Tears For Fears - Boy From School Lyrics






And I was a boy from school
Helplessly helping all the rules
And there was a boy at school
Hopelessly wrestling all his fools

And there was a girl at school
Blending all the words she learned from home
Nothing could keep her a child
Long hours though you know we try

We tried, but we didn't have long
We tried, but we don't belong

We tried, but we didn't have long
We tried, but we don't belong

Now I met you on the street
Heartlessly breaking rules we meet
Lives are found but loves are lost
Say goodbye to nothing everything caused

Now I find you on the street
Breaking rules hopelessly we meet
Lives are found but loves are lost
Say goodbye to everything nothing caused

We tried, but we didn't have long
We tried, but we don't belong

I got, I got lost
You said this was the way back

We tried, but we didn't have long

    Boy From School"
    (originally by Hot Chip)

    And I was a boy from school
    Helplessly helping all the rules
    And there was a boy at school
    Hopelessly wrestling all his fools

    And there was a girl at school
    blaming all the words she learned from home
    Nothing could keep her a child
    Long hours don’t you know we tried

    We tried, but we didn't have long
    We tried, but we don't belong

    We tried, but we didn't have long

    Now I met you on the street
    Harmlessly breaking rules we meet
    Lives are found but loves are lost
    Say goodbye to nothing everything cost’s

    We tried, but we didn't have long
    We tried, but we don't belong

    We tried, but we didn't have long
    We tried, but we don't belong

    You said this was the way back
    I got, I got lost.. - repeat-

    Hey, sorry for stalking you, but I think you misunderstood me in the other forum. I believe we're completely on the same page regarding the truth movement but I didn't hear any reply.

    You're referring to "wobble bass." (from wiki) One characteristic of certain strands of dubstep is the wobble bass, often referred to as the "wub", where an extended bass note is manipulated rhythmically. This style of bass is typically produced by using a low-frequency oscillator to manipulate certain parameters of a synthesiser such as volume, distortion or filter cutoff. The resulting sound is a timbre that is punctuated by rhythmic variations in volume, filter cutoff, or distortion. This style of bass is a driving factor in some variations of dubstep, particularly at the more club-friendly end of the spectrum.

    The original is by Hot Chip, this is a cover.
