stands for
I added this to my compilation of the best Prince cover versions found on YouTube called the Ultimate Prince Tribute Cover Song Playlist.
As a mark of respect to Prince I have not shared this on Facebook.
+Andy McH lol... ;-P
Really?
Thomas Hawtin well not for a few months!
Bless him; Gary's lowest point :'(
Thank 'god' he got over it when that wench, Trace, left him!
Pure shite..
I really liked this cover. I knew he had originally planned to put it on it but it was cut. I'm glad to see it surfaced on later releases.
Will Smith Gary put it on the original CD EP as a B-side way back when. I still have my copy.
