Biography:
Ultravox (formerly Ultravox!) have been one of the primary exponents of the British new wave synthpop music movement since the late 70s. The band is particularly associated with the New Romantic scene, although it both pre- and post-dated the peak of that movement by several years. Known for popular hits such as "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes" and "Vienna" among many others, the band has drawn inspiration variously from dark, moody post-punk, the artier side of glam rock, and latterly straightforward synthpop.

Ultravox: "I Want to Be A Machine"
(Am/F = x02211)
Am/F
I found the bones of all your ghosts
Em
Locked in the wishing well
Fmaj7
While birdsong gourmets dragged empty nets
G
I slumbered in my shell
Am/F
In mitternacht, die mensch-maschine
Em
Kissed me on my eyes
Fmaj7
I rose and left the fire-ladies
G
Glowing lonely in the night
Fmaj7
With all the pornographers
Em A
Burning torches beneath the sea
Chorus:
Em F G
I want to be a machine
Em F G
I want to be a machine
Em F G
I want to be a machine
Em
I want to be a machine
Am/F
I stole a cathode face from newscasts
Em
And a crumbling fugue of songs
Fmaj7
From the reservoir of video souls
G
In the lakes beneath my tongue
Am/F
In flesh of ash and silent movies
Em
I walked at boulevards again
Fmaj7
A nebula of unfinished creatures
G
From the lifetimes of my friends
Fmaj7 Em A
I hope your innocence has depraved me
(Chorus)
Em F G ...
Am/F
Broadcast me, scrambled clean
Em
Or free me from this flesh
Fmaj7
Let the armchair cannibals take their fill
G
In every cell across wilderness
Am/F
We'll trip such a strangled tango
Em
We'll waltz a wonderland affair
Fmaj7
Let's run to meet the tide tomorrow
G
Leave all emotion dying there
Fmaj7 Em A
In the star cold beyond all of your dreams
(Chorus)
Em F G ...
Ah!
