Tears For Fears Gold Lyrics
1.Mad World

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tommorow, no tommorow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Mad World
Mad World
Mad World

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Mad World
Enlarging your world
Mad World


2.Pale Shelter

How can I be sure ?
When your intrusion is my illusion
How can I be sure
When all the time you changed my mind
I asked for more and more
How can I be sure

When you don't give me love
You gave me Pale shelter
You don't give me love
You give me cold hands
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I want to be is
Completely in command

How can I be sure
For all you say you keep me waiting
How can I be sure
When all you do is see me through
I asked for more and more
How can I be sure

I've been here before
There is no why, no need to try
I thought you had it all
I'm calling you, I'm calling you
I ask for more and more
How can I be sure


3.Change

You walked in to the room
I just had to laugh
The face you wore was cool
You were a photograph
When it's all too late
It's all too late

I did not have the time
I did not have the nerve
To ask you how you feel
Is this what you deserve
When it's all too late
It's all too late

Change
You can change
And something on your mind
Became a point of view
You lost your honesty
I lost the life in you
When it's all too late
It's all too late
We walk and talk in time
I walk and talk in two
Where does the end of me
Become the start of you
When it's all too late
It's all too late

What has happened to
The friend that I once knew
Has he gone away


4.The Way You Are

Going far, Getting nowhere
Going far, The way you are

Going far, Getting nowhere
Going far, The way you are

Going far, Getting nowhere
The way you are

Going far, Getting nowhere
The way you are

These fingers aren't my fingers
These hands are not my hands
No one sees and no one cares What gets broken
Not for rhyme and not for reason
What gets broken
What gets broken

Going far, Getting nowhere
Going far, The way you are

Going far, Getting nowhere
Going far, The way you are

Going far, Getting nowhere
The way you are

Going far, Getting nowhere
The way you are

In the river my machinery
Slows to a heartbeat
Echoing ghost just laid by
Those who whistle while they work
Out of time and out of season
What gets broken

Going far, Getting nowhere
Going far, The way you are

Going far, Getting nowhere
Going far, The way you are

Going far, Getting nowhere
The way you are

Going far, Getting nowhere
The way you are


5.Shout

Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are things I can do without
Come On
I'm talking to you
Come on

In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy

Shout

They gave you life
And in return you gave them them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale

Shout

And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart

Shout


6.Everybody Wants To Rule The World

Welcome to your life.
There's no turning back.
Even while we sleep.
We will find you
Acting out your best behavior
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Everybody Wants to Rule the World.

It's my own design
It's my own remorse.
Help me to decide
Help me make the most of freedom
And our pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever.
Everybody Wants to Rule the World.

There's a room where the light won't find you,
Holding hands while The Walls come tumbling down.
When they do, I'll be right behind you.
So glad, we've almost made it;
So sad, they had to take it.
Everybody Wants to Rule the World.

I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world

Say that you'll never never never need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world

All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world


7.Mother's Talk(Us Remix)

My features form with a change in the weather
Weekend
We can work it out
My features form with a change in the weather
Weekend
We can work it out
When the wind blows
When the mothers talk
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the mothers talk
When the wind blows
We can work it out

It's not that you're not good enough
It's just that we can make you better
Given that you pay the price
We can keep you young and tender
Following in the footsteps of a funeral pyre
You were paid not listen now your house is on fire

Wake me up when things get started
When everything starts to happen

My features form with a change in the weather

Some of us horrified
Others never talk about it
But when the weather starts to burn
Then you'll know that you're in trouble
Following in the footsteps of a soldier girl
It is time to put your clothes on and to face the world

Don't you feel your luck is changing
When everything starts to happen
Put your head right next to my heart
The beat of the drum is the fear of the dark

My features form with a change in the weather


8.Head Over Heels

I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Won't escape my attention
You keep your distance with a system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration could I need you this much
Oh, you're wasting my time
You're just wasting time

Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out till I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away

I made a fire and watching burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No no no have you no ambition
My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh I feel so...

Something happens and I'm head over heels

And this my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover


9.Woman In Chains

You better love lovin' and you'd better behave.
You better love lovin' and you'd better behave.
Woman in Chains.
Woman in Chains.

Calls her man the great white hope,
Says she's fine say's she'll always cope.
Ohh, Woman in Chains.
Woman in Chains.

Well, I feel lying and waiting is a poor man's deal,
(A poor man's deal)
And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel.
(Your eyes of steel)
Well it's a world gone crazy keeps a woman in chains,

Woman in Chains,
Woman in Chains,

Trades her soul as skin an bones
You'd better love lovin' and you'r better behave
Sells the only thing she owns.
You'd better love lovin' and you'd better behave

Woman in Chains
Woman in Chains

Made of stone
Made of stone
Ah, la la la
La la la la la la, ohhh.

Well, I feel deep in your heart there are words time can't heal,
(That time can't heal)
And I feel, somebody somewhere is trying to breath,
Well you know what I mean.
It's a world gone crazy keeps a woman in chains.

It's under my skin but out of my hands.
I'll tear it apart but I won't understand.
Will not except the greatness of man.
World gone crazy keeps a woman in chains,
Gone crazy, keeps a woman in chains

So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her...
The sun and the moon
Will never end.
So free her
So free her
So free her
So free her
The sun and the moon
Will never end.


10.Sowing The Seeds Of Love

High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common
man
And the lovetrain rides from coast to coast
D.J.'s the man we love the most
Could you be, could you be squeaky clean
And smash any hope of democracry ?
As the headline says you're free to choose
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues

And anything is possible when you're Sowing the Seeds of Love
Anything is possible - Sowing the Seeds of Love

I spy tears in thier eyes
They look to the skies for some kind of divine intervention
Food goes to waste !
So nice to eat, so nice to taste
Politician Grannie with your high ideals
Have you no idea how the Majority feels ?
So without love and a promise land
We're fools to the rules of a Goverment plan
Kick out the style ! Bring back the jam !

Anything...
Sowing the Seeds
The birds and the bees
My girlfriend and me in love

Feel the pain
Talk about it
If you're a worried man - then shout about it
Open hearts - feel about it
Open minds - think about it
Everyone - read about it
Everyone - scream about it !
Everyone
Everyone - read about it, read about it
Read in the books in the crannies and the nooks there are books
to read
Chorus !

(Mr. England Sowing the Seeds of Love)

Time to eat all your words
Swallow your pride
Open your eyes

High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common
man
And the lovetrain rides from coast to coast
Every minute of every hour - ' I Love a Sunflower '
And I believe in lovepower, Love power, LOVEPOWER !!!

Sowing the Seeds
An end to need
And the Politics of Greed
With love


11.Advice For The Young At Heart

Advice for the young at heart
Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work ?

Too many people living in a secret world
While they play mothers and fathers
We play little boys and girls
When we gonna make it work ?
I could be happy
I could be quite naive
It's only me and my shadows
Happy in our make believe
Soon...

And with the hounds at bay
I'll call your bluff
Cos it would be okay
To walk on tiptoes everyday

And when I think of you and all the love that's due
I'll make a promise, I'll make a stand
Cos to these big brown eyes, this comes as no surprise
We've got the whole wide world in our hands

Advice for the young at heart
Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work ?

Love is promise
Love is a souvenir
Once given
Never forgotten, never let it disappear
This could be our last chance
When we gonna make it work ?
Working hour is over

And how it makes me weep
Cos someone sent my soul to sleep

And when I think of you and all the love that's due
I'll make a promise, I'll make a stand
Cos to these big brown eyes, this comes as no surprise
We've got the whole wide world in our hands

Advice for the young at heart
Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work ?

Working hour is over
We can do anyhting that we want
Anything that we feel like doing
Advice...


12.Laid So Low(Tears Roll Down)

Chewed the bone down too low
Got fed on tea and sympathy
Blew the sail like the wind
I wish you were my enemy
I was humble for you
What a fool I've been to have
Laid so low for so long

Into that void of silence
Where we cry without sound
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down
And where your mother's violence
Sent your soul underground
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down

Drew the blade way too slow
Was shackled by your honesty
Made a mess, I guess I have should have known
That life was lust and liberty
Not a chance mutation or the last temptation
Laid so low for so long, so low

Into that void of silence
Where we cry without sound
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down
And where your mother's violence
Sent your soul underground
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down


13.Elemental

This race is already run
Get off your horse, get on this train
' Welcome to the real world '
I said ' Welcome to the real world '
Are we rushing like the wind ?
Naked out and naked in
' Welcome to the free world '
I said ' Welcome to the me world '
Are we rushing like the wind ?

Put your lovin' arms around

Did you lose your faith in God, no ?
Does your conscience always get you down ?
Fall to pieces, rough and tumble
Does your conscience always get you down ?

These days it's all the mind
It's Elemental
Don't say your up when your down
It's Elemental

Put your lovin' arms around

This your new year's resolution
Put your lovin'arms around
Nothing doing resolution
Put your lovin' arms around

Take another leap in the dark
With a humble heart
Do yourself some good
What did you become ?
Patience, be sure
Baby, baby

These days it's all the mind
It's Elemental
Don't say your up when your down
It's Elemental


14.Cold

The coldest shoulder cast in metal
Frozen to the bone
To rely on hook, line and sinker
What a sinker
Sinking like a stone
You'd be better off alone
She saw me on the television underneath the sun
Thought that I was warm like mother, lover, brother
Brother, she was wrong
Me, I don't long to belong

Cold, been excommunicated cos I'm cold
My temperature's been rated and I'm cold
Bring to me my big old sweater
Nothing more will make me better

I met her on Monday and my heart did nothing new
Seems she thought of me as some mystic, fatalistic, mystical
guru
Me, I haven't got a clue
But floating on a magic carpet high above the earth
You can see the world like a Buddha, bread and Buddha
Bigger than you hurt
Don't you know that love is work

Cold, no heat on the horizon guess I'm cold
And Capricorn is rising yes I'm cold
Listened to my old Nockles
Hoped that it would warm the cockles

You can't fight the fear you can't, this is the road you're on
You don't belong to me you don't belong to any one
Your reputation lies not in your eyes, but those who dare
Will bite the hand that feeds when it don't meet your needs When
you got blood to bleed, you got a life to lead

In the flood with my blood I can hold you

Cold, been excommunicated cos I'm cold
My temperature's been rated and I'm cold
Bring to me my big old sweater
Nothing more will make me better

Cold, no heat on the horizon guess I'm cold
There'll be no comprimising, cold, cool, cold
Stone cold
Stone cold
Cold
Cold
Cold


15.Break It Down Again

Break it down again

So those are my dreams
And these are my eyes
Stand tall like a man
Head a strong like a horse

When it's all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of secrets
In the world of sound

It's in the way you're always hiding from the light
See for yourself you have been sitting on a time bomb
No revolution maybe someone somewhere else
Could show you something new about you and your inner song
And all the love and all the love in the world
Won't stop the rain from falling
Waste seeping underground
I want to break it down

Break it down again

So these are my schemes
And these are my plans
Hot tips for the boys
Fresh news from the force

When it's all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of silence
In the world of sound

' No sleep for dreaming' say the architects of life
Big bouncing babies, bread and butter can I have a slice
They make no mention of the beauty of decay
Blue, yellow, pink umbrella save it for a rainy day
And all the love and all the love in the world
Won't stop the rain from falling
Waste seeping underground
I want to break it down

Horsin' around
Pray to power
Play to the crowd with your big hit sound
And they won't simmer won't simmer, won't simmer down
Play to the crowd
Play to the crowd
Play yeah yeah

It's in the way you're always hiding from the light
Fast off to heaven just like Moses on a motorbike
No revolution maybe someone somewhere else
Could show you something new to help you
With the ups and downs
I want to break it down
Break it down again

Break it down again
No more sleepy dreaming
No more building up
It is time to dissolve
Break it down it again
No more sleepy dreaming


16.New Star

Baby your deal is surreal just like lightning, streakin' on
Heaven still is a state of mind, where did we go wrong?
What happen to those old convictions
Went up in smoke
Baby, while your back breaks slowly
By the skin of your teeth
You'll be under their thumb

Moving from this state of friction
We all got stars in our eyes
But you know by now your one restriction
Is at the edge of the sky

Keep shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
Baby we better start
'cause baby we're alive
New star

Shadows are still when the will
has no strength left to carry on
You're flat on you back with your heart attack
Where the hell have you gone?
The pressure and pain, all the fire and ice
when you're playing a game, with the rats and the mice
While your back breaks slowly
By the skin of your teeth
You'll be under their thumb

New star
Shining like a new star
Baby we better start
'cause baby we're alive
New star

New star
Shining like a new star
Baby we better start
'cause baby we're alive
New star

Dreaming so clever in all kinds of weather
Where did you mention that you buried your treasure
After the pleasure of givin' is gone
You'll be as one under the same sun

Shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
Shining like a new star

New star
Shining like a new star
Baby we better start
'cause baby we're alive
New star

'cause baby we're alive


17.Raoul And The Kings Of Spain

When the seventh of the seventh son
Comes along and breaks the chains
Raoul, Raoul, Raoul and The Kings of Spain
Making it plain, making it sane
To turn this loss into a gain

Raoul, Raoul, Raoul and The Kings of Spain
Raoul, Raoul, Raoul and The Kings of Spain

Did you know your father was an island
Did you know your mother was the sea
Can we ever hope to seek asylum
From the bounds of fate and family

When the seventh of the seventh son
Comes along and breaks the chains

Raoul, Raoul, Raoul and The Kings of Spain
Making it plain, making it sane
To turn this loss into a gain

Raoul, Raoul, Raoul and The Kings of Spain
Raoul, Raoul, Raoul and The Kings of Spain

Did you know all mothers come from heaven
Did you know all fathers come from hell
That is why they're at sixes and seven
That is why their marriage isn't well

When the seventh of the seventh son
Comes along and breaks the chains

Raoul, Raoul, Raoul and The Kings of Spain
Making it plain, making it sane
To turn this loss into a gain

Raoul, Raoul, Raoul and The Kings of Spain
Raoul, Raoul, Raoul and The Kings of Spain


18.God's Mistake

Have a friend, calls me up
Says hello, then hangs up
He must have read my mind
These are the days of a different paradigm
Maybe once, even twice
He said ' God does not play dice '
Yet if he's everywhere
He's in casinos with aces to spare

Oh, Love is God's mistake
Oh, Love is God's mistake

Ours is not to reason why
As we fall from way up high
Into the water
Like a lamb to the slaughter
Even now, God's mistake
Sets us up for one more heartbreak
God you look mighty fine
Dressed as the devil in a cosmic pantomime

Oh, Love is God's mistake
Oh, Love is God's mistake
Never was so much at stake
Oh, Love is God's mistake


19.Closest Thing To Heaven

28 days of rain
Flash floods in February
Back in our boats again
Bath water and the baby
What am I gonna do?
There's been a lot of drinking
Looking at ghosts of you
While all the world is sinking

10.000 miles into the atmosphere
My body shakes
Is there a welcome here?

Closest thing to heaven
How do you do it?
Closest thing to heaven, heaven

Throw your arms round the world
Make love your destination
Here we go boys and girls
Act like a generation
Give me that ball and chain
By now it must be hurting
Dragging your feet again
Just like a beast of burden
When one and one and one make two
I know I'm high because I've captured you,
yeah...

Closest thing to heaven
Yeah, it's you
Closest thing to heaven, heaven

Look the world right in the eye
Eat the countries that are making billions
Sweet as homemade apple pie
Saved by crumbs for all the starving millions, yeah

Closest thing to heaven
Closest thing to heaven
How do you do it?
Closest thing to heaven
Uhh, hey
Closest thing to heaven


20.Who Killed Tangerine?

Whatcha gonna choose the poison or the lines
Lived with crazy paving all your life
Something in your mind just tells you no
Hope in conversation starts to flow

Stuck inside a wheel, inside a wheel
Wondering everyday is it all for real
Blinking every time a cold wind blow
Our love don't fill a mile in rose

Tangerine, Tangerine

Watcha gonna do when the old man reads you dry
Step down from the plane and pluck the eye
Slide in deeper closer to the bone
Don't you just wish your heart was made of stone?

Waxing like an old cracked 45
Counting out the ways you could stay alive
Placed in body bags and fill with stones
My love won't bleed her wings are foam

And when you think it's all over
It's not over, it's not over
And when you think it's all over
It's not over, it's not over
And when you think it's all over
It's not over, it's not over

Who killed tangerine?
The prettiest girl I've ever seen
Who killed tangerine?

Who killed tangerine?
The prettiest girl I've ever seen
Who killed tangerine?

And when you think it's all over
It's not over, it's not over
And when you think it's all over
It's not over, it's not over
And when you think it's all over
It's not over, it's not over


21.Call Me Mellow

Fill the sky with love
Fill the sky with love

I wouldn't mind but she just turned up on the doorstep
Wishful and ashen, slightly bedraggled
Last time I saw her she was howling at the moon
Roaming the forest, lupine and rabid

Woah is she wild?
Does she see my inner child?

But then she knows it's like a curse
To find our chosen roles reversed
To unify my universe
To call me mellow

If only I was half my age and she was older
We'd live on ice-cream on Coney Island
I though it's gravity that drags down my balloon
She stays in orbit way after midnight

Woah slip and slide
Does she go all dewey-eyed?

But then she knows it's like a curse
To find our chosen roles reversed
To unify my universe
To call me mellow

She'll dress down for us
She'll break new ground for us
Watching me cracking up

She'll hang round fellahs
With all the groundswellers
Driving me like a truck

But then she knows it's like a curse
To find our chosen roles reversed
To unify my universe
To call me mellow

But then she knows it's like a curse
To find our chosen roles reversed
To unify my universe
To call me mellow

Fill the sky with love
Fill the sky with love
Fill the sky with love


22.Secret World

This is a garden
This is a steeple
I hear the crowd
Before I ever
See the people
Yours for the asking
And for the taking
There is a power
In the vacuum
We are making

You and I have a secret world
And we can keep it unfurled
And pay no attention
To the cradle or the grave

And when we're crossed
We can say that we're lost
In the middle of nowhere
Think you'll like it a lot
And if we're wrong
And we end up alone
We'll light a candle
For their innocent bones

You and I have a secret world
And we can keep it unfurled
And pay no attention
To the cradle or the grave

You and I have a secret world
And we can keep it unfurled
And pay no attention
To the cradle or the grave

And when we're crossed
We can say that we're lost
In the middle of nowhere
Think you'll like it a lot
And if we're wrong
And we end up alone
We'll light a candle
For their innocent bones

You and I have a secret world
And we can keep it unfurled
And pay no attention
To the cradle or the grave

And when we're crossed
We can say that we're lost
In the middle of nowhere
Think you'll like it a lot
And if we're wrong
And we end up alone
We'll light a candle
For their innocent bones


23.Floating Down The River(Once Again)

I've got a bone to pick with you cos you're lovin' every minute
of the day
Lost in a space between the lines, seems like life begins at
forty anyway
Must be a case of spot not feather, even though they're boxed
together
(The orchestra is dead)

Emil's Jacuzzi - starting to lose me - didn't I warn you
(Floating down the river once again)
Solomon Juneau - someone that you know - how we adore you
(Floating down the river once again)

I've got a plastic cross to bear, gonna pick it up and crash
into the sun
Fly on a rare collision course when the race is over just as
it's begun
Scientists will pay for this and rue the day they ever tried to
change your world

Emil's Jacuzzi - starting to lose me - didn't I warn you
(Floating down the river once again)
Solomon Juneau - someone that you know - how we adore you
(Floating down the river once again)

Ave Neru Salam - your secret life is written in your hand
Toy guns for everyone - you're needed now, a change is gonna
come

Scientists will pay for this and rue the day they ever tried to
change your world

Emil's Jacuzzi......


24.Mad World(Live)

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tommorow, no tommorow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Mad World
Mad World
Mad World

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Mad World
Enlarging your world
Mad World
