I wanted to be with you alone And talk about the weather But traditions I can trace against the child in your face Won't escape my attention You keep your distance with a system of touch And gentle persuasion I'm lost in admiration could I need you this much Oh, you're wasting my time You're just wasting time Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out till I'm head over heels Something happens and I'm head over heels Ah don't take my heart Don't break my heart Don't throw it away I made a fire and watching burn Thought of your future With one foot in the past now just how long will it last No no no have you no ambition My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air And dreaming I'm a doctor It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand Oh I feel so... Something happens and I'm head over heels And this my four leaf clover I'm on the line, one open mind This is my four leaf clover ||

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 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 source: [|azlyrics] || media type="youtube" key="DR91Rj1ZN1M" height="349" width="425" ||
