Let It Be
(Ferry Aid - 1987)
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be

And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

And when the broken-hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer
Let it be

Although they maybe parted
There's still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer
Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be

And when the night is cloudy
There's still a light that shines on me
Shines until tomorrow
Let it be

I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be

I'm A Believer
Read it in the news one day
Wrapped between the war times and the weather
Someone found a better way
Guaranteed to make us live together

He said
Don't make love a secret
Got the feeling but where do we go from here
You got pass it on don't keep it
Well if you need one volunteer

I'm a believer
I'm a believer of what I'm dreaming of
I'm a believer
I'm a believer in this thing called love

Turning on my radio
Thinking I would find my favourite station
I flipped but little did I know
I would hear a different conversation

They said
We should help each other
I kept listening to hear if I heard right
No matter what your feeling or colour
Tell the whole world day and night

I'm a believer
I'm a believer of what I'm dreaming of
I'm a believer
I'm a believer in this thing called love

I'm a believer
I'm a believer of what I'm dreaming of
I'm a believer
I'm a believer in this thing called love

If I live to see the day
We'd all come together
Then it's meant to be that way
Forever and ever on

A thing called love
A thing called love
I'm a believer
I'm a believer
I'm a believer

I'm a believer
What you say
I'm a believer of what I'm dreaming of
I'm a believer
One more time
I'm a believer in this thing called love

I'm a believer
Everybody sing
I'm a believer of what I'm dreaming of
I'm a believer
This thing called love
I'm a believer in this thing called love

I'm a believer
I'm dreaming of
I'm dreaming of
I'm a believer of what I'm dreaming of
I'm a believer
I'm a believer in this thing called love

If I Can't Have You
Don't know why I'm surviving every lonely day
When there's got to be no chance for me
My life would end, and it doesn't matter how I cry
My tears of love are a waste of time if I turn away

Am I strong enought to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do

If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby

Can't let go, and it doesn't matter how I try
I gave it all so easily to you my love

Two dreams that never will come true
Am I strong enough to see it through
Go crazy is what I will do

If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby


Tell Me Why
Heading out to nowhere (late at night)
Melodies inside my head (spinning round and round)
City lies behind me (fast asleep)
The sweetest dreams escape me (they were so hard to keep)

Get me feeling so alive
I just can't keep it all inside
I'm winding up to something good
But I can't stop even though I know I should

Tell me why, tell me why

I won't change my style (no, not for anyone)
Just sit down and leave it for a while (until the damage is done)

Got me feeling so alive
I just can't keep it all inside
I'm winding up to something good
But I can't stop even though I know I should

Tell me why, tell me why

I could be anything that I wanted to be
I believe if I see what I wanted to see
And I know, yes, I know you told me that night

I was shown to the path that would lead to your heart
and to veer from that road it would tear us apart
And I know, yes I know, you told me so that night

Tell me why, tell me why

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

LES FACES B RARES DES SINGLES..... 11-03-2006

love is cold

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

Mystery boy

Mystery Boy est sorti en single au Japon. Mais, Mystery Boy figura en B-side de Church Of The Poison Mind et de I'll Tumble 4 Ya aux Etats unis




Man Shake
Man shake
Man shake
Man shake
Man shake

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
Man shake
Man shake
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

Man shake
Man shake
Man shake
Man shake

[f=#00ff00]Man Shake est la face b ANGLAISE de Church Of The Poison Mind et la B-Side Americaine de US I'll Tumble 4 Ya.



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

Socchi e ikuna
Socchi e ikuna
Socchi e ikuna

(Japanese talkover by Miko)
Yoru hitori de aruicha ikemasen.
Otousan, okasan ga shinpai shite imasuyo.
Mongen wo kichin to mamonnasai.
Ookami no ejiki ni naru noga ochi desu.
Disco ni iku nowa yamenasai.
Kimi wa mada hitori-aruki suru niwa wakasugimasu
Soto niwa ookami ga ippai desu.
Akazukin-chan, ki wo tsukete!

(English translation)
You must not go out alone at night.
Your father and mother are worried about you.
Observe the curfew,
Or you will be just a victim of the wolves.
Don't go to the disco.
You're too young to go out alone.
There are a lot of wolves outside.
Akazuki-chan (Red Riding Hood), be careful!

Socchi e ikuna, Socchi e ikuna
Sono kuruma ni noruna
Socchi e ikuna, Socchi e ikuna
Sono kuruma ni noruna
Chinmpira ga urouro
Kimi wa buji de kaerenai
Dame Dame abunai yo

(English translation)
Don't go there, Don't go there
Don't get on the car
Don't go there, Don't go there
Don't get on the car
Gangs are wandering
You cannot come back safe and sound
No, No, it's dangerous

Don't Go Down That Street est sorti en single au japon et est devenu la face b de THE MEDAL SONG en Angleterre et MISTAKE N°3 aux Etats Unis!

En FRANCE, Il apparait en face b de LOVE IS LOVE!




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!
