#MusicMonday MEMORIES FADE by TEARS FOR FEARS

Happy Monday!! They’ve been made so much more bearable by Music Monday, hosted by Drew over at THE TATTOOED BOOK GEEK , and it’s a weekly chance to share a favourite song or video!!

Back to Tears for Fears for me today, and one song I’ve been repeat listening to recently is Memories Fade!

There’s only need
I love your need
So much I’m losing me
I cannot see the reason for the Pain
With hungry joy
I’ll be your toy
Just hoping you will play
Without hope my body starts to fail

Memories fade but the scars still linger
Goodbye my friend
Will I ever love again
Memories fade but the scars still linger

I cannot grow
I cannot move
I cannot fell my age
The vice like grip of tension holds me fast
Engulfed by you
What can I do
When History’s my cage
Look foward to a future in the past

The more I talk
The more I say
The less you seem to hear
I’m speechless in a most peculiar way
Your mind is weak
Your need is great
And nothing is too dear
For you to use to take the Pain away
Memories Fade
No don’t pretend you can justify the end
Memories fade but the scars still linger

#MusicMonday WOMAN IN CHAINS by TEARS FOR FEARS

Happy Music Monday!!  This is a tag hosted by the fabulous Drew at The Tattooed Book Geek every Monday – giving you the chance to share a favourite song/video! Join in the fun!!

I’ve recently rediscovered my love for Tears For Fears – so many amazing songs and I’ve chosen Woman In Chains this week. Such a powerful song

You better love loving and you better behave
You better love loving and you better behave
Woman in Chains
Woman in Chains

Calls her man the Great White Hope
Says she’s fine, she’ll always cope
Woman in Chains
Woman in Chains

Well I feel lying and waiting is a poor man’s deal
And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel
It’s a world gone crazy
Keeps Woman in Chains

Trades her soul as skin and bones
Sells the only thing she owns
Woman in Chains
Woman in Chains

Men of Stone
Men of Stone

Well I feel deep in your heart there are wounds Time can’t heal
And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
Well you know what I mean
It’s a world gone crazy
Keeps Woman in Chains

It’s under my skin but out of my hands
I’ll tear it apart but I won’t understand
I will not accept the Greatness of Man

It’s a world gone crazy
Keeps Woman in Chains

So Free Her
So Free Her
