And they don't come any closer. And they don't come
Anyway

On the rebound on the rebound on the rebound on the
Rebound on the rebound on the rebound on the rebound
On The rebound on the rebound on the rebound on the
Rebound On the rebound on the rebound on the rebound on
The Rebound on the rebound

The chronicle hasn't changed for fifteen years. The
Apathetic outnumber volunteers. The grime on buildings is
Just a memory. A shining face on the old academy

Have a lovely day. Aftermath okay. Have a lovely day. Wipe
Your tears away

The gaze of laughter, an echo or a scream. The
Reinforcement of someone else's theme. Turn and walk
Without ever saying no. Light and dark in an even ratio

Have a lovely day. Aftermath okay. Have a lovely day. Wipe
Your tears away

On the rebound on the rebound on the rebound on the
Rebound on the rebound on the rebound on the rebound
On The rebound

And they don't come any closer. And they don't come
Anyway

On the rebound on the rebound on the rebound on the
Rebound on the rebound on the rebound on the rebound
On The rebound on the rebound on the rebound on the
Rebound On the rebound on the rebound on the rebound on
The Rebound on the rebound

On the rebound on the rebound on the rebound on the
Rebound on the rebound on the rebound on the rebound
On The rebound on the rebound on the rebound on the
Rebound On the rebound on the rebound on the rebound on
The Rebound on the rebound

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.
