Tears For Fears - Raoul And The Kings Of Spain (1995)
01. 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
02. Falling Down
Is this world spinning round
Has this ship run aground
What's that shape
What's that sound
That's just me falling down
Some of us are free
Some are bound
Some will swim
Some will drown
Some of us are saints
Some are clowns
Just like me they're falling down
Well I lied to the nation
While my reputation ran dry
From my lungs to my liver
I clung to the river bank's side
Yeah well I'm back in the water
Doing what I oughta
Trying to lead an ordinary life
Is this world spinning round
Has this ship run aground
What's that shape
What's that sound
That's just me falling down
Some of us are green
Some are brown
Some are lost
Some are found
Sight unseen baby
Sound on sound
Pray for me I'm falling down
I was lost in the jungle
Crossed over enemy lines
Well I got me a red nose
By sleeping under hedgerows at night
Yeah well I tried levitation
Flying in formation
Heaven kows the weight of this crime
Is this
Is this world spinning round
Has this ship run aground
What's that shape
What's that sound
That's just me falling down
La, la, la...
Falling down
Falling down
03. Secrets
It seems we caused a forest fire
With just a flicker of a flame
And now I set alight to everything
Now all I do is cause you pain
I won't keep secrets alive
I'll send them all out to space
Without the will to survive
They won't be going no place
Oh my angel
Woman child
I used to think the time would come
When man would rise above the beast
I gave up thinking that way long ago
In conversation with a priest
I won't keep secrets alive
I'll send them all out to space
Without the will to survive
They won't be going no place
Oh my angel
Woman child
We could have heal this blindness
With some human kindness
I know secrets kill you
But my love can fill you
Time and time again
Time and time again
It would be so fine
If you could be mine
I won't keep secrets alive
I'll send them all out to space
Without the will to survive
They won't be going no place
Oh my angel
Woman child
04. 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
Mistake!
Ours is not to reason why
As we fall from way up high
Into the water (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
05. Sketches Of Pain
Daylight Saved
Daylight Saved
To spite the dark
In spite of the darkness
There I'll crave
There I'll crave
To get to the heart
In spite of the darkness
Great wide stretches of canvas
Signed by a godless name
Strange bright colours of madness
Only a fool would frame
Sketches of Pain
Sketches of Pain
Sketches of Pain
Some cry shame
Some cry shame
We tore them apart
We failed to imagine
God might claim
God might claim
The works of art
We failed to imagine
Great wide stretches of canvas
Signed by a godless name
Strange bright colours of madness
Only a fool would frame
Sketches of Pain
Sketches of Pain
Sketches of Pain
When time is like a needle
And night is the longest day
A home is a cathedral
A place where a king can pray
Ghosts all gone
Ghosts all gone
To another plane
Ghosts all gone
Ghosts all gone
To another plane
A home is like a castle
A place where a king can reign
Raoul and The Kings of Spain
Ghosts all gone
Ghosts all gone
Ghosts all gone
To another plane
07. Sorry
What's the matter with your life
Did someone come and shoot your with wife
Just as you planned
Will you live or will you die
Are you that butterfly
That never lands
Set aside these vacant rules
Break them now and don't get fooled again
Sorry
How many times must I say
Life is not a cake to seperate
What do I have to do
To save you from worry
Cut off my nose
To spite my face
When you look into these eyes
Do you see civilised
Or son of Sam
Will you love or do you hate
Why do you hestitate yeah
Sorry
How many times must I say
Life is not a cake to seperate
What do I have to do
To save you from worry
Cut off my nose
To spite my face
Time is an arrow
You are the bow
Shoot it now to seal your own fate
Get a life, get a love, get a new big idea
What's the matter with your life
Did someone come and shoot your with wife
Just as you planned
Will you live or will you die
Are you that butterfly
Sorry
How many times must I say
Life is not a cake to seperate
What do I have to do
To save you from worry
Cut off my nose
To spite my face
08. Humdrum And Humble
Mistress of the mind
Take me where the air is clean
Ignorance is kind
Emerald and evergreen
30 days September, year of miracle and grief
Through the haze, Remember
You're an animal, not a mineral
And we won the war, lost the battle
Lost the war, won the battle
Won the war, lost the battle
Lost the war
All for the love of the humdrum and humble
Colour for the colourblind
All for the love of the humdrum and humble
Through the human eye
Nature a soul extreme
Nothing seems to die
Pictures in a magazine
Through the maze, precisely
Through the myriad of schemes
With your gaze, entice me
Like an animal, not a mineral
And we won the war, lost the battle
Lost the war, won the battle
Won the war, lost the battle
Lost the war
All for the love of the humdrum and humble
Colour for the colourblind
All for the love of the humdrum and humble
Through the maze, precisely
Through the myriad of schemes
With your gaze, entice me
Like an animal, not a mineral
And we won the war, lost the battle
Lost the war, won the battle
Won the war, lost the battle
Lost the war
All for the love of the humdrum and humble
Colour for the colourblind
All for the love of the humdrum and humble
Rubishing the phillistines
All for the love of the humdrum and humble
09. I Choose You
I knew all this was coming
Ain't that odd
Some things come out of nothing
As with God
Not my intention to amuse
Or confuse
I've been down to the kitchen
Played my part
Mapped out all contradictions
Of the heart
Then someone came and stole my shoes
A situation I tried to diffuse
Long way back clouds were forming
If by choice
Some things come as a warning
Hear their voice
I wish that I could change its hue
Paint it blue
But when I think what I could lose
All other options disappear from view
When I Choose
I Choose You
I Choose You
10. Don't Drink The Water
This a religion
No, this a drag
That man over there is smoking sweet cigarettes
Hey look at that fag !
I had a dream
I saw you swim
Sink to your grave
Down to Davy Jone's locker
Under the waves
Don't say " Thank God for simple truths "
Take me to your leader
Take me for a ride
The shutters were never open
The day I used to hide
All of the things
I never knew
I should have said
When you looked like Frida Kahlo
Curled up in bed
Don't say " Thank God for simple truths "
Don't drink the water, baby
Don't drink the water, baby
So much emotion, these eyes a strange kind of blue
Deep as the ocean, they named a sea after you
Don't say " Thank God for simple truths "
Don't drink the water, baby
11. Me And My Big Ideas
Me and my big ideas
Won't wash away your tears
No one else seems to mind
That I'm not that kind
Go get a volunteer
We'll pay him well my dear
He will see inside your mind
Because he is that kind
It's a southern kind of heat
The shadows crack and start to creep
Conversation drag its feet
I wish we'd both been more discret
Like light that it caught between night and day
You're stuck between me and my
Me and my big ideas
Won't wash away your tears
No one else seems to mind
That I'm not that kind
Well they love you when you're weak
Bet they hate you to see this winning streak
It's that thing we call control
There's a deep frustration
Black thoughts
That are stuck between someone's ears
Like me and my big idea
So many strings to your bow
Why not let one go
In a way this dream is over
Blown away our four leaf clover
There's no reason why
There's just me and my
Me and my big ideas
Won't wash away your tears
No one else seems to mind
That I'm not that kind
A home is like a castle
A place where a king can reign
Raoul and the kings of Spain
Ghosts all gone (ghosts all gone)
Ghosts all gone
To another place
Los reyes catolicos
Ghosts all gone
Ghosts all gone
Ghosts all gone
To another place
13. All Of The Angels
It's not suicide or amnesia
Guess I'll kiss and tell, kiss and tell
If you do decide at your leisure
They can weave their spell, weave their spell
All of the angels
Calling us home
We leave tomorrow
We leave everything we own
And I will be sad as I'm leaving
As they take my hand, take my hand
We won't criticize others leaving
We will understand, understand
All of the angels
Calling us home
We leave tomorrow
We leave everything we own
Say goodbye to the world and it's false conclusions
Know that time is a wall
And one more illusion
Come alive with the songs
And their live concretions
Leave the keys in the car
We won't go very far
If you realize they are with you
And they're here today, here today
With the secret prize they will give you
It will be ok, be ok
All of the angels
Calling us home
We leave tomorrow
We leave everything we own
14. The Madness Of Roland
We are sensual
Low self esteem
From the way you operate
Like a machine
Temperamental
You sometimes break down
You should try to all survive
Close to the ground
Why am I often in pain?
Why is my brain not like other people's brain?
I see you
I can see who you are
I can see you
I can see who you are
Can you see me?
See who I am
Do you know me?
Do you know what I like?
Do you understand?
Hands raised to heaven
With a boy against the world
Your father was a preacher
You aren't the son of man
The son was always there though
He was looking for someone
With whom to share his twilight years
The son was always there though
He was looking for someone
With whom to share his twilight years
My career is so surreal
Can we renegotiate part of the deal?
Why am I often in pain?
Why is my brain not like other people's brain?
I see you
I can see who you are
Why let the train take the strain?
How does the man in the moon know my name?
I see you
I can see who you are
I can see you
I can see who you are
Can you see me
See who I am?
Do you know me?
Do you know what I want?
Do you understand?
'Cause I see you
I see who you are
Can you see me
See who I am?
Do you know me?
Do you know what I'm like?
Do you understand?
15. Queen Of Compromise
It's no ordinary mind
That can read between the lines
And can say which way the fates are fating
When you're skating on thin ice
Crocodiles in paradise
Just below your feet they lie in waiting
You don't have to take my side
But these arms are open wide
There is something in your eyes still glowing
It's your husband, it's your wife
Your money, it's your life
It's that special kind of knowing
It happens all the time
I read your mind
Where dreams take second place
I'll invade your space
Your secrets will be mine
What's your sign?
There are way too many flies
On the queen of compromise
'Cause she'll never know the act she's selling
She could try me out for size
'Cause there's something on the rise
And it might just help reduce the swelling
We won't need to publicize
I don't think that would be wise
So this something we must hide can keep on growing
It's your husband, it's your wife
Your money, it's your life
It's that special kind of knowing
It happens all the time
I read your mind
Where dreams take second place
I'll invade your space
Your secrets will be mine
What's your sign?
It's so good to be alive
I can count from one to five
But I can't control the way things are going
It's your husband it's your wife
Your money, it's your life
It's that special kind of knowing
16. Until I Drown
Took a long time to mend
Took a long time to make amends
Funny how the story goes
Strip a man bare and burn his clothes
Time is all I crave
It comes in waves
I will be here until I drown
System's on overload
Goes to bed warm but wakes up cold
What a bloody cross to bare
Time on my hands but I don't care
Days are all the same
They wax and wane
I will be here until I drown
Time is all I crave
It comes in waves
I will be here until I drown
17. War Of Attrition
Come and play
It's ok
Cast your eyes upon
??????
Know your place
Show your face
Sleep won't help you none
You might say it's a war of attrition
War of attrition
This your fate
No escape
I have learned a lot
I can wait
What's my name
What's your game
You have lied a lot
Then you turn around and tell me this ain't war
It's a war of attrition
War of attrition
