This song's themed around Andy Partridge's former phobia of the stars (which he had as a kid,) and also his early infatuation of comic books. It's a kid's (Andy's) early worry of alien invaders, and attempts and wonders about how to defend himself.
The first verse is just worry about the stars and alien invaders.
The chorus is a bit of a realization that this fear is effecting him negatively, and him (probably) wondering how to communicate gently to the aliens, like to say "I'm not an enemy."
The second verse is just a kid's idea of being ready to defend yourself because you've read comic books, so "you've read the best of the best" - or at least, as far as you can imagine.
