The Black Hit Of Space Lyrics - Human League

Been out all night, I needed a bite, I thought I'd put a record on 

I reached for the one with the ultra-modern label, and wondered where the light had gone 

It had a futuristic cover, lifted straight from buck rogers 

The record was so black it had to be a con 

The autochanger switched as I filled my sandwich 

And futuristic sounds warbled off and on 

 

The black hit of space 

It's the one without a face 

It's the one that doesn't fit 

You can only see the flip 

The black hit of space 

Sucking in the human race 

How can it stay at the top 

When it's swallowed all the shops

As the song climbed the charts, the others disappeared 

Til there was nothing but it left to buy 

It got to number one, then into minus figures 

Though nobody could understand why 

 

The black hit of space 

It's the one without a face 

It's the one that doesn't fit 

You can only see the flip 

The black hit of space 

Sucking in the human race 

How can it stay at the top 

When it's swallowed all the shops 

 

I couldn't stand this bland sound any more so I walked towards my deck to turn it off 

All I could see was the b-side of the disc 

Which had assumed a doughnut shape with the label on the outside rim 

I reached for the arm which was less than one micron long 

But weighed more than Saturn and time stood still 

I knew I had to escape but every time I tried to flee, the record was in front of me

It's the hit that's never gone 

Time stops when you put it [on]
