I don't know why but this is one of my favorite songs
The "sad song" thread reminded me of it

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tommorow, no tommorow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

Donnie Darko

the movie is great, but the song is getting old fast.

Yeh I liked it way back when I first saw donnie darko and it was a lovely song but since it was released here and was our xmas No.1 it has been so overplayed it's kinda ruined it for me.

I still like this bit though...
I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had

Great song... I like the TFF version... mm. 80's.

Since it got released as a single though, it's not as special, I don't like it as much as I used to.

yeh the TFF version is cool! Not sure about the dancing in the vid tho!
I hate when some people think it's original by Gary Jules! That always bugs me! Those younguns :
And I can't believe that anyone let Alex Parks record it for her album! She trashes every song she sings! She's already ruined Coldplays Yellow for me!!!

They never play it on the radio here so it still sounds good to me

yeah same iliked it aaaages ago! i saw donnie darko yonks ago! but now tha songs onli ok.

My favorite line is:

"Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere
Going nowhere."

I like the Gary Jules version better than TFF. That dude sounds just like Michael Stipe.

-Smitten Kitten-

he does actually. i never thought of that.

I prefer the Gary Jules version too.I donr like ttf.I dont like most of that new romantic kind of music.

Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

There my fav lines.
