Boy George Album

[No lyrics]

Sexual attraction, its all in the eye
Somebody rejects you, don't you feel like you could die
Cos your lying here with your pretty head in my lap
Stripped to the waist, higher than the stars
Just for a moment I looked in the mirror and saw

You're drunk on the stuff you're in love with love
It ain't about him your in love with love
Sweet St Christopher you got a cheeky grin
But in love or war no one ever wins
You ain't no spider in a web and you were'nt trapped
Then I felt like a devil and you looked extremely bored
I know whats up fool you got the bug
Don't be no sucker your heart is tough

Everyones in love with love

But what you refuse to hear, it can never hurt
And please think of me next time your poor heart hurts

Tasha was a stunning vision, painted eyes with such precision
Longer legs than any girl I know
Swishing down the Old Kent Road, with her hips on overload
Making sure the lonliness don't show

She was never he for as long as I remember
She was never of 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...

Jodie she was quelle surprise, to fool the boys was such a breeze
But deep inside her heart the terror flowed
What if he should realise, 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 of her gender categorically
She was never he though though this world could be so cruel
You would have to be a fool not to see

And the government says you no longer exist
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
Turn me out and make me cry

She was never he for as long as I remember
She was never of her gender categorically
She was never he though this world could be so cruel
You would have to be a fool not to see

She was never he for as long as I remember
She was never of her gender categorically
She was never he though this world could be so cruel
You would have to be a fool not to see
that she was never...

This is a real addiction, confusion and cheap tattoos
Lonliness, laughter, lust, the promise of pain

Eyes, glitter promise
Trickery and lies
Oh I'm so weak sometimes
Glue for the broken toy, the wings for the saint
Wasting your wisdom, yes, but who can you trust

Eyes, glitter promise
Trickery and lies
Oh I'm weak sometimes
It's much too late to say goodbye
This pain is such a part of me

Though you slap me in the face
'cause we always fall in love again
Cheapness and beauty
Cheapness and beauty

Trickery and lies
I won't apologise
Cheapness and beauty
Cheapness and beauty

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 dying 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, the last dying 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 dying breath of love
You're the weight that I need to lose

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 leaving 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
I said oh if I could fly
Don't you know that if I could fly
I'd take to the sky

I feel so special when I'm making you cry
But I regret the things I throw in your face, I do
This drug will kill you darling this is no lie
This dragon we chase, this dragon we chase

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 fooling the blind

And Oh if I could fly
I said oh if I could fly
Don't you know that if I could fly
I'd take to the sky

And Oh if I could fly
I said oh if I could fly
Don't you know that if I could fly
I'd take to the sky, yes I would

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
Cuz 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
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, yeah tough guy
You know exactly what I mean

You lie, you lie, you lie
You lie, you lie, you lie

Unfinished business, yeah
You know exactly what I mean

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

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

[No lyrics]

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

[No lyrics]

How does it feel, what do you do
When he's all alone with you
Do you kiss him, hold his hand
Who's the woman who's the man

Is it twisted it is sick
Mother nature's little trick
I don't have to feel no shame
In God's image I am made

Your brother doesn't understand
How you could love another man
Your poor father thinks we're cursed
It's the same thing in reverse

It's the same thing in reverse
Nothing better nothing worse
It's the same thing in reverse
It's the same thing it's the same thing

Love is! La de dah

What can you say where do you go
Do you want the world to know
Make a prison of your fear
Be a kamikaze queer

Bite my lip hold my tongue
Hope I'm not the only one
I don't have to be afraid
In God's image I am made

Your brother doesn't understand
How you could love another man
And your poor father thinks we're cursed
It's the same thing in reverse

It's the same thing in reverse
Nothing better nothing worse
It's the same thing in reverse
It's the same thing it's the same thing

Do I love him, yes I love him
So don't question my affection
This is not some damn affliction
It's just love in contradiction

It's the same thing, it's the same thing

Black boys in cars (it's the same thing)
White boys with poisonous hearts (it's the same thing)
Even on the one eyed guru (it's the same thing)
And why the hell you looking at me (it's the same thing)

I never wanted to be part of the gang (it's the same thing)
I never saw this as part of my plan (it's the same thing)
I walk down the street with pride (it's the same thing)
Happy that you're by my side

Mother clutches the head of her dying son
Sensitive boy, good with his hands
Here in this cold white room
It's hard to imagine him as he used to be
Laughing screaming tumbling queen
Whirling swirling never blue

But the anger and the tears do not take the pain away
Before it touches you, before it touches me
Tied up to these machines

Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen
How could you go and die, what a lonely thing to do
Did you ever ask those strangers what they're looking for?
You were hurt by love but still you came right back for more

From Bombay to Bangalore
All the hindus know the score
If you wanna live some more
Hare hare hare

If you do not take the vow
You can eat the sacred cow
You'll get karma anyhow
Hare hare hare

Chorus:
Bow down mister
Hare rama hare krishna
Bow down mister
We say radha syam

Do the right thing with your hands
Lay down on the pleasing sands
Whatever else your faith demands
Hare hare hare

From Bombay to Rajastan
Nitai gaura radha syam
Hare krishna hare ram
Hare hare hare

Chorus

In the desert jahshamire
They put kun kun in your hair
At the westerners they stare
Hare hare hare

Paint a tilak on your brow
Open like a lotus flower
It's time to check your karma now
Hare hare hare

Chorus

Raise your head and lift your hands to the lord

Hare krishna hare krishna
krishna krishna hare hare
hare ram hare ram
rama rama hare hare
