Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Tears For Fears or about the 1980s in general.

A waking world of innocence
So grave those first born cries
When life begins with needles and pins
It ends with Swords and Knives
Oh dangerman, oh dangerman
Your blade fits like a glove
When forged in steel
Time cannot heal
That blood red bond of love
In times of trouble you’re an open book
With the change in the way you look
And its sad love’s not enough to make things better
Turn the tables, we’ll burn the fables
Lies beneath the visions and daydreams
Fooled by now, we mystify the past
Like a dream, like it never happened
When life begins with needles and pins
It ends with Swords and Knives
God save those born to die
