"Don't Mind If I Do" (1999)

I Just Wanna Be Loved lyrics - Culture Club

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 who won't bring me down
How you tried to level me
But you never stood your ground
Fortunately I got wise this time
Fortunately I got me on my mind
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 shout it out
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 got me on my mind
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 shout it out
When you love someone
Don't you know
love is blind
When you love someone
It'll be for all time
That's right

Cold Shoulder lyrics - Culture Club

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 in my mind
You'll be the loser
You might find
Questions lead to answers in time
While you're so cold
so cold inside
(To reach you babe)
Remember that fight in Amsterdam
When I made you cry 'cos 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 in 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 hurt inside
Want someone to pay for the tears you cry
Ain't gonna be me
not this time
Never lie
never play those games in 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 in 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 babe
Cos I love you
But my head says
Not this time!

Maybe I'm A Fool lyrics - Culture Club

Dangerous lover
With the bluegreen 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
That's right
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
[Rap]
(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
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
I can't live without you
Can't live without you
Maybe Maybe baby I'm a fool for your lovin'

Sign Language lyrics - Culture Club

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
After all this time why can't we get it right?
So you made me
a creep
I'm not losing any sleep
Cause my scars are much too deep
Don't start getting precious on me
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
Hey 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
After all this time why can't we get it right?
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
After all this time why can't we get it right
After all this love why can't we get it right
Let's get it right

Mirror lyrics - Culture Club

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 the 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
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 just don't get it
Do you?
In a moment of desperation
We forgive and we close our eyes
Reaching out for that one sensation to survive

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

Black Comedy lyrics - Culture Club

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

Your Kisses Are Charity lyrics - Culture Club

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 it 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
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
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
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

Weep For The Child lyrics - Culture Club

Hey you,
do you ever cry for the child?
Fall in love with strangers feeling incomplete
Yeah that's me
Some are fly
some are shy,
some are acting like they own the street
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
Sometimes so rancour
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
Sometimes you fake it
Sometimes you lie
Don't ask me why
Don't leave me alone to make it tonight
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 No No
Sweet baby
You never understood
You never treat me right
Weep for the child
Better raise your hand
Do you understand?
Don't leave me alone to make it tonight
Weep for the child in your heart

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

See Thru lyrics - Culture Club

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
Shooting the rainbows from the sky
Throwing your love to pass us 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
Ain't no use in demanding justice
You're a victim of your sign
I held you up when your heart was heavy
Now you'll never give me mine
In the mirror my sad reflection hunting me
One more time
One more time
And you just don't get it, do ya
But you just might regret it
Shooting the rainbows from the sky
Throwing your love to pass us 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
Shooting the rainbows from the sky
Throwing your love to pass us 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
Just don't get it no you just don't get it do you
You just don't get it but you might regret it
Shooting the rainbows from the sky
Throwing your love to pass us 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
Yes I do
You're so see thru
Just don't get it no you just don't get it do you (I was ready to give it all)
You just don't get it but you might regret it (I was tired of feeling small)

Strange Voodoo lyrics - Culture Club

How can I help you boy
when I don't even help myself
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
Ain't 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 love you boy
when you don't even love yourself
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 is some strange voodoo
Ain't 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
Loving you I keep loving you yes I do

Truth Behind Her Smile lyrics - Culture Club

Just see how she makes them love her
Twisting the world around her finger
Sensing weakness in a stranger
With one kiss she'll rearrange ya
But I know the truth behind her smile
Keep me warm tonight never satisfied
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 her 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 satisfied
If you meet again she may pass you by
No apologies, never compromise
It's the truth behind her smile

Fat Cat lyrics - Culture Club

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 sighing 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

Confidence Trick lyrics - Culture Club

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 asail
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
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
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
Your truth is
your truth is a lie
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
To where you are!

Starman lyrics - Culture Club

(originally by David Bowie)

Oh Oh Oh
Didn't know what time it was
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
There was 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
cos 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 his light
if we can sparkle
he may land tonight
Don't tell your pop 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
cos 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

Less Than Perfect lyrics - Culture Club

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

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

The War Song lyrics - Culture Club

War war is stupid
and people are stupid
And love means nothin
in some strange quarters
War war is stupid
and people are stupid
And I heard them banging
on hearts and fingers
People fill the world
with narrow confidence
Like a child at birth
a man with no 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
Man is far behind
in the search for something new
Like a Philistine
we're burning witches too
This world of fate
must be designed for you
It matters what you say
it matters what you do
Now we're fighting
in our hearts
Fighting in the streets
Won't somebody help me
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

Unfortunate Thing lyrics - Culture Club

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
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...
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

Crime Time lyrics - Culture Club

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

Mistake No. 3 lyrics - Culture Club

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 3
It's strange how much it changes
How they want to know
How cynical are people
That's where children go
Dragged into a conversation
They can't hold
It's so sad but it prepares them
For the mould
Make Mistake Number 3
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
Make Mistake Number 3

The Dive lyrics - Culture Club

When I wake up feeling victimized
There is nothing that can stop my eyes
from crying
When you put the pressure down on me
'Cause I don't quite fit your imagery
I'm trying
Baby I'm no Superman
Hey
Baby I'm no Superman
Eyes like a deep blue sea
To dive in
Love that you give to me
We're surviving
When love is gone
I can't carry on
When you know that love is on my mind
It's a perfect chance to be unkind
you 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
Eyes like a deep blue sea
To dive in
Love that you give to me
We're 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?

The Medal Song lyrics - Culture Club

You used to say love and be loved
all the time
Till 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
We are just everyday people
not a theatre company
Everyone wants to join us
there's no fear in us you see
It's me for you
and you for me
Sun go east, sun go west
Will I wear a medal again
Sun go east, sun go west
We can dance and bring on the rain
Now I say love for love
not for a space in time
The strangest things
can shatter kings
and take away what's mine
When it's raining in my heart
I want the world to know
I would rather dance with you
Than have a medal to show
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

Don't Talk About It lyrics - Culture Club

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
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
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

Mannequin lyrics - Culture Club

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
Cos he's a beggar lover believer
You are just an innocent reader
He's the mannequin of your dreams
Step inside him
Look at the world his way
Laughter is loud
from the fool in the crowd
You'll crack his smile one day
Every dream must follow where we go
Don't let them shatter your ego
Mannequin, lover mannequin, my lover mannequin
Mannequin, lover mannequin, my lover mannequin
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?
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

Hello Goodbye lyrics - Culture Club

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

Don't Go Down That Street lyrics - Culture Club

Don't go down that street
In those shoes that squeak
'Cos I get afraid
That you might not come home
Careful how you speak
When you're on the street
'Cos they've gone and broken
every telephone
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
'Cos I'm chicken feed
when they're on their own
Don't get in that car
Things might go too far
[Japanese = don't get in that car]
Don't go down that street, no no no
Don't go down that street, no no no
Don't go down that street
[translated by a penpal of mine: Mayumi Hada]
[Japanese talkover by Miko:]
Don't walk alone
Your parents are afraid
You must observe the curfew
At last you'll be the wolves food
Stop going to discos
You are too young to walk alone
There's too many wolves in the street
Be careful

La Cancion De Guerra lyrics - Culture Club

Guerra, guerra es estúpida
Y la gente es estúpida
And love means nothing
In some strange quarters
Guerra, guerra es estúpida
Y la gente es estúpida
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 defense
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

Guerra, guerra es estúpida
Y la gente es estúpida
And love means nothing
In some strange quarters
Guerra, guerra es estúpida
Y la gente es estúpida
And I heard them banging
On hearts and fingers
(War)

Man is far behind
In the search for something new
Like a Philistine
We're burning witches too
This world of fate
Must be designed for you
It matters what you say
It matters what you do

Now we're fighting in our hearts
Fighting in the streets
Won't somebody help me

Guerra, guerra es estúpida
Y la gente es estúpida
And love means nothing
In some strange quarters
Guerra, guerra es estúpida
Y la gente es estúpida
And I heard them banging
On hearts and fingers

(War war war war war
War war war war war
War war war war war
War war war war war
War war 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 War)

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

Now we're fighting in our hearts
Fighting in the streets
Won't somebody help me

Guerra, guerra es estúpida
Y la gente es estúpida
And love means nothing
In some strange quarters
Guerra, guerra es estúpida
Y la gente es estúpida
And I heard them banging
On hearts and fingers

(Guerra, guerra es estúpida)
No more war
(Y la gente es estúpida)
Said no more war
Said war
(And love means nothing
In some strange quarters)
I said war
(Guerra, guerra es estúpida)
Said no more war
(Y la gente es estúpida)
Said no more war
Said war
(And I heard them banging
On hearts and fingers)

(Guerra, guerra es estúpida)

In some strange quarters
Guerra, guerra es estúpida)
Senso hant-ai
(Y la gente es estúpida)

Say no more war

On hearts and fingers)
Say no more

(Guerra, guerra es estúpida)
No more war

Say no more war
(And love means nothing)
And no more war
(In some strange quarters
Guerra, guerra es estúpida

And no more war
Oh, war
(And I heard them banging).

Karma Chameleon lyrics - Culture Club

Desert loving in your eyes all the way
If I listened 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

[Chorus:]
Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon
You come and go
You come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors 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

[Chorus]

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 without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go
You come and go

[Chorus 3x]

It's A Miracle lyrics - Culture Club

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
And dreams are made of emotion
Dance with the counterfeit
The plastic smiles and micro heat
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
And dreams are made of emotion
Cry it's a miracle
Cry it's a miracle

Black Money lyrics - Culture Club

Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in black money
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 black money
Do you deal in black money
I believe that
nothing could come between us
Magic potions
Won't you save them for dreamers
Somebody else's life cannot be mine
Give me some love
But don't waste my time
Black money
I'll love you again
But you must be mine
Black money
Give me some love
But don't waste my time
Black money

Changing Every Day lyrics - Culture Club

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 in your life
When people get hungry
They learn how to survive
Changing every day
Changing every day
Changing every day
Changing every day
Summer syncopation
The space between your eyes
Is a place for heroes
That never compromise
Sometimes you feel lonely
No focus or surprise
Pushed into production
What a way to live our lives
Changing every day
Changing every day
Changing every day
Changing every day

That's The Way (I'm Only Trying To Help You) lyrics - Culture Club

Clowns caress you
Figures undress your fear
Induce the crime beyond emotion
Shedding tears as big as the ocean
Don't say you didn't hear us calling
You'll be sorry in the morning
When we tell you
mama 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
You'll be sorry in the morning
When we tell you
mama 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

Church Of The Poison Mind lyrics - Culture Club

Desolate loving in yor eyes
You used to 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 hard to find
In the church of the poison mind
In the church of the poison mind
In the church of the poison mind
Whatch me clinging to the beat
I had to fight to make it mine
That religion you coul sink it neat
Just move your feet and 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 poison mind
In the church of the poison mind
In the church of the poison mind

Miss Me Blind lyrics - Culture Club

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
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

Mister Man lyrics - Culture Club

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 live 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's 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 live the way I do
Ain't it obvious
I'm much more black than blue
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

Stormkeeper lyrics - Culture Club

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
Ooh 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

Victims lyrics - Culture Club

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
Oh I could be warm with you smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims we know them so well
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
Fell like a child on a dark night
Wishing we could spend it together
Oh I could be warm with you smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims
We know them so well
So well

Melting Pot lyrics - Culture Club

Take a pinch of white man
Wrap him up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of a red Indian boy
Like a Curly Latin kinkies
Oh Lord, Lord, 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, what we need
is a great big melting pot
Big enough big enough big enough to take
The world and all it's 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, what we need
is a great big melting pot
Big enough big enough big 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

Mystery Boy lyrics - Culture Club

Ooh mystery boy
Ooh mystery boy
Always 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
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

Man Shake lyrics - Culture Club

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 know I've heard the drum track
You're just a basic enemy
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 rearrange us
Who would shake your effigy
Man shake
Man shake

Colour By Numbers lyrics - Culture Club

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
The colours we chose
When I told you those lies
Felt the spirit of love
Demanding more than
compromise
Took a chance for a while
Speaking in tongues
That float us down rivers
The past will remind us
Our 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

"Kissing To Be Clever" (1982)

White Boy lyrics - Culture Club

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 colours
I know what this is
A one man show
THATS HOW WE KNOW
THATS HOW WE KNOW
your white
Does it show?
Your white dance like an enemy
Your white dance like an enemy
Your white dance like an enemy
Your so white
White boys fall out
In a whirl of decisions
Show me what is
Then show me what isn't
A heart too slow
THATS HOW WE KNOW
THATS HOW WE KNOW
your white
does the blood flow
Your white dance like an enemy
Your white dance like an enemy
Your white dance like an enemy
Your so white
Your 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
like 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!
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 babys (not my kind)
THIS LUST IS FASHION
Thats my sin
By falling out
Were falling in
Now I'm broken
Watch it flow
I'm taking over
Can't let go (falling out with the big boys)

You Know I'm Not Crazy lyrics - Culture Club

Say your mind has an overload
Your heart beats rhythm
hot and cold
Your stature has a naked buzz
When your near
your 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 couldn't 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
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 fate

I'll Tumble 4 Ya lyrics - Culture Club

Downtown
we'll drown
We're in our never splender
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
an so much more
I'LL TUMBLE 4 YA
I'LL TUMBLE 4 YA
I'LL TUMBLE 4 YA
I'LL TUMBLE 4 YOU
Uptown their sound
It's like the native
you send her
Junktion, funktion
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 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 CANT LET GO
I SAY
I'll be your baby, I'll be your score
I'll run the gun for you
an so much more
I'LL TUMBLE 4 YA
I'LL TUMBLE 4 YA
I'LL TUMBLE 4 YA
I'LL TUMBLE 4 YOU

Take Control lyrics - Culture Club

No defeat
Your dance is sweet
Cause you
ripped it from my soul
I'll kiss you
And we will 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
Your using me
(if it's true get 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)

Love Twist lyrics - Culture Club

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 oh 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
rrrrrrrrrr (RIGHT)
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)
rrrrrrrrr (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

Boy, Boy (I'm The Boy) lyrics - Culture Club

Words that pull the trigger
Fear the laughing sound
Haunts you
to consider
Love might turn 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 somebodys heart
Whats the use in taking
Babys 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 boys 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

I'm Afraid Of Me lyrics - Culture Club

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

White Boys Can't Control It lyrics - Culture Club

When your a white boy
Life gets you high
You hold out thinking...
And you know why
You hold out
With the law of men
And when you die
Your born again
Put down your gun
And find your heart
We're dying soldiers
We don't dance (for the devil)
When your 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)

Do You Really Want To Hurt Me? lyrics - Culture Club

Give me time to realize 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

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

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

Time (Clock Of The Heart) lyrics - Culture Club

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
In time we could've been so much more
But time is precious I know
In time we could've 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 got nothing
but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me 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
In time we could've been so much more
But time is precious I know
In time we could've 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 nothing but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time

Love Is Cold (You Were Never No Good) lyrics - Culture Club

You were never no good!
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!
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!
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

Mystery Boy lyrics - Culture Club

Ooh mystery boy
Ooh mystery boy
Always 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
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

Love Is Love lyrics - Culture Club

[from "Electric Dreams" soundtrack] 

 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
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

More Than Silence lyrics - Culture Club

Watching you play our favourite song
Shutters down, headphones on
I want the world to know my pain
You play a cold game

Wounded soul, bi-polar tears
Whisper your name so no-one hears
I'll be the mirror of all your fears
I'll play a slow game

I could use a little more than silence
Just three words that echo in my heart
I could use a little more than silence
Silence is the moon in a lonely sky

Wondering who you're gonna be
Fall into her or into me
I want the world to know your name
You play a cold game

Wounded soul, bi-polar tears
I whisper your name so no-one hears
You let me mirror all your fears
I'll play a slow game

I could use a little more than silence
Just three words that echo in my heart
I could use a little more than silence
Silence is the moon in a lonely sky

Don't talk, don't try
Don't try, don't lie
Don't lie

I could use a little more than silence
Just three words that echo in my heart
I could use a little more than silence
Silence is the moon in a lonely sky

Deepening words, deepening words, more than silence
