Head Over Heels Lyrics
[Originally by Tears For Fears]
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 via the system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration could I need you this much
Oh you're wasting my time
You're just wasting time.
Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away.
I made a fire and watching it burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No no no have you no ambition
My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh I feel so...
Something happens and I'm head over heels.
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away.
And it's my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover.
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 via the system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration could I need you this much
Oh you're wasting my time
You're just wasting time.
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away.
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No no no have you no ambition
My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh I feel so...
I never find out until I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away.
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover.

Although this is a U2 song, not by Kids in the Way, I definitely liked the remake better. But I still don't know why they chose this particular song. Any ideas?
sorry, buddy...but this is a Tears for Fears song...not U2...look in the cd cover...it says "Written by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith"
but KitW definately did an amazing job in turning a synth-pop song into screamo...
I love this song
yeah I thought that KITW wrote it, but I was like flippin' channels on my XM and I saw the title and so I was like 'this isn't kids in the way and I saw the artist and I was like WOW Kitw did a WAY better jod @ this song...I guess it's b/c I'm like a HxC fan or sumting idk
Head over Heels is one of my fav songs from the 80's and Kids in the Way is my fav band, so when I bought the apparitions of melody cd and saw they had made a cover of the song, I was beside myself and although I love tears for fears I personally think the Kids in the Way version is better
YouresoIntricate: here's the reason they chose to cover this song....
(Remember when that one bully snorted a line off the other bullys palm and sneered at the child molester masquerading as a motivational speaker as he was introduced to the only two decent teachers in school who were understandably preoccupied by the uncomfortably sexual gyrations of the prepubescent dance troupe? Sure you do. Its the trippy introductory montage to Donnie Darko, and its soundtracked by the lush melancholia of Tears for Fears Head Over Heels. Like the rest of us, Kids in the Way frontman David Pelsue got a major I Love the 80s rush from the sequence; unlike the rest of us, he acted on it. I think every record we've ever made, even when we were just an indie band making crappy demos on our own, we always talked about covering a Tears for Fears song, he recalls. When you listen to a record or you watch a movie and you have those moments where youre like, That was just amazing, that was one of those moments for us. We were like, Weve gotta do Head Over Heels. Thats the song were doing.) - from the bands page on PureVolume.com
i like this song but i think i like the tears for fears version more
Tears for Fears rocked back in da'days. But, looking at what the message is and the style of music that KITW has, makes a pretty good image of the message. Very meaningful!
