Someone stopped the clock
When we should have started early
If we miss the morning meeting
Our lives will be in danger
Someone's trying to stop us
There is someone in our party
It is someone with a grudge
And they won't let us reach the border
Our lives are in his hands
We pay with Krugerands
The currency of pain to help
Us leaving
While back in our homeland
The ones who make a stand
Are taken from their homes and
No-one hears of them again
I felt I had to come here
I thought things would be better
The situation's changed
But I find I'm still resented
Someone wants my job
It is someone in this building
Someone's spreading rumours
And I don't feel I can stay here
I think I'm going north
And now's the time to leave
The people there they say
Are good to strangers
And if I do my best
And try to settle in
I'm sure I can be just like
Someone's neighbour
I'm sure I can be just like
Someone's neighbour
The Human League sono un gruppo musicale britannico formatosi a Sheffield, in Inghilterra, nel 1977. Considerati pionieri del synth-pop, hanno raggiunto l'apice del successo all'inizio degli anni ottanta con album come "Dare" (1981), che ha venduto oltre 15 milioni di copie in tutto il mondo e include hit come "Don't You Want Me", "Love Action (I Believe In Love)" e "Human«. Il gruppo, originariamente composto da Philip Oakey, Martyn Ware e Ian Craig Marsh, ha subito diverse modifiche nel corso degli anni. Dopo un periodo di pausa negli anni '90, The Human League hanno continuato a registrare e esibirsi con successo fino ai giorni nostri. Il loro sound caratteristico combina melodie orecchiabili con sintetizzatori pulsanti e testi spesso introspettivi. Oltre a "Dare", altri album importanti includono "Travelogue" (1985) e "Secrets" (1990).
