Night people, night night people
Know night people, night night people
Know people know; the night people know
Night people, night night people
Night people, night night people
Night people, night night people
Night people, night night people
Know night people, night night people
Know people know, the night people know
Night people, night night people

There is a place ... the night people know
People know, the night people know
Night people, night night people
There is a place that only the night people go
People go, the night people go
Night people, night night people

Gather up your skirts and trousers
Put on your best frocks and blouses
Time to go out from your houses
Must we creep round like the mouses?
We are people not just creatures
We can rearrange our features
Think like children not like teachers
Laugh and let the spirit reach us

There is a place ... the night people know
People know, the night people know
Night people, night night people
There is a place that only the night people go
People go, the night people go
Night people, night night people

Leave your cornflakes in your freezers
Leave your chocolate and your cheeses
Give to Caesar what is Ceasar's
Give your soul what air it pleases
Hide away from daily rancour
Grab the cheer for which you hanker
Ours the tribe that will not fail you
Join us now, my friends, we hail you!

There is a place ... that only the night people know
People know, the night people know
Night people, night night people
Night people, night night people
Night people, night night people
Night people, night night people
Night people, night night people

Gentle lighting
Warm inviting
Friendly faces make it so exciting
Make it so exciting
So exciting

Night people know, the night people know
Night people, night night people
Night people know, the night people know
Night people, night night people
Night people know, the night people know (people)
Night people (people), night night people
(the night people know)
Night people (people), night night people

Get away, get away, get away, get away, I wanna know, I wanna go!
Get away, get away, get away, get away, I wanna know, I wanna go!
Get away, get away, get away, get away, I wanna know, I wanna go!
Get away, get away, get away, get away, I wanna know, I wanna go!

Night people, night night people
Night people, night night people
(the night people know)
Night people, night night people
Night people, night night people (people)
Night people, night night people
Night people, night night people
(the night people know)
Night people, night night people
Night people, night night people

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.
