Sign Language Lyrics


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 doIn the morning I rise
Wipe the dream from my eyes
Contemplate your demise
There's just no getting throughAlways dream, don't apologize
Life is sweet, never close your eyes
The truth it seems, must have passed you by
At least a million timesGimme 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 rightSo you made me a creep
I'm not losing any sleep
'Cause my scars are much too deep
Don't start getting precious on me, yeahIn the morning I rise
While your life is paralyzed
In the sweet smell of disguise

There's just no getting through to youAlways dream, don't apologize
Life is sweet, never close your eyes
The truth it seems, must have passed you by
At least a million timesGimme 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 rightHey, 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 rightAnother drive by love affair
Why don't you tell someone who cares
If you careGimme 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 rightGimme a sign, gimme gimme, gimme a sign
Gimme, gimme, gimme, yeah, 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 rightLet's get it right

Culture Club was a popular 1980s pop group, perhaps most noticeable for their gender-bending frontman Boy George. The other members of the band were Roy Hay on guitars and keyboards, Mikey Craig playing bass and Jon Moss (ex Damned, London, Adam and the Ants) on drums.

Their first album, 1982's Kissing to Be Clever, became a major international hit, spawning the hit singles "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" (which went 'all the way' in the BBC-Charts in late 1982), "Time (Clock of the Heart)", and "I'll Tumble 4 Ya". Unique in his eccentric manner of dress and androgynous look, Boy George became a worldwide celebrity.

Their second album, 1983's Colour By Numbers also did extremely well, giving the band its second number one hit in the UK with "Karma Chameleon." Karma Chameleon reached No.1 in many countries and they even starred in UK's Top of the Pops in September 1983. However, trouble was brewing within the Culture Club camp. Unknown to the public, George was having an affair with drummer Jon Moss. The affair (which lasted over four years) was often problematic and the pressure to hide the relationship started to take its toll.

The band also started to lose its place musically. Their next album, 1984's Waking Up With the House on Fire was a major disappointment. Though the band gained a small comeback with 1986's From Luxury to Heartache (thanks to the hit "Move Away"), both George's and Jon's fights created much tension, eventually leading to the breakup of the band. Around this time, George also became addicted to heroin, which created a frenzy with the tabloids. Eventually, George would let go of the habit and begin his solo career. A minor hit from the "Hiding Out" soundtrack called "Live My Life" peaked at U.S. #40. While George scored several hits in Europe and finally hit the U.S. top 20 with 1992's "The Crying Game", he was never able to reach the success he achieved with Culture Club.

In 1998, the band put their issues aside and decided to do a reunion tour. Kicked off with a performance on VH1 Storytellers, the tour was a major success. Shortly after, Culture Club recorded a new album titled Don't Mind If I Do. Though never released in the U.S., the first single, "I Just Wanna Be Loved" (UK #4), was featured on a compilation based around the Storytellers performance.

The band went on to tour for a few more years. Recently, however, Culture Club has been inactive, largely due to Boy George's concentration on his successful career as a DJ. In late 2006, Culture Club announced a reunion - albeit, without Boy George as lead singer.
