@ALBUM: Reproduction By The Human League This lyric file includes the lyrics from the bonus tracks on the CD version of the album @SONG: Almost Medieval There's something in your soul that makes me feel so old In fact I think I've died about six hundred times There's less of me now and more of me then I'm moving back to the age of men Jump off the tarmac there's no stagecoach speed limit Outside the office hangs the man on the gibbet Soft lenses Grow to glasses Small world Dimly seen through cataracts Your program Newspaper So they say Rumour spread by word of mouth Jump onto the escalator Press the button on the lift Raise the dust on old stair carpets Endless treads like waves of regret Now it seems I'm going madder Falling off this rotting ladder Soft lenses Grow to glasses Small world Dimly seen through cataracts Jump onto the escalator Press the button on the lift Raise the dust on old stair carpets Endless treads like waves of regret Now it seems I'm going madder Falling off this rotting ladder Your program Newspaper So they say Rumour spread by word of mouth Jump onto the escalator Press the button on the lift Raise the dust on old stair carpets Endless treads like waves of regret Now it seems I'm going madder Falling through this rotting ladder There's something in your soul that makes me feel so old In fact I think I've died about six hundred times There's less of me now and more of me then I'm moving back to the age of men Jump off the tarmac there's no stagecoach speed limit Outside the office hangs the man on the gibbet Jump off the tarmac there's no stagecoach speed limit Outside the office swings the man on the gibbet @SONG: Circus Of Death "In just a few moments we're off to Hawaii to join Steve McGarrett and the team for tonight's adventure" Nine o'clock flight from Hawaii The Trident is just touching down We're waiting here on the tarmac McGarrett is wearing a frown He's here to help with a problem A blood-spattered curse on our land Please cast your eye over this map, sir This business is quite out of hand The circus of death is approaching Its pathway is painted in red Before it the frightened and helpless Behind it a trail of the dead The narcotic that forges their union Is a substance known only to one To the clown it is known as Dominion It's a secret that he'll give to none The drug which gives the clown power Means the circus can never be stopped And his dream can go on unhindered Till the last human being has dropped Spare me and my family I've done you no wrong Go away, please let us be I've known you for too long @SONG: The Path Of Least Resistance Faced with the choice What would you say? The path of least resistance It seems the only way But can we look a little further? Too little far I think Self-belief's the answer And not another drink The safe method, the only way You rationalise your course Stay part of the crowd And never find the source Feel wanted, feel numb Just stay as you are The truth is - comfort kills And you don't need that car So sad, the early grave When all the fun's for free Start digging the early grave And keep it warm for me Faced with the choice What would you say? The path of least resistance It seems the only way But let's look a little further Too little far, I think Self-belief's the answer And not another drink The safe method, the only way You rationalise your course Stay a part of the crowd And never find the source Feel wanted, feel numb Just stay as you are The truth is, comfort kills And you don't need that car @SONG: Blind Youth No future they say But must it be that way? Now is calling The city is human Chorus : Blind youth take hope You're no Joe Soap Your time is due Big fun come soon We've had it easy, we should be glad High-rise living's not so bad (Chorus) Dehumanisation Is such a big word It's been around since Richard The Third Dehumanisation It's easy to say But if you're not a hermit You know the city's OK No future they say But must it be that way Now is calling The city is human (Repeat chorus twice) We've had it easy, we should be glad High-rise living's not so bad (Repeat chorus three times) @SONG: The Word Before Last "You will notice that very appropriately I'm left-handed" This man I saw Was happy then And then loved And on TV well But now he cried And he cried And of course he had to want to die But he watched him Which made it worse Of course Of course Of course Of course You understand He didn't know That it was someone else Who looked the same A similar voice taken The clothes changed But the face retained Surrounded by Old imagery His brain bypassed The eternal moment laid bare No time to heal Continual pain Continual pain Continual pain Continual pain I spent a bad day yesterday With a man and a picture of himself The tape was running and the TV turned "And described Mrs Thatcher's first three months in power as disastrous" @SONG: Empire State Human Since I was very young I've realised I never wanted to be human size So I avoid the crowds and traffic jams They just remind me of how small I am Because of this longing in my heart I'm going to start the growing art I'm going to grow now and never stop Think like a mountain, grow to the top Chorus : Tall, tall, tall, I want to be tall, tall, tall As big as a wall, wall, wall, as big as a wall, wall, wall And if I'm not tall, tall, tall, then I will crawl, crawl, crawl Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall Tall, tall, tall, I want to be tall, tall, tall As big as a wall, wall, wall, as big as a wall, wall, wall And if I'm not tall, tall, tall, then I will crawl, crawl, crawl Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall With concentration My size increased And now I'm fourteen stories high At least Empire State Human Just a born kid I'll go to Egypt to be The pyramids (Chorus) over :- Refrain 1 : Brick by brick Stone by stone Growing till he's fully grown Brick by brick Stone by stone Growing till he's fully grown Refrain 2 : Fetch more water Fetch more sand Biggest person in the land Fetch more water Fetch more sand Biggest person in the land (Refrain 1) (Chorus) over :- (Refrain 2) (Refrain 1) (Refrain 2) @SONG: Morale...You've Lost That Loving Feeling Don't talk Close the door You've been here before Your shape dim I'm an old man now The air's thin The walls very damp now And if I don't go I'll always be stuck here in this poor little room With a view of the corner I don't forget Though I've grown weak now Experience is useless Unless you can learn And I've never met anyone Who used their knowledge To avoid those mistakes made again and again And if I don't go I'll always be stuck here in this poor little room With a view of the corner You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips You're trying hard not to show it (baby) But baby, baby I know it Chorus : You've lost that loving feeling Woah, that loving feeling You've lost that loving feeling Now it's gone, gone, gone Woa-woah Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you And girl you're starting to criticise little things I do It makes me just feel like crying (baby) 'Cause, baby, something beautiful's dying (Chorus) Baby, baby, I'd get down on my knees for you If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah We had a love, a love, a love you don't find every day So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away Bring back that loving feeling Woah, that loving feeling Bring back that loving feeling Now it's gone, gone, gone And I can't go on Baby (baby), Baby (baby) I want you please (woooo) Please (woooo) I need your love (i need your love) I need your love (i need your love) Now it bring it on back (bring it on back) Bring it on back now (bring it on back now) Now bring it on back @SONG: Austerity/Girl One (medley) In the town The start of day The father thinks in sadness On why his daughters went away On youth and other madness I know we don't choose who we love And malice is so human When your principle's no good It's time to find a new one I was brought up to believe That to avoid disaster In life as in your dreams You've got to be the monster When you've done your very best When things turn out unpleasant When the best of men take bribes Isn't it the fool who doesn't? In the town By the house The journalist is waiting And near this place There is a space A subject contemplating You've got your keys to get back in You've washed your face so you can smile You've got your pockets full of lending cash Your ticket to the ladies mile You brush away a flake of zinc Advance toward the street outside You close your mind so you can't think The hide, the ride, the tide But the scenes come rushing in Like eels into your net And it's just like Joseph said Another walk you can't forget But you push into the bleak Where all the women walk in fear Another three-word phrase The near, the clear, the dear You're a lonely little girl Who just wants to please her dad So you thought you'd be a nurse Just like your mother had But you make the patients worse And the doctors know you're bad (Better get back to the oracle) The oracle in this case Is a message on your phone It says where you go Gravity has gone You know this is true But you want to speak of love Prediction and ambiguity Go hand in glove The oracle in this case Is a face on your wall It says where you go People will fall And near this place There is a space A subject contemplating And in the town The sun goes down No-one investigating @SONG: Zero As A Limit Take the lovebird Kiss the stranger Leave the trailer Take the car Feel the sound rushing over you QED See my finger The way it points you Follow blindly Into the road Feel the sound rushing over you QED See the stranger Getting nearer Iron teardrop Collision course Feel the sound rushing over you QED See the blood now Overflowing No more compression Compression done Feel the sound rushing over you QED I saw it happen You saw it happen We saw it happen It can't be true The stranger crashing into you I saw it happen You saw it happen We saw it happen It can't be true (Repeat four times) The stranger crashing into you (Repeat ten times) Into you @SONG: Being Boiled (Fast Version) OK, ready. Let's do it Listen to the voice of Buddha Saying stop your sericulture Little people like your offspring Boiled alive for some god's stocking Buddha's watching, Buddha's waiting Just because the kid's an orphan Is no excuse for thoughtless slaying Children 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 @SONG: Circus Of Death (Fast Version) This is a song called The Circus Of Death. It tells the true story of a circus we met. The first two verses concern the actual arrival at Heathrow Airport of Commissioner Steve McGarrett. The third emotionally describes a map showing the range of the circus. The fourth and fifth were extracted from an article in the Guardian of March the 19th, 1962. The last is a short wave radio message from the last man on Earth. Nine o'clock flight from Hawaii The Trident is just touching down We're waiting here on the tarmac McGarrett is wearing a frown He's here to help with a problem A blood-spattered curse on our land Please cast your eye over this map, sir This business is quite out of hand The circus of death is approaching Its pathway is painted in red Before it the frightened and helpless Behind it a trail of the dead The narcotic that forges their union Is a substance known only to one To the clown it is known as Dominion It's a secret that he'll give to none The drug which gives the clown power Means the circus can never be stopped And his dream can go on unhindered 'Til the last human being has dropped Spare me and my family I've done you no wrong Go away, please let us be I've known you for too long
