Invisible Man
Another of Leon's character songs, "Invisible Man" features a faceless businessman, dressed conventionally and using his attire as a form of camouflage to mask his being. The invisible man blends in because there is nothing out of the ordinary about him, with the real person hidden somewhere deep within.
"If you thought Susie was strange, how about the protagonist of this song? This one's dangerous, unlike Susie, not least because he passes as normal." - LR (sleevenotes to Guess What They're Selling at the Happiness Counter, 1992)
