Shout (U.K. 7" Version) Lyrics by Tears for Fears

Edited Songs from the Big Chair

1984

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith]
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith]
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on

[Verse 1: Roland Orzabal]
In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really, really ought to know

[Verse 2: Roland Orzabal]
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to jump for joy

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith]
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on

[Verse 3: Roland Orzabal]
They gave you life
And in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith]
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith]
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on

[Interlude]

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, Curt Smith]
Shout, shout, let it all out
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on

[Verse 4: Roland Orzabal]
And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to break your heart

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, Roland Orzabal]
Shout, shout, let it all out
Break your heart
These are the things I can do without
Really love to break your heart
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith]
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you so come on

[Interlude - Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith]
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on

[Chorus: Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, Roland Orzabal]
They really really ought to know
Shout, shout, let it all out
Really, really ought to know
These are the things I can do without
They really, really ought
Come on
They really, really ought to know
I'm talking to you, come on
