Bielefeld (German pronunciation: [ˈbiːləfɛlt]) is a city in the Ostwestfalen-Lippe Region in the north-east of North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany. With a population of 327,000, it is also the most populous city in the Regierungsbezirk Detmold.
The historical centre of the city is situated north of the Teutoburg Forest line of hills, but modern Bielefeld also incorporates boroughs on the opposite side and on the hills.
Bielefeld is home to a significant number of internationally operating companies, including Dr. Oetker, Gildemeister and Schüco. It has a university and several Fachhochschulen. Bielefeld is also famous for the Bethel Institution, and for the Bielefeld Conspiracy, which satirises conspiracy theories by claiming that Bielefeld does not exist. This concept has been used in the town's marketing and alluded to by Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Standing on the outside, I don't know where I'm going to
But I do know just one thing, and that is it's over with you
I've been very lonely, I did not think I could go on
I was caught - in memories, and dreams I should have won
Blind Freddy knew that, a blind man could see
I was in love with you, but you weren't in love with me
Suppose I'll have to keep it, keep it inside, I don't know why
Well I know, that it won't change it, but baby, it helps if I cry
Blind Freddy knew that, a blind man could see
I was in love with you (in love with you)
But you weren't in love with me
It used to be so perfect (so perfect)
It used to be so perfect (so perfect)
lovin' you (used to be so perfect lovin' you)
It used to be so perfect,
it used to be so perfect
lovin' you (used to be so perfect)
So now I'm standing on the outside, I don't know where I'm going to
But I do know just one thing, and that is it's over with you
Blind Freddy knew that, a blind man could see
I was in love with you (in love with you)
But you weren't in love with me
Blind Freddy knew that, yes he knew it
A blind man could see, yes he could, yes he could
I was in love with you (in love with you)
But you weren't in love with me (you weren't in love with me)
My baby's not in love (you weren't in love with me)
Weren't in love, weren't in love (you weren't in love with me)
My baby's not in love (you weren't in love wi-ith me)
Weren't in love, weren't in love (you weren't in love with me)
Weren't in love, weren't in love (you weren't in love with me)
