Human League, The - Soundtrack To A Generation Lyrics






The smell of trees
Can only be that way
On a sunny day
Floating through the open window
To the cool inside
Where we lay side by side
How can anything we feel
Ever mean so much
As a summer love
How can anything we need
Ever get in touch
With the meaning of

A whole life waiting
Wishing suddenly
That it's gonna be the real thing
Or separating
Try your luck again
(It's just part of the adventure)

(Holy cow)
You do it to me now
The soundtrack to a generation
(Oh, wow)
You're getting to me now
The soundtrack to a generation

Another tune
Before the light has gone
And we'll be on our way
The sounds and smells
Will always linger on
They're in my heart today

We feel so lucky then
The world's a massive place
But we run into each other
Just one small happening
An accident of fate
Or the work of co-conspirators
But if we knew
What could it do to help us now

(Holy cow)
You do it to me now
The soundtrack to a generation
(Anyhow)
Just give it to me now
The soundtrack to a generation
(Oh, wow)
You really got me now
The soundtrack to a generation
(Holy cow)
You're getting to me now
The soundtrack to a generation

Years have gone on in between
But all I knew at seventeen
Is all I know now
Through times of joy and suffering
The music flavours everything
That's all I know now

(Holy cow)
You do it to me now
The soundtrack to a generation
(Oh, wow)
You really got me now
The soundtrack to a generation
(Anyhow)
Just give it to me now
The soundtrack to a generation

Just give it
You're getting
You do it
You really got me now
The soundtrack to a generation
(Oh, wow)
Just give it
You're getting
You do it
You really got me now
The soundtrack to a generation
(Oh, wow)
You really got me now
The soundtrack to a generation.

Human League, The Soundtrack To A Generation Comments
  1. F.... G....

    Hermosas las dos mujeres joanne y susan

    I think they needed to stick with martin rushent as their producer, he knew how to shape their distinctive sound. The best tracks on hysteria were the ones he produced, and I think he produced heart like a wheel, the single before this too. Without him their stuff sounded a little bland. I bought romantic and liked it but it wasn't going to gain them a new audience, it just lacked something.

  3. p.... d....

    rubbish

  4. S.... S....

    The Human League never change and they keep creating minor pop gems which get unfairly ignored. At least they don't care and keep ploughing on, producing great music

    S.... S....

    Sticky Substance well I hope that we’ll get another album, I adore them always will be my favourite band

  5. S.... A....

    BEST TRACK they have recorded..EVER!

    That's interesting you think so, what makes it the best for you?

    S.... W....

    @oh glubbits it has some vibe or energy that reminds of a musical number. At the time I was in a stage school on Saturdays (1997 / 8) and I could see it being performed as an end number. I hadn't listened to it since then and kept on meaning to.I still feel the same about it. This and Love Action (The FIRST track I played on local radio) are my favourite.

    S.... W....

    @Stevan Warburton nice, it's always cool to hear people's views and feelings on songs and artists, check out the parralox remix of this it's awesome, love the cat pic too 👍

    Steve Phillips . Yr so right m8. And I am a mega big Human League fan and I have met my idiols ie The Human League and 5times in Joanne Catheralls case and 4times in Susan Sulley's case. And I really feel that 1man in my heart and this track. should have got 2 number 1 4the Human League. And m8 I even think that Joanne Catherall has got some magic powers inside her 2wards me. And m8 Joanne Catherall is partly responsible 4the best night of my life so far. I.e. a free taxi from Brighton bound 4 Portsmouth where I live 4years ago ather I met up and chatted up Joanne Catherall and ather l gave Joanne loads of hand written love letters and all starting with 2Queen Joanne sweetheart on them ather Chess peaces and that I simply adore the Human League so much and 4ever. And m8 I will definitely be upset when the Human League call it a day and stop making gr8 music. And I really feel that the Human League should get a knighthood for all of their gr8 music. what do u think m8? from Paul Eyles from Portsmouth yr number 1fan 4ever Queen 's Joanne Catherall Sweetheart and Susan Sulley Sweetheart.
