BetrayedThe Human League

Released: May 7, 1984

Songwriter: Philip Oakey

Producer: Hugh Padgham

When all the money's gone
When all the boys move on
No star to wish upon
When every race is run

In the quiet of the morning
Lying in the morning sun
Ruins of another country
Day has just begun

Blown by the desert breeze
No memory of trees
No mercy from the sky
No avenue to try

In the quiet of the morning
Lying in the morning sun
Ruins of another country
Day has just begun

When all the money's gone
When all the boys move on
No star to wish upon
When every race is run

In the quiet of the morning
Lying in the morning sun
Ruins of another country
Day has just begun

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.
