Currently listening to...

...the epic "Swords and Knives" by Tears For Fears. I just can't get this song out of my head. Ever since I went on a little Tears For Fears kick a few months ago (here), their music has been swirling around in my head. And the texture, movement, and gravitas of this song is rich and heavy.


A waking world of innocence
So grave those first born cries
When life begins with needles and pins
It ends with swords and knives

Oh dangerman, oh dangerman
Your blade fits like a glove
When forged in steel time cannot heal
That blood red bond of love

In times of trouble you're an open book
With the change in the way you look
And it's sad love's not enough to make things better

Turn the tables, we'll burn the fables
Lies beneath the visions and daydreams
Fooled by now, we mystify the past
Like a dream, like it never happened

When life begins with needles and pins
It ends with swords and knives
God save those born to die
