Tears For Fears - Until I Drown Lyrics






Took a long time to mend
Took a long time to make amends
Funny how the story goes
Strip a man bare and burn his clothes

Time is all I crave
It comes in waves
I will be here until I drown

System's on overload
Goes to bed warm but wakes up cold
What a bloody cross to bare
Time on my hands but I don't care

Days are all the same
They wax and wane
I will be here until I drown

Time is all I crave
It comes in waves

  42. o.... ....

    This song needs to be twice as long ... I love it!

  43. S.... B....

    Only just discovered this fantastic and hypnotic TFF track - genius

  44. J.... A....

    Great sharing hunting for it for long time

  45. A.... ....

    why on earth would someone downvote this?

  46. U.... S....

    Ssrgio sa

  47. A.... P....

    Até Me Afogar / Levou muito tempo para consertar / Levou muito tempo para cicatrizar
    É engraçado como a história se passa / Despe um homem nu e queima suas roupa
    Quem já não passou por isso heim Roland? A letra é de uma poesia unica! Amor infinito por TEARS FOR FEARS!

  48. G.... i....

    Why in the world was this left off RATKOS?

    G.... i....

    it was a concept album.. and this song doesnt fit the theme so well i guess

  49. A.... P....

    O que mais me encanta no Tears For Fears é essa diversidade de acordes! O arranjo fantantico! A voz sobrenatural do Roland Orzabal, forte e ao mesmo tempo doce e tipo... solitária, sofrida, carente!! Todo dia é dia de ouvir e sonhar com Tears For Fears, Amor eterno e unico e intenso!!!

    A.... P....

    Andrezza Parlatore "único" disse tudo

    A.... P....

    Juro já teria me matado se não existisse essa banda!!!!

    A.... P....

    Sim, são arranjos tão diversos e bons, às vezes Tff parecem várias bandas boas em uma.

  50. H.... M....

    Linda música!! Melodia e a voz de Roland... maravilhosa!!!! TFF 😍💜💜💚

  51. s.... ....

    Killer song, Tears is one of my favs. All this licensing and corporate BS really pisses me off. What's more aggravating is the youth today that listen to all this rap crap.. geto junk. I moved to southern CA 4 years ago and when I'm at a red light in my car, You never hear people playing cool bands like (Tears, or Cold Play, Police, Floyd, Genesis, Peter Gabriel) or anything with any kind of thought. I hate southern California. Seems like 99% of people here listen to garbage. Everyone here is into all this mainstream country crap. I like some country, but the music you hear out here is all this commercial American Idol BS. The type of music one listens to says a LOT about their intellect. The youth in CA today is not open minded. I've shown a few people Tears and other great bands, and they don't understand it.
    Anyway, great song. I've got every CD from old Tears and Roland's work.

    s.... ....

    I live in Southern CA and you definitely will hear TFF playing lound in my car. I know I'm the exception.

    s.... ....

    Well said and Amen to that.

    s.... ....

    I agree with you 100%, I've always felt since I was 12 that the music you listen to says a lot about you, and what your lifestyle is. But I often refrain from sharing the music I like with my generation...beside that I feel like the music I listen to is apart of my mind, and as you said my "intellect", so I will not share the music I listen to with people who are not like minded.

  52. T.... J....

    OK both of them obviously but curt to start with & it didn't last long.

  53. T.... J....

    it's curt singing it not roland.

    T.... J....

    No, it`s not... Roland has many different vocal tones. And by the way, Curt was no longer in in Tff when they launched this b side song.
    Peace

    T.... J....

    +Samuel Mello . oh ok. that's amazing . it just sounds soo much like curt.

    T.... J....

    Dude, it's Roland. Listen to the tenor.

    T.... J....

    💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

  54. M.... H....

    puxa não existe nenhum video do roland tocando essa musica ao vivo...

  55. S.... H....

    Truly beautiful track. Roland Orzabal is a Very, very underrated lyricist, and artist.

    S.... H....

    No he's not. People that like his sound rate him highly, that's all that's needed, there's certainly enough fondness for the band for them to have toured recently. I don't think you need worry, his résumé is impressive.

    S.... H....

    @Wolf Lair A very fair (and diplomatic) reply. There are many I speak to who only know their most popular works. Those who know, know! :)

  56. M.... X....

    O repertório do show no Rock'n Rio é muito restrito a canções que foram criadas há quase 40 anos atrás, o repertório mais contemporâneo é infinitamente superior ao que eles fizeram no passado. Queremos Raoul / God's mistake / Laid so low / Falling down / Ladybird / Não aguento mais shout, nem EWTRTW...

  57. p.... a....

    Curto esses caras desde os anos 80, e continuo curtindo. Hoje, os grupos não chegam nem aos pés dessa banda

  58. J.... B....

    Awesome.

  59. b.... ....

    Sounds similar to One of the songs off 'tomcats screaming outside.'

  60. V.... B....

    rock in rio ai vamos nos....

  61. V.... B....

    Love it

  62. A.... S....

    mudanças. devemos se acostumar com elas ou fazer parte delas

  63. R.... L....

    Beautiful Song . Enjoy

  64. C.... D....

    Really nice job! Thx

  65. H.... L....

    progressive !

  66. C.... M....

    melody is awesome

  67. F.... B....

    You wouldn't believe how many times I hum this song...sitting in my 6x6 cubicle....fuck.

    F.... B....

    Fancy BobbyBob if I was there I'd hum it with you

  68. v.... ....

    Where's the quote in the description from? This is the only B-side that comes close to the songs on the album.

  69. n.... c....

    I think this is one of Roland's best songs, and it would be interesting to hear why he left it off the album.

    n.... c....

    Amazing song

  70. I.... K....

    DON't worry! You schould now it.
    The have that the man are telling isn't true and only their schow-buissness to
    make themselfs intresting and make more money!

  71. V.... D....

    ritorneremo 30 anni indietro e rifare tutto quello che ho fatto fino ad oggi

  72. T.... T....

    Good video to a great song, thanks for the post!

  73. r.... ....

    Gorgeous song, I wish they could have put it on the album somehow...

  74. s.... ....

    Amazing song.

  75. t.... ....

    Love this song !!! love this video !!! thank you !! :)

  76. F.... B....

    Great song!

  77. J.... O....

    I like RATKOS as is. This song is nice but its sound does not fit as well with the other
    more thematic songs on the album.

  78. C.... d....

    oh yes, such a good song that i did not know. i loved it! roland is a genious!

  79. M.... B....

    Fantastic unknown song, a hidden jewel.

  80. w.... ....

    this and 'war of attrition' are the best songs from RATKOS, but war of attrition is no longer on youtube, help, someone tech savvy put it back up here please....

    w.... ....

    +whelanttt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wXrrWGaT7w War of Attrition link!

    w.... ....

    +Samuel Mello Thanks for that Samuel, much appreciated, but when I click on it, it says 'video private', not sure what that's about??????

    w.... ....

    +whelanttt Well, the video is no longer private! Enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wXrrWGaT7w

    w.... ....

    +Samuel Mello Ah brilliant, thanks for that good sir, great job on the pics, really looking forward to the new album, apparently it's finished.....

    w.... ....

    @whelanttt Thank you! Can't wait for it! 

  81. J.... M....

    The best song from the Ratkos era. Ironically is not on Ratkos album :-( . Well at last is in the Remastered Version!

  82. T.... ....

    This :)

  83. s.... ....

    Cherry pop version of this album is bloody brilliant 18(?) tracks!

  84. R.... R....

    I am huge TFF fan and had not heard this before. Thanks for sharing, and WOW! This is a great song. (And it's Roland without Curt, by the way, although I love them both).

  85. S.... G....

    dans mon album , il n'y a pas cette chanson ?!?! 

    S.... G....

    Stéphane Guisnel normal, c'est une face B.

  86. s.... ....

    What single is this the b-side?

  87. T.... ....

    sadly. this song wont be heard by anyone, but dave Matthews crap will.. roland will blow those cooperate guys out the water.

    T.... ....

    Took the words right out of my mouth. I never understood the following of Dave Matthew and bands like Red Hot Ch-peppers commercial crap.

  88. S.... B....

    This song is brilliant. Haunting and soulful.  Roland writes his heart for sure. 

  89. M.... J....

    Sounds like Rolands got a cold??...probably cos' it's Curt Smith!

    M.... J....

    Mike jenkins. ha! told you . all u silly people who kept saying it's roland. makes right it's curt.

    M.... J....

    Get your fucking facts straight. Curt is nowhere near this level, which is only the job of none other than Roland and Alan Griffiths. That's Elemental, that's RATKOS, that's TFF without Curt: Pure mind-blowing songs.

  90. K.... P....

    How did this song not make it to the album? I don't understand. It is so frigging fantastic! 

  91. m.... ....

    Beautiful, but Roland sounds like he's got a cold...

    m.... ....

    Martin. it's curt.

  92. D.... M....

    Sad how this was a b-side from about 15 years ago, but it would have been the best thing to hear on the radio in years...

  93. D.... D....

    awesome job for an awesome song!!!

  94. D.... U....

    Great Comment.

    This is gorgeous. Beautiful vid for a beautiful song.

  98. S.... C....

    first time i heard this song, i pressed repeat 100 times until I couldn't stand it anymore, and then I played it another 100 times. soundtrack of my life.

  99. B.... ....

    this is by far one of the best tff songs especially from rolands solo years, it just works really well
