The Word Before Last Lyrics - Human League

"You will notice that very appropriately I'm left-handed" 

This man I saw 

Was happy then 

And then loved 

And on TV well 

But now he cried 

And he cried 

And of course he had to want to die 

But he watched him 

Which made it worse 

Of course 

Of course 

Of course 

Of course 

You understand 

He didn't know 

That it was someone else 

Who looked the same 

A similar voice taken 

The clothes changed 

But the face retained 

Surrounded by 

Old imagery 

His brain bypassed 

The eternal moment laid bare 

No time to heal 

Continual pain 

Continual pain 

Continual pain 

Continual pain 

I spent a bad day yesterday 

With a man and a picture of himself 

The tape was running and the TV turned 

"And described Mrs Thatcher's first three months in power as disastrous"
