Favourite George Michael Lyrics
Mine are from the beautiful A Different Corner.
Take me back in time, maybe I can forget Turn a different corner and we never would have met. If I could, I would I swear. |

A Different Corner.
My favourite a beautiful and under rated song. He did a live version of this on Parkinson years ago (BBC) It's worth a look. I'm not good at adding links but you'd find it easy enough. Stunning

Freedom 90
Well it looks like the road to heaven But it feels like the road to hell When you know what side your bread is buttered You take the knife as well. |

"I think I'm done with the sofa, I think I'm done with the hall, I think I'm done with the kitchen table, baby ............................. "
loved the self deprecating, unrepentant video for Outside - with him dressed as a LAPD officer waving his stick. "Just keep on funkin'" George. |

These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last Look around now These are the days of the beggars and the choosers This is the year of the hungry man whose place is in the past Hand in hand with ignorance and legitimate excuses The rich declare themselves poor And most of us are not sure if we have too much But we'll taking our chance to say I sang twenty years and a day But nothing changed The human race found some other guy And walked into the flame And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of And the wounded skies above say it's much too late Well maybe we should all be praying for time |

Mother's Pride from Listen Without Prejudice. Love all of these lyrics.
Oh she knows She takes his hand And prays the child will understand At the door they watch the men go by In the clothes that daddy wore Mother's pride Baby boy His fathers eyes He's a soldier waiting for war Time will come He'll hold a gun His father's son And as he grows He hears the band Takes the step from boy to man And at the shore she waves her son goodbye Like the man she did before Mother's pride Just a boy His country's eyes He's a soldier waving at the shore And in her heart the time has come To lose a son And all the husbands, all the sons, all the lovers gone They make no difference No difference in the end Still hear the woman say your father died a hero In the name of God and man Mother's pride Crazy boy His lifeless eyes He's a soldier now forevermore He'll hold a gun 'till kingdom come |

When you shake your ass
They notice fast And some mistakes were built to last - Freedom Well there ain't no point in moving on Until you've got somewhere to go And the road that I have walked upon Well it filled my pockets and emptied out my soul - Waiting (reprise) People, you can never change the way they feel Better let them do just what they will For they will If you let them Steal your heart - Kissing a Fool I'd say love was a magical thing I'd say love would keep us from pain Had I been there, had I been there - A Different Corner |

The whole of You Have Been Loved is beautiful
"You Have Been Loved" She takes the back road and the lane Past the school that has not changed In all this time She thinks of when the boy was young All the battles she had won Just to give him life That man She loved that man For all his life But now we meet to take him flowers And only god knows why For what's the use in pressing palms When children fade in mother's arms It's a cruel world We've so much to lose And what we have to learn, we rarely choose So if it's god who took her son He cannot be the one living in her mind Take care my love, she said Don't think that god is dead Take care my love, she said You have been loved If i was weak, forgive me But i was terrified You brushed my eyes with angels wings, full of love The kind that makes devils cry So these days My life has changed And i'll be fine But she just sits and counts the hours Searching for her crime So what's the use of pressing palms If you won't keep such love from harm It's a cruel world You've so much to prove And heaven help the ones who wait for you Well i've no daughters, i've no sons Guess i'm the only one Living in my life Take care my love, he said Don't think that god is dead Take care my love, he said You have been loved |

Jesus to a Child
With your last breath you saved my soul
You smiled at me Like jesus to a child And what have i learned From all these tears I've waited for you all those years Then just when it began He took your love away Heartbreaking |

I've had enough of danger
And people on the streets I'm looking out for angels Just trying to find some peace Now I think it's time That you let me know So if you love me Say you love me But if you don't just let me go 'Cause teacher There are things that I don't want to learn And the last one I had Made me cry So I don't want to learn to Hold you, touch you Think that you're mine Because it ain't no joy For an uptown boy Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye When you were just a stranger And I was at your feet I didn't feel the danger Now I feel the heat That look in your eyes Telling me no So you think that you love me Know that you need me I wrote the song, I know it's wrong Just let me go And teacher There are things That I don't want to learn Oh the last one I had Made me cry So I don't want to learn to Hold you, touch you Think that you're mine Because it ain't no joy For an uptown boy Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye So when you say that you need me That you'll never leave me I know you're wrong, you're not that strong Let me go And teacher There are things That I still have to learn But the one thing I have is my pride Oh so I don't want to learn Hold you, touch you Think that you're mine Because there ain't no joy For an uptown boy Who just isn't willing to try I'm so cold Inside Maybe just one more try |

Jesus to A Child
And what have I learned From all this pain I thought I'd never feel the same About anyone Or anything again But now I know When you find love When you know that it exists Then the lover that you miss Will come to you on those cold, cold nights When you've been loved When you know it holds such bliss Then the lover that you kissed Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight |

A Different Corner - Beautiful
... I have listened to those lyrics many times. I never get tired of them. Pure poetry set to music. Genius. A Different Corner George Michael I'd say love was a magical thing I'd say love would keep us from pain Had I been there, had I been there I would promise you all of my life But to lose you would cut like a knife So I don't dare, no I don't dare 'Cause I've never come close in all of these years You are the only one to stop my tears And I'm so scared, I'm so scared Take me back in time maybe I can forget Turn a different corner and we never would have met Would you care I don't understand it, for you it's a breeze Little by little you've brought me to my knees Don't you care No I've never come close in all of these years You are the only one to stop my tears I'm so scared of this love And if all that there is is this fear of being used I should go back to being lonely and confused If I could, I would, I swear |

Its not just the beautiful lyrics he wrote but how he sung these lyrics. So many people sing beautiful songs but we don't feel emotionally connected. With George we felt connected because he was honest, real and vulnerable. He was so attuned to the songs. Just watching the Palais Garnier concert and it's hard to believe he's no longer here.
