Culture Club Album

He could word it out like a dangerous man
How could you value his intentions
Martin had the devil just like anyone can
He spoke words they were frightened to mention

Chorus:
Yesterday ain't gone
We just pushed it aside
Out in the jungle
There ain't nowhere you can hide

There's a different smile on your face today
Though you wear it well
There's a lot to say
There's a different mood in the world tonight
We can do it right

John he washed it over with a confidence tan
I konw that peace and love ain't prevention
Brian in the closet with his master plan
Build them up it's so sad they forget you

(chorus)

Are we not men
Did you save us?
Are we not men
Did you try, did you try?

We have been, we have been, we have been
We have been denied

I could word it out like a dangerous man
If they landed here we'd collect them
Yellow, black or white here in the circus of men
I don't know I don't care I forget you

War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And love means nothing
In some strange quarters
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And I heard them banging
On hearts and fingers
People fill the world
With narrow confidence
Like a child at birth
A man with no defense
What's mine is my own
I won't give it to you
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
Now we're fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Won't somebody help me?
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And love means nothing
In some strange quarters
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And I heard them banging
On hearts and fingers
Man is far behind
In the search for something new
Like a Philistine
We're burning witches too
This world of fate
Must be designed for you
It matters what you say
It matters what you do
Now we're fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Won't somebody help me?
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And love means nothing
In some strange quarters
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And I heard them banging
On hearts and fingers
After the bird has flown
He walked ten thousand
Miles back home
You can't do that to me, no
You can't do that to me
You can't do that to me, no
You can't do that to me
In this heart of mine
I find a place for you
For black or white
For all the children, too
Now we're fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Won't somebody help me?
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And love means nothing
In some strange quarters
War war is stupid
And people are stupid
And I heard them banging
On hearts and fingers

Breaking out of school
Ain't really fooling no one
I was sure I'd get my reward in time
Backing uo the street
With the smell of sweet sensation
Didn't want to be another dime
Hidden in the pocket
Of some unfortunate nation
Didn't have no money, sure didn't have the time

Chorus:
Unfortunate thing, such an unfortunate thing
Unfortunate thing, such an unfortunate thing
But I fought with nothing
But I fought with nothing

Laughing at the rumor
That you've been screwing someone
Laugh better cry
It could be your turn next time
Brother what a lover beyond the fourth dimesion
He's got an ego
That's bigger than yours and mine

(chorus)

Don't call me Bwana
Let it settle in your heart
We move from children
Into a business counterpart
Your head was shaking as I walked into the room
A spirit breaking
That's why I feel this way

Breaking out of school
Ain't really fooling no one
I was sure I'd get my reward in time
Backing up a street
With a smell of sweet sensation
Didn't want to be another dime

(chorus)

Death cab for cutie
Sung it like a beauty
Stepped out forgetting
Danger has a duty
Lonely night
He wants to squeeze her tight

They murder for a dollar
No one hears you holler
Wrap up your baby
Then you'll be a scholar

Chorus:
Love stops knocking, your heart starts rocking
It's crime time

Out on the main land
Hit him with a right hand
Stepped on his ego
Now he fells like a man
Do it right
It's a lonely fight

Playing fats waller
Lipstick on your collar
Back in 1950
People had their honour

(chorus)

They murder for a dollar
No one hears you holler
Wrap up your baby
Then you'll be a scholar

You can't bystand all the people
Stand them on their own
They will fall to pieces
So we watch them grow
Into strange and pretty faces
I don't know
Clutching to my lipstick traces
Watch them go

And make mistake number three, yeah
(Mistake number three)
Make mistake number three
(Mistake number three)
Make mistake number three, yeah
(Mistake number three)
Make mistake number three
(Mistake number three)

It's strange how much it changes
How they want to know
How cynical are people
That's where children go
Dragged into a conversation
They can't hold
It's so sad, but it prepares them
For the mould

And make mistake number three, yeah
(Mistake number three)
Make mistake number three
(Mistake number three)
Make mistake number three, yeah
(Mistake number three)
They make mistake number three
(Mistake number)

Why is my love
Like an ocean run dry
And why is my love
Such a struggle with life

You can't bystand all the people
Stand them on their own
They will fall to pieces
So we watch them grow
Oh

Make mistake number three, yeah
(Mistake number three)
Make mistake number three
(Mistake number three)
Make mistake number three, yeah
(Mistake number three)
Make mistake number three
You make your mistakes
(Mistake number three)

(Mistake number three)
Yeah
Mistake number three
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That's mistake number three
The mistakes you made
Mistakes you made
Mistakes
(Mistake)
Number three
Mistake
(Number three).

When I wake up feeling victimized
There is nothing that can stop my eyes
From crying, crying
Nobody likes to be alone
When you put the pressure down on me
'Cause I don't quite fit your imagery
I'm trying, trying

Baby, I'm no Superman
Baby, I'm no Superman

Eyes like a deep blue sea
Yes, to dive in
Dive in
Love that you give to me
We're surviving
Surviving
When love is gone
I can't carry on

When you know that love is on my mind
When you know that love is on my mind
It's a perfect chance to be unkind
You do it, do it
Within the realms of misery
Being sly, you take a chance on crime
But the master has a new design
On loving, living

Out and in the enemy
Out and in the enemy

Eyes like a deep blue sea
Yes, to dive in
Dive in
Love that you give to me
We're surviving
Surviving
When love is gone
I can't carry on

Eyes that open wide
Do you do
The love you give the child
Do you do
Why do you do that to me

Oh yeah

When I wake up feeling victimized
There is nothing that can stop my eyes
From crying, crying
Nobody likes to be alone
When you put the pressure down on me
'Cause I don't quite fit your imagery
I'm trying, trying

Baby, I'm no Superman
Hey baby, I'm no Superman

Eyes like a deep blue sea
Yes, to dive in
Dive in
Love that you give to me
We're surviving
'Viving
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Yes, to dive in
Dive in
Love that you give to me
We're surviving
Surviving

Eyes like a deep blue sea
Yes, to dive in
Dive in
Love that you give to me
We're surviving
Surviving
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Yes, to dive in
Dive in
Love that you give to me
We're surviving
Surviving

Eyes like a deep blue sea
Yes, we dive in
Dive in
Love that you give to me
We're surviving
Surviving
Love that you give to me, oh
(Dive in)
Dive in
Love that you give to me
We're surviving
'Viving
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Yes, to dive in
Dive in
Love that you give to me
We're surviving
Surviving
Eyes like a deep blue sea
Yes, to dive in.

You used to say
Love and be loved
All the time
Till you discovered
Fellings were a failure sign
When it rains
It rains so hard
The tears begin to show
When it's raining in my heart
I want the world to know

Chorus:
Life will never be the same
As it was again
Life will never be the same
As it was again
Through my anger and my joy
My tears and pain

Beneath the sea of Hollywood
Where Francis used to reign
They trade their deepest wishes
For a part in someone's game
Spirits die alone at night
For life they cannot hold
I would rather dance with you
Than have a medal to show

(chorus)

We are just everyday people
Not a theatre company
Everyone wants to join us
There's no fear in us you see
It's me for you
And you for me

Sun go east, sun go west
Will I wear a medal again
Sun go east, son go west
We can dance and bring on the rain

Now I say love for love
Not for a space in time
The strangest things
Can shatter kings
And take away what's mine
When it's raining in my heart
I want the world to know
I would rather dance with you
Than have a medal to show

(chorus)

Sun go east, sun go west
Will I wear a medal again
Sun go east, son go west
We can dance and bring on the rain

I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you smiling
My heart was terrorised
Lust among the millions
Another suicide

Chorus:
When I think that love was there
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna talk about it
The pain we share
While they just talk about it
While they just talk about it

A hand reached out to touch me
A letter hit the pile
I felt my life revolving
Like fingers in a dial
Just then I stopped believing
But only for a while

When I think that love was there
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna talk about it
The pain we share

While they just talk about it
While they just talk about it

When I think that love was there

Don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna talk about it

Don't give it up
Don't count on their loving
Don't give it up, don't try
Don't give it up
Don't count on their loving
Dont give it up, don't try

Don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna talk about it

(chorus)

When I think that love was there

I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you crying
A victim of your pride
But you are no civilian
So open up your eyes

(chorus)

He's the mannequin of your dreams
You designed him
Nothing will stand in your way
A punch in the heart
Won't tear him apart
Neither will the things they say

Cause he's a beggar lover believer
You are just an innocent reader

He's the mannequin of your dreams
Step inside him
Look at the world his way
Laughter is loud
From the fool in the crowd
You'll crack his smile one day

Every dream must follow where we go
Don't let them shatter your ego

Mannequin, lover mannequin, lover mannequin (x2)

I gave you evey bit of my time
You lied and you committed a crime
To present my feelings
With shallow meanings
How could you tear me apart?

He's the mannequin of your dreams
You denied him
Laughter and political sway
People are sweet
But the primitive beat
Is always getting in my way

I can give you nothing but me though
It isn't what you want to see oh

Mannequin

Chorus:
Hello hello goodbye
Hello hello goodbye
Hello hello goodbye

The rhythm of the jungle
A temperamental beast
Makes the mountain tremble
Brings giants to their knees

If I ask you to stay
You might leave anyway
But the situations fallen from my hands

(chorus)

I feel exasperation
Get down on your knees
I called the operator
But this is where I freeze

I said hello
I said hello
I said hello
I've got to go

Do you love me?
Do you love me?
No
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
No
I've got to go

(chorus)
