Into the NightThe Human League

Do you turn left
Do you turn right
Back to your bed
Or into the night

Wake me shake me just let me know
Take me make me hungry to go
Oh you defiant ones
You startled simians
Where would you go
If you were free

Our futures waiting there
The futures everywhere
Beyond the door if you could see

Do you turn left
Do you turn right
Back to your bed
Or into the night

Do you walk on
Do you stay back
Do you defend or do you attack

Wake me shake me just let me know
Take me make me hungry to go
Darling bohemians
With less chameleons
Too chic to dare to disagree

Empty rebellions
From charming helions
Delicious fate, your guarantee

Do you turn left
Do you turn right
Back to your bed
Or into the night

Wake me shake me just let me know
Take me make me hungry to go
Do you walk on
Do you stay back
Do you defend or do you attack

The Human League

The Human League are a synth pop band from Sheffield, England, formed in 1977. They generated a string of synthesizer-backed dance pop hits throughout the 80s. David Bowie dubbed the group “the sound of the future” in 1981.

The band is best known for its third studio album released in 1981, Dare! The fourth single from Dare, “Don’t You Want Me,” catapulted to #1 in the UK and US.

Phil Oakey is the only core member of the group. The band’s first incarnation was as an arty all-male synthesizer group, composed of Oakey, Martyn Ware, and Ian Craig Marsh. In the 1980s, Ware and Marsh left the group after continued conflicts with Oakey—they went on to form Heaven 17.
