All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World, Mad World
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World, Mad World
(Tears for Fears)I know that Adam Lambert covered this for AI yesterday, but really, that's not the point of me posting this song. This song's lyrics.
Jelly mentioned that I was bordering on fangirl. Meh, maybe. I think I was bordering on fangirl with Heath Ledger, too.
The thing about Adam Lambert is that he has the ability to make people cry (or laugh, or whatever), not only because he can sing, but because he can act. Again, there's always that gap between singer and artist. Actors are also artists, which is why this transition probably wasn't as hard.
Never mind.
