Roland & Curt Interviewed

Curt Smith, Roland Orzabal

Shout

"I was hoping that somebody
Would say that, um
'Shout' was the single for '84
In the sense that there have been
There were so many protest singles
And I think 'Shout' was the
Most direct of all them"

Shout, shout, let it all out let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on (come on)
I'm talking to you, come on the Working Hour

This is the working hour
We are paid by those who
Learn by our mistakes
This is the working hour
We are paid by those who
Learn by our mistakes

"'The Working Hour' was thrown
Together during, um, rehearsals
- erm, rehearsals for our last tour erm
And it came together in half an hour that's-
And we've kept it the same pretty
Much ever since that's why it sounds- it
Actually sounds like a band playing"

This day and age for all and not for one
All lies and secrets put on, put on and on

Everybody Wants to Rule the World

"So I came in one- one day and they'd
Actually written a song around this beat
And, um, it was very commercial, so they
Said: 'Here it is, you're singing this
Go and do it' so I did"

It's my own design it's my own remorse
Help me to decide help make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls
Come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you

Mothers Talk

"It stems from two little
Ideas one is something
That English mothers say to their English
Children, which is, if you're pulling a face
You know, like children sometimes do
They say: 'You'll stay like that
When the wind changes'

That's one idea and the other idea is exactly
What you're talking about - 'When the Wind
Blows' - which is cartoon
Book by Raymond Briggs
Which is an anti-nuclear thing for instance
The lyrics 'When the weather starts to burn
Then you'll know that you're
In trouble' it's the
Closest we'll get to an anti-nuclear song"

Given that you pay the price
We can keep you young and tender
Following the footsteps of a funeral pyre
You were paid not to listen
Now your house is on fire

Wake me up when things get started
When everything starts to happen

I Believe

"One of my favourite songs on
The album very simple
A nice sort of jazz swing
To it now, I don't wanna harp on
About the lyrics or anything like that
But I think that they are the most potent
And powerful lyrics we've ever
Put onto vinyl"

I believe that if you thought for a moment
Took your time
You would not resign yourself
Resign yourself to your fate
And I believe that if it's
Written in the stars, that's fine
I can't deny that I’m a Virgo too

Broken

"'Broken' was originally an old b-side which
We put into overdrive again
That comes from doing a lot of live work with
Those numbers- ran into each other and worked
So well there's basically the
Same motif- piano motif
In each number that's why they went together"

Head Over Heels

"yeah, 'Head Over Heels' is
Probably the closest we'll
Ever get to a love song, heh
It's a love song that kind of goes
A bit perverse at the end"

I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against
The child in your face
Won't escape my attention
You keep your distance with a system of touch

"It was an instrumental originally, but em
Ian wrote
- Ian Stanley it's a beautiful instrumental
With just, you know, me creeping into a
Bit of lyrics in the middle, you know"

Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse
Soothe my feeling
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse
Soothe my feeling
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse
I feel it, soothe my feeling
Cumpleaños chica, no hay que preocuparse
Soothe it, soothe it, soothe my feeling
Now I feel it
