Boy George

Boy George (born George Alan O'Dowd on 14 June 1961) is an English singer-songwriter, who was part of the English New Romanticism movement which emerged in the early 1980s. His music is often classified as blue-eyed soul, which is influenced by rhythm and blues and reggae. His 1990s and 2000s-era solo music has glam influences such as David Bowie and Iggy Pop. During the 1980s, Boy George was the lead singer of the Grammy and Brit Award winning pop band Culture Club. He also founded and was lead singer of Jesus Loves You during the period 1989–1992. Being involved in many activities (among them songwriting, DJing, writing books, designing clothes and photography), he has released fewer music recordings in the last decade. more »

Stone by the river, got no wind in my sail,
No revolutions in my soul.
Hey, revelation's just a moment away.
Soon I'm gonna be old, soon you're gonna be old.
Remember, love is not something you can keep;
It just takes the wind to blow it away.
You look so ugly as you lie there asleep.
Boy, you're pretty today, so pretty today.

When I was born they poisoned my mind.
They told me to fight but I'm not that kind.
They said I was meek but I did not mind.
It's a case of the weak leading the blind.

I see the stars have spelt your name in the sky.
I wrote it too down, here, in the sand.
When I first met you, you stirred nothing at all.
See the cards in your hand, see the cards in your hand.

And, oh, if I could fly.
I said, oh, if I could fly.
Don't you know that if I could fly,
I'd take to the sky?

I feel so special when I'm making you cry.
But I regret the things I throw in your face, I do.
This drug will kill you darling, this is no lie.
This dragon we chase, this dragon we chase.

When I was born they poisoned my mind.
They told me to fight but I'm not that kind.
They said I was meek but I did not mind.
It's a case of the weak fooling the blind.

And, oh, if I could fly.
I said, oh, if I could fly.
Don't you know that if I could fly,
I'd take to the sky?

And, oh, if I could fly.
I said, oh, if I could fly.
Don't you know that if I could fly,
I'd take to the sky?  Yes I would.
