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.

Tears For Fears
You walked in to the room
I just had to laugh
The face you wore was cool
You were a photograph
When its all too late
Its all too late
I did not have the time
I did not have the nerve
To ask you how you feel
Is this what you deserve
When its all too late
Its all too late
Change
You can change
And something on your mind
Became a point of view
You lost your honesty
I lost the life in you
When its all too late
Its all too late
We walk and talk in time
I walk and talk in two
Where does the end of me
Become the start of you
When its all too late
Its all too late
What has happened to
The friend that I once knew
Has he gone away
