What Do You Want lyrics - Culture Club

Right do we do
Pretty faces preferably
make the sea away
You float into my vision once again
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'll give you everything you need
What do you want
Pretty faces break your heart
words that turn to dust
I need to love in 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'll give you everything you need
What do you want from me
I give you everything you need
Twisted security
I'll give you everything you need
Lover we are lover we are lover we are lover we are love ya
Lover we are lover we are lover we are lover we are need ya
Lover we are lover we are lover we are lover we are love ya
Lover we are lover we are lover we are lover we are 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'll give you everything you need
Twisted security
I'll give you everything you need
What do you want from me
I'll give you everything you need
Twisted security
I'll give you everything you need

"From Luxury To Heartache" (1986)

Move Away lyrics - Culture Club

Moving Moving 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
(Justice right)
I need you so
I can't let go
I never said I'd hold your hand
Why don't you move?

I Pray lyrics - Culture Club

When you hear them talking
Saying things 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

Work On Me Baby lyrics - Culture Club

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

Gusto Blusto lyrics - Culture Club

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
Cos you want to take it all for 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 had 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 knew
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 lyrics - Culture Club

United (I get so tired of speaking)
What if you're a lonely boy?
What if you're a 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 lonely 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?
(And I will never let go)
What if your intent is true?
(No matter how we control)
What if you're just tired of crying?
(I will never let go, no matter how we control)
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

God Thank You Woman lyrics - Culture Club

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
God thank you woman
Thank you thank you
For the joy that you give to me
In this world you are my pleasure
No one can compete
Happiness is hard to measure
Woman you're so sweet
I would give my heart to you
You're the air I breathe
There is nothing I won't do
Just promise that you'll never leave
When I'm alone at night
I think of love
Well baby that's alright
but it ain't enough
Won't you call me if you need 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

Reasons lyrics - Culture Club

Many lives they come, many lives they go
Without reason
In my heart I know I cannot let go
Without reason
Little children don't you feel so sad
When you come home feeling lost and bad
You got a reason, oh you got a reason
Oh woman, I gave my heart to you
When I found out what you've been through
You got a reason, oh you got a reason
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
Without a reason in my heart
how could you know?
(I know)
When they find you crying sorrow tears
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
You got a reason, gimme that reason
Many lives they come, many lives they go
Without a reason in your heart
how could you know?
In my heart I know I cannot let go
Gotta reason in my heart and don't you know?
I believe in love
I believe in you baby
What about love?
Give it to me
You gotta give me a reason baby
Little children don't you feel so bad
When you come home feeling lost and sad
You got a reason
Believe it in your heart and it will show

Too Bad lyrics - Culture Club

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

Come Clean lyrics - Culture Club

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

Sexuality lyrics - Culture Club

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

From Luxury To Heartache lyrics - Culture Club

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

"Waking Up With The House On Fire" (1984)

Dangerous Man lyrics - Culture Club

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 it's 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
Are we not men
did you save us?
Are we not men
did you try, did you try?
We have been, we have been, we have been, we have been
denied
I could word it out
like a dangerous man
If they landed here
we'd collect them
Yellow, black or white here in the circus of men
I don't know
I don't care
I forget you
