1. _ 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

2. _ 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

3. _ Mirror
(trying to get the message through)
You took the sun from the sky, give it back
You know i wouldn't take a bullet for you
You bring me down 'cause of all that you lack
You're underhanded and you're sly with it too
In a moment of desperation
We forgive and we compromise
Reaching out for that one sensation - life
No time for wasting my time
I'm just trying to get the message through
You hold up a mirror to me
You know that all you'll ever see is you
All you'll ever see is you
You know you won't change the world from your back
But still you lie there like a vacant fool
What happens when all your credit runs out
And i have to be kind to be cruel
In a moment of desperation
We forgive and we close our eyes
Reaching out for that perfect love to survive hey, yeah, yeah
No time for wasting my time
I'm just trying to get the message through (trying to get the message through)
You hold up a mirror to me
You know that all you'll ever see is you
All you'll ever see is you
You just don't get it
Do ya?
(i'm trying, trying to get the message)
(i'm trying, trying to get the message)
(i'm trying, trying to get the message) baby, baby, baby
(i'm trying, trying to get the message)
In a moment of desperation
We forgive and we close our eyes
Reaching out for that one sensation to survive, hey yeah
No time for wasting my time
I'm just trying to get the message through (trying to get the message through)
You hold up a mirror to me
You know that all you'll ever see is you (ooh-ooh)
All you'll ever see is you
(i'm trying, trying to get the message)
(i'm trying, trying to get the message)
(i'm trying, trying to get the message)
(i'm trying, trying to get the message)
(i'm trying, trying to get the message)
(i'm trying, trying to get the message)
(i'm trying, trying to get the message)
(trying to get the message through)

4. _ The Dream
Like alice in wonderland
The dream takes you by the hand
Inside emotions that you might not feel
If by some notion the dream was not real
The dream, the dream, the dream
Watching the colours as they run
Figures you mould like the sun
Lovers can dream, devils can dream
You may be nowhere until you have seen
The dream, the dream, the dream whoa
Oh what have i done?
Close my eyes and i dream of some world
It could be magic, it could be tragic
Hee, dream
The dream, the dream, the dream whoa

5. _ Starman
Didn't know what time it was and the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll 'lotta soul, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no dj, that was hazy cosmic jive
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me -
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
I had to phone someone so i picked on you
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too!
Switch on the tv we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window i can see the light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in fright
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me -
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
Starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me -
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la-la (repeat until end)
Culture club faithfully covered this david bowie hit (it reached no.10 in the uk and no.65 in the us in july 1972) on their '98 re-wind tour so well that it has become a fixture at culture club concerts, got a joint a-side single with cold shoulder and also features on the new album, don't mind if i do.

6. _ 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

7. _ I Pray
When you hear them talking
Saying things that you don't understand
Just keep on walking
And tell 'em you don't give a damn!
Don't call me brother, i ain't your brother
We need more than crime prevention
We need more than ecstasy
We'll be needing police protection
Better keep your hands off me
And i pray, i pray
I've been on my knees all day
And i pray, i pray
I hear every word you say
Take a look at that cat
It's a game they play with people
Kiss and count the enemy
I don't cry when i feel the tension
I have state security
This ain't a revolution
That's just people talking
Ain't a revolution
Say, say it again
If i never get caught
I'll be here all night
Doing things i know ain't right
Fifty seven dreams ago
That's the problem if you're slow
I ain't your brother

8. _ See Thru
No apology necessary shut your mouth
You've closed your mind
We've been walking this road forever
It don't lead to paradise
In the mirror your sad reflection haunting you
Now i see mine
Yes i see mine
And you just don't get it
But you just might regret it, you might regret it
Shooting the rainbows from the sky
Throwing your love to passers by
Begging forgiveness for your crime
Never prepared to do your time
It's always them and never you
'cause you're so see thru, i see thru you
('cause you're so see thru)
Ain't no use in demanding justice
You're a victim of your sight
I held you up when your heart was heavy
Now you never give me mine
In the mirror my sad reflection haunting me
One more time, one more time
And you just don't get it, do ya?
But you just might regret it, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Shooting the rainbows from the sky
Throwing your love to passers by
Begging forgiveness for your crime
Never prepared to do your time
It's always them and never you
'cause you're so see thru, i see thru you
('cause you're so see thru)
Shooting the rainbows from the sky
Throwing your love to passers by
Begging forgiveness for your crime
Never prepared to do your time
It's always them and never you
Boy you're so see thru, i see thru you
('cause you're so see thru)
You just don't get it, no you just don't get it
You just don't get it but you might regret it
You might regret it
Shooting the rainbows from the sky
Throwing your love to passers by
Begging forgiveness for your crime
Never prepared to do your time
It's always them and never you
'cause you're so see thru, i see thru you
('cause you're so see thru)
Shooting the rainbows from the sky - you're so see thru
Throwing your love to passers by
Begging forgiveness for your crime - throwing your love to passers by, you're so see thru
Never prepared to do your time
It's always them and never you - never prepared to do your time, you're so see thru
'cause you're so see thru, you're so see thru, yeah yeah
Shooting the rainbows from the sky
Throwing your love to passers by
Begging forgiveness for your crime
Never prepared to do your time
It's always them and never you
'cause you're so see thru, 'cause you're so see thru

9. _ Maybe I'm A Fool
(rap intro by derick johnson)
Dangerous lover
With the blue-green eyes
Slides into the room
He's got trouble on his mind
Maybe you're misunderstood
So come and lie here by my side
'cause your love it hurts so good
Every time, every time
Maybe i'm a fool for loving you
Maybe i'm a fool
Maybe i'm a fool for wanting you
Maybe i'm a fool
But love's so hard to find
I keep searching every time
Foolish words spoken
Forgotten in the night
When the sun meets the ocean
I wanna be here by your side
Let me give you all those things
That money just can't buy
'cause your love it hurts so good
Don't ask me why, don't ask me why
Maybe i'm a fool for loving you
Maybe i'm a fool
Maybe i'm a fool for wanting you
Maybe i'm a fool
Maybe i'm a fool, but i love you baby, baby...
(rap by derick johnson)
(i keep searching everytime)
Maybe i'm a fool
Maybe i'm a fool
Baby you're misunderstood
So come and lie here by my side
Cause your love it hurts so good
Don't ask me why, just don't ask me why
Maybe i'm a fool for loving you
Maybe i'm a fool, i'm a fool, i'm a fool, yeah
Maybe i'm a fool for wanting you
Maybe i'm a fool, i'm a fool for your loving
Right now
Love's so hard to find
I keep searching every time
All the time, all the time
Cause i can't live without you
Can't live without you
Maybe maybe baby i'm a fool for your loving (repeat until end)

10. _ 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 wanna hurt you
'cause i love you
But my head says 'not this time'

11. _ Strange Voodoo
How can i love you boy when you don't even love yourself?
I'm useless now as i have always been
Just like some worthless love song dying on the radio
We talk in circles 'til we don't know what we mean
No happy ever after, no big dark man
Ain't no perfect situation, can't you understand
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you is some strange voodoo
How can i help you boy when i can barely help myself?
I'm useless now as i have always been
Your lying eyes, your thieving hands, you're such a rogue at times
But you will always be a part of me
No happy ever after, no big dark man
Ain't no perfect situation, ain't no master plan
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you i keep loving you yes i do
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you is some strange voodoo
No happy ever after, no big dark man, no
Ain't no perfect situation, can't you understand
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you i keep loving you yes i do
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you
Loving you
Loving you

12. _ What Do You Want
Right there it is!
Pretty faces perfect hair make 'i see you' when
You float into my vision once again, yeah
Promises are in your eyes, never to return
Inside your love i'm bound to burn
Now you don't understand the rivers and the seas are turning
Now it's out of my hands and i won't be a fool for learning
What do you want from me
I give you everything you need
Twisted security
I give you everything you need
What do you want
Pretty faces break your heart words that turn to dust
I need to love and you i trust
Waiting for the wheel to turn shall i waste my life
A key to hold to paradise
Now you don't understand the rivers and the seas are turning
Now it's out of my hands and i won't be a fool for learning
What do you want from me
I give you everything you need
Twisted security
I give you everything you need
What do you want from me
I give you everything you need
Twisted security
I give you everything you need
Love a we, a love a we, love a we, i love ya
Love a we, a love a we, love a we, i need ya
Now you don't understand the rivers and the seas are turning
Now it's out of my hands but i won't be a fool for learning
What do you want from me
I give you everything you need
Twisted security
I give you everything you need
What do you want from me
I give you everything you need
Twisted security
I give you everything you need

13. _ 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

14. _ Weep For The Child
Hey you, do you ever cry - for the child?
Falling in love with strangers, feeling incomplete, hey that's me
Some are fly, some are shy, some are acting like they own the street, ooh
One minute we're together then the next you're acting really cool, so cool
You can play me any way but don't ever treat me like a fool, no no no
Sometimes so hateful
Sometimes so shy
Don't ask me why
Weep for the child
Better raise your hand
We're twisting the style
Ain't no need to understand
Don't leave me alone to make it tonight
No don't go
Wearing your desperation wrapped me on your sleeve, yes you do
You've got everything you want but you just can't get the things that you need, oh no no no
Sometimes you fake it
Sometimes you lie
Don't ask me why
Weep for the child
Better raise your hand, raise your hand
We're twisting the style
Ain't no need to understand
Don't leave me alone to make it tonight, no no no
Sweet baby
You never understood
You never treat me right
Weep for the child
Better raise your hand, raise your hand
We're twisting the style
Ain't no need to understand, do you understand?
Don't leave me alone to make it tonight, yeah
Weep for the child
Weep
Weep
Weep
In your heart
Weep for the child
Better raise your hand, raise your hand
We're twisting the style
Ain't no need to understand, no need
Don't leave me alone to make it
Alone to make it
Alone to make it tonight

15. _ 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
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
I let you down
Let you down
Let you down

16. _ 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
(the truth is, the truth is a lie)
(repeats in background)
And you never stopped loving me
Choaking 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

17. _ White Boys Can't Control It
When you're a white boy
Life gets you high
You hold out thinking
That you know why
You hold out
With the law of men
And when you die
You're born again
Put down your gun
And find your heart
We're dying soldiers
We don't dance for the devil
When you're a white boy
Your life is lust
You kiss and run
And you mistrust
You hold out
With the nowhere men
You dance your dance
And try again
Put down your gun
And find your heart
We're dying soldiers
In the dark (we are no rebels)
You know white boys (can't control it)
You know white boys (never hold it)
You know white boys (hard to swallow)
You know white boys always follow
(follow who)
Put down your gun
And find your heart
We're dying soldiers
We don't dance for the devil

Don't go down that street

19. _ Your Kisses Are Charity
Last night you breathed the deepest sigh
Turned away with those cold cool eyes
You said won't you give me space to breathe
And my tears gave you confidence to leave
Now you say i'm just to much for you
There are things you'll never know
If you lie and cheat so easily
You'd better go, go go go, yeah
All i know is how i feel
And my heart was always yours to steal
But you take and never give to me
Your kisses are charity
Your kisses are charity, yeah
Yesterday you were my brightest star
But even when you're near i don't know where you are
I was wrong to show my weaker side
Now it's much too late to cry cry cry
I was blind to put my trust in you
If you leave me i'll fall apart
Did you plan to make a fool out of me
From the start, yeah yeah yeah, yeah
All i know is how i feel
And my heart was always yours to steal
But you take and never give to me
Your kisses are charity
Your kisses are charity, yeah, yeah
Now you say i'm too much for you
There are things you'll never know
If you lie and cheat so easily
You'd better go, go go go, yeah
All i know is how i feel
And my heart was always yours to steal
But you take and never give to me
Your kisses are charity
Your kisses are charity, yeah, yeah

20. _ Truth Behind Her Smile
Just see how she makes them love her
Twisting the world around her finger
Sensing weakness in a stranger
With one kiss she'll re-arrange ya
But i know the truth behind her smile
Keep me warm tonight, never satisfy
If you meet again she may pass you by
No apologies, never compromise
It's the truth behind her smile
Just see how she makes them want her
Oh, if i could be her for one day
Sensing weakness in a stranger
See them run, no sense of danger
But i know the truth behind her smile
Keep me warm tonight, never satisfy
If you meet again she may pass you by
No apologies, never compromise
It's the truth behind her smile
She'll let you down
Keep me warm tonight, never satisfy
If you meet again she may pass you by
No apologies, never compromise
It's the truth behind her...
Truth behind her smile
