Very Best Of The Human League lyrics

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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 home
One man in my bed
Oo la la la oo la la la

My faith is stronger than existence
Longer than time

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

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

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

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

I only knew you for a while
I never saw your smile
Till it was time to go
Time to go away (time to go away)

Sometimes its hard to recognise
Love comes as a surprise
And its too late
It's just too late to stay (too late to stay)

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