Culture Club - Cold Shoulder Lyrics






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 in my mind
You'll be the loser
You might find
Questions lead to answers in time
While you're so cold
so cold inside
(To reach you babe)
Remember that fight in Amsterdam
When I made you cry 'cos 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 in 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 hurt inside
Want someone to pay for the tears you cry
Ain't gonna be me
not this time
Never lie
never play those games in 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 in 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 babe
Cos I love you
But my head says
Not this time!

  18. F.... V....

    This beautiful and haunting song is so underrated. I bought this single back in 1998 or 1999. I hope they will re-release it. It deserves to be on the top 5, at least!

  19. A.... ....

    The first time I heard this (listening to the album), I thought, "Well, this is a definite follow-up to the classic CC singles of the '80s..." It became my favorite song from the album. It should have been a Top 10 hit single internationally...and worthy of a Grammy and a Brit Award. Everything about this song works, and I love how George, in his late 30s here, has a powerful timbre and balance between his barely 20-something voice (in the 1980s) and his then-deepening, thicker pitch and tone (just prior to Y2K/2000). I never knew there was a video for this single...I wasn't able to purchase DMIID until years after its release, because it didn't get a domestic album release in America...I had to purchase an import from England...WHY didn't this album get ANY fanfare in The States, where the band had their biggest successes?! This should be played on the airwaves, as We speak...

  20. Y.... M....

    Great vidio thanks

  21. M.... A....

    He is Royalty!

  22. T.... p....

    Some lyrics overlap - More Than Silence

    I love this song cold shoulder its touching from the heart of the moment

  43. F.... d....

    bem legal

  44. F.... d....

    gredo que show ne

  45. M.... R....

    Great song.  -Coleen

  46. C.... 1....

    This song should have been a huge No 1 hit. George as a poet writes well and Roy, Jon and Michael are extremely underrated musicians. Without them, they simply wouldn't have that sound. Listen to those chords. What's wrong with the world?!

    C.... 1....

    George is an extremely complex individual and we are lucky he was brave enough to step into the spotlight. When George writes you can tell it is from the heart. George is no small man in height and stature but he can transform to the image he wants to convey. Time (Clock Of The Heart) was one of the breakout moments for the band and the song never grows old.

  47. M.... C....

    I love this version of this song. So heartfelt.

  48. D.... W....

    I luv this band so underrated

  49. P.... ....

    They should re-release it now he is back in the spotlight via The Voice, show the modern crew just how good and timeless CC songs are

  50. r.... ....

    that's the Culture Club !

  51. M.... R....

    Is this about Jon???

  52. J.... G....

    yea im sure he does,,,love the chorus

  53. -.... G....

    sometimes i still think hes singing about jon...his soulmate..

    -.... G....

    l agree with you

    -.... G....

    Deborah Guido on Instagram of April 28, 2018, he was with Michael, interesting.

    -.... G....

    I hope that he has gotten past that!

    -.... G....

    He does i think George is still in love with Jon moss

  54. P.... S....

    Amazing,love you guys!!

  55. K.... W....

    Bad Ass Sound Track I Love It Makes You Walk With Your Head High Proud.

  56. h.... ....

    I agree one of his greatest songs

  57. J.... W....

    Stylish, unique, odd, sexy, never is there such a voice like Boy George!

  58. C.... ....

    I have to agree with all the comments......this song is so underrated yet a brilliant song.    I'd say his best song......I've got this on a very old cassette tape and listen to it a lot.      I especially love the strings in the orchestra.......
     

  59. R.... S....

    NICE SONG!

  60. g.... f....

    A very amazing song....i don't understand why it was not successful...

    g.... f....

    I hate the bbc corrupt and biased.

    g.... f....

    I love Culture Club, but this song wasn’t successful because it wasn’t innovative, or modern sounding. Sounds dated even when it came out. Plus, it’s very hard for a band to make a successful comeback after being away so many years. Their fan base grew up, and moved on to other things. It’s like when the Go-Go’s made that comeback album God Bless the Go-Go’s years ago. It was a fantastic album, their best, but it was a major flop because after all that time, nobody cared about the Go-Go’s anymore. Just as no one cared about Culture Club anymore when this album/song was released (except for the diehard CC fans). It had nothing to do with the BBC or lack of promotion. If it had tons of promotion, it still would have flopped. Hell, the entire album wasn’t even released in North America and many other countries.

    g.... f....

    *Culture Club made a huge and successful comeback throughout the years, especially with their World Tours 2015, 2016 and 2017.* They were so excited that people still loved them. They were like WOW we can't believe the Fans still LOVE us. I couldn't keep up with all the interviews and the Excitement surrounding them, *_so you're just stating your Opinion, NOT Facts._* All their Concerts were Sold Out! The Real and Die-Hard Fans are waiting for them to do more Concerts & put out music in the Future.

    g.... f....

    I loved every song on this album. But I love all their songs too and anything George sings.

    g.... f....

    @Trevor Bayers they write and sing art. It's awesome. Every song. It's not dated. We wouldn't expect them to sound like some modern bebop crap.
    Good day sir. Have a great day.

  61. A.... E....

    such a BEAUTIFUL voice  This song makes me somewhat sad

    A.... E....

    I'm sad that after the surgery on his Vocal Cord to remove polyp in 2014, his voice forever changed to a more deep husky sound. I miss that voice.

    A.... E....

    Natural Kinky Curly―Marie what surgery? He stated he rested his cords, no surgery

  62. S.... c....

    My favorite song from the Don´t mind if i do album. Great voice.

  63. K.... H....

    Roy is hot in this video

  64. L.... A....

    very beautiful Boy George!!

  65. p.... ....

    This is a far more mature sounding band.

    VERY WELL DONE!

  66. C.... W....

    BEST VOCAL PERFORMANCE BY FAR

  67. l.... t....

    aah! this song never ever ever gets old....loves...*mwah* ;)

  68. p.... ....

    It was never released here in the States. If it had I would have definitely bought it.

  69. p.... ....

    It's from their 1999 Album " Don't Mind If I Do " which unfortunately wasn't released outside of Britain.

    p.... ....

    perpetual61 yes it was

  70. M.... J....

    i love when boy george sings "made you cry cuz you know i can" he sounds so sexy!!!! my favortie lyric in this song.

  71. T.... F....

    Why in the world would you ruin this video by adding your own tired and very stupid commentary and lyrics.

  72. J.... M....

    JUST LOVE THİS SONG....and Primrose Hill is lovely too

  73. r.... n....

    lindo!bela voz,bela canção!amo culture club...amo boy george,hoy,mikey e jon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  74. S.... R....

    @terryjfisher you know...maybe...it was just a phase..I mean a heard a bunch of ppl saying he really IS friendly! dunno...maybe he had some prorblems...don`t judge him only for that! i know it was not a very happy experience but maybe it`ll be better next time! at least on twitter he answer very nice and polite! ^^

  75. S.... R....

    @terryjfisher when was that? what did he do...? :( or ..didn`t do?

  76. t.... ....

    I've heard a remixed version of it...but this is the first time I'm hearing the original.
    For those of us who grew up in the 80's when this band hit us like a brick... this is sublime Culture Club man.....heavy.

  77. t.... ....

    Beaut, beaut, BEAUTIFUL song...wow.
