Tears for Fears, named after a chapter found in Arthur Janov's book History of Headaches, are a British pop/ rockoutfit formed in the early 1980s by Roland Orzabaland Curt Smith, two school friends and ex-members of Graduate. Initially associated with new waveand the new romanticmovements, the duo's earliest work (through 1983's The Hurting) was explicitly based around the confusion and angst of adolescence - though top forty regulars on both sides of the Atlantic, Orzabal and Smith made their major international breakthrough with Songs From the Big Chairin 1985, which included their most commercially popular material to date (scoring two Billboard Hot 100 #1s and a UK #2). They released three albums - the synthesizer-based (1983), (1985) (which broke free from the new-wave mold) and the jazz/ blues/ The Beatlesinfluenced (1989) - before Orzabal and Smith had an extremely acrimonious falling out. The split of the duo was ultimately blamed on Orzabal's intricate but frustrating approach to production and Smith's distaste for the pop music world. The two spent the 1990s working separately.

Break It Down Again Lyrics
Tears For Fears
Break it down again
So those are my dreams
And these are my eyes
Stand tall like a man
Head a strong like a horse
When its all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of secrets
In the world of sound
Its in the way youre always hiding from the light
See for yourself you have been sitting on a time bomb
No revolution maybe someone somewhere else
Could show you something new about you and your inner song
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
Break it down again
So these are my schemes
And these are my plans
Hot tips for the boys
Fresh news from the force
When its all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of silence
In the world of sound
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 wont simmer wont simmer, wont simmer down
Play to the crowd
Play to the crowd
Play yeah yeah
Its 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
I want to break it down
Break it down again
Break it down again
No more sleepy dreaming
No more building up
It is time to dissolve
Break it down it again
No more sleepy dreaming
