"KARMA CHAMELEON + THE WAR SONG". CULTURE CLUB.

Culture Club fue una banda pop new romantic británico de los años ochenta capitaneada por Boy George quien se identificaba por su estética glam y transgresora.
Fue un grupo que triunfó en los años ochenta con temas sensuales y creativos. En sus inicios,
Boy George creó revuelo en sus apariciones por televisión, por sus maquillajes coloridos y por la ropa femenina y las trenzas con las que se presentaba en sus apariciones, un aspecto inequívocamente travestido.
Tras unos inicios un tanto frustrantes, con un sencillo publicado por
Virgin con un éxito nulo, Boy George publicó el tema Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?, una seductora canción con ritmo reggae y que le valió para obtener cierto renombre y abrirse camino en el mundo de la música. Culture Club fue uno de los principales exponentes del estilo new romantic, mezcla de pop new wave, soul y reggae. El extravagante vocalista iba acompañado por Roy Hay (guitarra), Mike Craig (bajo) y Jon Moss (batería), quien previamente había tocado con The Damned.
En 1983, aparece el primer álbum de Culture Club, titulado Kissing To Be Clever, con el cual consiguieron un tremendo éxito que fue repetido unos meses después con el álbum Colour by Numbers y el sencillo extraído Karma Chameleon, que obtenía el primer puesto en las listas británicas y norteamericanas.
En
1984, Culture Club publica su tercer álbum, bajo el título de Waking Up With The House On Fire, el cual ingresó en los "charts" de Estados Unidos de América en la posición número 2, del mismo se extrajo el sencillo de gran éxito "The War Song".
En
1985, aparecen noticias graves para el grupo, ya que el alma de la banda, Boy George, confiesa su adicción a las drogas y, principalmente, a la heroína. Este hecho hace que el trabajo en general de la banda resulte bastante irregular y su calidad descienda enormemente; no obstante lo anterior, Culture Club publica el álbum From Luxury To Heartache, con el que intentan redimirse ante sus fans, algo que logran a medias. El disco permanece varias semanas en las listas, pero la sintonía de Culture Club con su público ya no es la misma.
Pocos días después de la publicación del álbum, el teclista Michael Rudetski, que co-escribió y tocó en la canción "Sexuality" del album de Culture Club "From Luxury to Heartache", aparece muerto por sobredosis de heroína en la casa de George. Fue el golpe definitivo para Culture Club, del que no se supo sobreponer y terminó desapareciendo.
A partir de ese momento, Boy George continuó en solitario con una exitosa carrera como
solista en un principio. No obstante, su adicción a los estupefacientes continuaba en aumento, llegando a ser detenido en alguna ocasión por posesión de drogas. En 2007 cumplió servicio comunitario por este motivo en la Ciudad de New York.
En
1998, Culture Club vuelve a reunirse para grabar el tema I Just Wanna Be Loved, que fue incluido en el disco doble de la VH1 Story Tellers/Greatest Moments; la misma canción fue incluida en el disco del grupo de 1,999 "Don´t mind if I do" que contiene 15 temas.
En 2004 se editó el DVD recopilatorio "Grandes Éxitos".



KARMA CHAMELEON
Desert loving in your eyes all the way.
if i listen to your lies would you say
i'm a man without conviction,
i'm a man who doesn't know
how to sell a contradiction.
you come and go, you come and go.
karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.
Don't hear your wicked words every day
and you used to be so sweet, i heard you say
that my love was an addiction.
when we cling our love is strong.
when you go you're gone forever.
you string along, you string along.
karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.
every day is like survival,
you're my lover, not my rival.
every day is like survival,
you're my lover, not my rival.
I'm a man without conviction,
i'm a man who doesn't know
how to sell a contradiction.
you come and go, you come and go.
karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.
karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.
karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green. (fade)



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
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 street
won't somebody help me?
(repeat chorus)
Man is far behind
in the search for something new
like as philistine

we're burning witches too
this world of fate
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 street
won't somebody help me?
(chorus)
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.

"IT´S A MIRACLE". CULTURE CLUB.


IT´S A MIRACLE
Guns that cross the street
you never know who you might meet
who's in disguise
ooh as you blow a storm
there's no one there to keep you warm
it's no surprise
there's something in my eyes

It's a miracle

it's a miracle

it's a miracle

it's a miracle

it's a miracle

it's a miracle
and dreams are made of emotion
Dance with the counterfeit
the plastic smiles and micro heat
i'll meet you there
run to the edge of town
where hollywood lay its footprints down
monroe was there
but do you really care

It's a miracle
it's a miracle
it's a miracle
it's a miracle
it's a miracle
it's a miracle
and dreams are made of emotion
Guns that cross the street
you never know who you might meet
who's in disguise
ooh as you blow a storm
there's no one there to keep you warm
it's no surprise
there's something in my eyes

It's a miracle
it's a miracle
it's a miracle
it's a miracle
it's a miracle
it's a miracle

and dreams are made of emotion
Cry it's a miracle
cry it's a miracle
cry it's a miracle
cry it's a miracle.


"THE CRYING GAME·. BOY GEORGE & CULTURE CLUB.


THE CRYING GAME
I know all there is to know about the crying game
I've had my share of the crying game
First there are kisses, then there are sighs
And then, before you know where you are
You're sayin' goodbye


Someday soon I'm gonna tell the moon
About the crying game
And if he knows, maybe he'll explain
Why there are heartaches, why there are tears
And what to do to stop feeling blue
When love disappears

I know all there is to know about the crying game
I've had my share of the crying game
First there are kisses, then there are sighs
And then, before you know where you are
You're sayin' goodbye


Don't want no more of the crying game

Don't want no more of the crying game...

"DO YOU REALLY WANT TO HURT ME". CULTURE CLUB.


DO YOU REALLY WANT TO HURT ME

Give me time
To realise my crime
Let me love and steal
I have danced
Inside your eyes
How can I be real


Do you really want to hurt me

Do you really want to make me cry
Precious kisses, words that burn me
Lovers never ask you why
In my heart the fire's burning
Choose my colour, find a star
Precious people always tell me
That's a step a step too far

Do you really want to hurt me

Do you really want to make me cry

Do you really want to hurt me

Do you really want to make me cry

Words are few I have spoken
I could waste a thousand years
Wrapped in sorrow, words are token
Come inside and catch my tears
You've been talking but believe me
If it's true you do not know
This boy loves without a reason
I'm prepared to let you go

If it's love you want from me
Then take it away
Everything is not what you see
It's over again


I needed time to realize my crime
It was let me love & steal
I did dances inside my mind
Now how can I be real


Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?
No I don't really want to hurt you
Then lovers always asked me:
Why why why why


In my mind memory's burning
What's your favorite color of your favorite car?
I took a step the step was learning
That that's a step beyond a step too far


Do you really want to hurt me?
Do you really want to make me cry?
No I don't really want to hurt you
I told the truth but it was still a lie


The words are few some are unspoken
I could sleep four thousand years
Man of sorrows word unbroken
His sweat like blood came down like tears


I've been talking but believe me
I know that it's true
Now that there's no more I don't know
I'm in love and love's the reason
I'm not prepared to let you let me go so
If it's love you want then take all of me
It's this love I want I can finally see


Do I really want to hurt you?
Do I really want to make you cry?
Yes I suppose I want to hurt you
You told the truth but it was still a lie.

"I JUST WANA BE LOVED". CULTURA CLUB.


I JUST WANNA BE LOVED
Take a picture of tonight
And keep it by your heart
Love has left its memories
There's no better way to part
iwill find another love
Someone who won't bring me down
How you tried to level me
But you never stood your ground

FFortunately I got me on my mind
ortunately I got wise this time

Chours:
I just wanna be loved

Don't want to fight you baby

But i'm much too proud to say it loud

I just wanna be loved

Don't want to beg you baby

But i'm much too proud to shout it out

Take a piece of dignity
And use it in your life
Even though you hurt me
I still want you to survive
Love was never special
We were never down
You will always have someone
To bring you to the ground

Forutunately I got wise this time
Fortunately I got me on my mind

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
ooo, when you love someone
Don't you know love is blind
Ooo, when you love some one
It'll be for all time, all time

Fortunately I got wise this time
fortunately I got me on my mind

(repeat chorus w/ ad-libs to end).
