[Verse 1: Roland Orzabal]

High time we made a stand

And shook up the views of the common man

And the love train 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 democracy?

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, yeah, yeah

[Chorus 1: Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal]

Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love

Anything is possible when you're sowing the seeds of love

Sowing the seeds

Sowing the seeds of love

Anything is possible

Seeds of love

Sowing the seeds of love

Sowing the seeds

[Verse 2: Roland Orzabal]

I spy tears in their 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 granny with your high ideals

Have you no idea how the majority feels?

So without love and a promised land

We're fools to the rules of a government plan

Kick out the style, bring back the jam

[Chorus 2: Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal]

Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love

Anything

Sowing the seeds of love

Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love

Sowing the seeds

[Post-Chorus 1: Roland Orzabal]

Sowing the seeds

The birds and the bees

My girlfriend and me

In love

[Interlude]

[Bridge 1: Roland Orzabal]

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, yeah, yeah

Everyone read about it, read about it

Everyone

Read it in the books, in the crannies and the nooks, there are books to read for us

[Chorus 3: Roland Orzabal]

Sowing the seeds of love

Sowing the seeds of love

We're sowing the seeds

Sowing the seeds

Sowing the seeds of love

We're sowing the seeds

Sowing the seeds of love

Sowing the seeds of love

Mr. England sowing the seeds of love

[Bridge 2: Curt Smith, Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal]

Time to eat all your words

Swallow your pride

Open your eyes

Time to eat all your words

Swallow your pride

Open your eyes

[Verse 3: Roland Orzabal, Curt Smith]

High time we made a stand

Time to eat all your words

And shook up the views of the common man

Swallow your pride

And the love train rides from coast to coast

Open your eyes

Every minute of every hour

I love a sunflower

Open your eyes

And I believe in love power

Open your eyes

Love power

Love power

Open your eyes

[Chorus 4: Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal]

Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love

Sowing the seeds

Sowing the seeds of love, the seeds of love

Sowing the seeds

Sowing the seeds

Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love

Sowing the seeds of love, sowing the seeds

Sowing the seeds

[Post-Chorus 2: Roland Orzabal]

An end to need

And the politics of greed

With love

[Chorus 5: Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal]

Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love

Sowing the seeds of love

Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love

Anything, anything

Sowing the seeds

Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love

Sowing the seeds

[Post-Chorus 2: Roland Orzabal]

An end to need

(What about the workers?)

And the politics of greed

With love

[Chorus 6: Curt Smith & Roland Orzabal]

Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love

Sowing the seeds of love

Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love

Sowing the seeds of love

Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love

Sowing the seeds of love

[Verse 1]

Welcome to your life

There's no turning back

Even while we sleep

We will find you

[Chorus]

Acting on your best behaviour

Turn your back on Mother Nature

Everybody wants to rule the world

[Verse 2]

It's my own design

It's my own remorse

Help me to decide

Help me make the

[Chorus]

Most of freedom and of pleasure

Nothing ever lasts forever

Everybody wants to rule the world

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

So glad we've almost made it

So sad they had to fade it

Everybody wants to rule the world

[Instru Solo Interlude]

[Chorus]

I can't stand this indecision

Married with a lack of vision

Everybody wants to rule the—

Say that you'll never, 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

[Verse 1: Roland Orzabal]

You better love loving and you better behave

You better love loving and you better behave

Woman in chains

Woman in chains

[Verse 2: Oleta Adams]

Calls her man the great white hope

Says she's fine, she'll always cope

Woman in chains

Woman in chains

[Chorus 1: Roland Orzabal, Oleta Adams]

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 woman in chains, woah

Woman in chains

Woman in chains

[Verse 3: Oleta Adams, Roland Orzabal]

Trades her soul as skin and bone

You better love loving and you better behave

Sells the only thing she owns

You better love loving and you better behave

Woman in chains

The sun and the moon

Woman in chains

[Interlude: Roland Orzabal]

Men of stone

Men of stone

[Chorus 2: Roland Orzabal, Oleta Adams, Both]

Well, I feel deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heal

That time can't heal

And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe

Well, you know what I mean

It's a world gone crazy

Keeps woman in chains

[Post-Chorus: Roland Orzabal, Oleta Adams, Both]

It's under my skin but out of my hands

I'll tear it apart, but I won't understand

Somebody somewhere is trying to breathe

I will not accept the greatness of man

[Interlude: Roland Orzabal, Oleta Adams]

It's a world gone crazy

Keeps woman in chains

Gone crazy

Keeps woman in chains

[Outro: Both, Roland Orzabal]

So free her

So free her

So free her

So free her

So free her

The sun and the moon

So free her

The wind and the rain

So free her

So free her

So free her

So free her

So free her

So free her

So free her

The sun and the moon

So free her

The wind and the rain

So free her

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal & Curt Smith]

Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on

I'm talking to you, come on

Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on

I'm talking to you, come on

[Verse 1: Roland Orzabal]

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

You shouldn't have to jump for joy

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal & Curt Smith]

Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on

I'm talking to you, come on

[Verse 2: Roland Orzabal]

They gave you life and in return, you gave them hell

As cold as ice, I hope we live to tell the tale

I hope we live to tell the tale

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal & Curt Smith]

Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on

I'm talking to you, come on

Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on

I'm talking to you, come on

[Interlude]

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal & Curt Smith]

Shout, shout, let it all out (Let it all out)

These are the things I can do without

Come on

I'm talking to you, come on

[Verse 3: Roland Orzabal]

And when you've taken down your guard

If I could change your mind, I'd really love to break your heart

I'd really love to break your heart

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal & Curt Smith]

Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without

(Break your heart)

Come on

(Really love to break your heart)

I'm talking to you, come on

Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on

I'm talking to you so come on

[Interlude - Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal & Curt Smith]

Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on

I'm talking to you, come on

(They really, really ought to know)

Shout, shout, let it all out

(They really, really ought to know)

These are the things I can do without

(They really, really)

Come on

(They really, really ought to know)

I'm talking to you, come on

Shout, shout, let it all out

(I'd really love to break your heart)

These are the things I can do without

(I'd really love to break your heart)

Come on

I'm talking to you so come on

Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on

I'm talking to you...

[Verse 1: Roland Orzabal]

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, just, just wasting time

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal]

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, don't, don't throw it away

[Post-Chorus: Roland Orzabal]

Throw it away

Throw it away

[Verse 2: Roland Orzabal, Curt Smith]

I made a fire, I’m watching it burn (yeah)

I thought of your future

With one foot in the past now just how long will it last?

No, no, no, have you no ambition?

(Mm, what's the matter with my...)

My mother and my brother’s used to breathing clean air

(Nothing ever changes when you’re acting your age)

And dreaming I’m a doctor

(Nothing gets done when you feel like a baby)

It’s hard to be a man when there’s a gun in your hand

(Nothing ever changes when you’re acting your age)

Oh, I feel so

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal]

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, don't, don't throw it away

[Bridge: Roland Orzabal]

And this is my four leaf clover

I’m on the line, one open mind

This is my four leaf clover

[Outro: Roland Orzabal]

La la-la la la, la la-la la la

La la la-la la-la

La la-la la la, la la-la la la

La la la-la la-la

La la-la la la, la la-la la la

La la la-la la-la

La la-la la la, la la-la la la

La la la-la la-la

La la-la la la, la la-la la la

In my mind’s eye

La la la-la la-la

One little boy, one little man

La la-la la la, la la-la la la

[Verse 1]

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 tomorrow, no tomorrow

[Chorus]

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, 'cause I find it hard to take

When people run in circles

It's a very, very

Mad world

Mad world

Mad world

Mad world

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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, 'cause I find it hard to take

When people run in circles, it's a very very

Mad world

Mad world

Mad world

Mad world

[Interlude]

[Chorus]

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

Cause I find it hard to take

When people run in circles

It's a very, very

Mad world

Mad world

Halargian world

Mad world

[Verse 1: Curt Smith]

How can I be sure

When your intrusion's my illusion?

How can I be sure

When all the time you change my mind?

I ask for more and more

How can I be sure?

[Chorus: Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal]

When you don't give me love

You give 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 wanna be is

Completely in command

[Verse 2: Curt Smith]

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 ask for more and more

How can I be sure?

[Chorus: Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal]

When you don't give me love

You give 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 wanna be is

Completely in command

[Interlude]

[Verse 3: Curt Smith]

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?

[Chorus: Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal]

When you don't give me love

You give 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 wanna be is

Completely in command

Completely in command

[Outro: Curt Smith]

You don't give me love, you don't give me love

You don't give me love, you don't give me love

You don't give me love, you don't give me love

[Verse 1]

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 absurd or am I being real?

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

I believe that if you thought for a moment, took your time

You would not resign yourself, 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

[Verse 4]

I believe that if you're 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

[Verse 5]

I believe that maybe somewhere in the darkness

In the night time, in the storm, in the casino

Casino Spanish eyes

[Verse 6]

And I believe, no I can't believe

That every time you hear a newborn scream

You just can't see the shaping of a life

The shaping of a life

[Verse 1]

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, so low

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Interlude]

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 1]

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 the footsteps of a funeral pyre

You were paid not to listen now your house is on fire

[Bridge 1]

Wake me up when things get started

When everything starts to happen

[Chorus]

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 wind blows

When the mothers talk

When the mothers talk

When the wind blows

When the wind blows

When the wind blows

When the mothers talk

When the mothers talk

When the wind blows

We can

Only we can work it out

[Verse 2]

Some of us are horrified

Others never talk about it

But when the weather starts to burn

Then you'll know that you're in trouble

Follow in the footsteps of a soldier girl

It is time to put your clothes on and to face the world

[Bridge 2]

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

[Chorus]

My features form with a change in the weather

Weekend

We can work it out

My features form with a change in the weather

Better late than never, there's a change in the weather

We can work it out

When the wind blows

When the wind blows

When the mothers talk

When the mothers talk

When the wind blows

When the wind blows

When the wind blows

When the mothers talk

When the mothers talk

When the wind blows

We can

Only we can work it out

[Verse 1]

You walked in to the room

I just had to laugh

The face you wore was cool

You were a photograph

[Pre-Chorus]

When it's all too late

It's all too late

[Verse 2]

I did not have the time

I did not have the nerve

To ask you how you feel

Is this what you deserve?

[Pre-Chorus]

When it's all too late

It's all too late

[Chorus]

Change

You can change

Change

You can change

[Verse 3]

And something on your mind

Became a point of view

I lost your honesty

You lost the life in you

[Pre-Chorus]

When it's all too late

It's all too late

[Verse 4]

We walk and talk in time

I walk and talk in two

Where does the end of me

Become the start of you?

[Pre-Chorus]

When it's all too late

It's all too late

[Chorus]

Change

You can change

Change

You can change

[Bridge]

What has happened to

The friend that I once knew?

Has he gone away?

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus]

When it's all too late

It's all too late

Change

[Chorus]

Change

You can change

Change

You can change

[Chorus]

Change

You can change

Change

You can change

[Chorus]

Change

You can change

Change

You can change

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

Hey, 'cause 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

Cause 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

Cause 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

Cause to these big brown eyes, this comes as no surprise

We've got the whole wide world in our hands

We've got the whole wide world in our hands

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?

Advice for the young at heart

Soon we will be older

When we gonna make it work?

Working hour is over

We can do anything that we want

Anything that we feel like doing

Advice...

[Verse 1]

There's only need, I love your need

So much I'm losing me

I cannot see the reason for the pain

With hungry joy, I'll be your toy

Just hoping you will play

Without the hope my body starts to fail

[Chorus 1]

Memories fade but the scars still linger

Goodbye, my friend

Will I ever love again?

Memories fade but the scars still linger

Woah, woah

[Verse 2]

I cannot grow, I cannot move

I cannot feel my age

The vice-like grip of tension holds me fast

Engulfed by you, what can I do

When history's my cage?

Look forward to a future in the past

[Chorus 1]

Memories fade but the scars still linger

Goodbye, my friend

Will I ever love again?

Memories fade but the scars still linger

Woah, woah

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]

The more I talk, the more I say

The less you seem to hear

I'm speechless in a most peculiar way

Your mind is weak, your need is great

And nothing is too dear

For you to use to take the pain away

[Chorus 2]

Memories fade but the scars still linger

Goodbye my friend

Will I ever love again?

Memories fade

When I die, pretend you can justify the end

Memories fade but the scars still linger

Woah, woah, still linger

Still linger, woah

[Verse 1]

Scratch the ice, let the telephone ring

Sense of time is a powerful thing

And we love to laugh, love to cry

Half alive we love to

Go slow when we're dancing for rain

Dry skin flakes where there's ice in the vein

And we love to cry, half alive

[Chorus]

Is this the start of the breakdown?

[Verse 2]

Scratch the earth, dig the burial ground

Sense of time won't be easily found

And ten out of ten for the ones

Who defend, pretend too

Breakdown is a final demand

We stand firm with our heads in our hands

As we love to cry, half alive

[Chorus]

Is this the start of the breakdown?

I can't understand you

Is this the start of the breakdown?

I can't understand you

Is this the start of the breakdown?

[Post-Chorus]

Break, breakdown

Break, break

[Interlude]

[Chorus]

I can't understand you

Is this the start of the breakdown?

I can't understand you

Is this the start of the breakdown?

I can't understand you

Is this the start of the breakdown?

I can't understand you

[Verse 1: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith]

Is it an horrific dream?

Am I sinking fast?

Could a person be so mean

As to laugh and laugh

[Pre-Chorus 1: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith]

On my own

Could you ease my load?

Could you see my pain?

Could you please explain

The hurting

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith]

Could you understand a child

When he cries in pain?

Could you give him all he needs

Or do you feel the same?

[Pre-Chorus 2: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith]

All along

You've been told you're wrong

When you felt it right

And you're left to fight

The hurting

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal]

The hurt, hurt, hurt

The hurt, hurt, hurt

[Interlude]

[Bridge: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith]

Get in line with the things you know

Feel the pain, feel the sorrow

Touch the hurt and don't let go

Don't let go, don't let go

Get in line with the things you know

Learn to cry, like a baby

Then the hurting won't come back

Won't come back, won't come back

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal]

The hurt, hurt, hurt

The hurt, hurt, hurt

[Outro: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, Roland Orzabal]

Is it an horrific dream?

The hurt, hurt, hurt

Is it an horrific dream?

The hurt, hurt, hurt

Is it an horrific dream?

The hurt, hurt, hurt

Is it an horrific dream?

The hurt, hurt, hurt

Is it an horrific dream?

The hurt, hurt, hurt

Is it an horrific dream?

The hurt, hurt, hurt

Is it an horrific dream?

The hurt, hurt, hurt

[instramental]

[Verse 1]

These things that I've been told

Can rearrange

My world, my doubt

In time, but inside out

[Chorus]

This is the working hour

We are paid by those who learn by our mistakes

This is the working hour

We are paid by those who learn by our mistakes

[Verse 2]

This day and age for all

And not for one

All lies and secrets

Put on, put on and on

[Chorus]

This is the working hour

We are paid by those who learn by our mistakes

This is the working hour

We are paid by those who learn by our mistakes

[Post-Chorus]

Fear is such a vicious thing

It wraps me up in chains

[Bridge]

Find out, find out

What this fear is about

Find out, find out

What this fear is about

[Bridge]

Find out, find out

What this fear is about

[Intro: Roland Orzabal]

Shout, shout

I'm talking to you, come on

[Interlude]

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal]

Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on

I'm talking to you, come on

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal]

Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on

I'm talking to you, come on

[Verse 1: Roland Orzabal]

In violent times

You shouldn't have to sell your soul

In black and white

They really, really ought to know

[Verse 2: Roland Orzabal]

Those one track minds

That took you for a working boy

Kiss them goodbye

You shouldn't have to jump for joy

You shouldn't have to jump for joy

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal]

Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on

I'm talking to you, come on

[Interlude]

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, Curt Smith]

Shout, shout, let it all out

Let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on

I'm talking to you, so come on

[Verse 3: Roland Orzabal]

And when you've taken down your guard

If I could change your mind

I'd really love to break your heart

I'd really love to break your heart

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith]

Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on

I'm talking to you, come on

[Verse 4: Roland Orzabal]

They gave you life

And in return you gave them hell

As cold as ice

I hope we live to tell the tale

I hope we live to tell the tale

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal]

Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on

I'm talking to you, come on

[Bridge: Roland Orzabal]

Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh

Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh

Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh

Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh

[Interlude]

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, Curt Smith]

Shout, shout, let it all out

Let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on

I'm talking to you, come on

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, Curt Smith]

Shout, shout, let it all out

Let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on

I'm talking to you, so come on

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, Curt Smith]

Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on

Come on, come on, come on

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, Curt Smith]

Shout, shout, let it all out

These are the things I can do without

Come on

Come on, come on

I'm talking to you so come on

Come on

[Outro: Roland Orzabal]

Shout

[Verse 1: Roland Orzabal]

Man, I never slept so hard

I never dreamt so well

Dreaming I was safe in life

Like mussels in a shell

Rolling and controlling

All the basements and the back roads of our lives

[Verse 2: Roland Orzabal]

Fill their dreams with big fast cars

Fill their heads with sand

Holy white we'll paint the town

The colour of our flag

Hey there little lady has your baby got the look of some old man?

Standing on the corner of the third world

[Verse 3: Roland Orzabal]

Hungry men will close their minds

Ideas are not their food

Notions fall on stony ground

Where passions are subdued

Colour all the madness for the madness is the thorn that's in our side

Standing on the corner of the third world

[Interlude: Carol Kenyon & Tessa Niles]

Of the third world, of the third world

Of the third world, of the third world

Of the third world, of the third world

[Bridge: Roland Orzabal]

When we gonna learn?

Who we gonna turn to?

The promises they make

The call for our attention

Compassion is the fashion

Free to earn, our pockets burn

We buy for love

Die for love

[Interlude]

[Outro: Roland Orzabal]

Hold me, I'm crying

Hold me, I'm dying

Johnny Panic

Johnny Panic and The Bible Of Dreams

I get excited by the news of today

What seems unstable may be able to stay

Johnny Panic

Johnny Panic and The Bible Of Dreams

My flame is heart, My baby do as she please

What good is living, when you live in disease

Johnny Panic

Johnny Panic and The Bible Of Dreams

I dream of heaven, it's a heavenly place

Why fall in love? when you can fall from grace

With Johnny Panic

Johnny Panic and The Bible Of Dreams

High time we made a stand and sup 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

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!

Bring back the jam!

[Intro]

Here we go!

Break it down again

[Verse 1]

So those are my dreams

And these are my eyes

Stand tall like a man

Headstrong like a horse

[Pre-Chorus]

When it's all mixed up

Better break it down

In the world of secrets

In the world of sound

[Chorus 1]

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

Break it down again

I want to break it down

Break it down again

Break it down again

[Verse 2]

So those are my schemes

And these are my plans

Hot tips for the boys

Fresh news from the force

[Pre-Chorus]

When it's all mixed up

Better break it down

In the world of silence

In the world of sound

[Chorus 2]

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

Break it down again

I want to break it down

Break it down again

[Interlude]

[Bridge]

Horsing around

Pray to the 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

[Chorus 3]

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

Break it down again

I want to break it down

Break it down again

Break it down again

Break it down again

Break it down again

Here we go!

[Outro]

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

[Intro]

This race is already run

Get off your horse, get on this train

Hey-a, hey-a, oh

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?

[Interlude]

[Refrain]

Put your loving arms around

[Verse 1]

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?

[Chorus]

These days it's all in the mind

It's elemental

Don't say you're up when you're down

It's elemental

[Refrain]

Put your loving arms around

[Verse 2]

This your New Year's resolution

Put your loving arms around

Nothing doing revolution

Put your loving arms around

[Bridge]

Take another leap in the dark

With a humble heart

Do yourself some good

What did you become?

Patience, be sure

Baby, baby

[Chorus]

These days it's all in the mind

It's elemental

Don't say you're up when you're down

It's elemental

[Chorus]

These days it's all in the mind

It's elemental

Don't say you're up when you're down

It's elemental

[Chorus]

These days it's all in the mind

It's elemental

Don't say you're up when you're down

It's elemental

[Outro]

These days it's all in the mind

It's elemental

[Chorus 1]

Life, Mama says, is bloodletting go

If I care for nothing

Sun don't shine and the grass don't grow

Bloodletting go

[Verse]

Society dictates by rules and regulations

But when things are so tired

You see things in the wrong light

Soon there will be no light if the sun don't shine

[Chorus 1]

Life, Mama says, is bloodletting go

If I care for nothing

Sun don't shine and the grass don't grow

Bloodletting go

[Chorus 2]

If by chance we both forget

The passage of space and time between

Pick up the pieces cold and wet

And drive them before the light to clean

Good times, bad times

Pain will come and pain will go

If I care for nothing

Sun don't shine

[Interlude]

[Chorus 2]

And if by chance we both forget

The passage of space and time between

Pick up the pieces cold and wet

And drive them before the light to clean

Good times, bad times

Pain will come and pain will go

If I care for nothing

Sun don't shine (Sun don't shine)

[Outro]

And the grass don't grow

Bloodletting go

[instramental]
