Boys like rain, cries like this time, cries I suppose, you know
Boys like rain, cries like this time, I suppose, like this time rain
Boys could breeze, too like I could down tonight I could die Boys like me cries this time I suppose you know I cried

And I'm going into like I sing like me

Boys, like rain, cries seems like I suppose this time I rain... no'
Boys like me cries I could don't suppose I could rain
Save me tonight
Boys like me seems like I could die scream like I know... you
Boys like me cries this -- oh no cries I don't know

Like I'm going into like I'm me

Boys like down
Boys like me, seems like I suppose
Boys like me
Boys like down, seems like I suppose

Like I'm going into like I'm me now

Boys like me
Boys like don't suppose this time rain
Boys like down cries seems like boys suppose this time rain
Boys like me cry seems like don't suppose this time me cries 'no'
Boys like me
Boys like down cries 'I don't know' cries...

Gary Numan

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.
