About Miss Me Blind

"Miss Me Blind" is a song by English new wave band Culture Club. Known for an electrifying guitar solo from Roy Hay in the middle of the song, it was the third single released from Colour by Numbers in the US, peaking at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in spring 1984. This gave the band its sixth consecutive top 10 hit, as well as its final top 10 hit there to date. The single was also released in Canada (where it also reached number 5), Brazil, Australia and Japan. It was also the band's biggest R&B hit, reaching number 5 on Billboard's 'Soul' chart. The song includes a reference to the title of Culture Club's previous album. Lead singer Boy George states in the song "But you know, I'm never really sure, If you're just kissing to be clever", the name of Culture Club's debut album. In most countries (like Japan, Canada and US), its B-side was the ballad "Colour by Numbers". In Mexico, the B-side was "Victims". In Brazil, the B-side was "Boy Boy (I'm The Boy)". A very popular 12-inch was issued, gaining big success in American clubs and elsewhere. The popular extended 12-inch version contained extracts of the other Culture Club hit of the spring, "It's a Miracle". In the US, the "Miss Me Blind" / "It's a Miracle" 12" single reached #10 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in May 1984. The official music video features Boy George and the rest of the Culture Club members in a Japanese setting, and ends with a woman dressed as a geisha and a man dressed as a karateka trying to extinguish a fire using guitars. The music video was directed by Steve Barron.

Miss me
I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me blind

I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me blind

I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me blind

Bet you got a good gun
Bet you know how
To have some fun and then
You turn it around on me 
Because I'm better than the rest of the men

I say you'll miss me
And you always do
I say you'll miss me
Now would I lie to you

Now there's no need to demand
Grab my golden hand
I'll teach you and you'll never be sure
If the way that you need 
Is too much like greed
Decide if you are rich or you're poor

I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me blind

I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me blind

Bet you make the fool run
Bet you know how
To make it last forever
But you know
I'm never really sure
If you're just kissing to be clever

I say you'll miss me
And you always do
I say you'll miss me
Now would I lie to you

Now there's no need to demand
Grab my golden hand
I'll teach you and you'll never be sure
If the way that you need 
Is too much like greed
Decide if you are rich or you're poor

Because the love
That I have to give
Must be better than that kind
It can make you rich
It can make you poor
But I know that you'll miss me blind

I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me blind 

I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me blind 

I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me blind 

I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me blind 

I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me blind 

I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me blind 

I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me blind 

I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me
I know you'll miss me blind
