Worlds In A Tangle

Fleetwood Mac · Other Songs - Fleetwood Mac

Now you know the world's all in a tangle, man

Everybody begin to sing this song

The Reds are just over yonder boys

And we ain't gonna be here long



That's why I'm gonna build myself a cave

Move down in the ground

When I go into the army, babe

Won't be no more Reds around



Now you know I got my personary man

I've got my class cattoo

I begin to feel so worried

I just don't know what to do



That's why I'm gonna build myself a cave

Move down in the ground

When I go into the army, babe

There won't be no more reds around me



Now you know the world's all in a tangle man

Everybody begin to sing this song

The Reds are just over yonder boys

And we ain't gonna be here long



That's why I'm gonna build myself a cave

Move down in the ground

When I go into the army, babe

There won't be no more Reds around me

Worlds In A Tangle

Fleetwood Mac's "Worlds In A Tangle" stands as a poignant example of the band's late-career introspection, blending soft rock with folk sensibilities. Released during the period of their 1990 album *Behind The Mask*, the track reflects the group's continued exploration of personal turmoil and emotional complexity, a hallmark of their discography from the 1970s through the 1990s. The song features the band's signature interplay between Lindsey Buckingham's driving rhythms and Christine McVie's emotive vocals, capturing a moment where the members navigated both professional challenges and private struggles. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to convey universal feelings of confusion and longing without relying on specific narrative details, making it a staple for fans of classic rock and soft rock alike.
