You and me are old
You and me are young
You and me have always
Let words go unsung

Nothing left to see
Nothing left to do
Nothing left to talk about

How I intrude
This impossible room
I still believe
That great American smile

Nothing's ever right
Nothing's ever wrong, but
Nothing's ever quite like
The stories and songs (nothing's ever)

Nothing is the same
Nothing ever changes, and
Nothing's ever quite like
The pictures I've seen (nothing's ever)

No one's in the dark
No one's in the corner, and
No one's in the wardrobe just
Waiting to pounce (nothing's ever)

Heroes always bleed
But heroes never cry
Heroes always get the best girl
And then die (nothing's ever)

How I intrude
This impossible dream
I still believe
That great American smile

Nothing's ever

Gary Anthony James Webb (born 8 March 1958), known professionally as Gary Numan, is an English singer, songwriter, composer, musician and record producer.

Born in Hammersmith, West London, he first entered the music industry as lead singer of the new wave band Tubeway Army. After releasing two albums with the band, Numan released his debut solo album The Pleasure Principle in 1979.

With number-one singles “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?” and “Cars”, Numan achieved his peak of mainstream popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but maintains a cult following.
