    La face b est "use me"...

    Everything I Own
    You sheltered me from harm
    Kept me warm, you kept me warm
    You gave my life to me
    You set me free, set me free

    Of all the years I ever knew
    Those finer ones I spent with you

    I would give everything I own
    Give up my life, my heart, my home
    I would give everything I own
    Just to have you back again

    You taught me how to cry
    I don't know why, just don't know why
    You told those lies to me
    You set me free, set me free

    Of all the years I ever knew
    Those finer ones I spent with you

    I would give everything I own
    Give up my life, my heart, my home
    I would give everything I own
    Just to have you back again
    Just to hold you once again

    If there's someone you know
    That won't let you go
    And is taking it all for granted
    You may lose them one day
    Someone take them away
    And you don't hear a word they say

    I would give everything I own
    Give up my life, my heart, my home
    I would give everything I own
    Just to have you back again


    Use Me
    Waking up beside you
    Felt a slap that made you cry
    Nowhere else to hide those
    Dirty little thoughts of mine

    No angel trying to love you, no way
    I wouldn't put that by your side
    I ain't, I ain't above you, no
    I let my morals take a slide

    When you know it's over
    Why then waste my time, yeah
    When you know it's over
    Don't tell me it's just one more mountain to climb

    Use me
    Use me like you found the time
    Use me
    Use me 'cause tonight you're mine

    No angel trying to love you, no way
    I wouldn't put that by your side
    I ain't, I ain't above you, no
    I let my morals take a slide

    When you know it's over
    Why then waste my time, yeah
    When you know it's over
    Don't tell me it's just one more mountain to climb

    Use me
    Use me like you found the time
    Use me
    Use me 'cause tonight you're mine

    Use me
    Use me like you found the time
    Use me
    Use me 'cause tonight you're mine

    Use me
    Use me 'cause tonight you're mine
    Use me
    Use me 'cause you've found the time

    Use me
    Use me 'cause tonight you're mine
    Use me
    Use me like you found the time

    Use me
    Use me 'cause tonight you're mine
    Use me
    Use me like you found the time

    Use me
    Use me 'cause tonight you're mine
    Use me

    Love Is Cold (You Were Never No Good)
    you were never no good (x4)

    oh no...
    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 (x4)

    oh no...
    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 (x20)

    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
    that you can not have love in your hand

    Le titre original est " Don't Go Joe", Love Is Cold (You Were Never No Good) est la B-side du 45t " Do You Really Want To Hurt Me "




    Mystery Boy
    Ooh mystery boy
    Ooh mystery boy

    Ooh, it's 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
    ooh
    ooh
    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

    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 now I've heard the drum track
    You're just a basic enemy

    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 re-arrange us
    Who would shake your effigy

    Colour By Numbers
    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

    Of colours we chose

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

    Of 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

    Of colours we chose

    Colour By Numbers devait apparaitre dans l'album du même nom mais fut hélas abandonné en B-side de Victims et Miss Me Blind.




    Melting Pot

    Take a pinch of white man
    Wrap him up in black skin
    Add a touch of blue blood
    And a little bitty bit of red Indian boy
    Oh like a Curly Latin kinkies
    Oh Lordy, Lordy, 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 is a great big melting pot
    Big enough enough 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

    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 is a great big melting pot
    Big enough enough 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

    Coffee coloured people
    Coffee coloured people
    Coffee coloured people by the score

    la version originale est signé BLUE MINK en 1969! C'est une des chansons favorites de George qu'il inclua au final de son concert avec Culture Club en 1983 "a kiss across the ocean tour"!



    Don't Go Down That Street
    Don't go down that street
    In those shoes that squeak
    'Cause I get afraid that you might not come home
    Careful how you speak
    When you're on the street
    'Cause 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

    Socchi e ikuna
    Socchi e ikuna
    Socchi e ikuna

    Don't go down that street
    Where the brave boys meet
    'Cause I'm chicken feed when they're on their own
    Don't get in that car
    Things might go too far
    Sono kuruma ni noruna

    Don't go down that street, no no no
    Don't go down that street, no no no
    Don't go down that street

    From Luxury To Heartache
    Luxury and heartache
    Oh yeah
    Oh luxury and heartache
    Oh yeah

    I won't be coming home tomorrow
    Nobody there to catch my tears
    I won't be leaving tears of sorrow anymore
    I've 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, sing, 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 no warning

    Gave me love
    Yes, you gave your love to me
    You gave me love
    But it's not enough for me

    Oh luxury
    Ain't that easy to find
    In this heart of mine

    I won't learn
    Oh luxury

    Oh yeah
    But all you give me is pain

    Again and again
    Luxury is sweet and so cool

    If I cry will you catch my fall
    Do you want things 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 no warning

    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, gave me no warning

    From Luxury To Heartache a été aussi abandonné en face b de GOD THANK U WOMAN en Angleterre et en face b de GUSTO BLUSTO aux Etats Unis!

  • 4eme et dernier ALBUM du groupe dans les années 80...

    1. Move Away 8. Too Bad
    2. I Pray 9. Come Clean
    3. Work On Me Baby 10. Sexuality
    4. Gusto Blusto 11. Move Away (Extended)
    5. Heaven's Children 12. God thank You Woman (Extended)
    6. God thank You Woman 13. Sexuality (Extended)
    7. Reasons

    L'album rencontra que tres peu de succès dû au manques de promo certains fait par la maison de disques virgin...
    En effet, celle ci se préocuppant beaucoup plus de l'état de santé de Boy George...
    George rencontrant de sérieux problemes de drogues depuis la jamaique...

    La seances de fotos pour la pochette dut un désastre.... Boy george est tres beau sur la pochette mais il faut savoir qu'il etait à ce moment là, malade comme chien....
    La seances fut prise séparément du groupe....

    Un 2eme single, après MOVE AWAY au succes certain, toutefois mitigé à l'international, fut GOD THANK U WOMAN...
    Le clip fut tourné à la vite, l'entourage craignant que George ne s'effondre d'un instant à l'autre...
    Boy george tourna le clip completement shooté à la coke que l'un de ses amis (Ginty) lui envoya dans un boitier de cassette...
    Pour ce clip, le réalisateur Steve Barron utilisa un procédé qui superposa le groupe entrain de jouer avec celles de Brigitte Bardot, Raquel Welch et d'autres stars...
    GOD THANK U WOMAN fut classé uniquement 31eme dans les charts anglais mais ne fut pas sortis dans l'exagonal... Un flop!!!!

    Un 3eme single sortis... GUSTO BLUSTO mais ne remporta aucun succes!
    Une sorte de clip est monté si besoin est, avec des images d'archives avec ecrit en gros sur l'écran "GUSTO BLUSTO..." lol!
    Ce single ne fut classé dans aucun charts... car le groupe ne fut pas capable d'en faire la promo car Boy george rentra dans un état maladif encore plus intense qu 'auparavant...

    Un 4eme single fut nommé : Heaven's Children (anciennement nommé inequality) mais fut tres vite abandonné sur les étageres des projets avortés car le groupe se sépare....
    Quelques maquettes furent tout de même envoyées à quelques radio mais AUCUNES n'en voulaient...

    Toutefois, FROM LUXURY TO HEARTACHE fut classe dans le top ten anglais et compta parmi les 5 meilleures ventes aux Etats Unis...
    Malgré cela, moins d'un million dans le monde furent vendus, soit plusieurs millions de moins que WAKING UP WITH TO THE HOUSE ON FIRE...

    Gusto Blusto
    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
    For someone to take it all from 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 have 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 do

    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
    United (I get tired of speaking)

    What if you're a lonely boy?
    What if you're 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 you're 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 I'm crying



    God Thank You Woman
    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

    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

    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
