Human League - Dreams Of Leaving lyrics

Someone stopped the clock when we should have started early<br>If we miss the morning meeting our lives will be in danger<br>Someone's trying to stop us, there is someone in our party<br>It is someone with a grudge and they won't let us reach the border<br><br>Our lives are in his hands, we pay with krugerands<br>The currency of pain to help us leaving<br>While back in our homeland the ones who make a stand<br>Are taken from their homes and no one hears of them again<br><br>I felt I had to come here, I thought things would be better<br>The situation's changed but I find I'm still resented<br>Someone wants my job it is someone in this building<br>Someone's spreading rumours and I don't feel I can stay here<br><br>I think I'm going north and now's the time to leave<br>The people there they say are good to strangers<br>And if I do my best and try to settle in<br>I'm sure I can be just like someone's neighbour<br><br>I'm sure I can be just like someone's neighbour
