Lyrics Culture Club - Fat Cat

Another song of woe
Woe sounds like this
You say nothing's changed, where were you when my world
Was spinning into masquerade
You claim it's just a question of mathematics
I shut the door on your amateur dramatics
Then you think too much
And you talk too much, vicariously
Yeah you think too much
And you talk too much
Every word is substance free
You're the dirt on my collar
You're the hole in my favourite shoe
You're the last dying breath of love
You're the weight that I need to lose
And you hurt yourself
You say I'm deranged, I'll admit to being strange
But I just can't stop loving you
If the light in your eyes
Addiction came as a surprise
Didn't think I'd be so into you
Then you think too much
And you talk too much, so carelessly
Yeah you think too much
And you talk too much
Every word is substance free
You're the dirt on my collar
You're the hole in my favourite shoe
You're the last dying breath of love
You're the weight that I need to lose
You're the dirt on my collar
You're the hole in my favourite shoe
You're the last, last dying breath of love
You're the weight that I need to lose
You're the dirt on my collar
You're the hole in my favourite shoe
You're the last dying breath of love
You're the weight that I need to lose

Lyrics Culture Club - Dangerous Man

Lyrics Culture Club - Dangerous Man

He could word it out like a dangerous man
How could you value his intentions?
Martin had the devil just like anyone can
He spoke words they were frightened to mention

[Chorus:]
Yesterday ain't gone
We just pushed it aside
Out in the jungle
There ain't nowhere you can hide
There's a different smile on your face today
Though you wear it well there's a lot to say
There's a different mood in the world tonight
If we can do it good we can do it right

John he washed it over with a confidence tan
I know peace and love ain't prevention
Brian in the closet with his master-plan
Build them up its so sad they forget you

[Chorus]

[Repeat: x2]
Are we not men, did you save us?
Are we not men, did you try, did you try?

We have been [Repeat: x3]
We have been denied

I could word it out like a dangerous man
If they landed here we'd collect them
Yellow, black or white here in the circus of man
I don't know, I don't care, I forget you

[Chorus]

Lyrics Culture Club - Next 2 You (Demo)

Lyrics Culture Club - Next 2 You (Demo)

It doesn't matter if I say you're right even when you're wrong
Or paint you as a hero or the chicks in every song
I roll my eyes to heaven, I recognize your flaws
But after all is said and done, I just want you more

Some people say I must be blind
But I'll have you over them any time

Oh, I wanna get next 2 you
Oh, I wanna get next 2 you
I wanna get next 2 you

While searching for perfection, I fell foul of your charms
Ti caro mi amigo, I want to leave, I can't
These shoes are getting heavy, this cross is hard to bear
At least a life of misery is something we can share

Some people say I must be blind
But I'll have you over them any time

Oh, I wanna get next 2 you
Oh, I wanna get next 2 you
Oh, I wanna get next 2 you, yes, I do
Oh, I wanna get next 2 you
I wanna get next 2 you

Some people say I must be blind
But I'll have you over them any time

Oh, I wanna get next 2 you
Oh, I wanna get next 2 you
Oh, I wanna get next 2 you, yes, I do

Lyrics Culture Club - Take Control

Lyrics Culture Club - Take Control

No defeat
Your dance is sweet
'Cause you ripped it from my soul
I'll kiss you
And we will throw a view
It's the only way to take control

Boy I'm sweet
When you've got me beat
I can't turn it
I feel cold
It's for you, that my love is true
Got to blind a boy
To take control

[Chorus:]
Take control (Take it)
Take control (Take it)
Take control (Take it)
Take control

I was there
But you didn't care
And I know
You're using me
(If it's true get the best of you)

[Chorus]

Take control (God would let this thing go)[Repeat: x3]

[Chorus]

Take control (God would let this thing go)[Repeat: x3]

No defeat
Your dance is sweet
'Cause you ripped it from my soul
I'll kiss you
And we will throw a view
It's the only way to take control.

Lyrics Culture Club - How D'ya Keep Your Credibility?

Lyrics Culture Club - How D'ya Keep Your Credibility?

Hey, this song is for Marilyn and every drag queen
Oh brother, it's not like the past
We're wearing stilettos and talking too fast
Passing the mirror hung up in pose
The boys they were fairest in immaculate clothes
Lunch with Janet Street Porter and Marilyn's nose
But this life is a baby, so sad when it grows
Into you and me, ah, what the hell we're gonna be?
Where will we go and what will we be?
If we can't communicate intelligently
There's a price on my head but I've never been free
I said, "'How d'ya keep your credibility?"
No more crying, no more trying
Please, no more dying
I just wanna be free
I'm taking the trouble right to your door
Why'd you do it, you bastard? Don't love you no more
Sinners beside me, saints on the right
And if you slow down, you'll be a turkey tonight
c'mon let's go a little further, don't be uptight
If you feel insecure, well, just turn off the light
Where will we go and what will we be?
If we can't communicate intelligently
There's a price on my head but I've never been free
I said, "'How d'ya keep your credibility?"
I said, "'How d'ya keep your credibility?"

Lyrics Culture Club - Cold Shoulder

Lyrics Culture Club - Cold Shoulder

Watching the stars on Primrose Hill
The moon is high and the city is still
I came here to escape the chill
Of your cold shoulder

Evil sometimes the things you say
If you really wish I would just go away
Then why do you cry
Like a little child

All your world that's what you say I am
I'm working so hard to be a better man
You know I'll never ever lie, never play those games with my mind
You'll be the loser, you might find

Questions lead to answers in time
While you're so cold, so cold inside
Remember that fight in Amsterdam
When I made you cry 'cause I know I can?

You could not escape the chill
Of my cold, cold shoulder
All your world that's what you say I am
I'm working so hard to be a better man

You know I'll never ever lie, never play those games with my mind
You'll be the loser, you might find
Questions lead to answers in time
While you're so cold

I know you're hurting inside
Want someone to pay for the tears you cry
Ain't gonna be me, not this time
Never lie, never play those games with my mind

You'll be the loser, you might find
Questions lead to answers in time
While you're so cold, so cold inside
Never play those games with my mind

You'll be the loser, you might find
Questions lead to answers in time
While you're so cold, so cold inside
I know you're hurting

I'm hurting too
But I don't want to hurt you
'Cause I love you
But my head says 'not this time'

Lyrics Culture Club - Stormkeeper

Lyrics Culture Club - Stormkeeper

Ooh I have love sweeter than lies
Gave you no reason not to decide
Say you are leaving, you've got too much pride
It's not love if you have it to hide it

Oh woe who is the man
Who puts waves on the sand
It's the stormkeeper, stormkeeper
Liven my life
When I need to survive
Is the storm keeping you warm
Keeping you warm

Oh I have cried so many times
But only for things that never were mine
Heaven is sweet, love is unkind
Thoughts are twisted inside of your mind

Don't let them tell you
That this love is wrong
And don't let them fool you
That this love can't go on

Lyrics Culture Club - You Know I'm Not Crazy

Lyrics Culture Club - You Know I'm Not Crazy

Say your mind has an overload
Your heart beats rhythm
Hot and cold
Your stature has a naked bucks
When you're near
You're not like us

[Chorus:]
You know I'm not crazy
You know I'm not crazy

I caught on to the way you smile
Love could only last a while
I couldn't love
I couldn't touch
The situation
Was too much

[Chorus]

Your love fails me
Your love, it fails me
Your love fails me
Your love, it drives me crazy

Don't tell me that lovers always mistrust
The lies in your eyes
The death in your lust
It's more than distraction
You touch you feel
Our hearts dance apart
And you say this is real
You know I'm not crazy

Talk about the love we feel
The passion that our hearts conceal
Kiss and run
The fools we trust
Love inside a blinding lust

[Chorus]

Hold me to my every word
Forget about the things you heard
Time will conquer
Time will state
We owe every tear to fate

[Chorus]

Your love fails me
Your love, it fails me
Your love fails me
Your love, it drives me crazy

Lyrics Culture Club - Less Than Perfect

Lyrics Culture Club - Less Than Perfect

I know a song ain't good enough to let you know how I feel
I'll sing it hard, I'll sing it sweet, to let you know that it's real
If I change my attitude, maybe I can conquer you completely
All the things I say and do, everything I learn from you defeats me

And I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down

I know it's wrong to blame the past for everything that I do
I fool the world most of the time but there's no fooling you
If I change my attitude, maybe I can conquer you completely
Everything I say and do, all I learn from you defeat me

And I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
Let you down

What you see ain't always what you get
No matter how clear it seems
One minute lovers, then the next

Oh oh no
Oh no

I let you down, yeah yeah
I let you down [Repeat: x5]
Let you down
Let you down

Lyrics Culture Club - The Dive

Lyrics Culture Club - The Dive

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
You imagery
I'm trying

Baby I'm no superman

[Chorus:]
Eyes like a deep blue sea
To dive in
Love that you give to me
We're surviving
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

[Chorus]

Eyes that open wide
Do you do
Love you give the child
Do you do
Why do you do that to me?

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

I'm no superman

[Chorus]

Lyrics Culture Club - Sign Language

Lyrics Culture Club - Sign Language

I'm not hungry, I eat
When I'm tired, I can't sleep
When I'm nervous, I speak
It seems the only thing to do
In the morning, I rise
Wipe the dream from my eyes
Contemplate your demise
There's just no getting through

Always dream, don't apologize
Life is sweet, never close your eyes
The truth it seems, must have passed you by
At least a million times

Gimme a sign, gimme a reason to be here
I'm leading the blind, when will you make your motives clear
Gimme a sign (gimme gimme, gimme a sign)
After all this time why can't we get it right

So you made me, a 'creep' (ow)
I'm not losing any sleep (ow)
Cause my scars are much too deep (ow)
Don't start getting precious on me (yeah)

In the morning, I rise
While your life is, paralyzed
In the sweet smell of disguise
There's just no getting through to you

Always dream, don't apologize
Life is sweet, never close your eyes
The truth it seems must have passed you by
At least a million times

Gimme a sign, gimme a reason to be here
I'm out of my mind, so shallow and always insincere
Gimme a sign (gimme gimme, gimme a sign)
After all this time why can't we get it right

Hey!

(gimme gimme gimme a sign)
Gimme gimme gimme yeah!
(gimme gimme gimme a sign)
Gimme gimme gimme yeah, yeah, yeah
(gimme gimme gimme a sign)
After all this time why can't we get it right

Another drive by love affair
Why don't you tell someone who cares
If you care

Gimme a sign, gimme a reason to be here
I'm out of my mind, when will you make your motives clear
Gimme a sign (gimme gimme gimme a sign)
After all this time why can't we get it right

(gimme a sign)
(gimme gimme gimme a sign)
Gimme gimme yeah yeah
(I'm out of my mind, gimme gimme gimme a sign)
Gimme gimme gimme yeah
(gimme a sign)
(gimme gimme gimme a sign)

After all this love why can't we get it right
Let's get it right

Lyrics Culture Club - Don't Go Down That Street

Lyrics Culture Club - 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 broken down all the telephones

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
'cause I'm chicken feed when they're on their own
Don't get in that car
Things might go too far
(line in japanese)

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

(japanese talkover by miko)

(ooh, ooh, aaah, aah)

Lyrics Culture Club - Love Hurts

Lyrics Culture Club - Love Hurts

Not everybody knows which way the river flows
Not everybody sees the sun up in the sky
Maybe you and I should not try to plan our lives
If only what we could see what we hold in our hands

Love hurts 'cause you can't let it go
Love hurts 'cause you need it so
Love hurts yes it hurts, but it's good for fools
Love hurts every night and day
Love feelings never go away
Real love, it is here to stay with you
Yes it's true

Everybody cries until the day they die
And everybody feels like they're the only one
Maybe you and I should not try to plan our lives
If only we could see what's in front of our eyes, yeah

Love hurts 'cause you can't let it go
Love hurts 'cause you need it so
Love hurts yes it hurts, ooh yeah
Love hurts every night and day
Love feelings never go away
Real love, it is here to stay with you
Yes it's true

Maybe you and I should not try to plan our lives
If only we could see what's in front of our eyes

Love hurts 'cause you can't let it go
Love hurts 'cause you need it so
Love hurts yes it hurts, but it's good for fools
Love hurts every night and day
Love feelings never go away
Real love, it is here to stay with you
Yes it's true

I guess it's useless to say, love hurts
Why won't this pain go away, love hurts
Love hurts

Love hurts 'cause you can't let it go
Love hurts 'cause you need it so
Love hurts yes it hurts, ooh yeah
Love hurts every night and day
Love feelings never go away
Real love, it is here to stay with you

Lyrics Culture Club - Black Comedy

Lyrics Culture Club - Black Comedy

Sweet cunning eyes try to take from me
You're too young, I'm too wise, this is parody
A taste of what you like can be fatal sometimes
Arms that hold you tight but leave you cold, so cold

The stars in the sky are out of reach tonight
Tears fall like rain, wrong again, words won't make me right
'Cause I knew from the start you were wrong for me
Call it fate if you like or black comedy

Love, maybe lust, made me sweet sixteen
So my soul lost control, nothing in between
A taste of what you want can be brutal sometimes
Arms that hold you tight but leave you cold, so cold

The stars in the sky are out of reach tonight
Tears fall like rain, wrong again, words won't make me right
'Cause I knew from the start you were wrong for me
Call it fate if you like or black comedy

The stars in the sky are out of reach tonight
Tears fall like rain, wrong again, words won't make me right
'Cause I knew from the start you were wrong for me
Call it fate if you like or black comedy

The stars in the sky are out of reach tonight
Tears fall like rain, wrong again, words won't make me right
'Cause I knew from the start you were wrong for me
Call it fate if you like or black comedy

The stars in the sky are out of reach tonight
Tears fall like rain, wrong again, words won't make me right
'Cause I knew from the start you were wrong for me
Call it fate if you like or black comedy

Lyrics Culture Club - Boy Boy (I'm The Boy)

Lyrics Culture Club - Boy Boy (I'm The Boy)

Words that pull the trigger
Fear the laughing sound
Haunts you
To consider
Love might turn you around
To face a blind emotion
Words like 'hey let's try'
Words like 'thinking it over'
They just don't apply

[Chorus:]
I'm the boy (you made me)
I'm the boy
I'm the boy
I'm the boy (you made me)
I'm the boy
I'm the boy

Love is...
What you make it
Love the overflow
Play if you can take it some...
They just don't know
If all the rules they're making
Break somebody's heart
What's the use in taking
Baby's fall apart

[Chorus]

You made me realize
That love is just a word
That goes unheard in a situation
Where love is nothing
And you...
Are all I can see

This boy's in love with you
You're everything
I can see
This boy's in love with you
You have taken it all
Away from me

Lyrics Culture Club - Don't Cry

Lyrics Culture Club - Don't Cry

You say that you're misunderstood
But you like it that way
Then you say you're lonely
Well that's the price you pay
And I don't think I love you
That's the cruelest game we play
But I love you that way
You're a perfect lover
Why don't you stay?
You're a perfect lover
Ain't it always that way
You feel a little twisted
You feel a little pain
You're a little hateful
Don't worry, you'll feel that way again
Cry, don't
Cry don't cry for me
You say that you're not beautiful
But you are in my eyes
You say my love's too heavy
Well that comes as no surprise
It's already over
There's nothing to say
It's already over
But you need to love to show you your way

Lyrics Culture Club - Confidence Trick

Lyrics Culture Club - Confidence Trick

Never meant to hurt you, I don't know why
You come with your lawyers and your alibi
How can you look me straight in the eye
When you know

The clock on the wall is singing our song
The love in my heart is all dead and gone
You know why
You know why

There you go with your confidence trick
I'm much too wise, you don't fool me a bit
Feeling so low and looking so high
We both know that your truth is a lie

I never really knew you all these years
You lied to my face while I undressed your fears
Then you set me a-sail on an ocean of tears
Said goodbye

The clock on the wall is ticking real slow
There's nothing to say and there's nowhere to go
You know why
You know why

There, there you go with your confidence trick
I'm much too wise, you don't fool me a bit, no no
Feeling so low and looking so high
We both know that your truth is a lie

It's a lie

Looking up to the truth of what you are
Blinding all colours and beauty
And the sparkle in your eye is blinding

The clock on the wall is singing our song
The love in my heart is all dead and gone
You know why
You know why
Why, why, why, why, why, why

There, there you go with your confidence trick
I'm much too wise, you don't fool me a bit
Feeling so low and looking so high
We both know that your truth is a lie
It's a lie, lie

[Repeats]
(The truth is, the truth is a lie)

And you never stopped loving me
Choking back tears for you
So lovable
And we never go
And we never know
See I'm over
But I'm under
I don't ever wanna come down
I don't ever wanna come down
I don't ever wanna come down
To where you are
