Houseful Of Nothing Lyrics - Human League

Talking to your lover 

On a non existent phone 

Houseful of nothing 

The joyous conversation 

Of a creature quite alone 

Houseful of nothing 

The whir of passing traffic 

The sighing of the breeze 

Houseful of nothing 

The awareness of a culture 

That is fading by degrees 

Houseful of nothing

Songs You Love If You Love Nerds 

Listen To Sam Smith's Triumphant Return With "Too Good At Goodbyes" 

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

A hint of a shadow 

Or a picture by the door 

Houseful of nothing 

The creak of a staircase 

Or the flexing of the floor 

Houseful of nothing 

The light spreading even 

Neither glaring nor too dark 

Houseful of nothing 

All finished had blended 

Leaving surface with no mark 

Houseful of nothing 

One time in a lifetime 

Understand just what you own 

No-one owns the sunshine 

And possession is a stone 

Photos 

One time in a lifetime 

Try to glimpse just who you are 

All that learning, all those ages 

Have you really come so far? 

The traces of a perfume 

Half-remembered from the past 

Houseful of nothing 

The ringing of a catchphrase 

From a cherished telecast 

Houseful of nothing 

Nothing in the corner 

Nothing on the wall 

Houseful of nothing 

It makes you laugh to think 

That there were ever things at all 

Houseful of nothing 

One time in a lifetime 

Will you use the things you know 

Will you passing, make a difference 

Will you foster, will you sow? 

One time in a lifetime 

Make a list of all you own 

And when you are gone 

What will it do for you, baby? 

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey) 

You took my family 

Give it back 

(Give it back) 

You took the heart of me 

Give it back 

(Give it back) 

Wipe clean a memory 

Give it back 

(Give it back) 

You took my dignity 

(Give it back) 

Remember society 

Bring it back 

(Bring it back) 

Bring it back 

Sense of community 

Bring it back 

(Bring it back) 

Bring it back 

Lost opportunity 

Bring it back 

(Bring it back) 

Bring it back 

Mercy and charity 

Bring it back 

(Bring it back) 

One time in a lifetime 

Understand just what you own 

No-one owns the sunshine 

And possession is a stone 

One time 

(Remember society) 

In a lifetime 

(Bring it back) 

Try to glimpse just who you are 

All that learning 

(Sense of community) 

All those ages 

(Bring it back) 

Have you really come so far? 

Lost opportunity 

Bring it back 

Mercy and charity 

Bring it back 

One time in a lifetime 

Try to glimpse just who you are 

All that learning, all those ages 

Have you really come so far? 

Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it back 

Mercy and charity 

Bring it back 

Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it back
