2eme single de l'album waking up with the house on fire : THE MEDAL SONG 09-03-2006
Rien d'étonant que ce 3eme album WAKING UP WITH THE HOUSE ON FIRE, manque de puissance et d'homogénéité......
Malgrés l'énorme succes de THE WAR SONG, l'album ne décolle pas dans les charts ou tres peu...
Les ETAS UNIS commencent par bouder boy george, victime d'homophobie et de menaces de mort à DALLAS....
La maison de disque décida de sortir THE MEDAL SONG en guise de 2eme single pour sauver les chutes de l'album....
Mais celui ci ne reussira pas à décoller dans les charts et ce fut le 1er single FLOP de culture club... il resta uniquement n°32 en ANGLETERRE et par consequent aucunes sorties de ce single fut prévu dans le reste du monde....
Le clip retrace tant bien que mal un homage à l'actrice FRANCES FARMER.... mais en vain...
Sun go east, sun go west
Sun go east, sun go west
You used to say love and be loved all the time
'Til you discovered feelings were a failure sign
When it rains, it rains so hard
The tears begin to show
Now it's raining in my heart
I want the world to know
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
Life will never be the same as it was again
Beneath the sea of Hollywood where Frances 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
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
Life will never be the same as it was again
Sun go east, sun go west
Will I wear a medal again
Sun go east, sun go west
We can dance and bring on the rain
Now I say love for love, not 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
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
Life will never be the same as it was again
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, sun go west
We can dance and bring on the rain

The War Song
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 streets
Won't somebody help me?
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!
Man is far behind in the search of something new
Like a Philistine, we're burning witches too
This world of hate 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 streets
Won't somebody help me?
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! War! War!
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!
In this heart of mine, I'll find a place for you
For black or white, for grown-up children too
Now we're fighting in our hearts
Fighting in the streets
Won't somebody help me?
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
No more war
say no more war
say war
Senso hant-ai**
Senso hant-ai**
Say no more war

Do they know it's Christmas?
It's Christmastime,
there's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime,
we let in light and we banish shade
BOY GEORGE :
And in our world of plenty
we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
at Christmastime
But say a prayer,
pray for the other ones
At Christmastime it's hard,
but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window,
and it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing
is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them
instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life(Oooh)
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
Here's to you raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again

BOY GEORGE IN CONCERT BOY GEORGE EN CONCERT
"Up close & personal "
at Leicester Square Theatre
20,21,22,23,27,28,29,30 December 2009.
Boy George needs little introduction…he shot to international stardom in the 80’s as the front man of one of the UK’s biggest exports Culture Club and has remained one of the world’s most recognisable iconic figures…however George himself says…’I am sometimes recognised for all the wrong reasons’. In advance of his 2010 European Tour George will perform a set of exclusive intimate shows at Leicester Square Theatre…stripped down, acoustic, unplugged whatever cliché you want to call it this set of exclusive concerts lies bare George as an artist, singer, lyricist and musician – this is simply ‘The Man and his Music’… performing his biggest hits from Culture Club, his solo career, new writing and covers from his own music heroes. DON’T MISS ONE OF THE BEST SOUL VOICES AND MOST COLOURFUL PERSONALITIES BRITIAN AS EVER PRODUCED!
£35.00-£45.00
