** "Down in the Park" from ''Replicas'' is a chilling ballad about a futuristic park in which Machmen (androids with human skin) and machines rape and kill human beings to entertain spectators who, along with their numerically-named robotic "friends", view the carnage from a nearby club. The narrator seems to be either one of the spectators themselves or just someone who's been ConditionedToAcceptHorror, and the detached way he describes the scene is horrifying in itself.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: For all the talk over the years of Gary being robotic, alien, what have you, Gary very much has a human heart -- watch him [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN2CqBZ1f8c perform "My Name Is Ruin"]] with his daughter, Persia. Even through a song about vengeance and post-apocalyptic survivalism, he is absolutely beaming with pride at his little girl. Gary's fans, it should be noted, universally adore Persia.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Lots and lots and lots. "Cars", "Are 'Friends' Electric?", "M.E.", "Love Hurt Bleed", etc... There is pretty much not a single Gary Numan song that is not awesome in some way or another.

* FriendlyFandoms: With Music/{{Devo}}. They're both synthesizer-heavy NewWaveMusic acts who are perceived as one hit wonders (though only stateside in Numan's case), have dedicated cult followings, and have influenced many later musicians.

** "If We Had Known" from the EP "The Fallen" is, by its loose reference to the poem "The Rainbow Bridge", about the loss of a pet. In the months leading up to the release of "The Fallen", he had lost a cat and two dogs in that time, including one who died of complications following a surgery to fix their breathing issues.
