"You are attraction, it gets to be routine, you're up, I'm down"

This episode looks back at the one and only single from Gary Numan's 1981 album Dance: 'She's Got Claws'.

We delve into how the song and album was inspired by a bitter end to a relationship that went rather scary for Gary, as well as a ghostly experience on the London Underground, and how it was influenced by the music of the band Japan (leading to the involvement of Mick Karn).
