Listen Zara
Listen Zara
Listen Zara
Boys like me
We get used to
Things like you

Boys like me
We don't understand
Lies like yours

Listen Zara
Listen Zara
Listen Zara
Boys like me
From rags to riches
Bleed for you

Boys like me
Regret things sometimes
Things like you

But it can wait
Boys like me
But it can wait
Boys like me

Listen Zara
Listen Zara
Listen Zara
Boys like me
We are short stories
Shapes for you

Boys like me
We live in dreams
But they're yours not ours

Is that okay?

Gary Anthony James Webb (born 8 March 1958), known professionally as Gary Numan, is an English singer, songwriter, composer, musician and record producer.

Born in Hammersmith, West London, he first entered the music industry as lead singer of the new wave band Tubeway Army. After releasing two albums with the band, Numan released his debut solo album The Pleasure Principle in 1979.

With number-one singles “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?” and “Cars”, Numan achieved his peak of mainstream popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but maintains a cult following.
