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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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

In this heart of mine
I'll find a place for you

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]
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
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
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
