He came bursting out of nowhere
Like a spear into the sky
And he cast his light on everything
It was like he'd never die

And he landed right on target
But the target rolled away
And it left him pointing nowhere
You could hear the children say

"He's the fella
He's the fella
The man who invented himself
The man who invented himself"

When you need her love so badly
But she's trying to relax
You can't work it with your fingers
So you try it with an axe

And he taps you on the shoulder
"Looking out for number one
Is like drilling for a rainbow
Or an iceberg in the sun"
The man who invented himself

He's the fella
The man who invented himself
He's the fella
Nobody knows where he's from

Nobody knows where he's gone and gone and gone
But he's not here
To get back from the moon

And throw her arms around you
When you're waiting for your baby
In a very quiet lagoon

Well, that loneliness is nothing
He's the only person in the world
Just imagine how he feels
Who still believes he's real
The man who invented himself

He's the fella
He's the fella
He's the fella
The man who invented himself
The man who invented himself
He's the fella
The man who invented himself
He's the fella
The man who invented himself

He's the fellaYep

We head downhill, my hands fly back
Our fingers freeze, our hair falls out, our hair falls out
Our fingers freeze, our hair falls out
The iron piston pumps and spouts
The steaming air as hot as sprouts
All aboard, Brenda's iron sledge
No one's on top, they're comfortable
They're sitting on a human chain, a human chain
They're sitting on a human chain
Their limbs compressed in icy slush
Of freezing in a raw meat groove
All aboard, Brenda's iron sledge
Please don't call me Reg, it's not my name
The body's rear, a bucking sled
Which hits a tree and falls asleep, and falls asleep
Which hits a tree and that is that
The grasshoppers curl up and burst
And Brenda shovels on the wurst
All aboard, Brenda's iron sledge
Please don't call me Reg, it's not my name

Oh do policemen sing? I heard a person cry
We can do anything I heard the force
reply
Oh do policemen sing? Yes when they're in the
mood
And when their truncheons swing That's when they're in the
mood
It's true because I never argue with a rozzer
Never show him insolence, confidence
'Cos who supplies the evidence it's not your mother or your
lover or your best friends dog
Oh do policemen dream? Yes when they're fast
asleep
And when policemen dream It proves they're fast
asleep
Oh do policemen sing? Yes if they've got the
time
And when they sing for you? Just tell them they're
sublime
Don't get stymied, don't say bloody hell or blimey
Don't complain if your beans aren't warm
Oh do policemen sing? Oh yes extremely well
Haven't you heard the Welsh? They really do excel
And are policeman gay? Depends on what you mean
They are not lewd or queer But they all dig the
queen
Open ended, 'specially when you're apprehended, taken in
and...
Our law and order's never, never, never, never, never gonna
break down
Our law and order's never, never, never, never, never gonna
break down
Our law and order's never, never, never, never, never, never
gonna break down

It don't feel much like a home without a dog
It don't feel much like a pool without a frog
It don't feel much like a world without a girl
It don't feel much like a girl without a human being

It don't feel much like a fish without a pond
It don't feel much like a fence with no beyond
It don't feel much like a church without a god inside
It don't feel much like a bank without a lot of money

Ah come on baby (do do do)
Give me your meat
Come on baby (do do do)
Give me your meat
Uh

It don't feel much like a foot without a shoe
It don't feel much like a me without a you
It don't feel much like a train without a buffet car
It don't feel much like a bed when there's nobody on it
Ah swallow it

It don't feel much like a bath without a plug
It don't feel much like a hole without a drug
It don't feel much like a drug without a side effect
It don't feel much like an effect if you don't love nobody

Come on baby (do do do)
Gimme your meat
Come on baby (do do do)
Gimme your meat

Yeah

Sucking on a tap that never dries,
could you take it right between your eyes?
Bending blood, bending blood,
the father stood, the fathers hood.
Like shadows of an acid bird,
that etched her way across the field,
so long ago.
Walking through the field in the summer weeks,
look at all the creatures round your feet.
Pumping blood, pumping blood,
the mother gave, the mother saves,
White ointment of an acid kiss,
that burned upon the lips she gave you,
so long ago, so long ago.
Fun in the sun, locked in the blood stream,
shallow bodies writhing on the grass.
Fun in the sun, hair in the slip stream,
tadpoles shooting through a hollow glass.
Cutting out a silhoutte between,
everything is older than it seems,
son of blood, son of blood,
the baby shakes, the baby snakes,
who crawled across the acid ring
and flicker from your corpuscles,
one sunny day, one sunny day,
Fun in the sun, everyone knows it,
we could be as mellow as the hay.
Fun in the sun, everyone blows it,
they grow up and instantly decay.
Like shadows of an acid bird
that etched her way across the field
so long ago.

Don't you ever wonder 'bout the nowhere girl
Don't you feel sad or feel strange
There is no escaping from the nowhere girl
She's never really truly out of range
And I'm walking out of the picture
Leaving everything behind except my mind
Don't you feel temptation for the nowhere girl
She can burn your hands and sting your heart
She knows it's too late for you to save the world
And you believe that there's still time to start
And I'm walking out of the picture
Leaving everything behind except your mind
She's not just a pretty face
She's a big black hole as well
She swallows everything she sees
She's not of the human race
She's a creature out of hell
She's's a disease
You are just in time to see the nowhere girl
Settling her fingers 'round your brain
Saw away the taps and you're a brand new world
You'll never ever pass this way again
Walking out of the picture
Leaving everything behind except your mind

It was in the city of shame
That I found I wasn't to blame
I was looking for a weird thing or two
I discovered that it had to be you
It was in the city of fear
That I shouted 'Is there nobody here?'
Though the echo had the name on a ring
Still the echo wasn't called anything
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
It was in the city of love
All the flesh I ate was never enough
Though I knew it wasn't good for my soul
My body hungered for the ultimate goal
It was in the city of spies
That I spoke with nothing but lies
When they set a trap for all you could feel
It's important that your mind is concealed
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
It was in the city of shapes
That she made love to several apes
She felt weird for a couple of days
Pretty soon she got used to their ways
It was in the city of fools
That she sold her beautiful jewels
Someone bought them and sold them again
Now they've been bought by several men
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
