Human League, The - All I Ever Wanted Lyrics

They aged well never knew they released this not heard it before thought it sounded 2000s can tell by the video

Ive been a fan of the league since 1981! They still sound as good now as back then!

Great track

Cool!! From the very beginning their music sounds up to date and cool!!
This song is similar to the works of Elegant machinery by the way))

Another terrific track made in the 90’s that feels and sounds so 80’s 👍✅

I rank this one right up there with their very best tracks of all time. I was obsessed with it when it came out and still play it often! Their label was having financial difficulty at the time and did not promote this single, and distribution was so poor, people that wanted it couldn’t find it. Shoulda been a big hit for sure.

Stunning to realize it's been about as long since the release of this song and album, as the release of Dare before it.

What a banger

The remarks in Wikipedia about this album are not kind, i don’t consider myself a wordsmith, but i am a musician, this album is catchy as hell, not to mention there are some complex harmonies. It’d be nice if some1 were to edit the Wikipedia text about Secrets.

It's a great album isn't it

Brilliant !! ....well passes for an 80’s song , that’s what makes HL so unique 👍👍👍

Such wonderful song !!!

Love the League!...And wish they'd come out with some more new music!

They're thinking about it but they are quite lazy unfortunately

Thank god for the reissue due in april 2018 with all the mixes on it

Forever! H...L...

Perfectos

I love most synth basses in this album !

por que una cancion tan chingona, y con excelente musica no tiene el exito que merece

Hola Jonathan, tu queja es legitima y es debido a que hoy en día la industria de la música responde a otros intereses. Qué bueno que aprecies la buena música!

"How does it feel, when you treat me like you do?"

the girls still look great!

this band being here makes the world a better place. Thanks

emile235 the human league here to save the world

Happy Birthday to The Human League, 35 this year!

One of their VERY BEST tracks. Do they ever disappoint? The greatest band of all! Lond live Phil, Susan and Joanne. You can do very little wrong. So many of their recent tracks have ALMOST been perfect. They just need that extra 1% to make them huge hits. Contemporary, uplifting, strong, vital........all these adjectives describe this song. It is amazing and should have been MASSIVE! Love them for all time! Bierney45 X

This tune shoulda been a hit. I only became aware of it after seeing them live, and then buying Secrets. No tour this Xmas, hope they do one next December

Amazing song I love it goin on my ipod

chorus would be better

very awesome indeed 8-)

i love how She Wants Revenge totally ripped them off

@panther0567 todays so-called tecnho poppy bands should bow their heads in their presence

good song trom the credo album, love the human league and have done for years, good to see there still going strong and making good songs!

@xXstorietimeXx you got that backwards ... this guy has been around since 1980

his voice sounds like that of the guy from she wants revenge

Great song, fantastic sound!!!

Top album. Loved all the tracks from it. And they still look so great.

Top album. Loved all the tracks from it.

Produced by Toy...and the League....Great Combination!!

Ah The Human League.......dodgy lyrics, sung like a wooden actor but good fun all the same.

@cianjg It was popular but the record company bombed about the time this was released so it never acheived its full potential. Apparently limited availablilty in the shops saw strong sales early in the initial week, but then it fell out of the charts due to lack of availablility.

Just saw them live about 3 hours ago - and this was on their playlist - So happy! :D

I still don't understand how this wasn't a lot more popular !

cianjg I remember going to but this the week it came out in two different hmvs and both said they had sold out but didn't know when they would get more in. I think the label went bust around the time the single or album came out. But yes it should've bee a top 20 hit at the very least, I remember reading lots of reviews for this and they were all 4 out of 5 or 5's and I remember one review saying this will be a top 10 on every chart. Sadly not but it was no. 27 in France

cianjg could be the best song ever but it's all about the high ups who decide it fits their agenda and fed to masses through advertisement and shit

i love this song good beat

I've loved this band since I discovered them in '82 and I've got most, if not all of their stuff. Great song, great band!

It was back then! Its a great song. Most of the songs back then were all te oression brought it out.

This colapsed due to the weak Label. Repromote and rerelease .
Check my clip of "sound of the crowd" when it first crashed the UK Charts.

Old skool Human League..nice. Great job, guys.

Sounds good!

@JezJacko.. Musically that would be a great idea. But most people dont even know there was Human League before the Dare album. This is why among hard core electronic music fans Human League is not given as much respect as Kraftwerk.. Some people would say the real Human League, after the split, has always been Heaven 17. In fact Oakey never performed live and couldn't play any instruments when the Human League (Heaven 17's Ware & Marsh) first hired him.

the only problem Phil had was he should have let the girls go an go back to the all male MK1 league - they as a whole would have been revered like kraftwerk (the girls, god love em, could always have come on for certain songs)

@zetsusama23 i see

@acrowwing and so do a lot of WONDERFUL underground techno bands. no disrespect, i mean mainstream, haha. i think my original argument got lost somehow, besides, i was saying that nine years ago wasn't ages ago, so, technically, there's no need to republish this song ALREADY; i was responding to boywondfw's comment, and someone else started arguing with me... so.

oh yeah 318 Louisiana repin

@zetsusama23 they may not be popular by mainstream terms today but they have a hardcore fanbase..

This song sounded great when he sang it live. I saw them in Anahiem, CA in 2003 and they were awesome! Met them afterwords and Phil was great! Super sweet and very cool with me while we chatted. And he looked just as great in person as he did in this video. I told him that too! :)

@zetsusama23 ok

@eletricmayham hm. that's not all that high to be totally recognized. but. okay, three-ish hits is alright. that's still not very popular, though. not now, anyways. i wouldn't say "popular still", those are all older songs. they were popular at one time, maybe, but not now, so don't go saying that they're still popular.

@eletricmayham thats all ive got

@zetsusama23 tell me when # 31 in the u.s charts

@zetsusama23 heart like a wheel reached # 32 in the u.s billboard hot 100

@eletricmayham ...that's ONE HIT. this wasn't a hit lol. not in the us anyways. so as far as you're telling me, and as far as i've ever been concerned, they're a one-hit wonder.

zetsusama23 in the US keep feeling fascination was top 10 and Human was also #1.

human did good in the charts

@zetsusama23 dont you want me topping the billboard hot 100 in the us

@eletricmayham yeah they actually are xD. in the states, anyways. you have some grammar problems, too. thanks for shutting the caps off, though.

(if you don't believe me about the one-hit wonder thing, show me their other songs that hit it to the top of the charts in the usa. like, i want proof.)

@zetsusama23 well there not a one hit wonder

@eletricmayham dude what's with all the caps? haha, are you trying to kid yourself? i mean, they've gotta be one of my top three favorite bands, but none of my friends- or their parents- have ever even heard of them. i'm fourteen. unless you live in the U.K. or something. then i can't really be sure of their popularity. i imagine it would be higher.

@zetsusama23 IM 15 AND THEY ARE POPULAR STILL

@eletricmayham OH MY GOD A WHOLE NINE YEARS!!! believe me, they haven't grown in popularity since 2001, as unfortunate as that is. that said, they're better known as an 80s group anyways, and for some reason, those songs don't seem ancient to anyone. 2001 WASN'T, in fact, ages ago. unless you're like, eight or something, i don't see any point to your argument that this song came out nine years ago- that's not forever.

@zetsusama23 9 YEARS AGO

@boywondfw what do you mean, "even today"? this song isn't ancient or anything, it came out in 2001...

OMG!When happened this?? What year?? Me encanta!!!!

a beautiful song

electro forever Arcadia,Louisiana

Apparently radio 1 refused to playlist this because Phil was too old and teenagers wouldnt relate to this.

I'm 16, I feel that this song does sound very 'retro' I cant 'relate' to it but that doesnt mean that its not awesome!
It could have at least become a dance/electro hit!

Wow! he is STILL "HOT" even after 20 or so years when I fell in love with him and his music in the 80's:)!!! LOVE "Human League"!!! XO

Fresh Music !!

Too right the charts system is rubbish just a 40yrs old music executives idea of what music schoolgirls will buy! sad really sad! the best sink and the crap rises to the top !

Annu mirabilis 2001: On the synth pop side, the legends release comeback albums (Depeche Mode, New Order and Human League). On the garage/punk side, amazing revivalist debuts (Strokes, White Stripes, BRMC). Together they set the stage for an exciting decade of indie, new pop and new wave revival!

@kittenkilla86

If Heaven 17 were never formed then the world would never of had THE best album "DARE"...

Octopus is also another GREAT Human League album from 1995 ...

a cracking tiune played loud

Phil knows the job
