White Boy
Album Version
Black boys employ salassie
We kiss to define
White hands, white hearts, the gender
How can I make you mine

Take me to God
In a world of blank kisses
Who breaks the colors
I know what this is
A one man show
That's how we know
That's how we know
You're white does it show

You're white (dance like an enemy)
You're white (dance like an enemy)
You're white (dance like an enemy)
You're...

White boys fall out
In a whirl of decisions
Show me what is
Then show me what isn't
A heart too slow
That's how we know
That's how we know
You're white does the blood flow

You're white (dance like an enemy)
You're white (dance like an enemy)
You're white (dance like an enemy)
You're so white

White boy
White boy
White boy
White boy
White boy
White boy

White boy dance
Do something sweet
Like pull my heart
Like use your feet
Let's steal some culture
Let's fake this dance
A white boy kiss
A white boy chance
Don't take me over
Abuse my heart
When I change color
I'm here stop start

You're white
You're white
You're white
You're white
You're white (dance like an enemy)
You're white (dance like an enemy)
You're white (dance like an enemy)
You're white (dance like an enemy)

Hey devil kiss me
I'm taking chances
Not faking my culture
The rhythm it dances
I love your wisdom
I love your mind
White boys are babies (Not my kind)
This lust is fashion
That's my sin
By falling out
We're falling in
Now I'm broken
Watch it flow
I'm taking over
Can't let go (falling out with the big boys)

Love Twist
(Toast performed by Captain Crucial)
Footsteps movements finding people
Clutch to the forbidden soul
Twisting words to find a reason
How am I supposed to throw
Questions that I cannot answer?
Watch those boys they dance and go
Hung up like the rules that made them
I'll be gone before you know

If I cry
Let me be told
Or give me something
That I can hold

Rhythms take me
Do I need it
Will we kiss, will you let go
Twisting hearts or how we bleed them
How am I supposed to throw
Memories from where I keep them?
Words will only make us slow
We are brave on the assumption
She'll be back before you know

If I cry
Let me go
Or give me something
That I can hold

Toast:
bbrreecom, one selection shock attack
I chant for the white and black
bbbrrr/ let me tell ya
Let me tell you
Let me tell you 'bout love
Let me tell you
Let me tell you 'bout love
It's sweet like sugar
It's pretty like a dove
RRRRRRRR (RIGHT)
(repeat this section)

But me say
B it is for Babylon
F it is for fall
Me chant it pon a mike
Me bring dis love to one and all
Because I love ya

SSSSPRUNGDIDDLYDIDDLYLUV YA

RRRRRRRR (RIGHT)

And when you see me come
No bother sight up what you see
You sight a natty dreadlocks
Just me flashing down the street
WE DEAL IN LOVE

Footsteps movements finding people
Clutch to the forbidden soul
Twisting words to find a reason
How am I supposed to throw
Questions that I cannot answer?
Watch those boys they dance and go
Hung up like the rules that made them
I'll be gone before you know

If I cry
Let me be told
Or give me something
That I can hold

Love Twist featured as the B-side of White Boy and was the first of two Culture Club tracks to feature Captain Crucial - also known as Amos. The other track, Murder Rap Trap, features Captain Crucial as lead vocalist and appeared as the B-side of I'm Afraid Of Me, and the B-side of Mystery Boy in Japan.
Murder Rap Trap
The only Culture Club song not to feature Boy George on lead vocals. Complete lyrics to this song are impossible to come by, but is an autobiographical song about Captain Crucial (Amos) and his involvement with Culture Club.

You Know I'm Not Crazy
Say your mind has an overload
Your heart beats rhythm hot and cold
Your stature has a naked buzz
When you're near you're not like us

You know I'm not crazy
You know I'm not crazy

I caught on to the way you smile
Love could only last a while
I couldn't love, I could'nt touch
The situation was too much

You know I'm not crazy
You know I'm not crazy

Your love fails me
Your love it fails me
Your love fails me
Your love it drives me crazy

Don't tell me that lovers always mistrust
The lies in your eyes, the death in your lust
It's more than distraction, you touch you feel
Our hearts dance apart and you say this is real

You know I'm not crazy

Talk about the love we feel
The passion that our hearts conceal
Kiss and run the fools we trust
Love inside a blinding lust

You know I'm not crazy
You know I'm not crazy

Hold me to my every word
Forget about the things you heard
Time will conquer, time will state
We owe every tear to hate

You know I'm not crazy
You know I'm not crazy

Your love fails me
Your love it fails me
Your love fails me
Your love it drives me crazy

I'm Afraid Of Me
Some days in more ways
I need the distraction
Fire, desire, love and reaction
He must be someone
Yes, even me
Something for nothing
Some wish to see

Life beyond reason
Who will I be (who will i be)

I'm afraid of me
I'm afraid of me

Always survive days
Cut and discretion
Touched in a sane way
Leave no impression
He must be someone
Yes, even you
Fool my direction
Some wish to see

Love without treason
Who will love me (who will love me)

I'm afraid of me
I'm afraid of me
(afraid to love you)
I'm afraid of me
I'm afraid of me

Take Control
No defeat
Your dance is sweet
'Cause you ripped it from my soul
I'll kiss you
And we'll throw a view
It's the only way to take control

Boy I'm sweet
When you've got me beat
I can't turn it, I feel cold
It's for you
That my love is true
Got to blind a boy to take control

Take control (take it)
Take control (take it)
Take control (take it)
Take control

I was there
But you didn't care
And I know you're using me
(If it's true I've got the best of you)

Take control (take it)
Take control (take it)
Take control (take it)
Take control

Take control (god would let this thing go)
Take control (god would let this thing go)
Take control (god would let this thing go)

Boy, Boy (I'm The Boy)
Words that pull the trigger
Fear the haunting sound
Haunts you to consider
Love might bring you around to
Face a blind emotion
Words like hey let's try
Words like thinking it over
They just don't apply

I'm the boy you made me
I'm the boy, I'm the boy
I'm the boy you made me
I'm the boy, I'm the boy

Love is what you make it
Love the overflow
Play if you can take it
Some they just don't know if
All the rules they're making
Break somebody's heart
What's the use in taking
Babies fall apart

I'm the boy you made me
I'm the boy, I'm the boy
I'm the boy you made me
I'm the boy, I'm the boy

You made me realise
That love is just a word
That goes unheard in a situation
Where love is nothing
And you are all I can see

This boy's in love with you
You're everything I can see
This boy's in love with you
You have taken it all away from me

Do You Really Want To Hurt Me
Give me time
To realise my crime
Let me love and steal
I have danced inside your eyes
How can I be real

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Precious kisses
Words that burn me
Lovers never ask you why
In my heart
The fires burning
Choose my colour
Find a star
Precious people always tell me
That's a step
A step too far

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry

Words are few
I have spoken
I could waste a thousand years
Wrapped in sorrow
Words are token
Come inside/and catch my tears
You've been talking
But believe me

If it's true
You do not know
This boy loves without a reason
I'm prepared
To let you go

If it's love you want from me
Then take it away
Everything is not what you see
It's over again

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry

Love Is Cold (You Were Never No Good)
you were never no good (x4)

oh no...
you say that love is wrong
'cause I know that love is strong
when you get it from some they say
that love is just thrown away
did they ever love you my way

you were never no good (x4)

oh no...
someone is gonna pay
for taking my heart away
if it's love that you want to show
how am I supposed to know
in my way

you were never no good (x20)

did you say that love is wrong
you showed you were weak from the strong
you keep leaving me to feel
that wicked emotion you steal
you don't understand

Time (Clock of the Heart)
Don't put your head on my shoulder
Sink me in a river of tears
This could be the best place yet
But you must overcome your fears

Ooh, in time
It could have been so much more
The time is precious I know
In time
It could have been so much more
The time has nothing to show

Because
Time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me
We know we've got
Nothin' but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time
(Time, time, time)

Don't make me feel any colder
Time is like a clock in my heart
Touch we touch, was the heat too much
I felt I lost you from the start

I'll Tumble 4 Ya
Downtown we'll drown
We're in our never splendor
Flowers, showers
Who's got the new boy gender

I'll be your baby, I'll be your score
I'll run the gun for you and so much more

I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 you

I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble

Uptown their sound
It's like the native you send her
Junction, function
The boy with pop is slender

Did he say maybe or I'm not sure
He'll be a boy for you but you need more

I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 you

I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble

I get a crazy feeling
That chases in my head
It's nothing that you do to me
It's nothing that you said
It's love in stereo
And when I can't let go I say

I'll be your baby, I'll be your score
I'll run the gun for you and so much more

I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 you

I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble

Downtown we'll drown
We're in our never splendor
Flowers, showers
Who's got the new boy gender

I'll be your baby, I'll be your score
I'll run the gun for you and so much more

I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 you

I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble 4 ya
I'll tumble

White Boys Can't Control It
When you're a white boy
Life gets you high
You hold out thinking
That you know why
You hold out
With the law of men
And when you die
You're born again

Put down your gun
And find your heart
We're dying soldiers
We don't dance for the devil

When you're a white boy
Your life is lust
You kiss and run
And you mistrust
You hold out
With the nowhere men
You dance your dance
And try again

Put down your gun
And find your heart
We're dying soldiers
In the dark (we are no rebels)

You know white boys (can't control it)
You know white boys (never hold it)
You know white boys (hard to swallow)
You know white boys always follow

(follow who)

Put down your gun
And find your heart
We're dying soldiers
We don't dance for the devil

Mystery Boy
Ooh mystery boy
Ooh mystery boy

It's too sad to point the finger
I told the boy to look at me
But what you say it never lingers
It's not what you say, but what you see

Boy look at me
I couldn't look no better see

Ooh mystery boy
Ooh mystery boy

It's too sad that love would sting you
You told the girl that it would be
A kind of love that's deep within you
A boy's a boy, but did they say he'd be

For eternity?
Or just a mystery

Ooh mystery boy
Ooh mystery boy
Ooh mystery boy
Ooh mystery boy

Mystery boy
ooh
ooh
Mystery Mystery Mystery boy

It's too sad to point the finger
I told the boy to look at me
It's too sad that love might sting you
You told the girl that it would be
Some kind of love that's deep within you
Some dream that's hard to see

Mystery boy

Man Shake
Man shake
Man shake
Man shake
Man shake

I've got this nasty camera
One snap it stole my soul
If you're left feeling lonely
One is the place to go

Now I never bothered
With things I cannot see
And now I've heard the drum track
You're just a basic enemy

Man shake
Man shake
Man shake
Man shake

I've told you out there, up there
A promise you can't see
But with your devil camera
You take your chance with me

Now we're passing strangers
Who knows what we'll be
Tried to re-arrange us
Who would shake your effigy

Man shake
Man shake
Man shake
Man shake

Church Of The Poison Mind
Desolate loving in your eyes
You used and made my life so sweet
Step out like a God found child
I saw your eyes across the street

Who would be the fool to take you
Be more than just kind
Step into a life of maybe
Love is jard to find

In the church of the posion mind
In the church of the posion mind
In the church of the posion mind

Watch me clinging to the beat
I had to fight to miake it mine
That religion you could sink it neat
Just move your feet an' you'll feel fine

Who would be the fool to maybe
Trick a kiss in time
Who am I to say that's crazy
Love will make you blind

In the church of the posion mind
In the church of the posion mind
In the church of the posion mind

Mister Man
On the street they're preaching violence
Mr Man it's in your head
On the street the midnight cowboy
Needs no gun to shoot you dead

Why do I act the way I do
Ain't it obvious I'm just a man like you

Mister Man full of love
Mister Man full of hate
Got his heart on the trigger
But he pulled it too late
Mister Man is a pilot
Mister Man is a fake
Mister Man is feeling hungry
And he's lying in wait

On the streets the lights are fighting
Searching for someone like you
Better find a good Messiah
To help the sad and lonely through

Why do I act the way I do
Ain't it obvious I'm much more black than blue

Mister Man full of love
Mister Man full of hate
Got his heart on the trigger
But he pulled it too late
Mister Man is a pilot
Mister Man is a fake
Mister Man is feeling hungry
And he's lying in wait

On the street they're preaching violence
Mr Man it's in your head
On the street the midnight cowboy
Needs no guns to shoot you dead

Why do I act the way I do
Ain't it obvious I'm just a man like you

Mister Man full of love
Mister Man full of hate
Got his heart on the trigger
But he pulled it too late
Mister Man is a pilot
Mister Man is a fake
Mister Man is feeling hungry
And he's lying in wait

Stormkeeper
Ooh I have love sweeter than lies
Gave you no reason not to decide
Say you are leaving, you've got too much pride
It's not love if you have it to hide it

Oh woe who is the man
Who puts waves on the sand
It's the stormkeeper, stormkeeper
Live in my life
When I need to survive
Is the storm keeping you warm
Keeping you warm

Oh I have cried so many times
But only for things that never were mine
Heaven is sweet, love is unkind
Thoughts are twisted inside of your mind

Don't let them tell you
That this love is wrong
And don't let them fool you
That this love can't go on

Karma Chameleon
Desert loving in your eyes all the way
If I listen to your lies would you say
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go
You come and go

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
Loving would be easy
If your colours were like my dream
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green

Didn't hear your wicked words every day
And you used to be so sweet I heard you say
That my love was an addiction
When we cling our love is strong
When you go you're gone forever
You string along
You string along

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
Loving would be easy
If your colours were like my dream
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green

Every day is like survival
You're my lover not my rival
Every day is like survival
You're my lover not my rival

I'm a man with conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go
You come and go

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
Loving would be easy
If your colours were like my dream
Red, gold and green
Red, gold and green

That's The Way (I'm Only Trying To Help You)
Clowns caress you
Figures undress your fears
Induce the crowd beyond emotion
Shedding tears as big as the ocean
Don't say you didn't hear us calling
Ooh ooh you'll be sorry in the morning
When we tell you mother had tears in her eyes
She's the only one that never cries

That's the way we destroy baby
Shut it out, shut it out
That's the way we destroy baby
Shut it out of your mind
That's the way, that's the way

If I address you
And you see me in the shadows falling
Call, caress me
Hey I woke up on my own this morning
Don't say you didn't hear us calling
Ooh ooh you'll be sorry in the morning
When we tell you mother had tears in her eyes
She's the only one that never lies

That's the way we destroy baby
Shut it out, shut it out
That's the way we destroy baby
Shut it out of your mind
That's the way, that's the way

I'm only trying to help you baby
(Only trying to help you)
I'm only trying to help you baby
(Only trying to help you)
I'm only trying to help you

Black Money
Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in?
Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in, oh yeah

Fortunes find you
Cross out every emotion
Standing right behind
A shadow of devotion

Somebody else's life cannot be mine

But when you love someone
And they don't love you in return
When you love someone
You got money to burn

Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in?
Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in, oh woh

I believe that nothing
Could come between us
Magic potions
Won't you save them for dreamers

Somebody else's life cannot be mine

But when you love someone
And they don't love you in return
When you love someone
You got money to burn

Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in?
Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in, oh woh

Give me some love
But don't waste my time (oh black money)
I'd love you again
But you must be mine (oh black money yeah)
Give me some love
But don't waste my time (oh black money)

Victims
The victims we know so well
They shine in your eyes
When they kiss and tell
Strange places we never see
But you're always there
Like a ghost in my dream
And I keep on telling you
Please don't do the things you do
When you do those things
Pull my puppet strings
I have the strangest void for you

We love and we never tell
What places our hearts in the wishing well
Love leads us into the stream
And it's sink or swim
Like it's always been
And I keep on loving you
It's the only thing to do
When the angel sings
There are greater things
Can I give them all to you

Pull the strings of emotion
Take a ride into unknown pleasure
Feel like a child on a dark night
Wishing there was some kind of heaven
I could be warm with you smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims we know them so well...

The victims we know so well
They shine in your eyes when they kiss and tell
Strange places we never see
But you're always there like a ghost in my dream
And I keep on telling you
Please don't do the things you do
When you do those things, pull my puppet strings
I have the strangest void for you

Show my heart some devotion
Push aside those that whisper never
Feel like a child on a dark night
Wishing there were some kind of heaven
I could be warm with you smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims we know them so well, so well...

Colour By Numbers
When I looked in your eyes
Felt the spirit of man
Demanding more than just a smile
Took a chance for a while
Speaking in tongues
That float us down rivers
The past will remind us

All colours we chose

When i told you those lies
Felt the spirit of love
Demanding more than comprimise
Took a chance for a while
Speaking in tongues
That float us down rivers
The past will remind us

All colours we chose

Some people say that the way that we live
Is out of this place
And some people say that the way that we live
Is blinded by fate

All colours we chose

Changing Every Day
Someone says Wake up child
And throw your life away
See you in the crime file
What will your mama say

Sometimes you get angry
No focus on your life
When people get hungry
They learn how to survive

Changing every day
Changing every day
I said we're changing every day
Changing every day

Summer syncopation
The space between your eyes
Is a place for heroes
That never compromise

Sometimes you get lonely
No focus or surprise
Pushed into production
What a way to live our lives

Changing every day
Changing every day
I said we're changing every day
Changing every day

It's A Miracle
Guns that cross the street
You never know who you might meet
Who's in disguise
Ooh as you blow a storm
There's no one there to keep you warm
It's no surprise there's something in my eyes

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
And dreams are made of emotion

Dance with the counterfeit
The plastic smiles and micro heat
I'll meet you there, I'll meet you there
Run to the edge of town
Where Hollywood lay its footprints down
Monroe was there but do you really care

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
And dreams are made of emotion

Cry it's a miracle
Cry it's a miracle
Cry it's a miracle
Cry it's a miracle

Guns that cross the street
You never know who you might meet
Who's in disguise, who's in disguise
Ooh as you blow a storm
There's no one there to keep you warm
It's no surprise there's something in my eyes

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
And dreams are made of emotion

Miss Me Blind
Miss me
I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me blind

I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me blind

Bet you got a good gun
Bet you know how
To have some fun and then
You turn it around on me
Because I'm better than the rest of the men

I say you'll miss me
And you always do
I say you'll miss me
Now would I lie to you

Now there's no need to demand
Grab my golden hand
I'll teach you and you'll never be sure
If the way that you need
Is too much like greed
Decide if you are rich or you're poor

I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me blind

Bet you make the fool run
Bet you know how
To make it last forever
But you know
I'm never really sure
If you're just kissing to be clever

I say you'll miss me
And you always do
I say you'll miss me
Now would I lie to you

Now there's no need to demand
Grab my golden hand
I'll teach you and you'll never be sure
If the way that you need
Is too much like greed
Decide if you are rich or you're poor

Because the love
That I have to give
Must be better than that kind
It can make you rich
It can make you poor
But I know that you'll miss me blind

I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me blind

Melting Pot
Take a pinch of white man
Wrap him up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of red Indian boy
Oh like a Curly Latin kinkies
Oh Lordy, Lordy, mixed with yellow Chinkees, yeah
You know you lump it all together
And you got a recipe for a get along scene
Oh what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true, you know, you know

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough enough enough to take
The world and all its got
And keep it stirring for
A hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score

Rabbis and the friars
Vishnus and the gurus
We got the Beatles or the Sun God
Well it really doesn't matter
What religion you choose
And be thankful little Mrs. Graceful
You know that livin' could be tasteful
We should all get together in a lovin machine
I think I'll call up the queen
It' s only fair that she knows, you know, you know

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough enough enough to take
The world and all its got
And keep it stirring for
A hundred years or more

The War Song
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
War!

People fill the world with narrow confidence
Like a child at birth, a man with no defence
What's mine's 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 streets
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
War!

Man is far behind in the search of something new
Like a Philistine, we're burning witches too
This world of hate 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 streets
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
War! War! War!

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

War!

In this heart of mine, I'll find a place for you
For black or white, for grown-up children too

Now we're fighting in our hearts
Fighting in the streets
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

No more war
say no more war
say war
Senso hant-ai**
Senso hant-ai**
Say no more war

** "Senso hant-ai" is a Japanese anti-war slogan that roughly translates as "We're against war"

Dangerous Man
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

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
If we can do it good we can do it right

John he washed it over with a confidence tan
I know peace and love ain't prevention
Brian in the closet with his masterplan
Build them up its so sad they forget you

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
If we can do it good we can do it right

Are we not men, did you save us?
Are we not men, did you try, did you try?
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 man
I don't know, I don't care, I forget you

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
If we can do it good we can do it right

Unfortunate Thing
Breaking out of school ain't really fooling no one
I was sure I'd get my reward in time
Backing up 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

Unfortunate thing, such an unfortunate thing
Unfortunate thing, such an unfortunate thing
But I fought with nothing
But I fought with nothing, nothing, 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 dimension
He's got an ego that's bigger than yours and mine

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

Don't call me Bwana
Let it settle in your heart
We move from children
Into 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 the smell of sweet sensation
Didn't want to be another dime

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

Unfortunate thing

The Medal Song
7" Single Version
Sun go east, sun go west
Sun go east, sun go west

You used to say love and be loved all the time
'Til you discovered feelings were a failure sign
When it rains, it rains so hard
The tears begin to show
Now it's raining in my heart
I want the world to know

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
Life will never be the same as it was again

Beneath the sea of Hollywood where Frances 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

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
Life will never be the same as it was again

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

Now I say love for love, not 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

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
Life will never be the same as it was again

We're 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, sun go west
We can dance and bring on the rain

The Dive
When I wake up feeling victimised
There is nothing that can stop my eyes from crying, crying
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 of the deep blue sea
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
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 of the deep blue sea
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
Love you give the child
Do you do
Why do you do that to me?

When I wake up feeling victimised
There is nothing that can stop my eyes from crying, crying
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

Eyes of the deep blue sea
To dive in, dive in
Love that you give to me
I'm surviving, surviving
When love is gone
You can't carry on

Mannequin
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

Ooh Mannequin, lover mannequin, my lover mannequin, whoa
Ooh Mannequin, lover mannequin, my lover mannequin, whoa

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

I asked you, listen to what I'm telling you

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

Ooh Mannequin, lover mannequin, my lover mannequin, whoa
Ooh Mannequin, lover mannequin, my lover mannequin, whoa
Ooh Mannequin, lover mannequin, my lover mannequin, whoa

Mistake No. 3
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

Make 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
Its so sad but it prepares them
For the mould

Make Mistake Number Three

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

Into strange and pretty faces
I don't know
Clutching to my lipstick traces
Watch them go

Make Mistake Number three

Crime Time
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

Love stops knocking
Your heart stops rocking
It's crime time
Crime time

Out on the mainland
Hit him with a right hand
Stepped on his ego
Now he feels 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

Love stops knocking
Your heart stops rocking
It's crime time
Crime time

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

Love stops knocking
Your heart stops rocking
It's crime time
Crime time

Don't Talk About It
I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you smiling
My heart was terrorised
Lust among the millions
Another suicide

And 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

An 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

And 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
Don't give it up, don't try
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna talk about it

And 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

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

Love Is Love
You don't have to touch it to know
Love is everywhere you go
You don't have to touch it to feel
Love is every second we steal

Love is love is nothing without you
Love is love is everything you do
Open up your eyes
And you will see
Love is love is everything to me

You don't have to touch it to be
Wrapped up in emotion like me
Everyone must feel how I do, yeah
Love is just to be close to you

Love is love is nothing without you
Love is love is everything you do
Open up your eyes
And you will see
Love is love is everything to me

And you know that love is love
It's written in black and blue
And everything you say
Must bring her closer, closer to you
Ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba

You don't have to touch it to know
Love is everywhere you go
You don't have to touch it to feel
Love is every second we steal

Love is love is nothing without you
Love is love is everything you do
Open up your eyes
And you will see
Love is love is everything to me

Love is love is nothing without you
Love is love is everything you do

The Dream
Like Alice in Wonderland
The dream takes you by the hand
Inside emotions that you might not feel
If by some notion the dream was not real

The dream, the dream, the dream

Watching the colours as they run
Figures you mould like the sun
Lovers can dream, devils can dream
You may be nowhere until you have seen

The dream, the dream, the dream whoa

Oh what have I done?
Close my eyes and I dream of some world
It could be magic, it could be tragic

Hee, dream

The dream, the dream, the dream whoa

Hello Goodbye
Hello hello goodbye
Hello hello goodbye
Hello hello goodbye
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 situation's fallen from my hands

Hello hello goodbye
Hello hello goodbye
Hello hello goodbye
Goodbye

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

Hello hello goodbye
Hello hello goodbye
Hello hello goodbye
Goodbye

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

Hello hello goodbye
Hello hello goodbye
Hello hello goodbye
Goodbye

Don't Go Down That Street
Don't go down that street
In those shoes that squeak
'Cause I get afraid that you might not come home
Careful how you speak
When you're on the street
'Cause they've broken down all the telephones

Don't go down that street, no no no
Don't go down that street, no no no
Don't go down that street

Don't go down that street
Where the brave boys meet
'Cause I'm chicken feed when they're on their own
Don't get in that car
Things might go too far
(line in Japanese)

Don't go down that street, no no no
Don't go down that street, no no no
Don't go down that street

(Japanese talkover by Miko)

(ooh, ooh, aaah, aah)

(Japanese verse)

I Pray
When you hear them talking
Saying things that you don't understand
Just keep on walking
And tell 'em you don't give a damn!

Don't call me brother, I ain't your brother

We need more than crime prevention
We need more than ecstasy
We'll be needing police protection
Better keep your hands off me

And I pray, I pray
I've been on my knees all day
And I pray, I pray
I hear every word you say

Take a look at that cat

It's a game they play with people
Kiss and count the enemy
I don't cry when I feel the tension
I have state security

This ain't a revolution
That's just people talking
Ain't a revolution

Say, say it again

If I never get caught
I'll be here all night
Doing things I know ain't right
Fifty seven dreams ago

That's the problem if you're slow

I ain't your brother

And it's too late after all these years
You got a reason, gimme that reason
It's boys be strong and girls be weak
But children, careful how you speak

Many lives they come, many lives they go
Without a reason in your heart how could you know?
In my heart I know, I know I cannot let go
Gotta reason in my heart and don't you know?

Move Away
Spirit changed the conversation
Stepping stones across the land
I never wanted to be a hero
I never wanted to be a man

I hurt you darling, I made you cry
I hurt you darling, don't ask me why

Move move move away from me darling
I never said I'd hold your hand
Move move move away from me darling
I never said I'd understand
If I could say this was judgement day
You know I'd be a millionaire

I'm prepared to wear my sorrow
Everywhere we go in town
Ain't no need to beg or borrow
While you're there to drag me down

I hurt you darling, I made you cry
I hurt you darling, don't ask me why

Move move move away from me darling
I never said I'd hold your hand
Move move move away from me darling
I never said I'd understand
If I could say this was judgement day
You know I'd be a millionaire

(Justice right)
I need you so
I can't let go

I hurt you darling, I made you cry
I hurt you darling, don't ask me why

Move move move away from me darling
I never said I'd hold your hand
Move move move away from me darling
I never said I'd understand
If I could say this was judgement day
You know I'd be a millionaire

I never said that I'd hold your hand
Why don't you move?
I never said I'd understand
Why don't you move?

Work On Me Baby
Oh yeah baby
I wanna tell you something girl

God intended and you planned it
It was meant to be
Like a lover, or a brother
I'll shield you from the enemy

Don't say forever
Don't say forever
Hold me
Let's stay together
Let's stay together
Look in my eyes
Can't you see what I need?

Work on me baby
Work on me baby
I do it better when I'm under pressure
Work on me baby
Work on me baby
Some boys are devils
Some fools say
Maybe we'll work it out

I think we'll work it out

God intended, he depended
On our honesty
Like a lover, like no other
I'll shield you from the enemy

You've been trying baby
Just painting a picture for me
Ain't no use crying darling
When we love so easily

Everyday, in every way, we'll work

Sexuality
Play

Playing with my sexuality
Play with your body, with your mind

All you pretty people staring at the wall
Gonna make it easy, easy for all

When I say I don't dance, I'm mean
Not like you
When I say I don't dance, I need
Something new

All you pretty babies staring at the boy
Gonna tell you something, you won't get no joy

When I say I don't dance, I'm mean
Not like you
When I say I don't dance, I need
Something new

Wednesday night I sleep unfolded
Thursday night another dream
Friday night my heart is pumping
Saturday I'm feeling mean

Say it, with your body
Say it, with your body, with your mind
Say it, with your sexuality
With your body, with your mind

God Thank You Woman
Woman, thank you thank you
God thank you woman

What we have is something special
Something quite unique
What we have should last forever
Heaven at my feet

I would give the world to you
Or anything you need
There is nothing I won't do
Just promise that you'll never leave

God thank you woman
Thank you thank you
For the joy that you give to me

There is nothing I won't do
Just promise that you'll never leave

God thank you woman
Thank you thank you
For the joy that you give to me

I have loved

I would give the world to you
Or anything you need
Oh God thank you woman
Thank you thank you
For the joy that you give to me

God Thank You Woman was released in May 1986, and was considered a flop when it only reached UK #31. Its video clip involved super-imposed images of many famous actresses interacting with the band, including Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren.

From Luxury To Heartache
Luxury and heartache
Oh yeah
Oh luxury and heartache
Oh yeah

I won't be coming home tomorrow
Nobody there to catch my tears
I won't be leaving tears of sorrow anymore
I played that game for so many years

If i cry, will you catch my fall
Do you want me to be the same
If i cry, will you catch my fall
Am I playing the loser's game?

From luxury to heartache
Such a long way to find that you were mourning
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way you gave me little warning

She will be there to give you children, yes she will
She will be there to make you sing, sing, sing
I won't be standing in the shadows anymore
I learned to cover up my pain

If i cry will you catch my fall
Do you want me to be the same
If i cry will you catch my fall
Am I playing the loser's game?

From luxury to heartache
Such a long way to find that you were mourning
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way you gave me little warning

Gave me love
You gave your love to me
You gave me love
But it's not enough for me

Oh luxury
But all you give me is pain
Again and again
Luxury is sweet and so cool

If i cry will you catch my fall
Do you want me to be the same
If i cry will you catch my fall
Am I playing the loser's game?

From luxury to heartache
Such a long way to find that you were mourning
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way you gave me little warning

From luxury to heartache
Such a long way to find that you were mourning
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way you gave me, gave me no warning

Too Bad
This is America
The land of dreams
You're lifting me up again
I feel dangerous scared

My children don't like thunder
My children don't like rain
My children don't like fighting
My children play the game
My children don't like violence
My children don't like change
My children don't like silence
My children don't like pain

Hearts are lost and found
(Take me to America)
Hearts are lost and found
I'll bet you won't stay

Too bad
They've given you a heart, too bad
They've given you a start, too bad
They've given you a heart, too bad
I cannot function, too bad

My children don't like movies
My children don't have dreams
My children don't think money
My children never scheme

The land of dreams
I've given you everything
That you could ask for

My children don't like thunder
Don't like rain
Change change change
My children don't like thunder
Rain rain rain

Gusto Blusto
Well you tried so hard to change the story
It was love but it was nothing new
Just a question of a moment's glory
For someone to take it all from you

You told me I was such a fool
First you were kind, then you were cruel
You taught me how to break the rules
And I said thank you baby

Gusto Blusto
If your loving is so good
Gusto blusto
I'd do it if I could
Gusto blusto
I'd love you if you would
Gusto blusto
Do it! Do it! Yeah!

Well you think you really have the answer
But I never made a move on you
I don't even get a chance to get what's coming
Baby that ain't all I do

Gusto Blusto
If your loving is so good
Gusto blusto
I wish you understood
Gusto blusto
I'd love you if you would
Gusto blusto
Do it! Do it! Yeah!

I give you good good loving
Sweet memories of you
You gave and taught me nothing new
Thank you baby

Gusto blusto
If your loving is so good
Gusto blusto
I wish you understood
Gusto blusto
I never break the rules
Gusto blusto
Don't you be so cruel
Wanna dance? Don't sit there
Do it now

Heaven's Children
United (I get so tired of speaking)

What if you're a lonely boy?
What if you're broken man?
What if you're just tired of speaking?

I live with my heartache, you bet that I do
I'm sad and I'm shaken, I'm empty and so blue
Magical function, I gave it all to you
They say they'll never let you down
United we stand so tall
They say they'll never let you down
United we fall

What if you're a lonley boy?
What if you're a broken man?
What if you're just tired of speaking?
What if you're alone at night?
What if we're all heaven's children?

I grew up in darkness, my enemies few
I gave you my life, it was easy for you
No explanation, this boy has grown up too
They say they'll never let you down
United we stand so tall
They say they'll never let you down
United we fall

I believe the world should always be our standing ground
And I believe the world should hold us close
And spin this great big world around
Don't be scared at night alone
And spin this great big world around

What if you're a lonely boy?
What if you're a broken man?
What if you're just tired of speaking?
What if they break hearts for you?

Heaven's children

I was young, but still I knew
People were just frightened too
I would talk, they would not hear me

What if you're a lonely boy?
What if you're a broken man?
What if you're just tired of speaking?

I have been a lonely boy
I have been a broken man
I am here and still crying

Come Clean
I was cold 'till you touched me
Fear had no place to hide
I felt nothing but sadness
Love is the great divide

Felt like someone was counting
The tears that rushed from my eyes
I was broken and doubting
Love and my own sweet pride

Come clean, come clean
You know where you've been
Slipping and stepping inside
Come clean, come clean
I know that you dream
Love is the great divide

Felt a rush from the mountain
Oh lord, I pushed you aside
I felt nothing but sadness
I'll be alone tonight

Come clean, come clean
You know where you've been
Slipping and stepping inside
Come clean, come clean
I know that you dream
Love is the great divide

How can we lose? There's no laws to abuse
There was never more passion in crime
You took my hand, told me you'd understand
There'd be time, so much time

I was cold 'till you touched me
Fear had no place to hide
I felt nothing but sadness
Love is the great divide

Come clean, come clean
Slipping and stepping inside
Come clean, come clean
I know that you dream
Love is the great divide

Come clean, come clean
I know where you've been
Slipping and stepping inside
Come clean, come clean
I know that you dream
Love is the great divide
Love is the great divide

I Just Wanna Be Loved
VH1 Storyteller's version
Take a picture of tonight and
Keep it by your heart
Love has left us memories
There's no better way to part

I will find another love
Someone new to drag me down
How you tried to level me
But you never stood your ground

Fortunately I got wise this time
Fortunately I had me on my mind

Oh I just want to be loved
Don't want to fight you baby
But I'm much too proud to say it loud

I just want to be loved
Don't want to beg you baby
But I'm much too proud to say it loud

Take a piece of dignity and
Use it in your life
Even though you hurt me
I still want you to survive

Love was never special
We were never down
You will always have someone
To bring you on the ground

Fortunately I got wise this time
Fortunately I had me on my mind

Oh I just want to be loved
Don't want to fight you baby
But I'm much too proud to say it loud

I just want to be loved
Don't want to beg you baby
But I'm much too proud to say it loud

When you love someone
Don't you know, love is blind
When you love someone
It'll be for all time, yeah that's right

Fortunately I got wise this time
Fortunately I had me on my mind

Oh I just want to be loved
Don't want to fight you baby
But I'm much too proud to say it loud

I just want to be loved
Don't want to beg you baby
Love me, love me, love me, love me yeah

Strange Voodoo
VH1 Storyteller's version
How can I love you boy when you don't even love yourself?
I'm useless now as I have always been
Just like some worthless love song dying on the radio
We talk in circles 'til we don't know what we mean

No happy ever after, no big dark man
Ain't no perfect situation, can't you understand

Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you is some strange voodoo

How can I help you boy when I can barely help myself?
I'm useless now as I have always been
Your lying eyes, your thieving hands, you're such a rogue at times
But you will always be a part of me

No happy ever after, no big dark man
Ain't no perfect situation, ain't no master plan

Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you I keep loving you yes I do
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you is some strange voodoo

No happy ever after, no big dark man, no
Ain't no perfect situation, can't you understand

Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you I keep loving you yes I do
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you is some strange voodoo

Loving you
Loving you
Loving you

What Do You Want
VH1 Storyteller's version
Right there it is!
Pretty faces perfect hair make 'I see you' when
You float into my vision once again, yeah
Promises are in your eyes, never to return
Inside your love I'm bound to burn
Now you don't understand the rivers and the seas are turning
Now it's out of my hands and I won't be a fool for learning
What do you want from me
I give you everything you need
Twisted security
I give you everything you need
What do you want
Pretty faces break your heart words that turn to dust
I need to love and you I trust
Waiting for the wheel to turn shall I waste my life
A key to hold to paradise
Now you don't understand the rivers and the seas are turning
Now it's out of my hands and I won't be a fool for learning
What do you want from me
I give you everything you need
Twisted security
I give you everything you need
What do you want from me
I give you everything you need
Twisted security
I give you everything you need
Love a we, a love a we, love a we, I love ya
Love a we, a love a we, love a we, I need ya
Now you don't understand the rivers and the seas are turning
Now it's out of my hands but I won't be a fool for learning
What do you want from me
I give you everything you need
Twisted security
I give you everything you need
What do you want from me
I give you everything you need
Twisted security
I give you everything you need

Your Kisses Are Charity
Last night you breathed the deepest sigh
Turned away with those cold cool eyes
You said won't you give me space to breathe
And my tears gave you confidence to leave

Now you say I'm just to much for you
There are things you'll never know
If you lie and cheat so easily
You'd better go, go go go, yeah

All I know is how I feel
And my heart was always yours to steal
But you take and never give to me
Your kisses are charity
Your kisses are charity, yeah

Yesterday you were my brightest star
But even when you're near I don't know where you are
I was wrong to show my weaker side
Now it's much too late to cry cry cry

I was blind to put my trust in you
If you leave me I'll fall apart
Did you plan to make a fool out of me
From the start, yeah yeah yeah, yeah

All I know is how I feel
And my heart was always yours to steal
But you take and never give to me
Your kisses are charity
Your kisses are charity, yeah, yeah

Now you say I'm too much for you
There are things you'll never know
If you lie and cheat so easily
You'd better go, go go go, yeah

All I know is how I feel
And my heart was always yours to steal
But you take and never give to me
Your kisses are charity
Your kisses are charity, yeah, yeah

Weep for the Child
Hey you, do you ever cry - for the child?

Falling in love with strangers, feeling incomplete, hey that's me
Some are fly, some are shy, some are acting like they own the street, ooh
One minute we're together then the next you're acting really cool, so cool
You can play me any way but don't ever treat me like a fool, no no no

Sometimes so hateful
Sometimes so shy
Don't ask me why

Weep for the child
Better raise your hand
We're twisting the style
Ain't no need to understand
Don't leave me alone to make it tonight
No don't go

Wearing your desperation wrapped me on your sleeve, yes you do
You've got everything you want but you just can't get the things that you need, oh no no no

Sometimes you fake it
Sometimes you lie
Don't ask me why

Weep for the child
Better raise your hand, raise your hand
We're twisting the style
Ain't no need to understand
Don't leave me alone to make it tonight, no no no

Sweet baby

You never understood
You never treat me right

Weep for the child
Better raise your hand, raise your hand
We're twisting the style
Ain't no need to understand, do you understand?
Don't leave me alone to make it tonight, yeah

Weep for the child
Weep
Weep
Weep
in your heart

Weep for the child
Better raise your hand, raise your hand
We're twisting the style
Ain't no need to understand, no need
Don't leave me alone to make it
Alone to make it
Alone to make it tonight

Cold Shoulder
Watching the stars on Primrose Hill
The moon is high and the city is still
I came here to escape the chill
Of your cold shoulder

Evil sometimes the things you say
If you really wish I would just go away
Then why do you cry
Like a little child

All your world that's what you say I am
I'm working so hard to be a better man

You know I'll never ever lie, never play those games with my mind
You'll be the loser, you might find
Questions lead to answers in time
While you're so cold, so cold inside

Remember that fight in Amsterdam
When I made you cry 'cause I know I can?
You could not escape the chill
Of my cold, cold shoulder

All your world that's what you say I am
I'm working so hard to be a better man

You know I'll never ever lie, never play those games with my mind
You'll be the loser, you might find
Questions lead to answers in time
While you're so cold

I know you're hurting inside
Want someone to pay for the tears you cry
Ain't gonna be me, not this time

Never lie, never play those games with my mind
You'll be the loser, you might find
Questions lead to answers in time
While you're so cold, so cold inside

Never play those games with my mind
You'll be the loser, you might find
Questions lead to answers in time
While you're so cold, so cold inside

I know you're hurting
I'm hurting too
But I don't wanna hurt you
'Cause I love you
But my head says 'not this time'

Starman
Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no DJ, that was hazy cosmic jive

There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile

He told me -
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too!
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on Channel Two
Look out your window I can see the light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in fright

There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile

He told me -
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

Starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile

He told me -
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la-la (repeat until end)

Less Than Perfect
I know a song ain't good enough to let you know how I feel
I'll sing it hard, I'll sing it sweet, to let you know that it's real
If I change my attitude, maybe I can conquer you completely
All the things I say and do, everything I learn from you defeats me

And I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down

I know it's wrong to blame the past for everything that I do
I fool the world most of the time but there's no fooling you
If I change my attitude, maybe I can conquer you completely
Everything I say and do, all I learn from you defeat me

And I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
Let you down

What you see ain't always what you get
No matter how clear it seems
One minute lovers, then the next...

Oh oh no
Oh no

I let you down, yeah yeah
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
Let you down
Let you down

Black Comedy
Sweet cunning eyes try to take from me
You're too young, I'm too wise, this is parody
A taste of what you like can be fatal sometimes
Arms that hold you tight but leave you cold, so cold

The stars in the sky are out of reach tonight
Tears fall like rain, wrong again, words won't make me right
'Cause I knew from the start you were wrong for me
Call it fate if you like or black comedy

Love, maybe lust, made me sweet sixteen
So my soul lost control, nothing in between
A taste of what you want can be brutal sometimes
Arms that hold you tight but leave you cold, so cold

The stars in the sky are out of reach tonight
Tears fall like rain, wrong again, words won't make me right
'Cause I knew from the start you were wrong for me
Call it fate if you like or black comedy

The stars in the sky are out of reach tonight
Tears fall like rain, wrong again, words won't make me right
'Cause I knew from the start you were wrong for me
Call it fate if you like or black comedy

The stars in the sky are out of reach tonight
Tears fall like rain, wrong again, words won't make me right
'Cause I knew from the start you were wrong for me
Call it fate if you like or black comedy
The stars in the sky are out of reach tonight
Tears fall like rain, wrong again, words won't make me right
'Cause I knew from the start you were wrong for me
Call it fate if you like or black comedy

Maybe I'm A Fool
(Rap intro by Derick Johnson)

Dangerous lover
With the blue-green eyes
Slides into the room
He's got trouble on his mind

Maybe you're misunderstood
So come and lie here by my side
'Cause your love it hurts so good
Every time, every time

Maybe I'm a fool for loving you
Maybe I'm a fool
Maybe I'm a fool for wanting you
Maybe I'm a fool

But love's so hard to find
I keep searching every time

Foolish words spoken
Forgotten in the night
When the sun meets the ocean
I wanna be here by your side

Let me give you all those things
That money just can't buy
'Cause your love it hurts so good
Don't ask me why, don't ask me why

Maybe I'm a fool for loving you
Maybe I'm a fool
Maybe I'm a fool for wanting you
Maybe I'm a fool

Maybe I'm a fool, but I love you baby, baby...

(Rap by Derick Johnson)
(I keep searching everytime)

Maybe I'm a fool
Maybe I'm a fool

Baby you're misunderstood
So come and lie here by my side
Cause your love it hurts so good
Don't ask me why, just don't ask me why

Maybe I'm a fool for loving you
Maybe I'm a fool, I'm a fool, I'm a fool, yeah
Maybe I'm a fool for wanting you
Maybe I'm a fool, I'm a fool for your loving

Right now

Love's so hard to find
I keep searching every time
All the time, all the time
Cause I can't live without you
Can't live without you

Maybe Maybe baby I'm a fool for your loving (repeat until end)

Confidence Trick
Never meant to hurt you, I don't know why
You come with your lawyers and your alibi
How can you look me straight in the eye
When you know

The clock on the wall is singing our song
The love in my heart is all dead and gone
You know why
You know why

There you go with your confidence trick
I'm much too wise, you don't fool me a bit
Feeling so low and looking so high
We both know that your truth is a lie

I never really knew you all these years
You lied to my face while I undressed your fears
Then you set me a-sail on an ocean of tears
Said goodbye

The clock on the wall is ticking real slow
There's nothing to say and there's nowhere to go
You know why
You know why

There, there you go with your confidence trick
I'm much too wise, you don't fool me a bit, no no
Feeling so low and looking so high
We both know that your truth is a lie

It's a lie

Looking up to the truth of what you are
Blinding all colours and beauty
And the sparkle in your eye is blinding

The clock on the wall is singing our song
The love in my heart is all dead and gone
You know why
You know why
Why, why, why, why, why, why

There, there you go with your confidence trick
I'm much too wise, you don't fool me a bit
Feeling so low and looking so high
We both know that your truth is a lie
It's a lie, lie

(The truth is, the truth is a lie)
(repeats in background)

And you never stopped loving me
Choaking back tears for you
So lovable
And we never go
And we never know
See I'm over
But I'm under
I don't ever wanna come down
I don't ever wanna come down
I don't ever wanna come down
To where you are

Sign Language
I'm not hungry - I eat
When I'm tired - I can't sleep
When I'm nervous - I speak
It seems the only thing to do
In the morning - I rise
Wipe the dream from my eyes
Contemplate your demise
There's just no getting through
Always dream, don't apologize
Life is sweet, never close your eyes
The truth it seems, must have passed you by
At least a million times
Gimme a sign, gimme a reason to be here
I'm leading the blind, when will you make your motives clear
Gimme a sign (gimme gimme, gimme a sign)
After all this time why can't we get it right
So you made me - a 'creep' (ow)
I'm not losing any sleep (ow)
Cause my scars are much too deep (ow)
Don't start getting precious on me (yeah)
In the morning - I rise
While your life is - paralyzed
In the sweet smell of disguise
There's just no getting through to you
Always dream, don't apologize
Life is sweet, never close your eyes
The truth it seems must have passed you by
At least a million times
Gimme a sign, gimme a reason to be here
I'm out of my mind, so shallow and always insincere
Gimme a sign (gimme gimme, gimme a sign)
After all this time why can't we get it right
Hey!
(Gimme gimme gimme a sign)
Gimme gimme gimme Yeah!
(Gimme gimme gimme a sign)
Gimme gimme gimme Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Gimme gimme gimme a sign)
After all this time why can't we get it right
Another drive by love affair
Why don't you tell someone who cares
If you care
Gimme a sign, gimme a reason to be here
I'm out of my mind, when will you make your motives clear
Gimme a sign (gimme gimme gimme a sign)
After all this time why can't we get it right
(Gimme a sign)
(Gimme gimme gimme a sign)
Gimme gimme yeah yeah
(I'm out of my mind, Gimme gimme gimme a sign)
Gimme gimme gimme yeah
(Gimme a sign)
(Gimme gimme gimme a sign)
After all this love why can't we get it right
Let's get it right

Mirror
(Trying to get the message through)
You took the sun from the sky, give it back
You know I wouldn't take a bullet for you
You bring me down 'cause of all that you lack
You're underhanded and you're sly with it too
In a moment of desperation
We forgive and we compromise
Reaching out for that one sensation - life
No time for wasting my time
I'm just trying to get the message through
You hold up a mirror to me
You know that all you'll ever see is you
All you'll ever see is you
You know you won't change the world from your back
But still you lie there like a vacant fool
What happens when all your credit runs out
And I have to be kind to be cruel
In a moment of desperation
We forgive and we close our eyes
Reaching out for that perfect love to survive hey, yeah, yeah
No time for wasting my time
I'm just trying to get the message through (trying to get the message through)
You hold up a mirror to me
You know that all you'll ever see is you
All you'll ever see is you
You just don't get it
Do ya?
(I'm trying, trying to get the message)
(I'm trying, trying to get the message)
(I'm trying, trying to get the message) Baby, baby, baby
(I'm trying, trying to get the message)
In a moment of desperation
We forgive and we close our eyes
Reaching out for that one sensation to survive, hey yeah
No time for wasting my time
I'm just trying to get the message through (trying to get the message through)
You hold up a mirror to me
You know that all you'll ever see is you (ooh-ooh)
All you'll ever see is you
(I'm trying, trying to get the message)
(I'm trying, trying to get the message)
(I'm trying, trying to get the message)
(I'm trying, trying to get the message)
(I'm trying, trying to get the message)
(I'm trying, trying to get the message)
(I'm trying, trying to get the message)
(Trying to get the message through)
Yeah!

See Thru
No apology necessary shut your mouth
You've closed your mind
We've been walking this road forever
It don't lead to paradise
In the mirror your sad reflection haunting you
Now I see mine
Yes I see mine
And you just don't get it
But you just might regret it, you might regret it
Shooting the rainbows from the sky
Throwing your love to passers by
Begging forgiveness for your crime
Never prepared to do your time
It's always them and never you
'Cause you're so see thru, I see thru you
('Cause you're so see thru)
Ain't no use in demanding justice
You're a victim of your sight
I held you up when your heart was heavy
Now you never give me mine
In the mirror my sad reflection haunting me
One more time, one more time
And you just don't get it, do ya?
But you just might regret it, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Shooting the rainbows from the sky
Throwing your love to passers by
Begging forgiveness for your crime
Never prepared to do your time
It's always them and never you
'Cause you're so see thru, I see thru you
('Cause you're so see thru)
Shooting the rainbows from the sky
Throwing your love to passers by
Begging forgiveness for your crime
Never prepared to do your time
It's always them and never you
Boy you're so see thru, I see thru you
('Cause you're so see thru)
You just don't get it, no you just don't get it
You just don't get it but you might regret it
You might regret it
Shooting the rainbows from the sky
Throwing your love to passers by
Begging forgiveness for your crime
Never prepared to do your time
It's always them and never you
'Cause you're so see thru, I see thru you
('Cause you're so see thru)
Shooting the rainbows from the sky - you're so see thru
Throwing your love to passers by
Begging forgiveness for your crime - throwing your love to passers by, you're so see thru
Never prepared to do your time
It's always them and never you - never prepared to do your time, you're so see thru
'Cause you're so see thru, You're so see thru, yeah yeah
Shooting the rainbows from the sky
Throwing your love to passers by
Begging forgiveness for your crime
Never prepared to do your time

Truth Behind Her Smile
Just see how she makes them love her
Twisting the world around her finger
Sensing weakness in a stranger
With one kiss she'll re-arrange ya
But I know the truth behind her smile
Keep me warm tonight, never satisfy
If you meet again she may pass you by
No apologies, never compromise
It's the truth behind her smile
Just see how she makes them want her
Oh, if I could be her for one day
Sensing weakness in a stranger
See them run, no sense of danger
But I know the truth behind her smile
Keep me warm tonight, never satisfy
If you meet again she may pass you by
No apologies, never compromise
It's the truth behind her smile
She'll let you down
Keep me warm tonight, never satisfy
If you meet again she may pass you by
No apologies, never compromise
It's the truth behind her...
Truth behind her smile

Fat Cat
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, 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

Il Adore
Mother clutches the head of her dying son
Anger and tears, so many things to feel
Sensitive boy, good with his hands
Noone mentions the unmentionable, but everybody understands
Here in this cold white room
Tied up to these machines
It's hard to imagine him as he used to be

Laughing screaming tumbling queen
Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen
Whirling swirling never blue
How could you go and die, what a lonely thing to do

Silence equals death, this is what they say
But the anger and the tears do not take the pain away
How far must it go, how near must it be
Before it touches you, before it touches me
Here in this cold white room
Tied up to these machines
It's hard to imagine life as it used to be

Laughing screaming tumbling queen
Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen
Whirling swirling never blue
How could you go and die, what a lonely thing to do

Did you ever ask those strangers what they're looking for?
Did they laugh and tell you they're not really sure?
You were hurt by love but still you came right back for more
Il adore, il adore, il adore

Thanks Mum

These Boots Are Made For Walkin'
You keep saying you've got something for me
Something you call love, but confess
You've been messing where you shouldn't be messing
And someone else is getting all your best

These boots are made for walkin'
That's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots
Are gonna walk all over you

You keep lying when you oughta to be truthin'
You keep losing when you oughta not bet
You keep saming when you ought to be changin'
What's right is right, but you ain't been right yet

These boots are made for walkin'
That's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots
Are gonna kick you

You keep playing where you shouldn't be playing
You keep thinking that you'll never get burnt
I just found me a brand new box of matches
Your body knows you ain't got time to hurt

These boots are made for walkin'
That's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots
Are gonna walk all over you

Are you ready boots?
Start walkin'

If I Could Fly
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

The Crying Game
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, why there are tears
And what to do to stop feeling blue
When love disappears

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

Don't want no more of the crying game
Don't want no more of the crying game
Don't want no more of the crying game
Don't want no more of the crying game

The Crying Game was released from the movie soundtrack of the same in 1992 and became a Top 40 hit in the US, UK, Australia and other countries. It is probably George's biggest hit as a solo artist.

More Than Likely
P.M Dawn featuring Boy George
(PM Dawn)
What's the use in trying
If all my senses say no place exists for you
What's the use in holding out my arms
I couldn't find reasons if I tried to

(Boy George)
What's the use in floating
If all it does is tell you someone's under you
What's the use in being if I learn
To be neglectful towards the things that mean the most to most of you
But I can hear me say

(Both) More than likely, I'm the one you're living for
(PM) If I find out I am
Then I'll finally understand when I say
(Both) More than likely, I'm the one you're living for
(BG) More than likely
(PM) Living for
(BG) More than likely
(PM) Living for

(BG)
What's the use in praying (tell me)
For all the things that mean so much to none of you
What's the use in pouring out my heart
Into situations I could cry through

(PM)
Oh what's the use in closing
All the doors that let the loving into you
What's the use of loving if I learn
Not to feel anything at all even if it means the most to you
But I can hear me say

(Both)
More than likely, I'm the one you're living for
(BG)
If I find out I am
Then I'll finally understand when I say
(Both) More than likely, I'm the one you're living for
(PM) You're living for
(BG) I'm the one you're living for

(PM)
Even if you find
That I'm transcending most of my mind
(BG)
Through the often closing doors
Of what's to come and what's in store.

(PM)
Even if because
You find I'm sendi ng most of my love
(BG) To the often closed minds
That must inquire, what you're living for.

(PM)
What's the use in changing... (let go)
To all the hopes that leave you somewhere next to lies
(BG)
What's the use in buying all my time
To try and figure out the frame that likes to communicate through signs
I can hear me say.

More than likely, I'm the one you're living for
If I find out I am
Then I'll finally understand when I say
More than likely, I'm the one you're living for

I'm the one you're living for

I Specialise In Lonliness
When I first met you, you had scars much deeper than my own
I know I was weak, but I feel I have grown
In the back of my mind, I know the difference between wrong and right
So if you should decide to leave me, I won't put up a fight

I specialise in lonliness
In lonliness I specialise
I specialise in lonliness
In lonliness I specialise

I specialise

If you were a diamond, I wouldn't want you now
If you were a pearl, I'd throw you back somehow
I never could love that superficial way
And I'm much too proud to ask you if you'll stay
So go away

I specialise in lonliness
In lonliness I specialise
I specialise in lonliness
In lonliness I specialise

I specialise in lonliness

I know these are dangerous times for love
Shouldn't we stick together?

I need to be strong
When I first met you, you had scars much deeper than my own
I know I was weak, but I feel I have grown
In the back of my mind, I know what's wrong and right
I know what's right
And if you should decide to leave me, I won't put up a fight

I specialise in lonliness
In lonliness I specialise
I specialise in lonliness
In lonliness I specialise

Sold
Last night my mother said to me
I'm sick of making history
There's got to be a better way
But we've got all these bills to pay
And they ain't just gonna go away
Like a factory - about to be shut down
Another factory - about to be shut down

Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold

You're gonna like this one, you're gonna like this one
I do
See if Mr. Botha was a man
He'd tip the hat, he'd pass the can
But he don't talk for you and me
I saw him on the BBC
His eyes looked like a factory
About to be shut down
His eyes looked like a factory
With the lights out - about to be shut down

Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold

Last night my mother said to me
I'm sick of making history
There's got to be a better way
For you to be
Last night my mother said to me
When you grow up what will you be
If not the white minority
At least protect me
I'm not a factory about to be shut down

Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold

Sold - There's got to be a better way than this

Are You Too Afraid
Hey yeah
Hey yeah yeah
Oh baby
Hey yeah yeah

Watching you walk away
Right out of my life
Hearing the things that you say
Love overdrive

So what are those precious feelings
You have for me, me, me
Am I an all-time loser
Why can't you see

Only your love can make me feel the way I do yeah
Only your love can make me keep on loving you
Gonna keep on loving you

Baby - Are you too afraid you found it?
Baby - Are you too afraid you found it?
Baby - Are you too afraid you found it?
Baby - Are you too afraid you found my love?

If you should say my affection
Is a waste of your time
If you should walk away
Boy, I'll say that's fine

Only your love can make me feel the way I do yeah
Only your love can make me keep on loving you, yeah
Gonna keep on loving you

Baby - Are you too afraid you found it?
Baby - Are you too afraid you found it?
Baby - Are you too afraid you found it?
Baby - Are you too afraid you found my love?

I feel afraid
I feel afraid

Only your love can make me feel the way I do yeah
Only your love can make me keep on loving you, yeah
Gonna keep on loving you

Babe - Won't you wrap your arms around me?
Babe - Could you keep the love, you found it?
Babe - Won't you wrap your arms around me?
Babe - Could you keep the love, you found it?

Stay with me all night why don't you?

Next Time
Next time I sing a ballad
And they say that I'm too pop
What the hell - if it gets me to the top
Next time I'll be handsome
Or pretty at least
I will have big muscles - I'll lay on the beach

Next time I'll paint pictures
Like a real Van Gogh
Wear little black hats - hang my cigarettes so low
Sit in French cafes
Drinking French Pernod
Next time gigolo - Next time we go

Next time, next time, next time, ooh next time, next time

Next time I'll be full blooded
'Stead of half-cherokee
I'll put on my warpaint - and they'll listen to me
Next time I'll tell my mama
With a baby on my knee (Say gay)
I'll sweep and clean and dress my dream - kick that broke down washing machine

Next time, next time, next time, ooh next time, next time

Next time I'll be kinder
And I'll be tougher too
I won't worry half as much - and neither will you
But for now I've got to go
On and strut my stuff
I'll sing my song and swing along - Tomorrow I'll be better off

Next time, next time, next time, ooh next time, next time
No, no next time
Wop, bob a loo bop bam
Next time

Anyone here seen Ray Charles?
James Brown

Don't Cry
You say that you're misunderstood
But you like it that way
Then you say you're lonely
Well that's the price you pay

And I don't think I love you
That's the cruellest game we play
But I love you that way

You're a perfect lover
Why don't you stay?
You're a perfect lover
Ain't it always that way?

You feel a little twisted
You feel a little pain
You feel a little hateful
Don't worry, you'll feel that way again

Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me
Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me

You say that you're not beautiful
But you are in my eyes
You say my love's too heavy
Well that comes as no surprise

You're a perfect lover
Why don't you stay?
You're a perfect lover
Ain't it always that way?

You feel a little twisted
And you feel a little pain
You feel a little hateful
Don't worry, you'll fall in love again

Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me
Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me

It's already over
There's nothing to say
It's already over
But you need love to show you your way

Don't cry for me
Don't you cry
Don't cry, don't cry for me

You're the perfect lover
Why don't you stay?
You're the perfect lover
Ain't it always that way?

You feel a little pain
Don't worry, you'll fall in love again

Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me
Cry, don't cry, don't cry for me

Leave In Love
Featuring Caroll Thompson
Don't try to judge me by your feelings
By telling me that I'm too plain
You know it hurts to see you aiming
But if you love me
Then It's better to leave this way

It's better to leave in love (so much better)
If you believe in love (If you believe)
Better to leave in love
It's better to leave this way

You always say that love - it hurts
You never thought the beat would end this way
But if the magic's lost between us, between us
Then there's nothing, no there's nothing to say

It's better to leave in love (so much better)
If you believe in love (If you believe)
Better to leave in love
It's better to leave this way

It's better to leave in love (so much better)
If you believe in love (If you believe)
Believe in love
It's better to leave this way

I don't understand you
When you say you're not that strong (you know that I'm not that strong)
It's not that I don't love you
But you know that the feeling's gone

I don't understand you
Oh you know that it's true
But I could never hide my love
It's not that I don't love you, love you
You know I do
You know that I do

It's better to leave in love (so much better)
If you believe in love (If you believe)
Better to leave
It's better to leave this way

To leave in love
If you believe in love (If you believe)
Better To leave, to leave in love
It's better to leave this way

A Boy Called Alice
My name is Alice, I'm not a boy

Office hours for the rest of the world
Me and Alice stay in bed
She's not what you'd call a bachelor girl
But be careful how you tread

There are boys that bring you trouble
Very few that bring you luck
When I tell her what she's getting
She looks at me and says "that ain't good enough"

A boy called Alice
I know a boy called Alice
A boy called Alice
I know a boy called Alice, a boy called Alice

Silly games that make us dizzy
Searching hard for mister right
If God's a man what colour is he
And will he smile on me tonight

If there's a dream I'm yet to find it
In all the novels that I've read
If love is cool I'm right behind it
But love ain't cool - I'll keep your picture instead

She did say some things I never did understand

A boy called Alice
I know a boy called Alice
A boy called Alice
I know a boy called Alice

A boy called Alice
I know a boy called Alice
A boy called Alice
I know a boy called Alice

Mama Never Knew
Those early days who said
Patience never pays?
It's a man's world we're living in
But that don't mean you have to start giving in

When he says, woman, there's a place for you
That don't mean that's what you have to do
There's a gift somebody gave to you
It's called talking and saying out loud

My mama never knew but I do, I do
My mama never knew
Oh she never knew
But I do, yes I do
Oh my mama she never knew
Yes I do

It was late, late in life
When my mama started to fight
She said man, boy what the hell are you
Gonna break up this room with a word or two

If it seems I ain't good enough for you
Then you know just what you have to do
Pack your bags honey, take your life with you
Go on walk out that door I won't say it no more

My mama never knew but I do, I do
My mama never knew
Oh she never knew
But I do, yes I do
Oh my mama she never knew
She never knew
Yes I do

Tied to the cross
Sometimes I feel like an anchor in your life
I'm just a woman
But more than a woman I have in my life
She said, You bring me down
You turn me around
If there's a justice
I want justice in this life

My mama never knew but I do, I do
My mama never knew but I do
Yes I do

Those early days who said
Patience never pays?
It's a man's world we're living in
But that don't mean you have to start giving in

When he says, woman, there's a place for you
That don't mean that's what you have to do
There's a gift somebody gave to you
It's called talking and saying out loud

My mama never knew but I do, I do
My mama never knew
Oh she never knew
But I do, yes I do
Oh my mama she never knew
Yes I do

Just like a woman
She knows everything

Whisper
You bet that I cannot resist it
When you move inside my life
Touching souls I feel restricted
And I know that it's not wise
I can tell so much is changing
But I'm blinded by desire
Won't some God come down from Heaven
And set me free, set me on fire

Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone, no comfort in sight
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Too afraid and much too uptight

When you say that it's forever
I believe it every time
But out of reach, that ain't together
I need someone to be mine
I'm just shouting at the devil
And my kind of love is greed
But don't show too much affection
Cause I'm willing, yeah
I'm willing to let you bleed

Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone, no comfort in sight
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Too afraid to put up a fight

Don't believe that you're invincible
To fall in love
And you know that love won't save you
Cause those kind of feelings
You know they never do
They never do

Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone, no comfort in sight
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Too afraid and much too uptight

I'm just walking alone
You know I'm just walking

I'm just shouting at the devil
And my kind of love is greed
Don't you show too much affection
Cause I'm willing, I'm willing to let you bleed

Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone, no comfort in sight
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
I'm too afraid to put up a fight

Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
I'm not lonely I'm not afraid
Walking alone in the whisper of nightime
Walking alone...

You Are My Heroin
It's great to be young

Didn't anyone tell you
That life was a lousy substitute
You're not packing angels now
In your undertaker's suit
It's funky down in the gutter
That's what all the bitches say
I'll just call it a celebration
If the devil walks my way

You are my heroin
You are my heroin

Welcome into the garden Sarah
Come see how my roses die
We were looking for Heaven
Couldn't bear to pass you by
There are stories of bad luck, yeah
But they come to bless us all
If it's true that you doubt it
Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall

You are my heroin
You are my heroin
You are my heroin

I was talking to sweet thing
She said hang your horses high
There are jokers and tokers
Here's some pills you ought to try
Some say it's a vacation
Some say I will never die
God won't stop at my station
Hear all the mothers cry

You are my heroin
You are my heroin
You are my heroin

You keep saying kick it, quit it
Lord but did you ever try.
To turn your sick soul inside out
So that the world can watch you die
Home is where I live inside
My home is filled with pain
And it might not be such a bad idea
If I never went home again

You are my heroin
You are my heroin
You are my heroin

There are stories of bad luck, yeah
But they come to bless us all
If it's true that you doubt it
Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall

You are my heroin
You are my heroin
You know that it's true

You Found Another Guy
Won't you tell me why?
You found another guy, tell me why
You found another guy

In the beginning things were just fine
I was so romantic, I thought that you were mine
I saw so happy, now I'm depressed
I'm so tired of this loneliness

You packed your bags, then you went away
I haven't seen you since that cold, cold day!
I gotta have you back no matter what it takes
So tell me why, you found another guy.

Tell me why
You found another guy
Yell me why
You didn't want me

I've been walkin around, things ain't the same
Since you been gone I'm feelin' this pain
In my heart, it's so strong so please come home
I've been waiting for you all night long

You packed your bags, then you went away
I haven't seen you since that cold, cold day!
I gotta have you back no matter what it takes
So tell me why, you found another guy.

Tell me why
You found another guy
Yell me why
You didn't want me no more

You didn't want me no more

I gotta have you back no matter what it takes
So tell me why, you found another guy.

Tell me why
You found another guy
Yell me why
You didn't want me no more

Tell me why
You found another guy
Yell me why
You didn't want me no more

Tell me why
You found another guy

Something Strange Called Love
Oh you slide so good
But just take your time
Drink the blood of fools
I've got to make you mine
Speak in devils tongue
Fake the spoken word
Play with silence now
Well that's what I've heard

I've felt this love I felt this pain
I felt this heartache too

Something strange called love is happening to me
Something strange called love is happening to me

Oh you slide so good
With your bones so fair
You've got the universe
Reclining in your hair
Say my love is good
Say we're not too old
I call you jaguar
If I may be so bold

I've felt this love I felt this pain
I felt this heartache too
I came so close but no one knows
The love I felt for you

Something strange called love is happening to me
Something strange called love is happening to me

They say that we're much too young
To fall in love
Well, what do they know?
They say that our kind of love
Just ain't enough
Well what do they know?

Something strange called love

Oh you slide so good
But just take your time
Drink the blood of fools
I've got to make you mine
Speak in devils tongue
Fake the spoken word
Play with silence now
Well that's what I've heard

I've felt this love I felt this pain
I felt this heartache too
I came so close but no one knows
The love I felt for you

Something strange called love is happening to me
Something strange called love is happening to me (repeat)

Don't Take My Mind On A Trip
I never thought you'd feel this way
The way you feel about me
I just wanna hold you tight
Real tight close to me

And the things you used to say
And the things you used to do
I let it go, cause
I love you so

And the things never go my way
Why do you always have to play
With my feelings
Cause

Oh yeah it's not the way we planned it

Don't take my mind on a trip
Cause to play me for a fool
You don't love me that ain't cool
No, no

Don't take my mind on a trip
Don't take my love for granted
Cause that's not the way
we planned it

Always going out at night
Playing games on me
Telling me all those lies
Cause you been seen with another guy

Everybody makes mistakes
Don't you know that it's ok
I still love you so
I just can't let you go

And it's not that I'm a fool
I'm just so in love with you
I can't stand the blues
Cause

Oh yeah it's not the way we planned it
Don't take my mind... Don't take me for a fool

Don't take my mind on a trip
Cause to play me for a fool
You don't love me that ain't cool
No, no

Don't take my mind on a trip
Don't take my love for granted
Cause that's not the way
we planned it

It's not the way we planned it
That's not the way
Don't take my mind on a trip
Trip, trip, trip, trip

Don't take my mind on a trip
Cause to play me for a fool
You don't love me that ain't cool
No, no

Don't take my mind on a trip
Don't take my love for granted
Cause that's not the way
We planned it

I Go Where I Go
I go where I go
You don't need to let me know
I go where I go

Baby I know this ain't perfection
But you're good to me sometimes
Holding onto love for those moments
Some would say is a waste of my time

When I hold you up people say I'm sad
Sad and lonely
When you put me down people say I'm sad
But they don't know me

I go where I go
You don't need to let me know
I go where I go
Where I go

People tell me boy, it's foolish
Always got so much to say
Lovers, dreamers, come between us
But we always find our way

If you break my heart I will still be here
Like a broken fool
Told you from the start, pain won't make us part
That's the golden rule

I go where I go
You don't need to let me know
I go where I go
I go where I go

They don't tell us nothing new
We're as bright as day
Live on love, that's what we do
This is what I say

I go where I go
I go where I go
You don't need to tell me so
I go where I go
I go where I go
You don't need to tell me so

I go where I go
You don't need to let me know
I go where I go
You don't need to tell me so
