This Wreckage

"This Wreckage" is a song written and performed by the English new wave musician Gary Numan. It was featured as the opening track on his 1980 second LP Telekon.

"This Wreckage" followed the singles "We Are Glass" and "I Die: You Die", which were only included on the cassette release of Telekon and on later reissues. Released in December 1980, "This Wreckage" reached No. 20 on the UK Singles Chart. Numan later admitted that, regardless of its merits as a song, it was a "bloody stupid single". The song was later described as "possibly the strangest Top 20 hit of all time", a fore-runner of "the slightly one-note anti-religious goth-industrial music" Numan would favour later in his career.
