Gary Jules covered Mad World for the Donnie Darko soundtrack but Tears for Fears wrote it.

/pedant off (sorry)

Oohh you've started me oof now

When I was out I saw a fox,
He was running for his life,
His eyes were wide but his mind was shut,
To the red coat bugle cries,
When he reached his home his path was blocked,
By some "sportsman's" clever guise,
If this is as far as your culture's got,
I deny it.

This garden by The Levellers .

 

[Yoni]

I can be your liar
I can be your bearer of bad news
sick and uninspired by the diamonds in your fire
burning like a flame inside of you
but is this just desire or the truth
so shame on me for the ruse
shame on me for the blues
another one returned that I'll never use
but I won't go getting tired of you
I'm not getting tired
hanging on this wire
waiting for the day I have to choose
cursed by love so dire
one more boy for hire
one more boy to lend a hand to you
but is this just desire or the truth

Foo Fighters

Jesus
Jesus help me
I`m alone in this world
And a fucked up world it is too
Tell me
Tell me the story
The one about eternity
And the way it`s all gonna be
Wake up
Wake up dead man
Wake up
Wake up dead man

Jesus
I`m waiting here boss
I know you`re looking out for us
But maybe your hands aren`t free
Your Father
He made the world in seven
He`s in charge of heaven
Will you put a word in for me

Wake up
Wake up dead man
Wake up
Wake up dead man

Listen to your words
They`ll tell you what to do
Listen over the rhythm that`s confusing you
Listen to the reed in the saxophone
Listen over the hum of the radio
Listen over the sounds of blades in rotation
Listen through the traffic and circulation
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
Listen over marching bands playing out their time

Wake up
Wake up dead man
Wake up
Wake up dead man

Jesus
Were you just around the corner?
Did you think to try and warn her?
Or are you working on something new?
If there`s and order
In all of this disorder
Is it like a tape recorder?
Can we rewind it just once more

Wake up
Wake up dead man
Wake up
Wake up dead man

Guess the author and yuo win teh prize!

Dexy's Midnight Runners - Manhood

I feel rejection everywhere, even when it is not there
and i admit, my god im scared

and i get scared to say hello
I'm always thinking that they want to go
and though Ive hated myself
i also feel, that I, I have to shine now somehow

are you always feeling guilty?

yes

do you envy those who are care free?

listen

i'm so scared that i plan my every move

 

[Sharma]

There's a part of me you'll never know
The only thing i'll ever show

Hopelessly, i'll love you endlessly, hopelessly
I'll give you everything, but I won't give you up
I won't let you down, I won't leave you falling
If the moment never comes..

It's plain to see, it's trying to sleep
It's plain to see, it's trying to speak
Cherished dreams forever asleep

Hopelessly, i'll love you endlessly, hopelessly
I'll give you everything, but I won't give you up
I won't let you down, I won't leave you falling
If the moment never comes..

Muse - Endlessly

 

[Gumbo]

Well, I fucked a queen, I fucked fuck,
I've even sucked an old man's cock.
So what, so what.
And I fucked a sheep, I fucked a goat,
I rammed my cock right down its throat.
So what, so what.
So what, so what, you boring little fuck.

So What, Anti-Nowhere League.

Dunno what song it is but it's a bit offensive

 

[maxi--]

Well, that's probably the intention isn't it? WIth a lot of songs of tha ILK, kids listen to them for that very reason, cos they'll offend mummy & daddy.

not saying that is the case though

Heh, I'm 28, and it's a good 80's Punk tune, but I chose to post those lyrics to try to spice up an otherwise banal thread.

Don't post whole songs kids, post a line or two that moves you/makes you laugh/you find clever.

And as someone else said, for gods sake, say where it comes from. This could become a great thread amongst the dross, with a little work

 

[throdgrain]

They ask me why I'm hateful, why I'm bad
They tell me I got things they never had
They tell me go to church and see the light
Cos the good lord's always right
So what, so what
So what if Jesus died on the cross
So what about the fucker, I don't give a toss
So what if the master walked on the water
Don't see him trying to stop the slaughter
Say I wouldn't have to live from bins
If I would go along, confess my sins
Say I shouldn't commit no crime
Cos Jesus Christ is watching all the time
So what, so what
So what if he's always over my shoulder
I realise the truth as I get older
Get to see what a con he is
Because it's my life, mine not his
Well, they say they're going to send me away
Say they're gonna make me pay
We're sorry but you've gotta go
Cos you were naughty, you said "NO"
So what, so what
So what if I see through the lies
So what if the people I despise
Twist my arm and make me work
I'm no deaf, dumb, fucking jerk
I'm no spastic lying in the street
I'm no superstar elite
I'm just a person, human being
NO YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE A PART OF THE MACHINE.


Another so what song ,or part of it, this time another by Crass, 198-early.
