The Working Hour by Tears For Fears

About The Working Hour

This song originated from 1984, when the band (the full ensemble who would later back them up on the Songs from the big chair-tour) was touring with The hurting. Drummer Manny Elias came up with the basic drumpattern and suggested it to Roland. Roland took some unused chords from keyboardist Ian Stanly, wrote lyrics to it and took it from there. It became his way of getting the bad feeling he had about Tears For Fears becoming a business, and having to tour the world in your early twenties, off his chest. .

The Working Hour Lyrics

[01:50.36] These things that I've been told can rearrange
[02:09.11] My world, my doubt in time but inside out
[02:19.98] This is the working hour
[02:23.08] We are paid by those who learn by our mistakes
[02:29.42] This is the working hour
[02:32.37] We are paid by those who learn by our mistakes
[02:52.30] This day and age for all and not for one
[03:00.85] All lies and secrets, put on, put on and on
[03:11.74] This is the working hour
[03:14.95] We are paid by those who learn by our mistakes
[03:21.37] This is the working hour
[03:24.37] We are paid by those who learn by our mistakes
[03:32.04] Fear is such a vicious thing
[03:36.87] It wraps me up in chains
[03:41.47] Find out, find out, what this fear is about
[03:51.28] Find out, find out, what this fear is about
[04:28.93] Find out, find out, what this fear is about
[04:55.64]
