[Purchase]

On the week of August 24, 1980 Gary Numan's new single "I Die : You Die" b/w a piano version of "Down in the Park"  entered the UK charts at #8. It would peak two spots higher at UK#6 but fail to enter the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. The song was not included on UK pressings of the forthcoming Telekon but did appear on the American versions.

 In the song Numan attacks the press:

They crawl out
Of their holes for me
And I die you die
Hear them laugh
Watch them turn on me
And I die you die
See my scars
They call me such things
Tear me, tear me, tear me
