Elemental was the first new Tears For Fears album in four years, following 1989's The Seeds of Love. However, despite being released under the Tears For Fears moniker, it can technically be seen as a solo effort by Roland Orzabal as Curt Smith had left the band by this time.
Lyrics:
Time will swallow
Your precious time
Like magic create the future
What makes man so fickle ?
Who put the daggers in those eyes ?
Was it to learn
Through dark days of struggle ?
Was it to burn
To burst all our bubbles ?
Thunder and rain
Well the cynicle flame will it heat, stick and blister ?
Thunder and rain
Evangelistic brother
Should be banging a tambourine
Go wash your hands and fingers
Till your mind is clean
Was it your fate
To sleep like a normal ?
Time and decay
No man is immortal
Thunder and rain
Boredom and pain lit the cynical flame
Will it heat stick and blister ?
Thunder and rain
Still try to resist the pessimist
The pessimist no no
And these things I find
In the back of my mind
Where time lasts forever
I get all mixed
Think I'm all mankind
Listen Mr Pessimister
With your Catholic taste
Oh listen Mr Pessimister Pessimister
We do not relate
Listen Mr Pessimister, Pessimister, Pessimister
Mr Pessimister

Love TFF. Their 80's classics can not be ignored.
In spite of that, Mr. Pessimist is easily my all-time favorite track.

@johnnycheck99 I disagree. While there were indeed many great songs recorded between 83-89 when Curt was in the band, I think there are some songs from the 2 subsequent albums that were just as good.
