Lyrics by Boy George

My personal favourites
Might not include everybody's favourites
My aplogies

Just read on!
Ill Adore                

Mother clutches the head of her dying son
Anger and tears, so many things to feel
Sensitive boy, good with his hands
Noone mentions the unmentionable
but everybody understands
Here in this cold white room
Tied up to these machines
It's hard to imagine him as he used to be

Laughing screaming tumbling queen
Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen
Whirling swirling never blue
How could you go and die,
what a lonely thing to do

Silence equals death, this is what they say
But the anger and the tears
Do not take the pain away
How far must it go, how near must it be
Before it touches you, before it touches me
Here in this cold white room
Tied up to these machines
It's hard to imagine life as it used to be

Laughing screaming tumbling queen
Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen
Whirling swirling never blue
How could you go and die, what a selfish thing to do

Did you ever ask those strangers what they're searching for?
Did they laugh and tell you they're not really sure?
You were hurt by love but still you came right back for more
Il adore, il adore, il adore

Thanks Mum

(Il Adore was written in memory of Stevie Hughes who died of Aids in 1993.)

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 leaving the blind
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
If I Could Fly

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






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

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
