Culture Club - The medal song (HD)

You used to say love and be loved
all the time
Till you discovered feelings
were a failure sign
When it rains
it rains so hard
The tears begin to show
Now it's raining in my heart
I want the world to know
Life will never be the same
as it was again
Life will never be the same
as it was again
Through my anger and my joy
my tears and pain
Life will never be the same
as it was again
Beneath the sea of Hollywood
where Frances used to reign
They trade their deepest wishes
for a part in someone's game
Spirits die alone at night
For life they cannot hold
I would rather dance with you
Than have a medal to show
We are just everyday people
not a theatre company
Everyone wants to join us
there's no fear in us you see
It's me for you
and you for me
Sun go east, sun go west
Will I wear a medal again
Sun go east, sun go west
We can dance and bring on the rain
Now I say love for love
not for a space in time
The strangest things
can shatter kings
and take away what's mine
When it's raining in my heart
I want the world to know
I would rather dance with you
Than have a medal to show
Sun go east, sun go west
Will I wear a medal again
Sun go east, sun go west
We can dance and bring on the rain

[angiepilkington]

I luv culture club and have since i was a kid... Still do at 48..

[irishboy]

Haven’t heard this in years I’d forgotten how good it is.

[empireentertainmentevents]

it's amazing that this song sounds like a Carribean/ Reggae song mixed with a catchy verse yet it is unique..and unlike any song I have heard before.

[jacquelinegolding]

George knows this a longtme ago, powerful song George !!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ GOD N LOVE IS THE ONLY ANSWER!!

[johnwihebrink]

A Culture Club Classic. I love this song.

[DarthMacchio]

Not sure why the band doesn't think very highly of this record. I thought it had quite a few gems on it, Medal Song probably being one of my favorite Culture Club songs <3

[SiFatGwai]

This song and its album are so criminally underrated and criticized.

[ellenkellett]

Fabulous song it really shows George's vocals so sweet

[Maria_victoria]

december 2021...i m 50 years old and i still remember the lyrics . Love the song, love CC and love the 80's...I m form Argentina

[himynameisbrent]

Waking Up With The House On Fire has aged really well. I've always appreciated it just as much as Colour By Numbers.

[empireentertainmentevents]

This is one of those songs that are so under rated during its time... only to be noticed again after many years later by the mass. Another killer Song from CC. Their songs have a sort of 'African' melody and arrangement 'feel'...which makes them unique from all other acts.

[doranoora]

This song reminds me of my childhoodyears. The 80's

[johnbrowneyes]

One of the better tracks from WUWTHOF. "The Dive" is another keeper as well.

The Medal Song
Culture Club

You used to say love and be loved all the time
'Til you discovered feelings were a failure sign
When it rains, it rains so hard
The tears begin to show
Now it's raining in my heart
I want the world to know

Life will never be the same as it was again
Life will never be the same as it was again
Through my anger and my joy, my tears and pain
Life will never be the same as it was again

Beneath the sea (c) of Hollywood where Frances used to reign
They trade their deepest wishes for a part in someone's game
Spirits die alone at night
For life they cannot hold
I would rather dance with you
Than have a medal to show

Life will never be the same as it was again
Life will never be the same as it was again
Through my anger and my joy, my tears and pain
Life will never be the same as it was again

We are just everyday people, not a theater company
Everyone wants to join us, there's no fear in us you see
It's me for you and you for me

Sun go east, sun go west
Will I wear a medal again
Sun go east, sun go west
We can dance and bring on the rain
On the rain...

Now I say love for love, not a space in time
The strangest things can shatter kings and take away what's mine
When it's raining in my heart
I want the world to know
I would rather dance with you
Than have a medal to show

Life will never be the same as it was again
Life will never be the same as it was again
Through my anger and my joy, my tears and pain
Life will never be the same as it was again

Sun go east, sun go west
Will I wear a medal again
Sun go east, sun go west
We can dance and bring on the rain
