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

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.
