The platters that transcend their periods are not really the bandwagon chasers, they set the pace. Yes, these pioneering records have their own set of weirdness, they're not that dilluted and Dare by The Human League shows that succinctly. Sure, we all talk about their biggest hits from the album, yet the disc contains many dark ditties, because they didn't escape their past as an alternative synthpop group, they merely modified that for a better acceptance in the pop context. Mind you, they didn't sell out, they cashed in to see what they could do. Of course, that is one of the reasons we still listen to Dare – this is an LP of those that were familiar with the darkness, yet they didn't let the latter intrude them from dancing. There's a funny yin and yang at play in here, I guess.

Lyrics:
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up
And turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too.
Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
It's much too late to find
When you think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then I knew I'd find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good at times
I still love you
But now I think it's time I lived my life on my own
I guess it's just what I must do
Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
It's much too late find
When you think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh
Songwriter:
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!

Genesis' commercial rebrand LP contains a name we met before. He should've been understood as one of the most successful producers of the 80's. He is Hugh Padgham, who became noticeable for his work with Genesis and Phil Collins. I assume these collaborations might be the reasons many called him during the 80's, including The Human League. The latter struggled to follow up their Dare, since they only came up with Hysteria. However, the disc does contain the glimpses of their most interesting selves as we can hear on the tune on the link. I consider the piece to be one of the better 80's let's-make-a-political-statement songs. While the composition does feel a bit naff lyrically, the musical accompaniment projects an incredible sense of urgency. Sadly, few saw that like this.
