Tears Lyrics - Beautiful South

Tears have rolled down many good cheek 

So when it comes down to your turn 

Don't be afraid of admitting you're weak 

Cause these are tears that you earn 

Strangers, new neighbours, they'll both understand 

Who hasn't been there? Hold up your hand 

Strangers, neighbours, none of them planned 

Tears are the wage of this land 

When raindrop first fell to the ground 

It seemed like the brightest idea 

Even though teardrops were already around 

No one yet linked them with tear

Raindrop you notice when stood under trees 

Pin-drop you can hear if down on your knees 

But if teardrop anyone sees 

It's time, gentlemen please 

Scars you know take longer to heal 

Whilst tears you'll not see again 

So which do we try so hard to conceal 

The ones that make fools of us men 

Bricklayer, teacher, firefighter or vet 

One thing in common, the hankies they've wet 

But hidden away in the bedroom I bet 

Tears in public, not yet 

Drums have rolled for hundreds of years 

Since we've blown one another to bits 

Generals and soldiers still holding their ears 

Cause drumbeat and teardrop don't mix

When teardrops fall everyone in the band 

Makes out their music's slipped from the stand 

Leaving the singer, his head in his hands 

Public emotion, be damned
