Shout:(The Very Best Of Tears

Tears For Fears Shout:(The Very Best Of Tears 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.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


3.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


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.Suffer The Children

It's a sad affair
When there's no one there
He calls out in the night
And it's so unfair
At least it seems that way
When you gave him his life

And all this time he's been getting you down
You ought to pick him up when there's no one around
And convince him
Just talk to him
Cos he knows in his heart you won't be home soon
He's an only child in an only room
And he's dependent on you

And it seems so strange
That at the end of the day
Making love can be so good
But the Pain of birth
What is it worth
When it don't turn out the way it should


6.Mothers 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


7.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


8.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 lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world


9.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


10.I Believe(A Soulful Re-Recording)

I believe that when the hurting and the pain has gone
We will be strong, Oh yes we will be strong
And I believe that if I'm crying while I write these words
Is it absurb ? Or am I being real
I believe that if you knew just what these tears were for
They would just pour like every drop of rain
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe

I believe that if you thought for a moment, took your time
You would not resign yourself to your fate
And I believe that if it's written in the stars, that's fine
I can't deny that I'm a Virgo too
I believe that if your bristling while you hear this song
I could be wrong or have I hit a nerve ?
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe

I believe that maybe somewhere in the darkness
In the nighttime, In the storm
In the casino
Casino spanish eyes
I believe, no I can't believe that every time you hear a new
born scream
You just can't see the shaping of a life
The shaping of a life


11.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


12.Woman In Chains

Artist:Tears For Fears/Oleta Adams

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.


13.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...


14.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


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(From'Threesome')

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.Goodnight Song

Here on the stage
The time has come
With the strains of 'Be my angels!', of rock in two four
Time may keep alive that old swang song
That we've been playing forever
Till the time maybe right to say goodbye
My voice is aching, I'm tongue tired
And the sounds we are making are so uninspired

Goodnight song, played so wrong
Blame the crowd, they scream so loud, so long

Get some honesty
Take the best of me and then the rest let go
In every situation with it's tireless rage
Step outside your cage and let the real fool show
I should have stayed round to break the ice
I thought about it once or twice
But nothing ever changes unless there's some pain
And our...

Goodnight song, played so wrong
Blame the crowd, they scream so loud, so long

Goodnight song, played so wrong
Blame the crowd, they scream so loud, so long
