Very Best Of The Human League

Human League Very Best Of The Human League Lyrics
1.Keep Feeling Fascination

If it seems a little time is needed
Decisions to be made
The good advice of friends unheeded
The best of plans mislaid
Just looking for a new direction
In an old familiar way
The forming of a new connection
To study or to play

And so the conversation turned
Until the sun went down
And many fantasies were learned
On that day

Keep feeling fascination
Passion burning
Love so strong
Keep feeling fascination
Looking learning
Moving on

Well the truth may need some
Re-arranging
Stories to be told
And plain to see the facts are changing
No meaning left to hold

And so the conversation turned
Until the sun went down
And many fantasies were learned
On that day

And so the conversation turned
Until the sun went down
And many fantasies were learned
On that day


2.Being Boiled

Listen to the voice of buddha
Saying stop your sericulture
Little people like your offspring
Boiled alive for some gods stocking
Buddha's watching, buddha's waiting

Just because the kid's an orphan
Is no excuse for thoughtless slaying
People don't forget this torture
Just because you call her mother
Doesn't mean that she's your better

Once more with the voice of buddha
He'll say carry on your slaughter
Who cares for the little children
You may slice with no conviction
Blind revenge on a blameless victim

Listen to the voice of buddha
Saying stop your sericulture
He'll say carry on your slaughter
Who cares for the little children
You may slice with no conviction
Blind revenge on a blameless victim

Listen to the voice of buddha
Listen to the voice of buddha
Listen to the voice of buddha


3.Dont You Want Me

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When i met you
I picked you out, i shook you up, and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now
And i can put you back down too

Don't, don't you want me?
You know i can't believe it when i hear that you won't see me
Don't, don't you want me?
You know i don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
It's much too late to find
You think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry

Don't you want me baby? don't you want me - oh
Don't you want me baby? don't you want me - oh

I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then i knew i'd find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you
But now i think it's time i lived my life on my own
I guess it's just what i must do

Don't you want me baby? don't you want me - oh
Don't you want me baby? don't you want me - oh

Don't you want me baby? don't you want me - oh
Don't you want me baby? don't you want me - oh

Don't you want me baby? don't you want me - oh
Don't you want me baby? don't you want me - oh

Don't you want me baby? don't you want me - oh
Don't you want me baby? don't you want me - oh

Don't you want me baby? don't you want me - oh
Don't you want me baby? don't you want me - oh


4.Heart Like A Wheel

Calling up the promised land. johnny seven's coming over
The sea. he's taking your time. when you want to be free.

Holding out a helping hand. are you ready for a real
Career? will you be so cool. when it's happening here?

It don't say nothing that i haven't heard. if what i hear is
True. you won't keep the law with a broken word. so what
Are you going to do?

Heart like a wheel. turning away from anything that's real.
Heart like a wheel. changing in time. beating colder steel.

Pass the message around the world. the medium is in
Retreat. the power is here. and packing some heat.

Sell your soul to a holy war. set the captive free. we make
No promises anymore. but it isn't fooling me

Heart like a wheel. turning away from anything that's real.
Heart like a wheel. changing in time beating colder steel.

You can't keep the wheels turning anymore. with anger,
Blood and fear. or make any friends with an m16. when
You blast your way through here.

Heart like a wheel. turning away from anything that's real.
Heart like a wheel. changing in time beating colder steel.

Heart like a wheel. turning away from anything that's real.
Heart like a wheel. changing in time beating colder steel.

Heart like a wheel. turning away from anything that's real.
Heart like a wheel. driving the world is going to be a steal.


5.Human

Come on, baby, dry your eyes
Wipe your tears
Never like to see you cry
Won't you please forgive me ?

I wouldn't ever try to hurt you
I just needed someone to hold me
To fill the void while you were gone
To fill this space of emptiness

I'm only human
Of flesh and blood i'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes

So many nights i longed to hold you
So many times i looked and saw your face
Nothing could change the way i feel
No-one else could ever take your place

I'm only human
Of flesh and blood i'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes

I am just a man

Please forgive me

The tears i cry aren't tears of pain
They're only to hide my guilt and shame
I forgive you now i ask the same of you
While we were apart i was human too

I'm only human
Of flesh and blood i'm made
I am just a man
Human
Born to make mistakes


6.Love Action(I Believe In Love)

When you're in love
You know you're in love
No matter what you try to do
You might as well resign yourself
To what you're going through
If you're a hard man or if you're a child
It still might get to you
Don't kid yourself you've seen it all before
A million mouths have said that too

I've had my hard times in the past
I've been a husband and a lover too
I've lain alone and cried at night
Over what love made me do
And the loved ones who let me down
And couldn't share my point of view
But this is philomena talking
I want to tell you
What i've found to be true

I love your love action
Lust's just a distraction
No talking, just looking
Watching your love action

I believe, i believe what the old man said
Though i know that there's no lord above
I believe in me, i believe in you
And you know i believe in love
I believe in truth though i lie a lot
I feel the pain from the push and shove
No matter what you put me through
I'll still believe in love
And i say

I love your love action
Lust's just a distraction
No talking, just looking
Watching your love action

I love your love action
Lust's just a distraction
No talking, just looking
Watching your love action

I love your love action
Lust's just a distraction
No talking - i'm just checking
To see if someone out there
Is really reading all this


7.Mirror Man

The water shines
A pebble skips across the face
A dozen times, then disappears
Not a trace left behind
The thrower turns and walks away
A change of mind
Another start a brand new day

You know i'll change
If change is what you require
Your every wish
Your every dream, hope, desire

Here comes the mirror man
Says he's a people fan
Here comes the mirror man

And if it seems i'm not the one you used to know
Our little friendship left behind not long ago
Don't feel too hurt
As distance heals the strongest pain
Things are much better now
And just a nagging doubt remains

You know i'll change
If change is what you require
Your every wish
Your every dream, hope, desire

Here comes the mirror man
Says he's a people fan
Here comes the mirror man

Here comes the mirror man
Says he's a people fan
Here comes the mirror man


8.One Man In My Heart

When you ask me do i mean it?
You have to know
You are the only one
You ask me if it is forever
How can i show?
There's no comparison

Beyond your doubt
Beyond devout
Beyond the stars tonight

One man in my heart
One man in my head
Oo la la la oo la la la
One man in my house
One man in my bed
Oo la la la oo la la la

My faith is stronger than existence
Longer than time
More fiery than the sun
Within a universe exploding
Though we are mist
Among oblivion

Or should i lie?
So you can cry
In your sleep tonight

Your clumsy grace
I love your face
And when we meet
Oo oo oo la la la
Your kiss so sweet
The things we choose
The things we choose
The life we use
The life we use
The things you say
All the things you say
The need to stay
And the need to stay

One man in my heart
One man in my head
Oo la la la oo la la la
One man in my heart
One man in my house
One man in my bed
Oo la la la oo la la la
I've got one man one man
One man in my...


9.Stay With Me Tonight

Baby baby baby got to say what's on my mind
Tomorrow you are leaving and i will be left behind
Nothing only changing you're doing what you got to do
One moment between us
One moment to cling to you

Let the darkness fall
Woah
Hear your body call
(hear your body call)

Let the hours crawl
Woah
You can have it all
(hear your body call)

Won't you stay with me tonight
Won't you stay with me tonight

Baby baby baby all the lights are going on
(you just come in closer now just come in closer)

We can can be together only till the night has gone
(we should be together for the final time for ever)

Somewhere in the future will you smile when you think of me
(somewhere in the future some for the future)

Somewhere in your heart will you hold a tender memory
(some for the future always for the future)

Let the darkness fall
Woah
Hear your body call
(hear your body call)

Let the hours crawl
Woah
You can have it all
(hear your body call)

Won't you stay with me tonight
Won't you stay with me tonight
Won't you stay with me tonight
Won't you stay with me tonight
Tonight

Won't you stay with me tonight
Won't you stay with me tonight
Tonight

Won't you stay with me tonight
Tonight

Woah
So let the darkness fall
Woah
Hear your body call
Let the hours crawl
Woah
You can have it all

Let the darkness fall
Woah
Hear your body call
Let the hours craw


10.Tell Me When

Tell me when
Will i?
Tell me when
Will i?
Tell me when
Will i see you again?
Tell me when

Kelly took a lifetime
Searching for the bottom line
I wasn't into searching
'cause i was doing fine
I wasn't into fighting, chasing,
Sweating, slaving, fretting, racing
Any waste of effort
Isn't part of my design
Billy was an inspiration,
Positive and kind
Until he let confusion
Overcome his youthful mind
Common sense dictated
I could never be so blind
And then
Then i see you

Tell me when
Will i see you again?
Tell me when
Will i see you again?
Tell me when
Will i see you again?
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Happenstance an episode unplanned,
Alone in time
Coincidence, the second chance
Re-sounding like a rhyme
How paths may cross against the odds
To wreck the plans you made
Among the crowd a face that smiles
To melt your masquerade
If only i could see you
Says the stranger deep inside
And lets you know that when you were
So sure you really lied
If only i could see you
Says the voice within your brain
And quietly, insistently
It says it once again
And then, i really need to know

It wouldn't seem so lonely
If only i could see you
Baby, you can be free
If only i could see you
You'll never have to doubt me
If only i could see you
Baby, you could free me
If only i could see you
If only i could see you

Tell me when
Tell me when
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Tell me when
Will i see you again?
Will i see you again?
Will i see you again?
Will i see you again?

Then
I really need to know

If only if only if only i could see you
If only i could see you
If only if only if only i could see you
Will i see you again?
If only if only if only i could see you
Will i see you again?
Will i see you again?
If only if only if only i could see you
Will i see you again?
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

If only if only if only i could see you
Tell me when
Will i see you again?
Tell me when
Will i see you again?
If only if only if only i could see you
Tell me when
Will i see you again?

If only if only if only i could see you
If only if only if only i could see you
If only if only if only i could see you


11.The Lebanon

She dreams of nineteen sixty-nine
Before the soldiers came
The life was cheap on bread and wine
And sharing meant no shame
She is awakened by the screams
Of rockets flying from nearby
And scared she clings onto her dreams
To beat the fear that she might die

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the lebanon
The lebanon

Before he leaves the camp he stops
He scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is where the snipers sometimes hide
He left his home the week before
He thought he'd be like the police
But now he finds he is at war
'weren't we supposed to keep the peace'

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the lebanon
The lebanon
The lebanon
From the lebanon

I must be dreaming
It can't be true
I must be dreaming
It can't be true

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone?
From the lebanon
The lebanon
The lebanon
From the lebanon


12.The World Tonight

Home again, our day is over
Now it's time to close the door
Turning on all over england
You and i and millions more
All in all it's getting stranger
Can you see an end in sight
Calling all the other nations
Bring alive the world tonight

And if we never understand
Then every feeling second hand
Is new
And everything we ever know
Is just the background of a show
For you

Faraway a living legend
Wears a crown in no man's land
There's a war that's never over
All deny their heavy hand
Will it all be coming closer
If and how we're still alright
See it all before tomorrow
Bring alive the world tonight

And if we never understand
Then every feeling second hand
Is new
And everything we ever know
Is just the background of a show
For you


13.Together In Electric Dreams

Giorgio moroder / phil oakey

I only knew you for a while
I never saw your smile
'til it was time to go
Time to go away (time to go away)
Sometimes it's hard to recognise
Love comes as a surprise
And it's too late
It's just too late to stay
Too late to stay

We'll always be together
However far it seems
(love never ends)
We'll always be together
Together in electric dreams

Because the friendship that you gave
Has taught me to be brave
No matter where i go i'll never find a better prize
(find a better prize)
Though youre miles and miles away
I see you every day i don't have to try
I just close my eyes, i close my eyes

We'll always be together
However far it seems
(love never ends)
We'll always be together
Together in electric dreams
