Wikipedia:
Nowhere Man by the Beatles was released in 1965 on their album Rubber Soul. The song was written by John Lennon and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership.
Nowhere Man describes a man with no direction in his life and with no genuine worldview. It is one of the first Beatles songs to be entirely unrelated to romance or love, and marks a notable example of Lennon’s philosophically oriented songwriting.
A version by Australia’s Sherbet was released on their second live album, Caught in the Act… Live. The album peaked at #33 while the single peaked at #40.

Lyrics:
He’s a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Doesn’t have a point of view
Knows not where he’s going to
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
