[Chorus]
My features form with a change in the weather
We can
We can work it out
My features form with a change in the weather
We can
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
Only 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, happen, hey

[Chorus]
My features form with a change in the weather
We can
We can work it out
My features form with a change in the weather
We can
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, happen, hey
Put your head right next to my heart
The beat of the drum is the fear of the dark

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
We can work it out
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

Tears for Fears

Tears for Fears are an English pop band formed in 1981 by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith.

The group rose to fame in 1982 with single “Mad World”, which made it to number 3 in the UK charts and paved the way for the huge success of debut album The Hurting, released in 1983. However, it wasn’t until Songs from the Big Chair in 1985, a change in musical direction towards pop, that the band made it internationally. The record proved to be hit, reaching #2 in the UK and #1 in the US charts, and contains their most well-known singles, “Shout” and “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”. Third album The Seeds of Love, released in 1989, performed similarly, entering the UK Albums charts at #1.

In 1991, the band broke up. Curt Smith went on as a solo artist while Roland Orzabal continued as Tears for Fears, releasing Elemental in 1993 to much success in the UK (though significantly less in the US) and Raoul and the Kings of Spain in 1995, which did poorly in the charts, only reaching #41 in the UK but with some acclaim in continental Europe. In 2000, Curt and Roland reunited and recorded what became Everybody Loves a Happy Ending, released in 2004 to positive reviews and moderate success. The band currently continues to tour.
