    Live My Life
    (Hiding Out Soundtrack - 1988)
    I tell you baby, this is no way to live
    Make sacrifies, 'til there's nothing to give
    Everyone says there's rules to obey
    I can't follow when things never change

    Holding my chequebook, got a leak in the pipe
    Food on the table, but the landlord's knocked twice
    I want more than the shit on my back
    I've worked too hard just to repeat the past

    Satisfaction can be hard to find
    I go crazy keeping it all inside

    Ain't nobody's business
    How I live my life
    I learnt my lesson
    Whether it's wrong or right
    Ain't nobody baby
    Gonna tell me how
    I should live my life
    Do live my way now

    The roof is leaking, stack of pillows on my bed
    No way to wake up, all the dreams in my head
    Phone don't ring, got no man on the line
    Things could be better but I still feel fine

    Who can say what tomorrow will bring
    You give nothing, expecting everything

    Ain't nobody's business
    How I live my life
    I learnt my lesson
    Whether it's wrong or right
    Ain't nobody baby
    Gonna tell me how
    I should live my life
    Do live my way now

    Satisfaction can be hard to find
    I go crazy keeping it all inside

    Ain't nobody's business
    How I live my life
    I learnt my lesson
    Whether it's wrong or right
    Ain't nobody baby
    Gonna tell me how
    I should live my life
    Do live my way now

  • La sortie de ce 4eme single coïncide avec le début de la tournée.
    Le vidéo-clip est réalisé sous la direction de JEAN BAPTISTE MONDINO, au coût de 10000 livres...
    Grâce à des trucages révoltionnaires, George apparait en femme fatale hollywoodienne au teint de porcelaine, chantant entre les pages d'un livre. Procédé éblouissant!!!

    Cela ne surprit pas George que MADONNA copie le clip trait pour trait en 1993 pour son clip "this used to be my playground" (George rebaptisa aussitot le clip "this used to be my video")

    Le single connut un grand succès (enfin!!!!!!) dans les charts Europeens.....
    Il se classe 13eme en Angleterre et en Italy et 16eme en France (16 semaines au TOP 50 national!)....

    La face b est "where are you now" tirré de l'album SOLD

    To Be Reborn
    Get off your knees
    Don't apologise
    'Cause I ain't got no time
    For no more lies
    You know the answer
    I gave it to you
    But you carry on
    With the things that you do
    Yes I have tried

    I, I could live, I could die
    I could be reborn in your arms
    I, I could laugh, I could cry, I could sigh if you're there
    To keep me warm
    To keep me warm, warm, warm

    Talk to me
    Open your eyes
    Talk to me
    Lose the disguise
    We had good love
    Most of the time
    Give it back
    That love is mine
    Give it back
    Just one more time

    I, I could live, I could die
    I could be reborn in your arms
    I, I could laugh, I could cry, I could sigh if you're there
    To keep me warm
    To keep me warm, warm, warm

    I know the answer
    What can we do
    I know the answer, yeah
    So do you
    I gave you love
    I gave it to you
    I gave you love - something new
    I gave you love

    I, I could live, I could die
    I could be reborn in your arms
    I, I could laugh, I could cry, I could sigh if you're there
    To keep me warm
    To keep me warm, warm, warm


    Where Are You Now? (When I Need You?)
    I'm right where you found me
    Someone left me on the street
    Life moving around me
    I said that I could not be beat
    I said I was lonely
    On my own I could not stand
    You said ain't you only
    Everybody's got it bad

    Why talk about it
    When you know you're gonna lie
    Why talk about it
    You can't even give me a reason why

    Where are you now when I need you?
    Where are you now when I need you?
    Where are you now when I need you?

    I said I was lonely
    On my own I could not stand
    You said ain't you only
    Everybody's got it bad (Everybody's got it bad)
    Life's moving around you
    Everybody's on the street
    Those beggars that found you
    They're the ones that say defeat, they do

    Why talk about it
    When you know you're gonna lie
    Why talk about it
    You can't even give me a reason why

    Where are you now when I need you?
    Where are you now when I need you?
    Where are you now when I need you?

    Don't talk, don't ever talk about it
    Don't talk, don't ever talk about it
    Don't talk, don't ever talk about it

    Where are you now when I need you?

  • Le 3eme single SOLD sort en novembre 1987!

    Il se classe seulement à la 24eme place des charts Anglais et 4eme en Italy....
    Il sort en France mais celle ci le boude, car le public (et les fans?????) n'adhere pas....

    lA FACE B est ARE YOU TOO AFRAID?

    Le clip SOLD lançait un cri contre l'apartheid. Il consacrait un retour aux beaux jours de Culture Club avec des dizaines de figurants, une reconstitution d'émeute raciale et des voitures en flammes.

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

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

    You're gonna like this one, you're gonna like this one
    I do

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

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

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

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

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


    Are You Too Afraid
    Hey yeah
    Hey yeah yeah
    Oh baby

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

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

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

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

    If you should say my affection
    Is a waste of your time

    Gonna keep on loving you

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

    Baby - Are you too afraid you found my love?

    I feel afraid
    I feel afraid

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

    Babe - Could you keep the love, you found it?

  • Un single qui sort en 1987 peu de temps apres "keep me in mind";
    Il s'agit d'une oeuvre caritative mais j'avoue que je ne connais pas grand CHOSE de ce disque et de cet évènement!

    Ce single est passé innaperçu en France.....

    GOSH ( Great Ormond Street Hospital) est un hopital qui avait besoin de fonds pour les travaux d'un troisième batiment, a fait appel à THE WISHING WELL le groupe éphémère de chanteurs qui ont sorti un titre pour celà. A noter que LADY DI en est devenue présidente en 1989.

    The Wishing Well
    (G.O.S.H! - 1987)

    When I look into a young child's eyes
    There's a light that will never die
    How can we let these hopes and dreams
    Slip by
    Just slip by

    But do we have to wait forever
    We won't have to wait forever
    I'll be here with you
    I'll take care of you

    So spare a coin for the wishing well
    And then who can tell
    What the future brings
    Just keep your heart to the wishing well
    And you will never
    No, never lose your dreams

    Now we can find a better place
    Full of joy and full of hope
    But we have got to give a lot
    So the little ones they can cope
    Help the little ones

    But do we have to wait forever
    We won't have to wait forever
    I'll be here with you
    I'll be with you
    I'll take care of you

    So spare a coin for the wishing well
    And then who can tell
    What the future brings
    Just keep your heart to the wishing well
    And you will never
    No, never lose your dreams

    And when we've found a way
    There will be a day
    When we all can say
    We believe in magic

    So spare a coin for the wishing well
    And then who can tell
    What the future brings
    Just keep your heart to the wishing well
    And you will never
    No, never lose your dreams

  • Après le succes énorme d' "everything i own", virgin décide de sortir un 2eme single...
    Boy George choisit KEEP ME IN MIND....

    Il ne rencontrera pas le succes escomptés!
    Il grimpera jusqu'à la 29eme place des charts Anglais et 5eme en Italy...
    Il ne sort pas en France ni même aux Etats Unis....

    la face b est "state of love"

    Le clip fut tourné à la BARBADE....
    George partit une semaine à l'avance en vacance à la Barbade avec ses parents et Mickael Dunne, son petit ami....
    Il se disputa beaucoup avec son père qui détenait les clefs de la pharmacie familiale...
    En effet, George, encore mal en point souhaite augmenter sa quantité de médicaments...
    George commenca donc une nouvelle crise de drogue : du vallium (somniferes)....

    Paul Starr devint le maquilleur de George pendant le clip.... et lui fit un style adolescent pour cacher les kilos superflues de George....

    Keep Me In Mind
    You got, you got, you got everything

    You know I'm not someone
    Who likes to wait around in line
    You know I'm not someone
    Who likes to waste a lot of time

    Love will find the answer
    In every little thing you do
    Love will find the answer
    And it's always gonna come to you

    If you just keep me in mind
    'Cause there may not be a second time
    Keep me in mind
    For the rest of your life
    Keep me in mind
    For the rest of your life
    Keep me in mind

    You know I'm not someone
    Who likes to use words like love
    You know I'm not someone
    Who likes to put myself above

    Love will find the answer
    In every little thing you do
    Love will find the answer
    And it's always gonna come to you

    If you just keep me in mind
    'Cause there may not be a second time
    Keep me in mind
    For the rest of your life
    Keep me in mind
    For the rest of your life
    Keep me in mind

    Love will find the answer
    And it's always gonna come to you

    If you just keep me in mind
    'Cause there may not be a second time
    Keep me in mind
    For the rest of your life
    Keep me in mind
    For the rest of your life
    Keep me in mind
