Robyn Hitchcock - The man who invented himself video free download

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

The man who invented himself

He's the fella

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"

He's the fella

The man who invented himself

He's the fella

The man who invented himself

Nobody knows where he's from

Nobody knows where he's gone and gone and gone

But he's not here

When you're waiting for your baby

To get back from the moon

And throw her arms around you

In a very quiet lagoon

Well, that loneliness is nothing

Just imagine how he feels

He's the only person in the world

Who still believes he's real

He's the fella

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 fella

The man who invented himself

He's the fella

The man who invented himself

Yep

He's the fella
