Tears For Fears – Mad World – 1982

    Paroles

    All around me are familiar faces
    Worn out places, worn out faces
    Bright and early for their daily races
    Going nowhere, going nowhere
    Their tears are filling up their glasses
    No expression, no expression
    Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
    No tomorrow, no tomorrow

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Enlarging your world
    Mad world

    Troisième single de l’album « The Hurting », c’est le premier succès du groupe Outre-Manche et à l’international, on retrouve sur cet opus, les singles « Suffer the Children », « Pale Shelter (You Don’t Give me Love) » et « Change ».

    Cet album a été certifié disque d’Or en France pour plus de 100.000 exemplaires mais seulement à partir de 1985, après la sortie chez nous de « Shout », chanson qui fera découvrir au grand public le groupe en France.

    Pour l’anecdote, Nicola Sirkis, leader d’Indochine, a fait une reprise de « Mad World’ sur son album solo « Dans la lune » sorti en 1992.
