After living in New York City and working for an advertising agency there, he moved with his family to California in the early 1950s.

Under the Skin is a 2000 surrealist novel by Dutch-born, Australian-raised, Scottish-resident, contemporary novelist Michel Faber. Set in northern Scotland, it traces an extraterrestrial who, manifesting in human form, drives around the Scottish countryside picking up male hitchhikers whom she drugs and delivers to her home planet. The protagonist is Isserley, an extraterrestrial sent to Earth by a rich corporation on her planet to pick up unwary hitchhikers. She drugs them and delivers them to her compatriots, who mutilate and fatten her victims so that they can be turned into meat—human ("vodsel") flesh is a delicacy on the aliens' barren homeworld.

Love come back my way again.
Love, come back and stay again.
Cause without you there's no dream
And my life is like a stream that won't run free.
Love, come back to me again.
And love, make my soul free again.
Cause without you I'll grow old, living out there in the cold.
And people will pass me by look at me see through me
Verse 2
Love, come back my way again
Love, brighten my day again
Cause without you I'm alone, and my heart ain't got a home.
And I feed on self pity; I live in a city of fear.
Love, come back to me again.
Love, let my eyes see again,
All the joy that I once knew, being with you close to you.
Being as free as the wind never feared what tomorrow would bring
Love, come back my way
Oh, Love
