Mad World

suntoto

This song is on my playlist and EVERY time I hear it I think about how mad TTC makes me.  It was originally a Tears For Fears song, but I LOVE the Gary Jules version. 

Lyrics below.

 

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
Mad world, mad world
A raunchy young world
Mad world

The Gary Jules version is the best!  The lyrics do make me think of TTC madness as well.

That has been one of my very favourite songs since 1980-whatever. I'm a purist, though...I still prefer the Tears for Fears version.

Not TTC related, of course, but if you're into dance and didn't see the routine to this song in last season's So You Think You Can Dance, you should: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlRulUDxbWU.

I just took a step back in time, you know cruising with a walkman rocking to the original.
