And many fantasies were learned

We're taking the time machine back thirty years again...

In this week in 1983, with the summit of the charts dominated by that damascene conversion of Spandau Ballet from cool kids to dreadful crooners, True, and the reprehensible Words by FR David, and such horrors as Cliff Richard and Toto hovering round it looked like the UK was being invaded by MOR music.

Thank heavens for The Human League, who had evidently struggled to get a suitable album together to follow the success of their world-beating Dare, and had decided to release an EP instead. From it came this return to form - it's the fabulous (Keep Feeling) Fascination:

Human League - Fascination

If it seems a little time is needed
Decisions to be made
The good advice of friends unheeded
The best of plans mislaid

Just looking for a new direction
In an old familiar way
The forming of a new connection
To study or to play

And so the conversation turned
Until the sun went down
And many fantasies were learned
On that day

Keep feeling fascination
Passion burning
Love so strong
Keep feeling fascination
Looking learning
Moving on

Well the truth may need some
Re-arranging
Stories to be told
And plain to see the facts are changing
No meaning left to hold

And so the conversation turned
Until the sun went down
And many fantasies were learned
On that day

And so the conversation turned
Until the sun went down
And many fantasies were learned
On that day
