I lay not sleeping
Don't know what to do
Lay out in waiting
Lord for the noon
Pass so slowly
Time without you
I can't see why
My open eyes can't see
So much to look by
So many things to be
Can't keep looking
In and out of me
She looks at nothing
Someone you all have seen
She never cried
As I watched her leave
Try to help me
Find the change in me
Oh, oh, oh
Try to help me
Find the change in me
Slowly, the eastern moon ascending
night came and founding close beside me
And when a silouette .... blending
i found the true love faith to night me
Above a ... madness
and .... a play ....
Ignoring every word my heart .....
Taboo, taboo, remember he is not for you
Bahía Azul!

Llorando Se Fue La Que Un Día me hizo Llorar
Llorando Se Fue La Que Un Día me hizo Llorar
Llorando Estara Recordando El Amor
Que Un Día no Supo Cuidar (my loveer)
Llorando Estara Recordando El Amor
Que Un Día no Supo Cuidar (Brasil! )
A recordacao vai estar com ele aonde for
A recordacao vai estar pra sempre aonde for
Danca sol e mar guardarei no olhar
O amor faz perder encontrar
Lambando estarei ao lembrar que este amor
Por um dia um instante foi rei
Soca En San Pablo de noche, La Luna, Las Estrellas
La playa La Arena para Olvidarme De Ella
Una sirena Que Hechiza
Mientras Tomando El Sol Uh! IOh-Oh!
Un Cuerpo Que pida a gritos
Samba Y Calor Uh! iOhi oh!

I don't have to be true
Cause you don't belong to me baby
And all I`m saying is that
We`ve got loving to do
I`m hanging on to you
And all I can think about is taboo
We`ve got sweet easy pain running through my veins
It`s like I`ve never been touch before
And now addiction rise like a flash of light
You`ve got coming around for more
So lay me down
Wrap yourself around
Don`t be a stranger when you`re here
Before we overload and the rush explodes
I wanna hold you and wisper in your ear
I don't have to be true
Cause you don't belong to me baby
And all I`m saying is that
We`ve got loving to do
I`m hanging on to you
And all I can think about is taboo
But all I`m saying is...
LEIGH, BILLY AND SLAVES
Touched by the hand of cool
I wanna be touched by the hand of cool
I wanna be touched by the hand of cool
I wanna be touched by the hand of cool
LEIGH
It's all about potential... Look at those cheeks... etched out of baby granite...
SLAVES
Take a little pinch of no-one
Dress it up in something cool
We know you can teach us something
You're just such a know it all
LEIGH
Get to work...
SLAVES
Blessed if you can make us worthy
Something to write home about
We are dumb
And we know nothing
There's no shadow of a doubt
Oh we love it when you're evil
It's no less than we deserve
How you kill us with unkindness
We hang on every word
How absurd
I wanna be touched by the hand of cool
I wanna be touched by the hand of cool
I wanna be touched by the hand of cool
I wanna be touched by the hand of cool
LEIGH
I think she's got it... By George, I think she's got it...
SLAVES
It's a little bit Pygmalion
You're a little Dorian Gray
Some of us are heterosexual
Some of us refuse to say
Blessed if you are worthy
Something to write home about
We are dumb and we know nothing
Oh we love it when you're evil
It's no less than we deserve
LEIGH
What? Him wear that?
SLAVES
How you kill us with unkindness
We hang on every word
How absurd
LEIGH
Look at those cheeks...
I wanna be touched by the hand of cool

BOY GEORGE
I'm turning my back on this life for as long as I can,
Someone make me star 'cause I sure as hell can't be a man,
I'm too fragile and clever you know
And this universe just leaves me cold
I'm just hanging around here, I'm longing for someone to hold
You always knew didn't you Mother
You always knew as mothers always do
You always knew didn't you Mother
I was a stranger in this world
This dumb education was never quite part of my plan
So you left me to ruin but I'll always know who I am
I'm too fragile and clever you see
And your universe just leaves me cold
I'm just hanging around here, I'm longing for someone to hold
You always knew didn't you Mother
You always knew as mothers always do
You always knew didn't you Mother
I was a stranger in this world
Whoever told you that these were the days of our lives?
The sweet boys they crumble, and the wicked ones rise and survive
And they're running our lives, yes they're running our lives
You always knew didn't you Mother
You always knew as mothers always do
You always knew didn't you Mother,
I was a stranger in this world
On a clear day, I can see myself for miles
Oh Mother, oh Mother
On a clear day
Petal and Tarts
PETAL
See me on the street, just a vagabond
I'm a beggar, I'm a thief
But I'm some mother's son
You don't see the hunger
Or the good in me
Just a hand reaching to ya
Wanting something for free
Call me a taker, I've got nothing to give
Call me a loser, I'm just trying to live
With a bit more love, love, love
I could be someone
I could be someone
PETAL
Isn't that a shame. Boo. Now then... Count me in...
Call me a taker, I've got nothing to give Call me a loser,
I'm just trying to live
With a bit more love, love, love
I could be someone
I could be someone
PETAL
Did ya like that one? Did ya?
BILLY
You think you know me
I don't even know me
I'd screw my head off
and lay it at your feet
So you can tell me please
What's on my mind
My curiosity
My sweet complexity
You crush my spirit and you kill my vanity
And I run, run, run, run
From what I feel inside
If I stay here
I'll be nothing
I'll be no-one
So don't hold me back
Just let me go
It's safe in the city
So safe in the city
If I stay here
I'll be nothing
I'll be no-one
So don't hold me back
Just let me go
It's safe in the city
So safe in the city
I don't wanna bite the hand that feeds me
Send me on a rocket to the moon
The city lights and traffic jams excite me
Maybe I've grown up much too soon
If I stay here
I'll be nothing
I'll be no-one
So don't hold me back
Just let me go
It's safe in the city
So safe in the city
It's safe in the city
So safe in the city

Philip Sallon and Freaks
PHILIP
Give me a freak
Any day of the week
I'm comfortable with those you call demented
Give me a freak
Not someone meek
With space between their ears that can be rented
I like noise
Aggressive boys
Hookers, thieves and queers and those confused
If you knew
What I knew
You'd be a freak too
FREAKS
Give me a freak
Any day of the week
I'm comfortable with those you call demented
Give me a freak
Not someone meek
With space between their ears that can be rented
I like noise
Aggressive boys
Hookers, thieves and queers and those confused
If you knew
What I knew
You'd be a freak too!
FREAKS
I'm known in all the wrong places
I'm one of those faces
You'll never forget
And those who may not adore me
Could never ignore me
I'm placing a bet
I can be real shallow if I try
But there's so much more to me than meets the eye
My manner can be misconstrued as trite
I'm irrepressible - a creature of the night
I'm known in all the wrong placesI'm one of those faces
You'll never forget
You'll never forget
You'll never forget!
Sung at the same time as...
Give me a freak
Any day of the week
I'm comfortable with those you call demented
Give me a freak
Not someone meek
With space between their ears that can be rented
I like noise
Aggressive boys
Hookers, thieves and queers and those confused
If you knew
What I knew
I can never get this muck from round my eyes
Dunno why I bother sometimes
Painting my face up, for the kill
A little bit of glitter goes a long, long way
But if you never see my face
How will you know if you feel is real
I've been trying to be something, I'll never be
But I'm nothing special, there's no mystery
I've been hiding from the world, and from myself
Wanting love so desperately, oh so desperately
If you see all the hurt in my eyes
Will you laugh, will you run, will you carry me
If I tell you that I'm weak and I'm scared
Will that seem absurd
I'm the loneliest girl in the world
I can never let you see the girl inside
Won't let my defences slide
I can't let you see my tears
A little bit of fire drives the boys away
But maybe I might let you stay
If you show me that your love is real
I've been trying to be something, I'll never be
But I'm nothing special, there's no mystery
I've been hiding from the world, and from myself
Wanting love so desperately, oh so desperately
If you see all the hurt in my eyes
Will you laugh, will you run, will you carry me
If I tell you that I'm weak and I'm scared
Will that seem absurd
BOY GEORGE
Looking at life my friends
I feel confusion
A work in progress or just a mystery
Headless chickens
Sequins dripping
It was all
All about you and me
Now who do we think we are?
Sad old clowns
Two bright shining stars
There was method in our madness
There's a rumour in the truth
There was love
But where's the proof
Ooh, ooh
Looking at you my friend
Silent and watching
I see the humour and the tragedy
Hearts are ticking
Something's missing
It was all
All about you and me
Who do we thing we are?
Sad old clowns
Two bright shining stars
There was method in our madness
There's a rumour in the truth
There was love
But where's the proof
Ooh, ooh
Always together
Always alone
Frightened of silence
Glued to the phone
First you see me
Then you don't
Who's the victim
Where's the joke
Who do we thing we are?
Sad old clowns
Two bright shining stars
There was method in our madness
There's a rumour in the truth
There was love
But what's the use...?
PHILIP SALLON
Hate the way you look at me
Like you can tell so much about my lifeMy life
Assassinate so carelessly
So assured how sweet you twist the knife
Don't you know I'm just a lot like you
I need all the Godly things that you do
When you're alone, at night, do you run and hide?
Are you strong, inside, are you full of pride?
Or just petrified
Hate the way you look at me
But I can see the terror in your eyes
Your eyes
You pull the trigger
Your smile is sweet
But I don't care if we never meet
That's fine
It's alright
Don't you know I'm just a lot like you
I need all the Godly things that you do
When you're alone, at night, do you run and hide?
Are you strong, inside, are you full of pride?
Or just petrified
When you're alone, at night, do you run and hide?
Are you strong, inside, are you full of pride?
Or just petrified
Take a look at your life
Take a look in my eyes
Take a look at your life
Take a look in my eyes
Take a look at your life
STEVE STRANGE
Too much jealousy will make you crazy
I've been walking the streets in shoes that kill my feet
Too much make up, Oh, dream like a lady
Now you're a prisoner of some shallow dream
You're out of fashion
Your moment's over
And yes I loved you
Oh, but you wore me out
You're out of fashion
So just forget it now
A living tragedy
Parody, fits you like a glove
Too much ego makes you ugly, yeah
I've been running away from what I really need
Desperation pushes love away
Now you're a prisoner of your own desire
You're out of fashion
Your moment's over
And yes I loved you
Oh, but you wore me out
You're out of fashion
So just forget it now
A living tragedy
Parody fits you like a glove
There's enough love in this world for you and me
There's enough love for everyone, you wait and see
There's enough love in this world, so why do we hide
What we feel inside?
There's enough love in this world for you and me
There's enough love in for everyone, you wait and see
There's enough love in this world, so why do we hide
What we feel inside?
There's enough love in this world
There's enough love for everyone
There's enough love in this worldSo why do we hide what we feel inside
If there's enough love in this world
If there's enough love for everyone
If there's enough love in this world
Then why do we hide what we feel inside
There's enough love in this world
If there's enough love for everyone
If there's enough love in this world
Then why do we hide what we feel inside
If there's enough love for everyone
BILLY AND KIM
Who can explain the attraction
I wouldn't know where to begin
Love can be faltered or founded
On the slightest thing
BILLY
I can't explain the attraction
I don't know where to start
Love's a peculiar feeling
It's a question mark
BOTH
But if you stick around
You might find me complicated
I'm difficult at times
But I'm worth it
Really worth it
Don't get too close
Don't be afraid
Don't say too much
If you don't mean it
I can be kind
I can be cold
I've got a heart
Haven't you seen it
I can't explain the attraction
You're nothing special to me
BILLY
You've got the kind of beauty
That the eye can't see
BOTH
But if you stick around
You might find me complicated
I'm difficult at times
But I'm worth it
Really worth it
Don't get too close
Don't be afraid
Don't say too much
If you don't mean it
I can be kind
I can be cold
I've got a heart
Haven't you seen it
Don't get too close
Don't be afraid
Don't say too much
If you don't mean it
I can be kind
I can be cold
I've got a heart
BILLY
Haven't you seen it...
JOSIE
I got away from him
I never thought I could
Sweet independence tastes so damn good
He said I was useless
Just a waste of space
I believed it
I lived it
I wore it on my face
Now look at me
The dark clouds are gone
I got my pride backAnd I'm moving on
Independent woman
A casualty of love
I'm wounded and I know it
But I'm strong enough
Independent woman
Now I really see
For the first time in my life
I'm really me
JOSIE, KIM, PHILIP
Independent woman
A casualty of love
I'm wounded and I know it
But I'm strong enough
Independent woman
Now I really see
For the first time in my life
I'm really me.
Independent woman, independent
For the first time in my life
I'm really me, me, me
BIG SUE
Mother clutches the head of a dying son
Anger and tears, so many things to feel
Sensitive boy, good with his hands
No one 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, tumbing 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 their pain away
How far must we 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, tumbing 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 and still you came right back for more

Ich Bin Kunst, can't you see
Look at you, then look at me
I am art, you're parody
Ich Bin Kunst
Je suis art, tres, tres debonair,
Because you don't, because I dare
I blow you mind, C'est mon plaisir
Ich Bin Kunst
It started when I was only a boy
I couldn't kick a ball, climb a tree, play at war
I took pleasure in the things that make men shudder
I dressed up in the wardrobe of my Mother
My father said "Don't panic it's a phase"
"Phase one" I said, and snipped and sewed for days
I dreamed of London town, Ardent fashion was my thing,
I arrived and took a job in Burger King! - It was nothing!
Ich Bin Kunst, can't you see,
Look at you, then look at me, I am art, you're parody
Ich Bin Kunst
Je suis art, tres, tres, debonair,
Because you don't, and because I dare,
I blow you mind, C'est mon plaisir

LEIGH
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the biggest freak of all?
LEIGH
I've had a man or two
In fact I've had a few
In dark and dingy places
I've fallen to my knees
And begged a stranger please
A world of lust and lipstick traces
I've had lawyers, doctors, judges and thugs
And I never, never, never ask their names
Hungry faces in the dark
Dirty deeds in the park
And before you ask
I feel no shame
Fat, thin, old, young, tiny meat, well hung
White, black, half-chat
Did you see the size of that
Rough, shy, Greek, Thai
Hairy, scary, straight or bi
I'll have them all
I'll have you all
I never fall in love
I just can't get enough
Of boys with pretty faces
Warm bed or Russell Square
A cottage here or there
Those charming, old familiar places
I've had lawyers, doctors, judges and thugs
And I never, never, never ask their names
Hungry faces in the dark
Dirty deeds in the park
And before you ask
I feel no shame
LEIGH, BILLY AND PHILIP

There was a time when I believed
That you had power over me
I woke up and the fear was gone
I found the strength to carry on
You twisted my reality and all my possibilities
Now look at you all broke in two
And I'll be moving on
My life out of your hands
Don't need a reason why
Don't have to understand
'Cause it's sweet goodbye
I see through you
And all the tears I cried
I see through you
No, you're not God on high
So goodbye
There was a time when I believed
That you could change the world for me
I woke up and the pain was gone
I found the strength to carry on
You twisted my reality and all my possibilities
Now look at you all broke in two
And I'll be moving on
My life out of your hands
Don't need a reason why
Don't have to understand
'Cause it's sweet goodbye
I see through you
And all the tears I cried
I see through you
No, you're not God on high
I see through you
I see through you
Smoked you like a cigarette
I'll get you out for good
I never thought I could
I see through you

Beautiful child in razor heels
Sashays into the room
All the boys, they catch their breath
And the mirrors swoon
Now she's running down the hallway
Headscarf and a Hollywood smile
She's got a dagger in your back
And a killer style
Love and hate, it's all the same my way
Just another twisted game to play
Evil, child star, movie queen
Evil, sweet charm, Mabeline
Evil, no one gets the better of me
Your father's rage and a cocktail dress
With a bullet proof heart
Why is your life in such a mess
If you're so damn smart
Judy Garland, Jimmy Dean
You tragedy queen
Give me fat girls, give me rough boys
Give me what I dream
Love and hate, it's all the same my way
Just another twisted game to play
Evil, child star, movie queen

Two fierce drag queens go round the outside
And in stilettos.
Two fierce drag queens go round the outside
Round the outside, round the outside
Two fierce drag queens go round the outside
And in stilettos.
Tell me what you fear
I'll show you what to do
We don't do sincere
Everything taboo
Tell me what you fear
I'll show you what to do
We don't do sincere
BOY GEORGE
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
That 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's not what you see
It's over again
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
Do you really want to hurt meDo you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
JOSIE
Staring my life in the face
Haunted by what could have been
What should have been
What might have been
Was not
You're just a living disgrace
Drag on another cigarette
As you try to forget
You're tired of saving face
I live among these ruins
I've wasted so much breath
As dreams fade into nothing
There's no one there
There's nothing left
Talk amongst yourselves
But I know words won't make it better
You think you know me well
I know my faults down to the letter
Wiping these tears from my face
Wave goodbye to memories
You holding me, you loving me
You've changed
Take me away from this place
Far from all my bitterness
From promises broken everyday
I live among these ruins
I've wasted so much breath
As dreams fade into nothing
There's no one there
There's nothing left
Talk amongst yourselves
But I know words won't make it better
You think you know me well
I know my faults down to the letter
So talk amongst yourselvesBut I know words won't make it better
You think you know me well
I know my faults down to the letter
For the sake of argument
Say Jerry Springer were the president
“No Inhibitions!”
The national theme
There’d still be one thing
Makin’ Donahue scream
“Taboo!”
We’ve come to the last
Taboo
There’s an audible gasp
When you claim there’s a God
Who’s objectively true
It’s taboo
Party on, let freedom ring
For the shock jocks and the gangsta kings
But mention Jesus in the public square
The tables turn and the tempers flare
Taboo
That’s a no-can-do
Taboo
The A.C.L.U.
Say when we sneeze
Could we please
Drop the ‘God bless you’
It’s taboo
God isn’t really dead
He’s under house arrest
Will Amnesty protest?
No I don’t think so
I could kiss a kangaroo
Sic my Spitz on your Shih Tzu
No one blinks at anything I do
Until I claim the resurrection is true
“Taboo!”
I’m breaking the last
Taboo
How about you?
Do you claim Jesus’ name
As the ultimate truth?
