Gary Numan - Remind Me To Smile Lyrics






We'll take a taxi to the show
We could report by phone
We could remind ourselves that
We must laugh

Reconsider: 'fame'
I need new reasons
This is detention it's not fun at all

Remind me to smile
You know, 'the old friends' line
It gets so I feel like
I'm in this cold, glass, cage

I've got the horrors
Check, over my shoulder
I punch the air and fight but
No-one's there

You you - Oh no
Old scars - don't show
We fall - you see
Crawl crawl - in love
I dive - so clean
Young things - don't scream
Toys toys - so far
Boys boys - you are

[Chorus]

Get off the car
Get off the phone
Move from my window, leave me alone

Keep your revivals
Keep your conventions
Keep all your fantasies that's all we are

Gary Numan Remind Me To Smile Comments
  1. L.... G....

    Listening to the drums at the beginning: thought this will be a heart of glass remix

  2. A.... T....

    Listening now this is completely synthesised music - love it - but I am still trying to put it in perspecive

  3. A.... T....

    one of my other most favourite tracks ever - phew!

  4. D.... ....

    Why is there another version of this song where the intro appears to slide down in pitch? It sounded like something went wrong with the master tape or whatever they had back then.

    D.... ....

    early live version(s) only...

  5. C.... L....

    Absolute BANGER. Had a computer game for like windows 95 as a kid that had "Cars" on it by this cat. YouTube never disappoints.

  6. G.... G....

    I am disturbed and, frankly, upset that an ad for the ugly right-sing group "Epoch Times" played before this song. Gary Numan has always been about the future...These A-holes are about keeping us in the past.

  7. A.... F....

    The lyrics say it all. We were having a good time but Gary was not.

    A.... F....

    It's similar to John Coulter's song about how everybody enjoys Tom Cruise except Tom Cruise.

  8. H.... J....

    Opening sounds like a ripoff of the opening to NIN's "Head like a hole". :-p

    H.... J....

    Your a imbecile

    H.... J....

    More like Blondie's "Heart of Glass". Also NIN might have taken their intro from this anyway, the two have done concerts together and the band listened to this constantly while producing their debut album.

    H.... J....

    jamie fredrickson I agree, idiot!

    H.... J....

    @Jackets Both tracks used a Roland CR-78 drum machine. Being an analogue pre-set drum machine it's inevitable the same patterns were used across many songs.

    H.... J....

    @senorverde09 Roxy Music used it too.

  9. Z.... V....

    Don't Forget to Smile Today!!

    Z.... V....

    Fuck off lol

  10. J.... B....

    Blondie's 'Heart of Glass' intro.

    J.... B....

    Who really cares who copied (borrowed) from whom. Just shut up and enjoy the music and, don't forget to smile thx!

    J.... B....

    ​@Sarah's Riding The Storm Wave. Tell this to everyone complaining about Ice Ice Baby and Queen

    J.... B....

    @Blake X Nah, can't be bothered.

    J.... B....

    @Sarah's Riding The Storm Wave. Don't forget to smile

    J.... B....

    It's just a preset on a Roland CR78 drum machine....

  11. P.... ....

    My 1980 soundtrack. And Who's Next.
