Honey, Honey Lyrics (Mamma Mia!)

Honey, Honey, how he thrills me, a-ha, Honey, Honey.
Honey, Honey, nearly kills me, a-ha, Honey, Honey.
I've heard about him before,
I wanted to know some more.
And now I know what they mean, he's a love machine.
Oh, he makes me dizzy.

Ali: A love machine?

Sophie: That's nothing!

Honey, Honey, let me feel it, a-ha, Honey, Honey.
Honey, Honey, don't conceal it, a-ha, Honey, Honey.
The way that you kiss goodnight,
(The way that you hold me tight)
I feel like I wanna sing when you do your thing!

Honey, Honey, touch me, baby, a-ha, Honey, Honey.
Honey, Honey, hold me, baby, a-ha, Honey, Honey.
You look like a movie star,
But I know just who you are.
And, honey, to say the least,
You're a doggone beast!

Under Attack Lyrics

Aldous Huxley's anti-utopian remarks in the late 1920s stemmed from a profound aversion to the utopian speculations he encountered by 1930. Many of these, influenced by H. G. Wells and ultimately by Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis (1627), were distinctly scientific in nature. Huxley observed that those who envisioned a utopian future ‘invoke not the god from the machine, but the machine itself. [...] Thus although in one sense Huxley’s novels and non-fiction prose prior to 1932 seemed to indicate that he would never stoop to utopian themes, in another they made Brave New World inevitable.
