Boy George Lyrics
God & Love lyrics - Boy George & Culture Club
Here we are
Wanna feel you giving more to me
Kiss me like you mean it
Pull a white flag from your sleeve
When I fall down
Will it fall in your direction
Will I own you till the morning
Or till you sleep
God and love must be done
God and love must be done
God and love must be done
God and love must be done
(God and love must be done)
(God and love must be done)
Here you go
Crucified and barely breathing
Come to tell me that you're leaving
Leave nothin' behind
My name is the messenger
My name is the truth
When it feels like the love is cold
Wanna shout it from the roof
God and love must be done
God and love must be done
God and love must be done
God and love must be done
(God and love must be done)
(God and love must be done)
My name is the messenger
My name is the truth
My name is the messenger
My name is the truth
My name is the messenger
My name is the truth
My name is the messenger
My name is the truth
Bad Blood lyrics - Boy George & Culture Club
His kingdom's got its own rules
Not from a word out of place
They talk behind your back
But never to your face
Tough love is a killer
I see it takin' ya down
Are you feelin' brave
Wanna be erased
Are you feelin' brave
You wanna talk but do you want the truth
Bad blood drippin' on your dancin' shoes
You own the world, nothin' left to prove
Bad blood drippin' on your dancin' shoes
Bad blood
Bad blood
Bad blood
Bad blood
(Bad blood)
Everybody's talkin' now
(Too much talkin' now)
Is there anything to say
Me, I'm trippin' on humanity
(Trippin', trippin', trippin')
Show me your face
You wanna talk but do you want the truth
Bad blood drippin' on your dancin' shoes
You own the world, nothin' left to prove
Bad blood drippin' on your dancin' shoes
Bad blood
Bad blood
Bad blood
Bad blood
(Bad blood)
Will you ever take me to that place
Bodies hyped up for the human race
Will you ever take me to that place
Bodies hyped up for the human race
(Ah!) Human race
Bad blood
Bad blood
Bad blood
Bad blood
Bad blood
(Bad blood) Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Bad blood
Bad blood
(Bad blood)
Human Zoo lyrics - Boy George & Culture Club
A memory, a night alone
A raining telephone
What did you say to make him leave
To be here on your own
This emptiness, it fills you up
It's like a tidal wave
After all this time
Maybe you just can't change
Leavin', stayin', anticipatin'
Tell me what you feelin'
What you really feelin'
Look around the human zoo
There's somebody there for you
Look around the corner
In the shadows, look behind you too
Look where love has never been
Where love will never go
Look around the human zoo
There's somebody there to hold
Hold me, yeah yeah yeah
A painful truth, a letter sent
What did you mean to say?
I talk too much until it hurts
And then you run
These fireworks, the silent rage
This anger in your face
After all this time
Maybe you just can't change
Leavin', stayin', anticipatin'
Tell me what you feelin'
What you really feelin'
Look around the human zoo
There's somebody there for you
Look around the corner
In the shadows, look behind you too
Look where love has never been
Where love will never go
Look around the human zoo
There's somebody there to hold
Let me go where love won't go
Let me dream where love won't dream
Let me go
Tell me what you feelin'
What you really feel inside
Look around the human zoo
There's somebody there for you
Look around the corner
In the shadows, look behind you too
Look where love has never been
Where love will never go
Look around the human zoo
There's somebody there to hold
oh, what you feel, what you feel, what you feelin'
what you feel, what you feel, what you feelin'
oh, what you feel, what you feel, what you feelin'
Let Somebody Love You lyrics - Boy George & Culture Club
I am a poet in New York City
You can see your face in my shoes
I'm young and I'm alive
I've got nothin' to lose
A dream, a book, a lie, a kiss
There's so much to resist
And then I find you
I am fire, you are water
And nothing we can do
I'll walk into the room and light your fuse, yeah
Love is a revolution
War and famine too
Feed the hunger in your heart
Let somebody love you
Let somebody love you
Now I'm in the wilderness
Somewhere in the heart of Spain
You flight it up with a smile, said, "Sing it again"
A dream, a book, a lie, a kiss
There's so much to resist
And then I find you
I am fire, you are water
And nothing we can do
I'll walk into the room and light your fuse, yeah
Love is a revolution
War and famine too
Feed the hunger in your heart
Let somebody love you
Let somebody love you
Live on the record, a boy or a girl in your head
Could it be something you did?
Or somethin' I said?
Live on the record, a boy or a girl in your head, yeah
When the two seven's come together
I'm gonna love you forever and ever
I am fire, you are water
And nothing we can do
I'll walk into the room and light your fuse, yeah
Love is a revolution
War and famine too
Feed the hunger in your heart
Let somebody love you
Gotta let somebody love you
(Let somebody love you)
A dream, a lie
A book or a kiss (Let somebody love you)
So much to resist, yeah, (Let somebody love you)
Gotta let someone love you (Let somebody love you)
Need to let somebody love you (Let somebody love you)
What Does Sorry Mean? lyrics - Boy George & Culture Club
She thinks love lies
In the bruises round the eyes
She thinks his big heart
Makes him apologize
Out in the night
Mascara running like a river down
She's the homecomin' queen
Who went and lost her crown
Ooh, there's no cure for this crazy love
She turns the other cheek
But it's never been enough
He's a big man now
But he's lookin' at her small
As the table falls over again
And the food hits the wall
What does sorry mean,
When tears are seldom seen?
What good is regret,
If you don't feel it yet?
What does sorry mean,
When there's no love to perceive?
You're not strong enough
To hold the world at bay
Who's lovin' who?
Who?
She never lies
And hardly looks at other guys
Just 'cause you fall in love
Don't mean your heart dies
She dies a little
Every time he puts her down
Evil words and mad kings
Are you hurtin' now?
There's no cure for this crazy love
She turns the other cheek
But it's never good enough
He's a big man now
But he's lookin' at her small
As the table falls over again
And the food hits the wall
What does sorry mean,
When tears are seldom seen?
What good is regret,
If you don't feel it yet?
What does sorry mean,
When there's no love to perceive?
You're not strong enough
To hold the world at bay
She can't go back
She can't be alone
She can't go back
Always checkin' the phone
She can't go back
She can't be alone
She'll never be free, yeah
What does sorry mean?
(What does sorry mean?)
What does sorry mean?
(What does sorry mean?)
What does sorry mean?
When the tears are seldom seen?
What good is regret,
If you don't feel it yet?
What does sorry mean,
With no love to be seen?
You're not strong enough
To hold the world at bay, yeah yeah
(What does sorry mean?)
What does sorry mean?
Runaway Train lyrics - Boy George & Culture Club
Runnin' to Boston, heart on my sleeve
Two hundred bodies is all I need
These boys are hungry and a little vain
The truth is a runaway train
Flew down to airy California sun
So many people tryna be someone
Michelle Obama, you know my name
The truth is a runaway train
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
The truth is a runaway train
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
The truth is a runaway train
From California flew down to Rome
Feels like the whole world is my home
I miss your laughter, I miss the rain
The truth is a runaway train
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
The truth is a runaway train
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
The truth is a runaway train
Even when you're innocent, all the leaves the same
And all those judges are Shakespearean in shame
And you know I loved you as I loved you then
When you were the image of an angel
Oh oh! Runaway train, come on now
Hey oh! Runaway train
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train, ah
The truth is a runaway train
It's a runaway train, it's a runaway train
The truth is a runaway train
It's a runaway train, yeah oh, runaway train
Ooh, it's a runaway train
Resting Bitch Face lyrics - Boy George & Culture Club
There's nothing real about you
You live in my bones
With all my darkest feelings
Broken telephone
(Read my bitch face)
I think I got your number
Seven year exchange
I hate you for the moment
Then I fall for you again
I know you will never change
Good times for today
When you go, leave a bitter taste
Find me in the morning, read my resting bitch face
(My bitch face don't change)
([?] baby)
There's nothing real about you
You live in my blood
Love me like a demon child
Just can't get enough
I know you will never change
Good times for today
When you go, leave a bitter taste
Find me in the morning, read my resting bitch face
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know you will never change
Good times for today
When you go, leave a bitter taste
Find me in the morning, read my resting bitch face
Took you so long
What took you so long to love me?
Took you so long, took you so long
What took you so long to love me?
Took you so long, what took you so long
What took you so long to love me?
Took you so long, took you so long
What took you so long to love me?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Different Man lyrics - Boy George & Culture Club
He was livin' in his cot on the side of the road
Like a crack pipe Jesus, like a Satan soul
He was bleedin' barefoot on the walk of fame
Where nobody knows his name
(Oooh yeah, ooh, ooh yeah, ooh)
He was livin' on the edge of the world, you know
Like a black cat bullet, like a slime stone
He was walkin' on the edge of the shopping display
With nobody else to blame
(Oooh yeah, ooh, ooh yeah, ooh)
It can be easy, hell yes it can
If you'd be a different man
It can be easy, hell yes it can
If you'd be a different man
He was livin' in his cot on the side of the road
Like a crack pipe Jesus, Satan and soul
He was bleedin' barefoot on the walk of fame
Where nobody knows his name
(Oooh yeah, ooh, ooh yeah, ooh)
It can be easy, hell yes it can
If you'd be a different man
It can be easy, hell yes it can
If you'd be a different man
It can be easy, hell yes it can
If you'd be a different man
It can be easy, hell yes it can
If you'd be a different man
It can be easy, hell yes it can
If you'd be a different man
It can be easy, hell yes it can
If you'd be a different man
A different man
If you'd be a different man
Oil & Water lyrics - Boy George & Culture Club
You cry over spilt milk
You keep your tears in a jar
You think the world is gonna end tomorrow
Ain't it beautiful how different we are
You're the world's greatest chancer
Money seems to fall through your hands
Yeah your dance is beautifully wounded
No one really understands
I'll wait for God to come
And settle in my heart
Your faith is biblical
Oil and water, that's what we are
Oil and water, that's what we are
I see you move through the shadows
How can I know who you are
Watching the world from the edge of danger
From your galaxy of stars
I'll wait for God to come
And settle in my heart
Your faith is biblical
Oil and water, that's what we are
Oil and water, that's what we are
Oil and water
Oil and water
Oil and water
Now here we are now
Pathological strangers
You choose the day
I'll fall apart
Lookin' in from the outside
What can you see clearly
You and me
Oil and water, that's what we are
Oil and water, that's what we are
Oil and water
Oil and water
Oil and water
More Than Silence lyrics - Boy George & Culture Club
Watching you play our favourite song
Shutters down, headphones on
I want the world to know my pain
You play a cold game
Wounded soul, bi-polar tears
Whisper your name so no-one hears
I'll be the mirror of all your fears
I'll play a slow game
I could use a little more than silence
Just three words that echo in my heart
I could use a little more than silence
Silence is the moon in a lonely sky
Wondering who you're gonna be
Fall into her or into me
I want the world to know your name
You play a cold game
Wounded soul, bi-polar tears
I whisper your name so no-one hears
You let me mirror all your fears
I'll play a slow game
I could use a little more than silence
Just three words that echo in my heart
I could use a little more than silence
Silence is the moon in a lonely sky
Don't talk, don't try
Don't try, don't lie
Don't lie
I could use a little more than silence
Just three words that echo in my heart
I could use a little more than silence
Silence is the moon in a lonely sky
Deepening words, deepening words, more than silence
Life lyrics - Boy George & Culture Club
There's a train at the station that's ready to leave
And a perfect future just made for me
I let this stranger walk into my life
Stepped out of the darkness back into the light
I know I'm crazy but just a little sane
I get to take this ride again
You give me hope when I wake up
To lift my head high
And take what's mine
We look for laughter in the madness
You give me hope
And you give me life
Will you let me breathe now while I find my truth
If I love myself don't mean I don't love you
All of my chances are in my hands
Stepped out of the darkness, found out who I am
I know I'm crazy but just a little sane
I get to take this ride again
You give me hope when I wake up
To lift my head high
And take what's mine
We look for laughter in the madness
You give me hope
And you give me life
Well I don't know who I am
When I'm lost in you
When I'm under the water
(When I'm under the water)
When I'm under the water
I look to you
You know I do
I look to you
And the water is gone
You give me hope when I wake up
To lift my head high
And take what's mine
We look for laughter in the madness
You give me hope
And you give me life
Oh, you give me life
You give me life
Oh, you give me life
King Of Everything lyrics - Boy George
Put down the booze
Let the demons win the fight
Dropped my gloves to the ground
You know I'm sorry
For the times I made you cry
I made an art of letting you down
[Bridge:]
I used to say
It's only me I'm hurting
But I saw you on the stairs
The kid was crying
And the dogs were howling
And a siren filled the air
[Chorus:]
What's the word on the street
Have I lost my crown
Or will I be king again
What's the word on the street
Have I lost my crown
Or will I be king of everything
Tempted myself time & time again
Like self destruction was so cool
I mocked your tears and I scarred your heart
I blamed the past and I blamed you
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Standing outside of me
Looking down
Bigger Than War lyrics - Boy George
I'll size it up if you want me to
it's bigger than me, the song you love,
the ones you hate, Eyeliner voodoo,
here we go again.
Bigger than you, bigger than me
love is bigger than war. [x2]
Holds us together tears us apart
make us forget and remember who we are
just like an atom it's here and it's there
better run for cover when love is in the air
Bigger than you, bigger than me
love is bigger than war. [x2]
Bigger than The Beatles, the rolling Stones
bigger than Elvis, but not YOKO
Bigger than you, bigger than me
love is bigger than war.
Everything I learned about love, I learned it from you
everything I learned about love like what not to do,
love, love glorious love makes you crazy but you want that stuff
New York love, London love, french Italian Jamaican Love.
Bigger than you, bigger than me just like an atom it's here and it's there
better run for cover when love is in the air
Bigger than The Beatles, the rolling Stones
bigger than Elvis, but not YOKO
Bigger than you, bigger than me
love is bigger than war.
Live Your Life lyrics - Boy George
Everybody knew the boy was strange
The raised him in whispers
Oh how they prayed
The demons would go away
His daddy was cruel
He tried to meme him tough
Always afraid to give him too much love
Too much love
Running running running
What a waste of time
No-one you can be but your good self
Bigotry & hatred
And too much lies
Now it’s time to live your life
Ain’t no second chance
You can’t rewind, no, no
You can’t rewind
Everybody said the boy will change
Many years are gone but the truth remains
The truth remains
Running running running
What a waste of time
No-one you can be but your good self
Bigotry & hatred
And too much lies
Now it’s time to live your life
Ain’t no second chance
You can’t rewind
You can’t rewind
My God lyrics - Boy George
Man gives me the book of God
And I turn to him and say
"I wouldn’t be here, my friend
If I had no faith"
Here in the darkness
I became the light
Had to get it wrong
To get it right
He crossed himself
And I shook my head
He said “Jesus loves you don’t you know?”
My God is bigger than your God
My God is better than yours
Put your bombs away
You need a little more faith
Don’t you know what your heart is for?
You should know what your heart is for
Saw the devil down in New York City
All dressed up like a saint
You were in your thorny crown and war paint
Racing number 6, the blue boys took you down
Watched you fall apart like Faye in Chinatown
I crossed myself
And he shook his head
I said, “Jesus loves me don’t you know?”
(yeah!)
My God is bigger than your God
My God is better than yours
Put your bombs away
You need a little more faith
Don’t you know what your heart is for?
You should know what your heart is for
(This ain’t a song it’s a movement!
Lady Bunny got a halo
...New York...
Hold your wig, in case the wind blows
Da da da da da da da da da
New York
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da)
It's Easy lyrics - Boy George
Take the car.
Take the flatscreen.
Let me keep my dignity.
Take it all, it's just a shallow victory.
We all know, no one wins.
When a heart gets broken
And this time, thank the lord, it ain't you.
It's easy when you're the one who stops loving first
yeah it's easy when you're the one who stops loving first
Now your big words mean nothing
Your smile is like a curse.
Oh it's easy when you're the one who stops loving first
Take the money.
Take the honey.
Take the light out of the sky.
Take it all, it's just a shallow victory.
We all know, no one wins, when a heart gets broken
And this time, thank the lord, it ain't me.
It's easy when you're the one who stops loving first.
Yeah it's easy when you're the one who stops loving first.
Now your big words mean nothing.
Your smile is like a curse.
Oh it's easy when you're the one who stops loving first.
Out of a win for a stranger.
Oh man you're cold.
So cold.
I know you wouldn't change.
And you tried so hard.
To add some truth.
To the cold.
It's easy when you're the one who stops loving first.
Yeah it's easy when you're the one who stops loving first.
Now your big words mean nothing.
Your smile is like a curse.
Oh it's easy when you're the one who stops loving first.
Death Of Samantha lyrics - Boy George
(originally by Yoko Ono)
People say I'm cool
Ya, I'm a cool chick, baby
Every day I thank God
That I'm such a cool chick, baby
When I'm on the phone, I thank God
My voice sounds smooth and clear without a trace of tear
When I'm at work, I thank God
I still have that smile Ma used to say lit her day
But something inside me
Something inside me died that day
People say I'm cool
Ya, I'm a cool chick, baby
Every day I thank God
That I'm such a cool chick, baby
A friend lent me shades so I could
Hide my eyes that day
It was a snowy day, the shades have seen
A lot of things, I don't wanna know myself
Was like an accident, part of growing up
People tell me
But something inside me
Something inside me died that day
People say I'm cool
Ya, I'm a cool chick, baby
Every day I thank God
That I'm such a cool chick, baby
When I'm on the phone, I thank God
My voice sounds smooth and clear without a trace of tear
When I'm at work, I thank God
I still have that smile Ma used to say lit her day
What can you do?
What can you do?
Any Road lyrics - Boy George
Halo slipping.
Your eyes are tired.
And the walls are moving, slowly.
I'm taking the wind now.
I never loved you.
Love ain't friendzy.
On a one man show.
If you don't know where you're going,
Any road will take you there.
If you don't know.
If you don't know.
If you don't know where your going,
Any road will take you there.
If you don't know.
If you don't know.
five years later
not so crazy
Repaint the picture
You're a real van Gogh
Counting the days now.
The consequenses.
Echo in laughter.
More seeds to sow.
If you don't know where you're going,
Any road will take you there.
If you don't know.
If you don't know.
If you don't know where your going,
Any road will take you there.
If you don't know.
If you don't know.
If you don't know.
If you don't know.
If you don't know where you're going.
Any road will take you there.
If you don't know.
If you don't know.
Any road yeah.
Will take you there.
Any road.
If you don't know.
My Star lyrics - Boy George
My star shining sweet, slightly out of reach
In a gangster's teeth, yeah yeah
On the hand of a bride, getting ready to take that ride
Feel the storms stir up inside, yeah yeah
No one will complete you, this is true
So I won’t ever try to change you
If I can't love you just the way you are
Then I'd better walk away my star
My star so effete, decadent and sweet
Feels like you're the one for me, yeah yeah
If you give the tears a miss
I'Il give you the spider's kiss
Who needs TV when I've got this, yeah yeah
No one will complete you, this is true
So I won’t ever try to change you
If I can't love you just the way you are
Then I'd better walk away my star
My star, falling into my arms
In the stratosphere, somewhere out there
Where dreams come from
Love And Danger lyrics - Boy George
Oh darling, the darkness is on our side
I wonder if you will surrender
She's waiting for you, but so am I
Ambiguous, so beautiful, that's life
Who made the rules, coz, the rules ain't fun
If you're loving us two, who's the lonely one?
Got addicted to love and danger
Love and danger
Love and danger
Love and danger
Love and danger
I know I've lost my soul
Oh darling, the future is made of lies
Oh I never want to see you go but you are always gone by sunrise
She's waiting for you but I dry my eyes
Ambiguous, so beautiful, that's life
Who made the rules, coz, the rules ain't fun
If you're loving us two, who's the lonely one?
Got addicted to love and danger
Love and danger
Love and danger
Love and danger
Love and danger
I know I've lost my soul (forgiving you, forgiving you)
Every time you lie oh I'm on your side forgiving you, forgiving you
That's what lovers do
Love and danger
Love and danger
Love and danger
Love and danger
Nice And Slow lyrics - Boy George
It's time to breathe
Good morning Mr Lovebones, how you doing today?
Well I’m just like Patsy, I got my sparkle back again
I’ve been talking less, thinking more, feel like I should hold you inside
No more watching from the sidelines, I ain’t along for the ride, no sir
Well the wind might change while I'm talking to you
I feel a little faint getting too much truth
And nothing that I need to do
Take it nice and slow
Nice and slow
Nice and slow
Nice and slow (take it take it)
Nice and slow
Morning Mr Darkness, stop all this running away
Will you be walking in a straight line, now you know crime doesn’t pay
Your luck has changed, I got sweeter for you
I used to be a dreamer with my heart full of moon
Be careful not to speak too soon
Take it nice and slow
Nice and slow (take it take it)
Nice and slow
Nice and slow (take it take it)
Nice and slow
Nice and slow
And l walk down the street with a smile on my face and my heart on my sleeve
Nice and slow
And if you really love me then show it don’t say it
It’s the only way to go
Nice and slow
See I learnt the hard way love is mundane
Love is just nice & slowac
Play Me lyrics - Boy George
Play with myself...
Play with my mind...
Baby
Come on play me
Like an old familiar song
Melts your heart
Makes you sing along
On the radio night and day
Like the music never went away
Come on play me
I know it ain't you
When you talk the way you do
Only bad things coming through
So just sing it the way you do
Feel The Vibration lyrics - Boy George
Tears in my coffee cup
Too much war
Not enough love
Dictators never went away
Feels like faith took a holiday
Feel the vibration
Feel the vibration
Freedom is in the air
You might die
But you just don't care
All you can do is pray
When violence feels like the only way
Feel the vibration
Feel the vibration
What can make me free
No false philosophy
Follow me to Tahir Sq
Hear the sound of freedom there
Follow me
Follow me
Down to Damascus
Turn 2 Dust lyrics - Boy George
Chi Chi Man, everywhere you turn
You say "Burn, dirty Babylon, burn"
"Abomination" you cry
Receiving messages from the sky
Yet still in the Lord I trust
All this hatred will turn to dust
Turn to dust
I will face this madness
And violence with love
I will stand tall and proud
'Cause I know I'm good enough
I can hold my own next to anyone
I am cursed and blessed to be my father's son
Ruled by love
Always fooled by love
In my heart and my soul
I am strong enough
Turn to dust, oh, turn
All hatred must turn to dust
Turn to dust, oh, turn
All hatred must turn to dust
Turn to dust
I will fight your anger
Every curse on my kind
Confront your prejudice
Till you leave it behind
Celebrate my difference
With only truth as my defense
Ruled by love
Always fooled by love
In my heart and my soul
I am strong enough
Chi Chi Man, everywhere you turn
You say "Burn, dirty Babylon, burn"
"Abomination" you cry
Receiving messages from the sky
Yet still in the Lord I trust
All this hatred will turn to dust
Turn to dust
Turn to dust, oh, turn
All hatred must turn to dust
Turn to dust, oh, turn
All hatred must turn to dust
Turn to dust, oh, turn
All hatred must turn to dust
Turn to dust, oh, turn
All hatred must turn to dust
Turn to dust
Turn to dust, oh, turn
All hatred must turn to dust
Turn to dust, oh, turn
All hatred must turn to dust
Turn to dust
Yes We Can lyrics - Boy George
Yes we can...
There's no time for indifference
Don't you know how truly blessed you are?
Mother's tears fall when you hurt yourself
While others wait to watch you fall apart
Please forgive these crimes against myself
And I'll forgive your lack of faith
Yes we can
Make it to the promise land
Yes we can
I know we can
Yes we can
Make it to the promise land
Yes we can
I know we can
Yes we can...
Those you take into your confidence
Can you trust them
Trust them with your heart?
No one knows you like you know yourself
You're in control right now
But you might go too far
Oh yeah I said
Please forgive these crimes against myself
And I'll forgive your lack of faith
Yes we can
Make it to the promise land
Yes we can, yes we can, yes we can
Yes we can, yes we can, yes we can
Yes we can, yes we can, yes we can
Yes we can, yes we can, yes we can
Yes we can
Make it to the promise land
Yes we can
I know we can
Yes we can
Make it to the promise land
Yes we can
I know we can
Yes we can, yes we can, yes we can
Yes we can, yes we can, yes we can
Yes we can, yes we can, yes we can
Yes we can, yes we can, yes we can
Yes we can
Brand New lyrics - Boy George
I just wanna meet you sometime... soon.
Show me a million strangers,
I'll always find a broken boy,
drunk and laughing in some corner
By the dancefloor.
Did you want me, did you lie?
Maybe I don't mind.
So much promised in your eye.
I don't wanna change the world.
I know I can't change you.
Maybe I can change myself,
Make me all Brand New.
Make me all Brand New.
Make me all Brand New.
I just wanna meet you sometime... soon.
I never sense the danger.
Sometimes I know I'm not that smart
Why'd you say, "That's what you get."
Or, "Take or leave me?"
Did you want me? Did you lie?
Hey, baby, I don't mind.
So much promised in your lie.
I don't wanna change the world.
I know I can't change you.
Maybe I can change myself,
Make me all Brand New.
Make me all Brand New.
Make me all Brand New.
I don't wanna change the world.
I know I can't change you.
Maybe I can change myself,
Make me all Brand New.
I don't wanna change the world,
Do you?
Maybe I could change myself,
Make me all Brand New.
I don't wanna change the world.
I know I can't change you.
Maybe I can change myself,
Make me all Brand New.
Amazing Grace lyrics - Boy George
Some where the flutter of a butterfly wings
A simple word that changes everything
It was just was just another ordinary day
How could you know your life was going to change
Forget about tomorrow
Don't be a slave to time
Because life is still a moment
It's divine
You need amazing grace
Amazing grace
You need amazing grace
Amazing grace
Portuguese chant
Somewhere an angel
With a broken wing
His tears are turning into rain
It was just another ordinary day
How could you know your life was going to change
Forget about tomorrow
Don't be a slave to time
Because life is just a moment
It's divine
Portuguese chant
You need amazing grace
Amazing grace
You need amazing grace
Amazing grace
You need amazing grace
Amazing grace
You need amazing grace
Don't Wanna See Myself lyrics - Boy George
Don't wanna see myself - don't wanna see myself
Ev'ry time I pass the front of a looking glass
There's a smilin' face
It was you that brought me to this place
Mirror, mirror on the wall
It's the greatest love of all
It came like a complete surprise
And changed my life before my eyes
And I don't wanna see myself - don't wanna see myself
Don't wanna see myself
Don't wanna see myself without you
Don't wanna see myself - don't wanna see myself
Don't wanna see myself - don't wanna see myself
Don't wanna see myself
Don't wanna see myself
I don't wanna see myself without you
Don't wanna see myself - don't wanna see myself
Don't wanna see myself - don't wanna see myself
If I Were You lyrics - Boy George
(The chance to live your life)
(The chance to live your life)
You live your life in desperation
I tried but could not break your will
Regret and endless conversation
It hurts to see you standing still
But if you had the chance to live your life again
Would you squander your beauty and intelligence
Take a look in the mirror now cause every word is true
I'd be afraid if I were U
If I were U
You pass the blame to those around you
Look in the mirror, face the truth
I tried to help, I tried to ground you
You had such beauty in your youth
(But if you had the chance to live your life again)
(Would you squander your beauty and intelligence)
(Take a look in the mirror now cause every word is true)
(I'd be afraid if I were U)
But if you had the chance to live your life again
Would you squander your beauty and intelligence
Take a look in the mirror now cause every word is true
I'd be afraid if I were U
If I were U
Go Your Own Way lyrics - Boy George
Loving you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feel
If I could
Maybe I'd give you my world
How can I
When you won't take it from me
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up's all you wanna do
If I could
Baby I'd give you my world
Open up
Everything's waiting for you
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
After Dark lyrics - Boy George
(Strange things after dark...)
Chemicalized dancing
Logic out of sync
Intoxicating stranger
No time to think
He wants to lead me out into the snow
My thoughts are junk
Of fabricated love
Strange things happening after dark
You lose all sense of reason
Don't know who you are
Strange things happening after dark
How will we feel tomorrow?
I forgot to ask
After dark
After dark...
He pours his troubles into mine
Our sacred dance
His beauty fell into my arms
Quite by chance
I'm willing to be used
I'm brave enough to go
Into confusion
Adding sentiment and danger
(Strange things happening after dark
How will we feel tomorrow?
I forgot to ask)
Strange things happening after dark
You lose all sense of reason
Don't know who you are
Strange things happening after dark
How will we feel tomorrow?
I forgot to ask
After dark...
Strange things after dark...
Human Racing lyrics - Boy George
(Welcome.)
(I said.)
(Welcome.)
(I said.)
One of my motives,
You think you know,
They're changing daily.
No manifesto,
Just getting older.
Throwing his legs
Over my shoulder.
We'll never know hunger,
We'll always be rich,
'cause there's so much love in here.
"Hello, hello," from security.
Just how famous do you have to be?
The problem with you is
You've got problems,
Welcome to the human race.
You seem a little insecure,
Welcome to the human race.
I love you just the way you are,
But if only you could change.
Welcome.
I said.
What are you thinking?
Not very much,
My eyes are fixed on yours.
Complications,
It's an adventure,
No one needs to know but us.
We'll never know hunger,
We'll always be rich,
'cause there's so much love in here.
"Hello, hello," from security.
Just how famous do you have to be?
The problem with you is
You've got problems,
Welcome to the human race.
You seem a little insecure,
Welcome to the human race.
I love you just the way you are,
But if only you could change.
Welcome.
I said.
The problem with you is
You've got problems,
Welcome to the human race.
You seem a little insecure,
Welcome to the human race.
I love you just the way you are,
But if only you could change.
Welcome.
I said.
I'm into you.
I'm into the style.
I'm into that.
I'm into drag
I'm into lube
I'm into nationally knowing it's me.
I'm into boys.
I'm into food.
I'm into theory.
Welcome.
I said.
Welcome.
I said.
Mothers Are The Superheroes Of The Universe lyrics - Boy George
Who can make you cry by being disappointed
Who lives in your head, bakes her own bread?
Doesn't gamble, doesn't lie, you're the apple of her eye
Even when you really try to disappoint her
Mother, that's who
Mother, that's who
Mothers are the superheroes of the universe
Mothers are the superheroes of the universe
Who put you on the SLAM hits?
Who carried you for months?
You're the reason why we started buying bigger cars

Touches your soul
Music is the best medicine
Melting my ears
Music is the best medicine
Forcing my tears
It's good for you

Not Quite Havana lyrics - Boy George
Sun setting over south beach
Casting shadows over beauty
And imperfection
Some people live for the green
And the ocean will bring you
To your knees
Stepping from a taxi in Little Havana
So very near yet so far away
I miss the streets [?]
The sunset at Forte [?] every day
Oh, I love it here
I made it my home
But it's not quite Havana
Oh, I love it here
I made it my home
But it's not quite Havana
I love it when you talk about Cuba
Filling my head with so much mystery
How can you sing about a place you've never been?
[?] showed me the picture
Stepping from a taxi in Little Havana
So very near yet so far away
I miss the streets [?]
The sunset at Forte [?] every day
Oh, I love it here
I made it my home
But it's not quite Havana
Oh, I love it here
I made it my home
But it's not quite Havana
I made it my home
But it's not quite Havana
I made it my home
But it's not quite Havana
Oh, I love it here
I made it my home
But it's not quite Havana
Oh, I love it here
I made it my home
But it's not quite Havana
Nothing Makes Sense lyrics - Boy George
Where are you standing? How is the view?
Have you decided what to do?
Start a war, make amends
Fall out of love, still be friends
Start a war, make a truce
Stay real close but keep it loose
Remember, remember
Remember, when nothing makes sense
Remember, remember
Remember, when nothing makes sense
Least of all you and me
What are you thinking, give me a clue
Is there still hope or nothing I can do?
Start a war, make amends
Fall out of love, still be friends
Start a war, make a truce
Stay real close, a button loose
Remember, remember
Remember, when nothing makes sense
Remember, remember
Remember, when nothing makes sense
Least of all you and me
Nothing makes sense
When nothing makes sense
When nothing makes sense
When nothing makes sense
When nothing makes sense
Make amends, fall out of love
Still be friends
Start a war, make amends
Fall out of love, still be friends
Start a war, make a truce
Stay real close, but keep it loose
Start a war, make amends
Fall out of love, still be friends
Start a war, make a truce
Stay real close, a button loose
Remember, nothing
When nothing makes sense
Remember, nothing
When nothing makes sense
When nothing makes sense
Poison And Roses lyrics - Boy George
Thinking about this song only about ten people will understand it
It's a total joke
But that's okay right? It's creative
It could expand
And cut
Oh, so much of kill now
So much of kill
Trauma is the catalyst
The fighter with the hardest fists
The toughest girl at school
Smoking in the boys' [?]
Ain't we smarter than this
A little bitty better than this
Do to me what I do to you
But it was already done
Poison and roses
What a combination
Throwin' all your poses
You thought that you knew me
Always saw straight through me
And I see how smart you are, in the back of Robert's car
I was obviously impressed, by your punk finesse
Forget about the rest
It's all about you
Keeping me down to earth, is it better than feeling anger?
Is it better than feeling nothing?
And if you feel too much, who would believe?
Poison and roses
What a combination
Throwin' all your poses
Poison and roses
Cutting off your own noses
To spite someone else's [?] face
He's an old man now, but he can't forget
All the pain he caused
And he jokes about it, while we choke about it
Forgive me
If you ever wanna know yourself
Forgive me
You set me up to fail
Poison and roses
What a combination
Throwin' all your poses
Poison and roses
Cutting off your own noses
To spite someone else's [?] face
Keeping me down to earth, is it better than feeling nothing?
Is it better than feeling anger?
And if you're not part of the [?] don't stress
We'll be the queens of the future just a much better dress
[?] no contest
Geoffrey Hinton just confessed
Hit the tape
Religion lyrics - Boy George
Trial by media
Is unavoidable these days
Yeah
But in the end I find
The bad guy always pays
(No they don't) yes they do (no they don't)
What about the CEO
Zero sympathy from me
I just like the way it sounds
Zero sympathy
[?] wider sky
Religion
What is my religion
Religion
What is my religion
On the train to Washington
She looks at the window
Order some Japanese
Konichiwa, konichiwa, konichiwa
My thinking takes me back to London
And all the heartbreaks I embraced
I did it to my own face
Zero sympathy from me
Ain't that the way you like it baby
Zero sympathy
I step up on the mic
I think I'm right
Religion
What is my religion
Religion
What is my religion
Religion
What is my religion
Religion
What is my religion
Religion
What is my religion
Religion
What is my religion
Shine On lyrics - Kim Wilde & Boy George
I believed love was a temple
Where our prayers were born every day
Precious dreams, forever sacred
Now we feel them slipping away
But here we are
Found ourselves lost in the spaces
Between the moon and the sun
Now our world, fragile and naked
Cries the tears on everyone
So stay with me
Lay with me
Feel our love
Shine on, shine on
Shine on
Every night a little bit longer
Every day a battle for two
Fight against the chemical demons
Who control the fire in you
So stay with me (oh, stay with me)
Lay with me (lay with me)
Feel our love
Shine on, shine on
Shine on
Trust in me (I'll never let you go)
I'll never leave you (ooh, I'll be right here beside)
Together we'll
Shine on, shine on
Shine on
Be the light in me
I'll be the light in you
Come back to me (come back darling)
I never want to say goodbye
Come back to me (come back to me)
I just need to see your light shine, oh
I need to touch your face
Together we'll
Shine on, shine on
Shine on
Trust in me (I'll never let you go)
I'll never leave you (ooh, I'll be right here beside)
Together we'll
Shine on, shine on
Shine on
(I'll never let you go) I'll never let you
(Ooh, I'll be right here beside)
Together we'll
Shine on, shine on
Storm Chaser lyrics - Boy George (feat. General Waste)
Madness is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result
Life is just doing the same thing
Staying outside when a storm is breaking
Bringing it home to sit at the table
Screaming like a banshee
Someone's to blame but it's not you
But you're the only one talking
You need to spread the love more evenly
Don't worry, I got you
I know why you're storm chasing
Don't worry, I got you
I know why you're storm chasing
My house, my rules, you get it?
[?] for the first time using words that set her free
[?] just more of the same
As you create what you're bound to [?] someday
Watching you get so angry about
Stuff you really don't understand, yeah
Like the weight of regret
In her mother's eyes
It's for every mother like [?]
It's not easy to remain impartial
You can't take sides
Some might want to eat spaghetti in a storm
But it ain't my first time at this table
How must it feel to experience this for the first time?
[?]
Don't worry, I got you
I know why you're storm chasing
Don't worry, I got you
I know why you're storm chasing
This is my house, my rules, you get it?
Look [?] free
But only mentally
Because anger is a prison
See I'm [?] who I've been
I'm playing myself like Schwarzenegger but slightly vaguer
See you around, I might turn up later
I'm a wounded soldier with a bipolar crown
Don't worry, I got you
I know why you're storm chasing
(Madness is doing the same thing over and over [?]
You get it )
Swoon lyrics - Boy George
Vamonos, vamonos, vamonos
Estamos claros y ya
Vamonos, vamonos, vamonos
Those eyes will get you in trouble
Those feet, somebody take them dancing
Let's eat because you're always hungry
No take-away will ever fill you up
Driving from the city down to the beach
Empty up my head, that's what I need
Swoon
Remember one time you could light up a room, boom boom
Being pretty like a silver spoon
Swoon
Those who put you down, maybe they spoke too soon
'Cause you still swoon
Vamonos, vamonos, vamonos
Estamos claros y ya
Vamonos, vamonos, vamonos
Those lips put you in danger
Now you gotta be smart and work a little harder ([?])
Sex appeal, curb appeal, none of it's real
Unless it comes from the heart
Swoon
Remember one time you could light up a room, boom boom
Being pretty like a silver spoon
Swoon
Those who put you down, maybe they spoke too soon
'Cause you still swoon
Ai-ai-ai-ai-ah
Look at you
Head to toe perfection
Swoon
Vamonos, vamonos, vamonos
Estamos claros y ya
Swoon
Vamonos, vamonos, vamonos
[?]
Swoon
I bet your enemies spoke too soon
'Cause you still swoon
Swoon (ai, ai-ai, ah)
Remember one time you could light up a room, boom boom
(Those lips [?])
Being pretty like a silver spoon
Swoon
(Could've been about you, a testament to your beauty
Do you want it to be better?)
Swoon
Remember one time you could light up a room, boom boom
Talking lyrics - Boy George
When did it start, the clouding of self?
Thinking myself into someone else
Someone else I need to be
Someone who was never me
They stare at me [?] talk under their breath
I create the drama, but offer my forgiveness
Holographic thinking and such [?]
As the [?] blood falls from your lips
The dirt under your fingernails
Says you don't really think about yourself
When there's too much talking
When there's too much thinking
How can you make peace with that?
How can you make peace?
When there's too much talking
When there's too much thinking
She wants evolution
You want everything to change
Except for you
Watching you both square up in the ring
Him blaming you and you blaming him
Just take it on the [?]
Let's take this fight upstairs
And no one else really cares
How this ends
When there's too much talking
When there's too much thinking
How can you make peace with that?
How can you make peace?
When there's too much talking
When there's too much thinking
He wants evolution
She want everything to change
Except for her
When there's too much talking
When there's too much thinking
How can you make peace with that?
How can you make peace?
When there's too much talking
When there's too much thinking
He wants evolution
She want everything to change
The Boy Who Sat By The Window lyrics - Boy George
Been tryna work 'em out for years
But there's so much to see out of the window
I don't know why they stopped me here
But must have been a reason, I forget
Don't look inside, that's not, that's that prize
Don't look inside, but don't look down
The boy who sat by the window
With colorful thoughts flying through his head
The boy who sat by the window
This is some of the story, but it's not over yet
Came to London, found a flat
Smoked a joint, wore a hat
Wore my trousers back to front
Went to [?]
[?] on the door turned me away
Went back the following Friday, got in
I came [?] falling in love [?]
"Are you crazy?" I heard them say
Now all I can see is Vivienne Westwood shaking her head
And [?] got a Westwood bag on his head
He started everything, don't laugh
No one's trying to be funny
Polystyrene knows that I'm dyslexic
I never heard that word in school
I was just a troublemaker
The boy who sat by the window
With colorful thoughts flying through his head
The boy who sat by the window
This is some of the story, but it's not over yet
I'm getting into a bit of spoken word, because
Words are meant to be spoken, haven't you heard?
So like poetry but for queers and our straight friends
'Cause it takes two of them to make one of me, get it?
We're all in this together
The Crying Game lyrics - Boy George
(originally by Dave Berry)
I know all there is to know
About the crying game
I've had my share
Of the crying game
First there are kisses
Then there are sighs
And then before
You know where you are
You're sayin' goodbye
One day soon
I'm gonna tell the moon
About the crying game
And if he knows
Maybe he'll explain
Why there are heartaches (Heartaches)
Why there are tears (So sad)
Then what to do
To stop feeling blue
When love disappears
First there are kisses (Kisses)
Then there are sighs (So sad)
And then before
You know where you are
You're sayin' goodbye
Don't want no more
Of the crying game
(Don't want no more)
Don't want no more
Of the crying game
(Don't want no more)
Don't want no more
Of the crying game
(Don't want no more)
Don't want no more
Of the crying game
The Man I Love lyrics - Boy George
(originally by George Gershwin)
One day he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
You'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
You'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I'll meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Sure about to meet him someday
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
We'll build a little home
Just meant for two
From which we'll never roam
Who would, would you?
And so all else above
I'm dreaming for the man I love
Oh look at me, I'm so relaxed
[?]
Them There Crows lyrics - Boy George
When your feet spill
Onto the dance-floor
In your brand shoes
Cock of the hoop
I can tear a piece out of you
You can tear a piece out of me
Or you could stand there
Shaking the gossip tree
Stay in the moment
Stay in the moment
Stay in the moment please
Bring your anger to its knees
Retrograde in Mercury
Them there crows
What they know
Them there crows
Picking at my bones
Them there crows
What they know
Them there crows
Picking at my bones
You can tear a piece out of me
I can tear a piece out of you
Or you can just stand there
Shaking the gossip tree
Let me hear you say
Hallelujah queen
Let me hear you say
Hallelujah queen
Them there crows
What they know
Them there crows
Picking at my bones
Hey Jimmy, turn up the bass
She's a strange bird
I wonder what she does at night
She's a strange bird, she's a strange bird
Everything politicized
Them there crows
What they know
Them there crows
Picking at my bones
Them there crows
(Picking at my bones, picking picking picking at my bones)
Picking at my bones
Them there crows
What they know
(Picking at my bones)
Them there crows
(She's a strange bird)
Picking at my bones
(Picking at my bones)
Everything politicized
Underwater lyrics - Boy George
Put your feet in the water if you want to feel free
I love it when you shave your head and how you walk that stare in me
Flickering lights in your head going from red to green
And I'm scared to cross the road for fear of what I'll see and feel
Maybe
The truth is underwater
Tell that immigration lawyer
This world belongs to me too
When I get there, will you show me your humanity?
When I'm lying on the beach
Will you feed me, mother Italy?
Or the goddesses of Greece
Will you treat me like a queen
Or a refugee?
Put your faith in the water
If you're brave enough to brave the storm
The ocean is a ruthless lover
But there would be no tears without her
And what about the moon?
Maybe
The truth is underwater
Can a shark ever be kind?
Can an octopus tell lies?
Is the starfish really a star?
You wanna know how small you are?
Swim beside a killer whale
A whale
It's not just a drop in the ocean
Oh, no, no
So Greta, just start a commotion
Maybe
The truth is underwater
Can a shark ever be kind?
Can an octopus tell lies?
Is the starfish really a star?
You wanna know how small you are?
Swim beside a killer whale
A killer whale
When I get there, will you show me your humanity?
When I'm lying on the beach
Will you feed me, mother Italy?
Or the goddesses of Greece
Will you treat me like a queen
Or a refugee?
Video Games lyrics - Boy George
(originally by Lana Del Rey)
Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name
Open up a beer and
And you take it over here
And play a video game
I'm in his favorite sundress
Watching me get undressed
Take that body downtown
I say you the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on
Go play a video game
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew.
They say that the world was built for two.
Only worth living
If somebody is loving you
Baby now you do
(Now you do, now you do)
(Now you do, now you do)
Singing in the old bars
Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame
Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts
Video games
He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of
Watching all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playing video games
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew.
They say that the world was built for two.
Only worth living
If somebody is loving you
Baby now you do
(Now you do, now you do)
(Now you do, now you do)
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew.
They say that the world was built for two.
Only worth living
If somebody is loving you
Baby now you do
(Now you do, now you do)
(Now you do, now you do)
Ich Bin Kunst (I Am Art) Lyrics – Boy George
Hahahahaha
Ich Bin Kunst
Can't you see?
Look at you
Then look at me
I am art
You're parody!
Ich Bin Kunst
Je suis art (tres tres debonair)
Because you don't
Because I dare
I blow your mind
C'est mon plaisir
Ich Bin Kunst
It started when I was only a boy
I couldn't kick a ball, climb a tree, play at war
I took pleasure in the things that make men shudder
I dressed up in the wardrobe of my mother!
My father said 'Don't panic, it's a phase'
Phase One, I said and snipped and sewed for days
I dreamed of London town, ardent fashion was my thing
I arrived and took a job in Burger King
(it was nothing!)
Ich Bin Kunst
Can't you see?
Look at you
Then look at me
I am art
Ha, you're parody!
Ich Bin Kunst
Je suis art (tres tres tres debonair)
Because you don't
and because I dare
I blow your mind
C'est mon plaisir
Ich Bin Kunst
Ich Bin Kunst
Can't you see?
Look at you
Then look at me
I am art
You're parody!
Ich Bin Kunst
Je suis art (tres tres debonair)
Because you don't
Because I dare
I blow your mind
C'est mon plaisir

St. Christopher Lyrics – Boy George
Sexual attraction, its all in the eye
Like oil on water, aint no reason why
Somebody rejects you, don't you feel like you could die
Oh spare me don't give me non of that, you knew crap
Cos your lying here with your pretty head in my lap
Stripped to the waist, higher than the stars
We all need tenderness sometimes, so we know who we are
Just for a moment I looked in the mirror and saw
my ugliness looking so insecure
I know whats up fool you got the bug
You're drunk on the stuff you're in love with love
Don't be no sucker your heart is tough
It ain't about him your in love with love
Sweet St. Christopher you got a cheeky grin
And you took me home instead of him
But in love or war no one ever wins
Oh do me a favour spare me all that crap
You ain't no spider in a web and you were'nt trapped
Just for a moment I thought I had really scored
Then I felt like a devil and you looked extremely bored
I know whats up fool you got the bug
You're drunk on the stuff you're in love with love
Don't be no sucker your heart is tough
It ain't about him your in love with love
Your in love with love
Everyones in love with love
Im in love, Im in love with love
Didn't someone once tell ya you're a god damn flirt
But what you refuse to hear, it can never hurt
But I still dig you baby, for what it's worth
And please think of me next time your poor heart hurts
Like oil on water, aint no reason why
Somebody rejects you, don't you feel like you could die
Oh spare me don't give me non of that, you knew crap
Cos your lying here with your pretty head in my lap
Stripped to the waist, higher than the stars
We all need tenderness sometimes, so we know who we are
Just for a moment I looked in the mirror and saw
my ugliness looking so insecure
I know whats up fool you got the bug
You're drunk on the stuff you're in love with love
Don't be no sucker your heart is tough
It ain't about him your in love with love
Sweet St. Christopher you got a cheeky grin
And you took me home instead of him
But in love or war no one ever wins
Oh do me a favour spare me all that crap
You ain't no spider in a web and you were'nt trapped
Just for a moment I thought I had really scored
Then I felt like a devil and you looked extremely bored
I know whats up fool you got the bug
You're drunk on the stuff you're in love with love
Don't be no sucker your heart is tough
It ain't about him your in love with love
Your in love with love
Everyones in love with love

Didn't someone once tell ya you're a god damn flirt
But what you refuse to hear, it can never hurt
But I still dig you baby, for what it's worth
And please think of me next time your poor heart hurts
She Was Never He Lyrics – Boy George
Natasha was a stunning vision
Painted eyes with such precision
Longer legs than any girl i know
Switching down on Old Kent Road
With her lips on overload
Making sure the loneliness don't show
She was never he
For as long as I remember
She was never off her gender categorically
She was never he
Though the boys at school were cruel
You would have to be a fool not to see
That she was never...
Jody she was 'quelle surprice'
Fooled the boys with such a breeze
But inside her heart the terror flows
What if he should realize
Break her heart or black her eyes
These things are so important for a girl to know
She was never he
For as long as I remember
She was never off her gender categorically
She was never he
Oh this world can be so cruel
You would have to be a fool not to see
And the government says you no longer excist
It's a kick in the eye, it's the final twist
Of the Surgeons Knife
Welcome to my glamorous life
Oh the big dark man will he turn a blind eye
Love me for who i am turned me out and made me cry
She was never he
For as long as i remember
She was never off her gender categorically
She was never he
Oh this world can be so cruel
You would have to be a fool not to see
That she was never he
Painted eyes with such precision
Longer legs than any girl i know
Switching down on Old Kent Road
With her lips on overload
Making sure the loneliness don't show
She was never he
For as long as I remember
She was never off her gender categorically
She was never he
Though the boys at school were cruel
You would have to be a fool not to see
That she was never...
Jody she was 'quelle surprice'
Fooled the boys with such a breeze
But inside her heart the terror flows
What if he should realize
Break her heart or black her eyes
These things are so important for a girl to know
She was never he
For as long as I remember
She was never off her gender categorically
She was never he
Oh this world can be so cruel
You would have to be a fool not to see
And the government says you no longer excist
It's a kick in the eye, it's the final twist
Of the Surgeons Knife
Welcome to my glamorous life
Oh the big dark man will he turn a blind eye
Love me for who i am turned me out and made me cry
She was never he
For as long as i remember
She was never off her gender categorically
She was never he
Oh this world can be so cruel
You would have to be a fool not to see
That she was never he
Cheapness And Beauty Lyrics – Boy George
This is a real addiction
confusion and cheap tattoos
A princess
a car thief
and a lost shoe
Loneliness
laughter and lust
the promise of pain
Judas in blue jeans tell me your name
Eyes across the room, unspoken
Eyes
glitter promise
Cheapness and beauty
Trickery and lies
Cheapness and beauty
Oh I'm so weak sometimes
Glue for the broken toy
wings for the saint
A buddah
a false God, and some war paint
Wasting your wisdom, yes
but who can you trust
Love holds a mirror up to all of us
Eyes across the room, unspoken
Eyes
glitter promise
Cheapness and beauty
Trickery and lies
Cheapness and beauty
Oh I need you sometimes
It's much too late to say goodbye
Despite all good advice
This pain is such a part of me
I won't apologize
For running to your rescue
Thoug you slap me in the face
It doesn't really matter
cos we always fall in love again
confusion and cheap tattoos
A princess
a car thief
and a lost shoe
Loneliness
laughter and lust
the promise of pain
Judas in blue jeans tell me your name
Eyes across the room, unspoken
Eyes
glitter promise
Cheapness and beauty
Trickery and lies
Cheapness and beauty
Oh I'm so weak sometimes
Glue for the broken toy
wings for the saint
A buddah
a false God, and some war paint
Wasting your wisdom, yes
but who can you trust
Love holds a mirror up to all of us
Eyes across the room, unspoken
Eyes
glitter promise
Cheapness and beauty
Trickery and lies
Cheapness and beauty
Oh I need you sometimes
It's much too late to say goodbye
Despite all good advice
This pain is such a part of me
I won't apologize
For running to your rescue
Thoug you slap me in the face
It doesn't really matter
cos we always fall in love again
Fat Cat Lyrics – Boy George
Another song of Woe
Woe sounds like this
You say nothing's changed
Where were you when my world
Was spinning into masquerade
You claim it's just a question of mathematics
I shut the door on your amateur dramatics
Then you think too much
And you talk too much, vicariously
Yeah you think too much
And you talk too much
Every word is substance free
You're the dirt on my collar
You're the hole in my favourite shoe
You're the last dying breath of love
You're the weight that I need to lose
And you hurt yourself
You say I'm deranged
I'll admit to being strange
But I just can't stop loving you
If the light in your eyes
Addiction came as a surprise
Didn't think I'd be so into you
Then you think too much
And you talk too much
so carelessly
Yeah you think too much
And you talk too much
Every word is substance free
You're the dirt on my collar
You're the hole in my favourite shoe
You're the last sighing breath of love
You're the weight that I need to lose
You're the dirt on my collar
You're the hole in my favourite shoe
You're the last - last dying breath of love
You're the weight that I need to lose
Woe sounds like this
You say nothing's changed
Where were you when my world
Was spinning into masquerade
You claim it's just a question of mathematics
I shut the door on your amateur dramatics
Then you think too much
And you talk too much, vicariously
Yeah you think too much
And you talk too much
Every word is substance free
You're the dirt on my collar
You're the hole in my favourite shoe
You're the last dying breath of love
You're the weight that I need to lose
And you hurt yourself
You say I'm deranged
I'll admit to being strange
But I just can't stop loving you
If the light in your eyes
Addiction came as a surprise
Didn't think I'd be so into you
Then you think too much
And you talk too much
so carelessly
Yeah you think too much
And you talk too much
Every word is substance free
You're the dirt on my collar
You're the hole in my favourite shoe
You're the last sighing breath of love
You're the weight that I need to lose
You're the dirt on my collar
You're the hole in my favourite shoe
You're the last - last dying breath of love
You're the weight that I need to lose
If I Could Fly Lyrics – Boy George
Stone by the river
got no wind in my sail
No revolutions in my soul
Hey, revelation's just
a moment away
Soon I'm gonna be old
soon you're gonna be old
Remember love is not
something you can keep
It just takes the wind
to blow it away
You look so ugly
as you lie there asleep
Boy you're pretty today
so pretty today
When I was born they poisoned my mind
They told me to fight but I'm not that kind
They said I was meek but I did not mind
It's a case of the weak chasing the blind
I see the stars have spelt
your name in the sky
I wrote it too down
here in the sand
When I first met you
you stirred nothing at all
See the cards in your hand
see the cards in your hand
And
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
I'd take to the sky
I feel so special when
I'm making you cry
I regret the things
I throw in your face
This drug will kill you darling
this is no lie
This dragon we chase
this dragon we chase
And
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
I'd take to the sky
got no wind in my sail
No revolutions in my soul
Hey, revelation's just
a moment away
Soon I'm gonna be old
soon you're gonna be old
Remember love is not
something you can keep
It just takes the wind
to blow it away
You look so ugly
as you lie there asleep
Boy you're pretty today
so pretty today
When I was born they poisoned my mind
They told me to fight but I'm not that kind
They said I was meek but I did not mind
It's a case of the weak chasing the blind
I see the stars have spelt
your name in the sky
I wrote it too down
here in the sand
When I first met you
you stirred nothing at all
See the cards in your hand
see the cards in your hand
And
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
I'd take to the sky
I feel so special when
I'm making you cry
I regret the things
I throw in your face
This drug will kill you darling
this is no lie
This dragon we chase
this dragon we chase
And
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
I'd take to the sky
Unfinished Business Lyrics – Boy George
Boy I know your secrets though you
Brag and swagger
and you lay women down
You're the same tough guy
that cried in my arms
And kissed me when the lights went down
I hear you married some
Danish girl
I'm so glad that it wasn't me
'Cause you're like so many of those
boys I've known
You break your promise easily
Unfinished business
fox in the headlights
Tears for what might have been
Unfinished business
crawling out of the woodwork
You know how to ruin
a good dream
See your life reflected in my
painted eyes
These memories are hard to shake
I pressed my lips against your
trembling flesh
And waited for your back to break
You liar, you coward, you
sleeping fool
Hey don't you know that secrets kill
Heaven and hell are right
here on Earth
Decided by your own free will
Unfinished business
fox in the headlights
Tears for what might have been
Unfinished business
crawling out of the woodwork
I know how to ruin a good dream
Now go tell your friends that I'm
mad in my head
That I don't know what I mean
You walk like Jack and you
love like Mary
And you're more than a bit of a queen
Unfinished business
You know exactly what I mean
You lie, you lie, you lie
You lie, you lie, you lie
Unfinished business, yeah tough guy
You know exactly what I mean
Brag and swagger
and you lay women down
You're the same tough guy
that cried in my arms
And kissed me when the lights went down
I hear you married some
Danish girl
I'm so glad that it wasn't me
'Cause you're like so many of those
boys I've known
You break your promise easily
Unfinished business
fox in the headlights
Tears for what might have been
Unfinished business
crawling out of the woodwork
You know how to ruin
a good dream
See your life reflected in my
painted eyes
These memories are hard to shake
I pressed my lips against your
trembling flesh
And waited for your back to break
You liar, you coward, you
sleeping fool
Hey don't you know that secrets kill
Heaven and hell are right
here on Earth
Decided by your own free will
Unfinished business
fox in the headlights
Tears for what might have been
Unfinished business
crawling out of the woodwork
I know how to ruin a good dream
Now go tell your friends that I'm
mad in my head
That I don't know what I mean
You walk like Jack and you
love like Mary
And you're more than a bit of a queen
Unfinished business
You know exactly what I mean
You lie, you lie, you lie
You lie, you lie, you lie
Unfinished business, yeah tough guy
You know exactly what I mean
Julian Lyrics – Boy George
Felt like my live revolved behind your hazel eyes
Those scatter-cushion lips, eyelashes that flutter like a butterfly
Your arms around me in the morning oh in the catalogue of life
So many things just don't add up
your just a child why should I be surprised
Why can't you pick up the phone
Oh how gutless can you be
Run as far as you can
You'll never escape me
Oh Julian don't tell me it was all just lies
Oh Julian don't keep it all internalized
Oh Julian your just a small boy in a big mans world
I said some foolish things but you took my voice away
Like an audience of one, such a lonely game to play
Hey you feel so much, have you nothing more to say
Except just leave me alone
we'll both laugh about this one day
Don't tell me the world is changing
You're living proof of just how uptight it can be
And a fag who hates himself is her own worse enemy
Oh Julian was it anything for fame
Oh Julian will ya do it all again
Oh Julian the fizz has gone from your champagne
I hold nothing back, I give it all away
I am the Thunder 317
blue eyed, vulnerable seeking and similar
Camp-acting, very scene, Im flaming, Im screaming
looking for someone brave enough to love me
Oh Julian don't tell me it was all just lies
Oh Julian don't keep it all internalized
Oh Julian your just a small boy in a big mans world
Those scatter-cushion lips, eyelashes that flutter like a butterfly
Your arms around me in the morning oh in the catalogue of life
So many things just don't add up
your just a child why should I be surprised
Why can't you pick up the phone
Oh how gutless can you be
Run as far as you can
You'll never escape me
Oh Julian don't tell me it was all just lies
Oh Julian don't keep it all internalized
Oh Julian your just a small boy in a big mans world
I said some foolish things but you took my voice away
Like an audience of one, such a lonely game to play
Hey you feel so much, have you nothing more to say
Except just leave me alone
we'll both laugh about this one day
Don't tell me the world is changing
You're living proof of just how uptight it can be
And a fag who hates himself is her own worse enemy
Oh Julian was it anything for fame
Oh Julian will ya do it all again
Oh Julian the fizz has gone from your champagne

Wrong Lyrics – Boy George
Allow me my own diginity...
I came to the city with my head so full of dreams
The city was safe alright but not from me
See I've been in trouble since I lay my suitcase down
I love the sound of my own voice, but now I want it drowned
I've got nothing to be proud of
There's so little I possess
I gave away my love and my, my diginity
And somehow I covered up the rest
How did it all go so wrong?
It was nothing like this in the magazines
I can hear my fathers voice, hear his laughter in the wind
saying boy you'll never amount to anything
I clutched at desire I never listened to my heart
I didn't know I had one, that it could beat so fast
Oh I've been a user, such a liar, such a fake
Always thinking of myself, always on the make
Now I've got nothing I can give you
Except self-pity and regret
but if you let me prove I love you
I'll be the one boy you'll never forget
How did it all go so wrong?
It was nothing like this on the Tv screen
I can hear my mothers voice, hear her crying in the wind
saying boy, baby boy, you can be anything
How did it all go so wrong?
It was nothing like this in the magazines
I can hear my fathers voice, hear his laughter in the wind
He was right, I'll never be anything
He was right, I'll never be anything
I came to the city with my head so full of dreams
The city was safe alright but not from me
See I've been in trouble since I lay my suitcase down
I love the sound of my own voice, but now I want it drowned
I've got nothing to be proud of
There's so little I possess
I gave away my love and my, my diginity
And somehow I covered up the rest
How did it all go so wrong?
It was nothing like this in the magazines
I can hear my fathers voice, hear his laughter in the wind
saying boy you'll never amount to anything
I clutched at desire I never listened to my heart
I didn't know I had one, that it could beat so fast
Oh I've been a user, such a liar, such a fake
Always thinking of myself, always on the make
Now I've got nothing I can give you
Except self-pity and regret
but if you let me prove I love you
I'll be the one boy you'll never forget
How did it all go so wrong?
It was nothing like this on the Tv screen
I can hear my mothers voice, hear her crying in the wind
saying boy, baby boy, you can be anything
How did it all go so wrong?
It was nothing like this in the magazines
I can hear my fathers voice, hear his laughter in the wind
He was right, I'll never be anything
He was right, I'll never be anything
Letter For A School Friend Lyrics – Boy George
I read your letter and I wept inside
You and me were so much alive
So much pain so many tears to hide

The Deal Lyrics – Boy George
Black woman on the street with attitude
Spits through her teeth and stares at you
White boy with the living blues
Spreads his hatred on a crowded tube
Some days I feel removed
But all I can do is think of you
I feel like I am being used yeh yeh
Well you bruise me and you batter me
and you make me feel the twist
I try to convince myself
that im strong because of this
My friends say Im beautiful
But it's time to get real
I try to find some hatred
But I can't change the way I feel
And this murder happens all around my heals
But it aint real you are the deal
And theres poison flowing all around my head
And here I am all alone in bed
OId queen on the ship of fools
you're worried that it might sail for you
White lies from the broken youth
Who hasn't got the nerve to counsell you
Some days I feel amused
But all I can do is think of you
I feel like I've been such a fool yeh yeh
Well you bruise me and you batter me
and you make me feel like dirt
And just for one minute
I've forgotten what I'm worth
My friends say you're beautiful
But it's time I got real
Im staring at your picture
But I can't change the way I feel
And this murder happens all around my heals
But it aint real you are the deal
And this poisons flowing all around my head
And here I am filled with regret
Is it not enough
to just feel the love
and give it
why cant you give it
Is it not enough
to just feel the love
and live it
why cant you live it
why cant you give it
oh why cant you give it
why cant you give it
oh why cant you give it
You are the deal
You are the deal
You are the deal
You are the deal
Spits through her teeth and stares at you
White boy with the living blues
Spreads his hatred on a crowded tube
Some days I feel removed
But all I can do is think of you
I feel like I am being used yeh yeh
Well you bruise me and you batter me
and you make me feel the twist
I try to convince myself
that im strong because of this
My friends say Im beautiful
But it's time to get real
I try to find some hatred
But I can't change the way I feel
And this murder happens all around my heals
But it aint real you are the deal
And theres poison flowing all around my head
And here I am all alone in bed
