No-One Driving" is a 1980 song by UK artist John Foxx, and was released as a single in March 1980. It was the second single release from the Metamatic album, after "Underpass". The song is typical of Foxx's musical output of the time, featuring a Ballardian dystopian scenario involving an automobile in the lyrics, with music produced using electronic instruments (synthesisers, drum machines, electronic percussion) only.

This song is by John Foxx and appears on the album Metamatic (1980). Seems like you were lit insideI feel like fog beside the shineFigure fades awaySomeone takes my placeMeshing with the pictures on the pages. There's no-one drivingThere's no-one drivingThere's no-one drivingThere's no-oneThe family's back from long agoThe voices burnt, the voices goldVapour trails go byVoices on the linesNothing to come back to can't we fade?

Originally released in 1980 Metamatic is one of the most popular John Foxx albums. The live recording opens with the B-side Film One. Sadly it sounds like a backing tape of the original recording with some synth doodling over the top. It would have been nice to have heard a fresh version of this track. Each track has the inclusion of the audience to give more atmospheres; this ambience is then faded out of the recording. Various other B-sides appear alongside the original Metamatic album tracks; these include Glimmer, Mr No and This City from the ‘No-One Driving’ double single. Another interesting inclusion was ‘My Face’ from the flexi disc. The album ends with the newly titled 21st Century. This is really a collectors album for fans of John Foxx, those who are new to John Foxx should listen to the original Metamatic album first. Reply Notify me 3 Helpful.

Transpose the chords one semitone down or up. Capo.

On the plaza We're dancing slowly lit like photographs Across the plaza Toward the shadow of the cenotaph Chorus: Down escalators, come to the sea view Behind the smoked glass no-one sees you A familiar figure comes to meet you I remember your face from some shattered windscreen Across the plaza A giant hoarding of Italian cars Across the plaza The. lounge is occupied by seminars (Chorus) From the plaza The highways curve in over reservoirs On the plaza A queue is forming for the cinemas (Chorus) On the plaza (Repeat and fade).

John Foxx, Tales of the Quiet Man (Singles Collection 1980-1981) представлены 7" и 12" синглы, выпущенные в начале сольной карьеры Фокса (с первых двух альбомов), когда он революционно экспериментировал с холодным синти поп звучанием, возрождение интереса к которому было уже в 2000-х (а так же к дабу, крауту, да и к хиппи тоже) первый альбом - "METAMATIC" (1980) - икона и образец синти. Two singles came out from this album, "Underpass" (released a week before the album, in January 1980) and "No-One Driving" (released in March 1980).
