Actually, you are mistaken. While this track is not "rare" as the post info stated, this is indeed "GN" on vocals. The song is "The Sailor in Love with the Sea" (featuring Gary Numan) and was written by Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields for one of his other projects, The 6ths. It appears on their 2nd album, Hyacinths & Thistles, released in 2000 on Merge Records. It features a number of other guest artists, and is available at any of the online retailers; Amazon, Spun, Barnes & Noble...
Not on;y have I never heard this, I've never heard of it. Strange how things fall through the cracks. I like it but it seems like the song just cuts off abruptly at the end.
Wow i've heard of this song but never heard it before! Any idea when it was written? Doesn't sound like numans music to me, but defo his lyrics..cheers
This is superb! Gary always surprises.

Think he means 'sick' as in 'cool'...e.g. 'That movie was sick' = 'That movie was cool'

Sigh and grow every day paler
Bowed by a mortal ennui
I fell in love with a sailor
A sailor in love with the sea
Cry like Elizabeth Taylor
Out on the end of the quay
I fell in love with a sailor
A sailor in love with the sea
excellent
