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 Chorus 1: In time it could’ve been so much more The time is precious I know In time it could have been so much more The time has nothing to show Chorus 2: Because time won’t give me time And time makes lovers feel Like they’ve got something real But you and me we know They’ve 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 (chorus 1) (chorus 2) |

War war is stupid And people are stupid And love means nothing In some strange quarters War war is stupid And people are stupid 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 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 street Won't somebody help me? (* repeat chorus) Man is far behind In the search for something new Like as 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 street Won't somebody help me? (*chorus) 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! (*repeat) |

You used to say
Love and be loved All the time Till you discovered Fellings were a failure sign When it rains It rains so hard The tears begin to show When it's raining in my heart I want the world to know Chorus: 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 Beneath the sea of Hollywood Where Francis 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 (chorus) 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, son 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 (chorus) Sun go east, sun go west Will I wear a medal again Sun go east, son go west We can dance and bring on the rain |

Like Alice in Wonderland
The dream takes you by the hand Inside emotions that you might not feel If by some notion the dream was not real The dream, the dream, the dream Watching the colours as they run Figures emote like the sun Lovers can dream, devils can dream You may be nowhere until you have seen The dream, the dream, the dream, Oh what have I done? Close my eyes and I dreamed of some one It could be magic, it could be tragic Please, Hee The dream, the dream, the dream whoa |

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 That weren't 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 Cause 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 the light If we can sparkle he may land tonight Don't tell your papa 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 Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me - Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie 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 Cause 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, la, la, la-la (repeat until end) Culture Club faithfully covered this David Bowie hit (it reached No.10 in the UK and No.65 in the US in July 1972) on their '98 Re-wind Tour so well that it has become a fixture at Culture Club concerts, got a joint A-Side single with Cold Shoulder and also features on the new album, Don't Mind If I Do. |

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 cannot let go Without a reason in my heart How could you know? (I know) When they find you crying sorrows 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 gotta reason Believe it in your heart and it will show |

Ooh mystery boy
Ooh mystery boy 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 Mystery boy |
