@ALBUM: Travelogue By The Human League This lyric file includes all the bonus tracks that appear on the CD version of the album. @SONG: The Black Hit Of Space Been out all night, I needed a bite I thought I'd put a record on I reached for the one with the ultra-modern label And wondered where the light had gone It had a futuristic cover Lifted straight from Buck Rogers The record was so black it had to be a con The autochanger switched as I filled my sandwich And futuristic sounds warbled off and on Chorus : The Black Hit Of Space It's the one without a face It's the one that doesn't fit You can only see the flip The Black Hit Of Space Sucking in the human race How can it stay at the top When it's swallowed all the shops? As the song climbed the charts The others disappeared 'Til there was nothing but it left to buy It got to number one Then into minus figures Though nobody could understand why (Chorus) I couldn't stand this bland sound any more so I walked towards my deck to turn it off. All I could see was the B-side of the disc which had assumed a doughnut shape with the label on the outside rim. I reached for the arm which was less than one micron long but weighed more than Saturn and time stood still. I knew I had to escape but every time I tried to flee, the record was in front of me. The Black Hit Of Space Get James Burke on the case It's the hit that's never gone Time stops when you put it... @SONG: Only After Dark I feel my spirit fly Only after dark I kiss the world goodbye Only after dark Fights with the city lights Only after dark Run, I'd like to run away Only after dark Chorus : Won't you disappear into midnight with me? Why won't you come, why won't you come, why won't you come and fly with me? Sweet elocy (?) fades, we'll be our company Bring out the thumping beat (?) Only after dark Moon, sinful as can be Only after dark It's wrong to feel so free Only after dark Only you know it can be Only after dark (Chorus) @SONG: Life Kills When you fall into your seat You know you feel you might be dying As the breath rasps in and out Of your burning throat You can't control your lungs because you're so tired You're half awake with one arm in your coat Well thank god that there is someone there to drive you You know you couldn't make it on your own He helps you through the door You sit down on the floor And you're asleep before you are alone Chorus : Your life is like a schedule You run to meet the bills No one's awake to tell you Life kills (Chorus) For a while it seems exhaustion has subsided The day is over and the moon is high But your period of work is predecided Funny how the hours of freedom seem to fly Well thank god that there is someone there to drive you You know you couldn't make it on your own He helps you in the door You sit down as before Another shift to pay another loan (Repeat chorus four times) @SONG: Dreams Of Leaving Someone stopped the clock When we should have started early If we miss the morning meeting Our lives will be in danger Someone's trying to stop us There is someone in our party It is someone with a grudge And they won't let us reach the border Our lives are in his hands We pay with Krugerands The currency of pain to help Us leaving While back in our homeland The ones who make a stand Are taken from their homes and No-one hears of them again I felt I had to come here I thought things would be better The situation's changed But I find I'm still resented Someone wants my job It is someone in this building Someone's spreading rumours And I don't feel I can stay here I think I'm going north And now's the time to leave The people there they say Are good to strangers And if I do my best And try to settle in I'm sure I can be just like Someone's neighbour I'm sure I can be just like Someone's neighbour @SONG: Crow And A Baby A crow and a baby Had an affair The result was a landslide The result was a dare The result was a baby Who wanted it all Moved out of the doll's house Moved out of the hall With one wing on the town And a gleam in an eye of red Said "My father was a crow Now I want all fathers dead Find the fathers of this world Treat them as a fatal foe Put them in the deepest hole Then cover the pit with snow" Refrain : With one wing on the town And a gleam in an eye of red I'm just trying to tell you What you'll come up against If you venture from my side If you think you're so mature You will end up in a field You will be someone's manure Mushrooms growing from your back Feeding some damn carrion bird Do you want to contribute To the corruption of the world? (Refrain) A crow and a baby Had an affair My dream was the baby The crow was your hair Parts of me love parts of you That at least is obvious Give my baby back to me You must see it's only just (Repeat refrain three times) @SONG: The Touchables Speaking of which, what is your choice? Your conversation will suffice I feel the need - that's known to all Better use it up before the levels fall You can take me back to the primal drive You can carry on until we arrive Hypnotised inside Now I'm not young and you're not old I'd rather purchase than be sold Crazed friends so bold Chorus : It's not easy to conceal When you're so touchable People will hide indifference Just to be touchable They still emit split second screams When they are touchable Under the surface just for kicks Sincerely touchable You say it's OK, but what do I feel? Guilt, compassion, or Achilles Heel? Little feet march down grey matter hill Then panic occurs, no seeds to spill What's the matter now Please look up and speak Your spirit's wilting and your flesh is weak Eight days a week I can't imagine what'll happen now I wonder when and I wonder how The end will come It's not easy to conceal When you're so touchable People will hide indifference Just to be touchable (Chorus) The final answer to all our fears Abrupt conclusion to all our years Still touchable but no one hears They carry on hypnotised inside @SONG: 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 (repeat three times) @SONG: WXJL Tonight The way it was in the past A long, long time ago Before staff levels dropped They used to listen to the radio And listen to the DJs talk About the songs they didn't know As if it really mattered Chorus : Hit-pick or phone-in show I don't want you to go tonight Ten thousand watts of power News headlines on the hour tonight Our music beats the best You just don't need the rest tonight Once I couldn't care at all But I can feel the ratings fall tonight And 20 years ago No-one seemed to care The people must have known The DJ's role was only there To fill in space between the songs That talk of love and other things As if they didn't matter Automatic stations came And sent them all away And now I'm left alone I haven't got a word to say And you're the one who makes the choice To turn me on or turn me off But now it really matters (Chorus) Hit-pick or phone-in show I don't want you to go tonight Ten thousand watts of power News headlines on the hour tonight Our music beats the best You just don't need the rest tonight Ten thousand watts of power News headlines on the hour tonight @SONG: Marianne I take one look at you It leaves me breathless I see your dreams come true You're not so restless Or light, or bright Marianne One day I might not care What happened to me Your lack of sympathy fails to disturb me I've got a life of my own I remember the day I thought we couldn't lose Running round the garden in your mother's shoes Playing with your sisters I didn't see you were a grown up girl And bringing me tea But is it life in a grown up world On a cold autumn day Is it life, someone's wife When the car had broken down The best of my girls I didn't see you were a grown up girl Oh how I hate the celebration But you give it all away leaving me on my own But is it life in a grown up world I can't wait for the end of the celebration Is it life, someone's wife Add it up, all that's left is a space in a life That goes on as before One day I might not care What happens to me Your lack of sympathy fails to disturb me I've got a life of my own Add it up, all that's left is a space in a life That goes on as before Marianne Add it up, all that's left is a space in a life That goes on as before Marianne Add it up, All that's left is a space in a life That goes on as before Marianne Add it up, all that's left is a space in a life At the end of the world Marianne @SONG: Rock'N'Roll/Night Clubbing Rock'n'roll rock rock'n'roll Rock'n'roll rock Do you still recall in the juke box hall When the music played And the world span around to a brand new sound Of those far off days In their blue suede shoes they would scream and shout And they'd sing the blues, let it all hang out Chorus : Rock'n'roll rock'n'roll Rock'n'roll rock'n'roll Rock'n'roll rock'n'roll Rock'n'roll rock rock'n'roll Rock'n'roll rock Little Queenie bopped to the high school hop Dancing to the beat With her US male and her pony tail Well she looked so sweet Times are changing fast but we won't forget Though that age is past, we'll be rockin' yet (Chorus) Do you still recall in the juke box hall When the music played And the world span around to a brand new sound Of those far off days Times are changing fast but we won't forget Though that age is past, we'll be rockin' yet (Chorus) Rock'n'roll rock Night clubbing, we're night clubbing We're what's happening Night clubbing, we're night clubbing We're honest and chic We meet people, brand new people They're something to see When you're night clubbing We're night clubbing Oh, isn't it wild? Night clubbing, we're night clubbing We're walking through town Night clubbing, we're night clubbing We walk like a ghost We learn dances, brand new dances Like the nuclear bomb When we're night clubbing Bright, white clubbing Oh, isn't it wild? @SONG: Boys And Girls Boys and girls come out to play Playing till they're old and grey Time to leave the old school suit Grown ups can be real cute Do you think they're wiser than in the past? How long do you think it's gonna last? I don't have to prove to you Adults can be kidding too Chorus : Boys and girls I Love you dearly But I hate to Have you near me Boys and girls Boys and girls Boys and girls Boys and girls stay home today Think they're more mature that way Secret friends can soon be found Indiscretions underground Maybe growing up can seem more graceful If they make their style become more tasteful With your looks you could go far But better watch the calendar (Chorus) Boys and girls I Love you dearly But I hate to Have you near me (Chorus) @SONG: I Don't Depend On You Verse : The night So young You could lose You could gain Your temperature's rising Better pull in to the outside lane You always say you're not the jealous kind Then you tell all your friends That I've got one thing on my mind Chorus : I've played this scene before You had one foot in the door But there's always plenty more Don't try to use me I don't depend on you I've got my own friends too I'll never be your wife Don't try to use me I've played this scene before You had one foot in the door But there's always plenty more Don't try to use me Chorus 2 : It's cruel but it's true I don't depend on you It's cruel but it's true Go back to the end of the queue (Chorus) (Verse) (Chorus) (Chorus 2) (Chorus 2)
