Year Of The Knife - Lyrics - Tears For Fears

Tears for Fears are an English new wave band formed in 1981 by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. Founded after the dissolution of their first band, the mod-influenced Graduate, they were initially associated with the new wave synthesizer bands of the early 1980s but later branched out into mainstream rock and pop, which led to international chart success. They were part of the MTV-driven Second British Invasion of the US.

Hallelujah, the king is dead. He said "Love was the knife" And now he'll dream some magic queen might try and save his life They say his famous final words Came from the heart of the man He made his bed on love denied He played Jeckyll and Hyde till the day he died Too late for the young gun To lead a simple life Too late for the young gun This is the year of the knife See the mountains crumble Feel the fire go cold Summer will turn to winter Love will turn to stone They say his famous final words Came from the heart of man I made his bed on love denied Now I ain't gonna sleep tonight! Too late for the young gun To lead a simple life Too late for the young gun The sun and the moon The sun and the moon The wind... and the rain This is the year of the knife Too late, much too late Too late for the young gun... This is... the year of the knife.
