Tears for Fears

Climbin' every mountain, always killing time
Count the cost as days go by
Monday I've got Friday on my mind
Why don't we make love
Instead of making plans

Mother Nature, Father Time
Baby it's the family of man
Babies cry when they hear that tune
Live and die in the heart and the moon(?)

And it's the rhythm of life
She's got luck
Lucy's sign is the Chinese dragon, oh
She's got luck
The rhythm of life is the force of habit, yeah
The rhythm of life goes on

Give the girl a future
Give her what she needs
Teach her life's a Iong, flat road
Maybe she'll have better luck than me
Life is short, baby ain't that cool
He's fighting tough for a couple of fools

And it's the rhythm of life
She's got luck
Lucy's sign is the Chinese dragon
Oh, oh-oh, mind's made up
The rhythm of life is the force of habit, yeah
The rhythm

Oh, when out of sight is out of mind
Shut your mouth, I'm doing fine
Love is goin' back in time
Love is goin' back in time

Rhythm of life goes on
Rhythm of life goes on
Rhythm of life goes on
Rhythm of life goes on

Rhythm of life goes on
Rhythm of life goes on
Rhythm of life goes on
Rhythm of life goes on

Rhythm of life goes on
Rhythm of life goes on
Rhythm of life goes on
Rhythm of life goes on

Rhythm of life
Rhythm of life

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.
