Lyrics The Human League

The Human League

Crow and a Baby

A crow and a baby

Had an affair

The result was a landslide

The result was a dare

The result was a baby

Who wanted it all

Moved out of the doll's house

Moved out of the hall

With one wing on the town and a gleam in an eye of red

Said "My father was a crow, now I want all fathers dead

Find the fathers of this world, treat them as a fatal foe

Put them in the deepest hole, then cover the pit with snow"

With one wing on the town

And a gleam in an eye of red

I'm just trying to tell you what you'll come up against

If you venture from my side, If you think you're so mature

You will end up in a field, you will be someone's manure

Mushrooms growing from your back

Feeding some damn carrion bird

Do you want to contribute

To the corruption of the world?

With one wing on the town

And a gleam in an eye of red

A crow and a baby

Had an affair

My dream was the baby

The crow was your hair

Parts of me love parts of you

That at least is obvious

Give my baby back to me

You must see it's only just

With one wing on the town

And a gleam in an eye of red

With one wing on the town

And a gleam in an eye of red

With one wing on the town

And a gleam in an eye of red
