Sowing The Seeds Of Love

Biography:

Tears for Fears, named after a phrase found in Arthur Janov's book Prisoners of Pain, is a British pop/rock outfit formed in 1981 in Bath, England. Founder members Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith had been friends since their early teens and had already been in the shortlived ska band Graduate. Initially associated with the new wave and synthesiser bands of the early 1980s, Tears For Fears' earlier work, as evidenced on their 1983 debut album The Hurting , was explicitly based around the emotional angst of adolescence.

TEARS FOR FEARS: "SOWING THE SEEDS OF LOVE"
(Roland Orzabal / Curt Smith)

[Verse 1]

Gm7 F
High time we made a stand
EbMaj7 Am/D
And shook up the views of the common man
EbMaj7 Am/D
And the love train, rides from coast to coast
EbMaj7 Am/D
DJ's the man we love the most

Gm7 F
Could you be could you be squeaky clean
EbMaj7 Am7
And smash every hope of democracy
EbMaj7 Am/D
As the headline says you're free to choose
EbMaj7 Am/D
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
EbMaj7 Am/D
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues

[Chorus]

C CMaj7 Am
Sowing the seeds of love
AmMaj7 FMaj7
Seeds of love
Ab G7
Sowing the seeds

(repeat)

[Verse 2]
(same chords as verse one)

I spy, tears in their eyes
They look to the skies for some kind of divine
intervention, food goes to waste
So nice to eat, so nice to taste

Politician granny with your high ideals
Have you no idea how the majority feels
So without love and a promised land
We're fools to the rules of the government plan
Kick out the style, bring back the jam

[Chorus]

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

FMaj7 EbMaj7
Feel the pain, talk about it
FMaj7 EbMaj7
If you're a worried man, then shout about it
FMaj7 EbMaj7
Open hearts, feel about it
FMaj7 EbMaj7
Open minds, think about it
FMaj7 EbMaj7
Everyone, read about it
FMaj7 EbMaj7
Everyone, scream about it
FMaj7 EbMaj7
Everyone, everyone
FMaj7 EbMaj7
Everyone, read about it
Eb D7
Read it in the books, in the crannies and the nooks there are books to read

(Chorus omit words)

[Bridge]

Am7 D
Sowing the seeds of love
Am7 D
Sowing the seeds
Am7 D
Sowing the seeds of love
Am7 D
Sowing the seeds of love
D Ddim G5 D
Mister England sowing the seeds of love

[Verse 4]

Gm7 F
Time to eat all your words
EbMaj7 Am/D
Swallow your pride, Open your eyes
Gm7 F
Time to eat all your words
EbMaj7 Am/D
Swallow your pride, Open your eyes
Gm7 F
High time we made a stand
EbMaj7 Am/D
And shook up the views of the common man
EbMaj7 Am/D
And the love train, rides from coast to coast
EbMaj7 Am/D
Every minute of every hour
EbMaj7 Am/D
I love a sunflower
EbMaj7 Am/D EbMaj7 Am/D EbMaj7 Am/D EbMaj7 Am/D
And I believe in love power, love power, love
power

[Chorus]

[Ending]

Ab G7
Sowing the seeds
Ab G7
An end to need
Ab G7
And the politics of greed
