Tears for Fear's Break It Down Again
Okayy, so I hum this song in my head again. Unbidden. But I love this song nonetheless because of its lyrics. My favourite part would have to be when Orzabal sings:
[b]It's in the way youre 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[/b]
The rest of it does make you ponder and go uh huh:
[i]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
Wont 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[/i]
I've read several reviews about how this is about the Orzabal and Smith being gay. *rolls eyes* I don't know much but does everything really have to be about that?? I'm rather inclined to believe the one who said this was about the band breakup.
