Mad World - Gary Jules / Tears For Fears (Cover by Jasmine Thompson)

瘋狂的世界
為什麼大人們總是忙忙碌碌
過著一陳不變的日子,每日卻又早早起床為此樂而不疲
這世界很瘋狂
但我卻也說不出什麼反駁世界的大道理
只能繼續依循著世界的規則,生存下去

這是一首翻唱曲,原唱是Gary Jules,節奏緩緩前進,可感受出更多的無奈又帶點飄渺(文末附連結)
All around me are familiar faces
周遭都是熟悉的臉龐
Worn out places

破敗的地方

Worn out faces
經歷風霜的的臉
Bright and early for their daily races
早起為了每日的競爭
Going nowhere
不去哪裡
Going nowhere
哪裏也不去

And their tears are filling up their glasses
他們的淚水裝滿了玻璃杯
No expression
沒有表情
No expression

Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow

No tomorrow

No tomorrow
明天也不會來

And I find it kind of funny

Halargian world (❅註)
虛幻的世界
Mad world

❅ 註Halargian world:這是由Chris Hughes 或 Ross Cullum在收錄The Huring時,想像出來的世界,Curt Smith加在歌詞中當作一個玩笑,最後仍保留下來。 
Halarge was an imaginary planet invented by either Chris Hughes or Ross Cullum during the recording of The Hurting. I added it as a joke during the lead vocal session, and we kept it. And there you have it.
