Tears for Fears - Going To California - Full Concert - Originally Released in 1990, this is the band at the Santa Barbara County Bowl in May 1990 during their "Seeds of Love" World Tour. The performance also features American vocalist/pianist Oleta Adams who had worked with the band on their album The Seeds of Love and joined them for the subsequent world tour.


I believe that when the hurting and the pain has gone
We will be strong
Oh yes we will be strong, yeah
And I believe that if I'm crying while I write these words
Is it absurd?
Or am I being real
I believe that if you knew just what these tears were for
They would just pour
Like every drop of rain
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe
I believe that if you thought for a moment, took your time
You would not resign yourself
Resign yourself to your fate, no no no, no no, no no
And I believe that if it's written in the stars, that's fine
I can't deny
That I'm a Virgo too
I believe that if you're bristling while you hear this song
I could be wrong
Or have I hit a nerve?
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe
I believe that maybe somewhere in the darkness
In the nighttime, in the storm
In the casino
Casino Spanish eyes
And I believe, no I can't believe that every time you hear a newborn scream
You just can't see the shaping of a life
The shaping of a life
It's too late baby now
It's too late
Yeah

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, just, 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, don't, don't throw it away
Throw it away, 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?
Now, now, now, have you no ambitions?
My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be a 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, don't, don't throw it away
And this is my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover
In my mind's eye
One little boy, one little man
Funny how time flies
