Fin 1998, Sort THE UNRECOUPABLE ONE MAN BANDIT, un album non commercial destinés uniquement aux fans (c'est également indiqués sur la pochette back) qui sort "sous le manteau" et en IMPORT en FRANCE, réunissant des inédits et des démos durant la composition de l'album CHEAPNESS & BEAUTY...
Cet album pourrait presque s'appeler CHEAPNESS & BEAUTY number 2, tellement il lui ressemble!
Néanmois, celui ci s'avère plus rock et ne comporte pas autant de mélodies "accrocheuses" que CHEAPNESS & BEAUTY.
G.I JOSEPHINE a été écrite pendant la tournée de CHEAPNESS & BEAUTY et est une réponse au président BILL CLINTON. George dit " don't ask, don't tell" concernant les gays militaires.
MR STRANGE relate de la stupide rivalité qu'il y a eu entre STEVE STRANGE et George durant les années 80.
George abandonna cette chanson dans les archives après être parti de VIRGIN...
SHE WAS NEVER HE est une ode sur les drag queen...
NUMBER ONE est une satire sur les pop stars comme lui et CULTURE CLUB qui sont condamnés a réaliser que des hits, comme madonna le fait aujourdhui.... cela le fait rire et en fit une chanson.
BROKEN SPIRIT est dédié a son frere GERALD et SUFFRAGETTE CITY à David BOWIE dont il a été fan et auquel il s'est longuement inspiré...

GI Josephine
I serve my country well
In slingbacks and beret
I march on your hypocrisy
'Cause I am feeling queer today
As bright as all your medals
And shiny epaulettes
But I can't go to war right now
'Cause my hair is a mess
Ah don't ask don't tell
Contaminate me with your smell
Perfume powder treachery
Loaded guns and sodomy
Soak me down with your desire
In the shower under fire
Wave the white flag, keep it clean
Call me G.I. Josephine
The dykes are on the starboard
They're polishing the guns
They're battening the hatches
As tough as any mother's son
Ain't no procreation
No baby cribs at sea
No friggin' in the riggin'
You can leave the boys for me
Ah don't ask don't tell
Contaminate me with your smell
Perfume powder treachery
Loaded guns and sodomy
Soak me down with your desire
In the shower under fire
Wave the white flag, keep it clean
Call me G.I. Josephine
Come out
Come out
And it's one two three
I don't live by the book
Don't ask me I don't give a damn
I don't wanna be a man
And it's five six seven
Open up the pearly gates
Ain't no time to wonder why
Anyone can die
Ah don't ask don't tell
Contaminate me with your smell
Perfume powder treachery
Loaded guns and sodomy
Soak me down with your desire
In the shower under fire
Wave the white flag, keep it clean
Call me G.I. Josephine
Mr Strange
I never liked you much it's true, it's true
But forgive the hateful things I say and do, 'cause I do
The world is a mirror and I see the things I hate
Every accusation that I dared to make
Here come Princess Julia
Looking like a Godess 'til she opens her mouth
Lola Hola is spinning round
Stella wants vodka and she wants it now!
Oh Mr. Strange
Oh Mr. Strange
Oh Mr. Strange
You're very weird
Yes
I never liked myself it's true, well it's true
That's why I took my bitterness on you, well I do
I look into the mirror and I see the things I hate
Love to change the picture but it's much too late
Here come Princess Julia
Looking like a Godess 'til she opens her mouth
Lola Hola is spinning round
Stella wants vodka and she wants it now!
Oh Mr. Strange
Oh Mr. Strange
Oh Mr. Strange
You're very weird
Sister Philip bitchin' on the telephone
Some handsome scary creature followed Missy home
It's a dangerous game you play
So hide those Wedgewood plates today
'Cause all the love is take away
I know, I know Oh-oh
Mr Strangeways, strangeways
Oh Mr. Strange
Mr Strangeways, strangeways
Oh Mr. Strange
Mr. Strange
Oh Mr. Strange
Oh Mr. Strange
Oh Mr. Strange
You're very weird
She Was Never He
Tasha was a stunning vision, painted eyes with such precision
Longer legs than any girl I know
Swishing down the Old Kent Road, with her hips on overload
Making sure the lonliness don't show
She was never he for as long as I remember
She was never of her gender categorically
She was never he though the boys at school were cruel
You would have to be a fool not to see
That she was never...
Jodie she was quelle surprise, to fool the boys was such a breeze
But deep inside her heart the terror flowed
What if he should realise, break her heart or black her eyes
These things are so important for a girl to know
She was never he for as long as I remember
She was never of her gender categorically
She was never he though though this world could be so cruel
You would have to be a fool not to see
And the government says you no longer exist
It's a kick in the eye, it's the final twist
Of the surgeons knife
Welcome to my glamorous life
Oh the big dark man
Will he turn a blind eye
Love me for who I am
Turn me out and make me cry
She was never he for as long as I remember
She was never of her gender categorically
She was never he though this world could be so cruel
You would have to be a fool not to see
She was never he for as long as I remember
She was never of her gender categorically
She was never he though this world could be so cruel
You would have to be a fool not to see
that she was never...
Number One
I'm no Norma Desmond though I live for the applause
I know fame is a symptom of a far greater cause
Oh rock n roll is tragedy 'cause all the gals get old
You weep into the mirror 'cause the record never sold
If you loved me I'd be Number One
Yeah, If you loved me I'd never come undone
Yeah, If you loved me I'd be Madonna rich
Yeah, If you loved me I'd be one lucky bitch
If you loved me, you really love me yeah
I don't really care about the frailty of fame
I laugh at my reflection even when I play the game
Oh rock n roll illusion temporary master plan
You scrutinize the picture but do you ever see the man
But if you loved me I'd be Number One
Yeah, If you loved me I'd never ever come undone
Yeah, If you loved me I'd be Madonna rich
Yeah, If you loved me I'd be one lucky bitch
If you loved me, you really love me yeah
He's too damaged you're too needy
Turn your back and call his bluff
... love and greedy
Lonliness is not enough
Not enough
Not enough
But I need that stuff, yeah!
But if you loved me I'd be Number One
If you loved me I'd be Elvis when he was young
Yeah, If you loved me I'd dance like Fred Astaire
Yeah, If you loved me I wouldn't even care
About the lawyers and the taxman and the boys from my past
Are the rumours really true? Well, I thought you'd never ask!
Are you taking me to bed?, Are we dancing in the rain?
If I really feel your hurt I won't ever call again
Spooky Truth
"Spooky Truth is about the realisation that a relationship is doomed, hence the line "There's no use denying we could write the ending now". It features my friend and fellow artiste Eve Gallagher on guest vocals. Everyone used to say that we sounded alike which I didn't get but on this track it's hard to tell us apart until she lets out one of her gravity defying screams. We never finished the mix on this, "tres raw", but I think it would be a great one for Cher"
Spooky
Come on down and meet yourself all your former glory
You should know the truth by now that's another story
Can I look beyond your promises to where my future lies
Can I rise to your dishonesty too much compromise
This is the spooky truth ain't no hope, ain't no use
This is the spooky truth and my heart won't be denied
One more night
There's no use denying we can write the ending now
All the tears, the frustration all the why, and what, and how
Can I look into the future see your spirits rise
Can we advise on truth and passion all our sorry lies
This is the spooky truth ain't no hope ain't no use
This is the spooky truth ain't no love ain't no proof
This is the spooky truth and my heart won't be denied
One more night
Spooky.....
Spooky.....
Spooky boy
Spooking me
This is the spooky truth ain't no hope ain't no use
This is the spooky truth ain't no love ain't no proof
This is the spooky spooky spooky spooky truth
This is the spooky truth I need love I need proof
This is the spooky truth and my heart won't be denied
One more night
In Maya
"Maya is Greek for magic but it's also a Hindu word for Materialism. If you have no spiritual beliefs and are living a hedonistic life, then you are in Maya. Hindu's believe that we should detach from life and lovers but I always had a problem with that. I wrote the song for Michael because try as I might, I have never been able to detach from him."
Boy I like the way you stand
There's no blood upon your hands
Turn the world around for me
Chase the fools out of my life
When I'm wrong you set me right
You are living grace to me
When I'm lying here afraid and full of fear
My heart is telling me our love is insincere
You smile that wicked smile like you know everything
Then I hear, oh yes I hear, I can hear the angels sing
In maya, in my heart
In maya, in my heart
In maya, in my heart
You're in my heart
Yes
Blessed is the heart of man
So many ways to understand
You know everything I fear
Oh boy you breathe the light of day
And you make the oceans sway
It's so good to have you near
When I'm lying here afraid and full of fear
My heart is telling me our love is insincere
You smile that wicked smile like you know everything
Then I hear, oh yes I hear, I can hear the angels sing
In maya, in my heart
In maya, in my heart
In maya, in my heart
You're in my heart
When I'm scared
I protect myself
I put the blame onto someone else
Wicked words just to make you cry
If I am bad I apologise
In maya, in my heart
In maya, in my heart
In maya, in my heart
You're in my heart
In maya
In maya
In maya, in my heart
You're in my heart
Yes you are
Vanity Case
"Vanity Case is about models, perfect people who get by on their looks and never have to work on their social skills. If you are born pretty there is only one way to go, down, but if you are born average, you can only only improve on what you were given. I'm not saying I hate pretty people, I'm a sucker for a pretty face, but I think they were put on earth to torture us."
Do you like my hair
Do you like my shoes
These shallow promises shot through these eyes of blue
Do you like my mind
Do you even care
If there's anyone up there (yeah,yeah,yeah)
Beauty beauty look at you
I wish to God I had it too
You're so pretty do you swing?
Guess you can't have everything
Oh my soul, you're so beautiful, you're beautiful
Oh my soul, you're so beautiful, you're beautiful
Do you like my hips
Do you lke my teeth
Hey, would you notice me if I walked down the street
A vanity case with a switch on smile
Is there anyone up there? (yeah)
Beauty beauty look at you
I wish to God I had it too
You're so pretty do you swing?
Guess you can't have everything
Oh my soul, you're so beautiful, you're beautiful
Oh my soul, you're so beautiful, you're beautiful
Oh my soul, you're so beautiful
Beauty beauty look at you
I wish to God I had it too
You're so pretty do you swing?
(whistle) Kiss me!
Oh my soul, you're so beautiful, you're beautiful
Oh my soul, you're so beautiful, so beautiful
Oh my soul, you're so beautiful, (comin' at you) you're beautiful
Oh my soul, you're so beautiful, (ha ha) you're beautiful (ha ha)
(ha ha)
(ha ha)
(whistle)
Get a load'a that!
(whistle)
Thank you!
Broken Spirit
I stand accused of loving you despite the crime
I must forgive to protect my broken heart
I see the vultures like dark angels as they swoop
But only God will ever really know the truth
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
Though I know it ain't such an easy thing to do
Will you keep me in your prayers
'Cause I know the good Lord cares
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
You call it evil, I disagree
So hard to face the darker parts of you and me
You point the finger and you cast the stone
But you have secrets and confessions of your own
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
Though I know it ain't such an easy thing to do
Will you keep me in your prayers
'Cause I know the good Lord cares
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
Broken spirit I know your name
So lift your head high I can feel your shame
Your mind is twisted with this crazy fear
But you're in my heart and
I'm gonna keep you there
Gonna keep you there
Gonna keep you there
Oh yeah
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
Though I know it ain't such an easy thing to do
Will you keep me in your prayers
'Cause I know the good Lord cares
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
Though I know it ain't such an easy thing to do
Will you keep me in your prayers
'Cause I know the good Lord cares
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?
If the Lord can forgive why can't you?

Who Killed Rock n Roll
"Who Killed Rock n Roll would be perfect for Kiss, ha ha. I don't know what I was on when I wrote this. I hate MTV, they have ripped the heart and soul out of rock n roll, so it's my "I don't want my MTV" song. Of course a proper rock band would never slag of MTV but I don't care cause they don't play my stuff."
The dj spins the records on WRKO
But you must forgive him for the things he does not know
The world it has changed so much
Corporation damn my soul
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Everyday on MTV you can hear the same thing twice
Corporation brainwash put my mind into a vice
Jokers on the airwaves
Pretenders on the throne
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Ziggy play guitar for me
Give me my T-Rex-tacy
These plastic Gods and wannabe's
Will never blow my mind
The dj spins the records on WRKO
And you must forgive him for the things he does not know
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Tell me who killed rock n roll
Tell me who killed rock n roll
