"Metal" is a song by Gary Numan from his 1979 album The Pleasure Principle. Lyrically, the song is heavily inspired by science fiction such as the works of Philip K. Dick and William S. Burroughs, and tells the story of an android who wishes to be human but never can be. The song was the B-side of "Cars" in the U.S. The song was released with an accompanying music video. The song recycles lyrics from two outtakes of the songs "The Crazies" and "We Have a Technical" from the recording sessions for Numan's album Replicas, which had been released earlier in 1979.

  • "Metal" is a song by Gary Numan from his 1979 album The Pleasure Principle. Lyrically, the song is heavily inspired by science fiction such as the works of Philip K. Dick and William S. Burroughs, and tells the story of an android who wishes to be human but never can be. The song was the B-side of "Cars" in the U.S. The song was released with an accompanying music video. The song recycles lyrics from two outtakes of the songs "The Crazies" and "We Have a Technical" from the recording sessions for Numan's album Replicas, which had been released earlier in 1979. "Metal" has been a regular feature of Numan's live shows since his first tour in 1979, and appears on the majority of his live albums. In 1981, he wrote new lyrics to the tune of "Metal" for his album Dance and renamed the song "Moral". He often performs this re-recorded version. The song was again reworked into his aggressive new style in 1998, a version which is also still performed today. The song has been covered by artists such as Nine Inch Nails, Thought Industry, Afrika Bambaataa (featuring Numan himself), Nouvelle Vague, and Poppy. Poppy's version is on the soundtrack of the 2019 video game WWE 2K20. (en)
  • «Metal» (с англ. — «Металл») — песня Гэри Ньюмана из его сольного дебютного альбома 1979 года The Pleasure Principle. Лирически песня написана в стиле научной фантастикой, вдохновленной произведениями Филипа К. Дика и Уильяма С. Берроуза; повествует об андроиде, который хочет быть человеком, но не может им стать. Песня была би-сайдом сингла «» в США. На песню также было снято музыкальное видео. Эта песня регулярно звучит на концертах Ньюмана с его первого тура в 1979 году и появляется на большинстве его концертных альбомов. В 1981 году Ньюман написал новые тексты на мотив «Metal» для своего альбома и переименовал песню в «Moral». Ньюман часто исполняет эту версию. Песня была переработана в его агрессивный новый стиль в 1998 году, и эта версия исполняется до сих пор. Многие исполнители делали кавер-версию на песню «Metal», среди которых Nine Inch Nails (альбом Things Falling Apart), (альбом ), Afrika Bambaataa совместно Гэри Ньюманом (альбом ) и Poppy (одноимённый сингл). В песне повторяются тексты двух отрывков с сессий альбома : «The Crazies» («I’m still confusing love with need», с англ. — «Я все ещё путаю любовь с потребностью») и «We Have a Technical» («I could crawl around the floor just like I’m real», с англ. — «Я мог бы ползать по полу, как настоящий»).
