Life (2018) - Boy George (with Culture Club)












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

This Is What I Do (2013)












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
