Tears For Fears vs. Gary Jules


 

   

Mad World
Tears For Fears
All around me are
Familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for their
Daily races
Goin' nowhere
Goin' nowhere
Their tears are
Fillin' 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 dyin'
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 waitin' for the
Day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Made to feel the way that
Every child should
Sits and listen
Sits 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 dyin'
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 dyin'
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
A raunchy young world
Mad world

  1. If you wanted a contrast, and perhaps the most amazing performance of this song (which I like very very much) then you could have used http://youtu.be/PfR0JGWX62E. That is the American Idol live performance, Adam Lambert later did a studio version...

  5. Thanks for stopping by again (and again), my dear Grace!!! Yes, Adam really did do a good job with the song. Funny, but I always had it in my head that the Gary Jules version was the original by R.E.M. Just don't tell my wife--okay? For she has been becoming harder and harder to convince that I have never been wrong about anything.
