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
Baby your deal is surreal just like lightning, streakin on
Heaven still is a state of mind, where did we go wrong?
What happen to those old convictions
Went up in smoke
Baby, while your back breaks slowly
By the skin of your teeth
Youll be under their thumb
Moving from this state of friction
We all got stars in our eyes
But you know by now your one restriction
Is at the edge of the sky
Keep shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
Baby we better start
cause baby were alive
New star
Shadows are still when the will
Has no strength left to carry on
Youre flat on you back with your heart attack
Where the hell have you gone?
The pressure and pain, all the fire and ice
When youre playing a game, with the rats and the mice
While your back breaks slowly
By the skin of your teeth
Youll be under their thumb
New star
Shining like a new star
Baby we better start
cause baby were alive
New star
New star
Shining like a new star
Baby we better start
cause baby were alive
New star
Dreaming so clever in all kinds of weather
Where did you mention that you buried your treasure
After the pleasure of givin is gone
Youll be as one under the same sun
Shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
Shining like a new star
New star
Shining like a new star
Baby we better start
cause baby were alive
New star
cause baby were alive
