A Sense of Doubt blog post #4046 - My Demons - Three from Tears for Fears - Music Monday 2603.16

A friend recommended these three Tears for Fears songs after seeing them in concert.

So here they are.

I didn't know Tears for Fears was still making music.

Also, they live and/or operate out of Bath, England, which is where a favorite author lives, who I am currently reading and posting about, Kieron Gillen.

These songs are pretty good.

Not hitting me like The Hurting and to a lesser extent but still with affection for Songs from the Big Chair and the often shared, covered, and played "Everybody Wants to the Rule the World."

But The Hurting. That was a pivotal album for me.

That's all.

Thanks for tuning in.

My Demons

Song by Tears for Fears ‧ 2022

LYRICS

I am the demolition man

I am the smoking gun

Why is my name in lights when my name is spelt wrong?

Only needs an attitude

A longitude and latitude

They will always find you when your cell phone is on

The satellites in space that spy on us with charm and grace

The middle man, the little man, the butcher and his dog

Turned on my beady eye, no need to wonder why

Go faster, young master, you're breathing disaster

'Cause these human hands need a human touch

'Cause my demons don't get out that much

The first world thinkers

Behind the blinkers

The hand that always tinkers with the bullet and the vest

Wait for the shake up

The make up and the break up

The bursting of the vein that brings the blood to the chest

Ain't got no appetite

Full up on beans and rice

A belly full of gasoline and a tongue that's turned black

Don't leave me all alone

I threw your dog a bone

Go faster, young master, you're breathing disaster

'Cause these human hands need a human touch

'Cause my demons don't get out that much

What a man to do?

What a man to trust?

We're not one of you, you're not one of us

Grinding the bones, breathing the dust

We're not one of you, you're not one of us

What a man to do? (Angels gonna burn their wings again)

What a man to trust?

You're not one of you, you're not one of us

Grinding the bones, breathing the dust (angels gonna burn their wings again)

You're not one of you, you're not one of us

Go faster, young master, you're breathing disaster

'Cause these human hands need a human touch

'Cause my demons don't get out that much

Go faster, young master, you're breathing disaster

'Cause these human hands need a human touch

'Cause my demons don't get out that much

'Cause my demons don't get out that much

- Days ago: MOM = 3910 days ago & DAD = 564 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
