I don't have a real subject line for this post...

My head hurts. I have been stressed, sad, anxious, tired, and other feelings from the emotional spectrum. That doesn't help, of course. Tonight I was on my own for a few hours, since Chas was at a computer thingy, so I watched the 2 dvds I got from Amoeba Records in LA...Degrassi Junior High (Season 1, Disc 1) and Tears For Fears: Scenes From The Big Chair. Sort of an 80s night I guess. The documentary on the TFF dvd was a combination of videos and interviews and live performances. I totally lost it when they got to "I Believe" though I had been feeling a bit teary on other songs like "Memories Fade" and "The Hurting" among others. I broke down after the first verse. Funnily enough, the song I *always* cry to is "Watch Me Bleed" from their first album, The Hurting. I am not one for posting lyrics, but here they are, behind the cut.



I Believe


I believe that when the hurting and the pain has gone
We will be strong, Oh yes we will be strong
And I believe that if I'm crying while I write these words
Is it absurd ? Or am I being real
I believe that if you knew just what these tears were for
They would just pour like every drop of rain
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe

I believe that if you thought for a moment, took your time
You would not resign yourself, resign yourself to your fate
And I believe that if it's written in the stars, that's fine
I can't deny that I'm a Virgo too
I believe that if your bristling while you hear this song
I could be wrong or have I hit a nerve ?
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe

I believe that maybe somewhere in the darkness
In the nighttime, In the storm
In the casino
Casino spanish eyes
And I believe, no I can't believe that every time you hear a new born scream
You just can't see the shaping of a life
The shaping of a life
