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
His best song as far as I'm concerned, this should be the one that is re released in his memory.

Andrew Ridgeley has spoken out and has suggested Amazing should be re-released in his memory rather than Careless Whisper.

It's a difficult choice-George has many amazing songs in his catalogue; I wonder what he'd choose himself?

Since his passing I've listened non-stop to his work. I never really noticed before but some of his tracks... you can hear the sadness in his voice.

Amazing is all about the joys of his open relationship with Kenny Goss; not sure the British public is ready for that yet. I think A Different Corner should be re-released if anything's going to be.

Amazing

I was going down for the third time
My heart was broken, I was not open to your suggestions
I had so many questions
That you just kissed away

Tell me, I guess that cupid was in disguise
The day you walked in and changed my life
I think it's amazing,
The way that love can set you free

So now I walk in the midday sun
I never thought that my saviour would come
I think it's amazing
I think it's amazing

I think you're amazing

You tried to save me from myself
Said 'Darling ,kiss as many as you want!
My love's still available
And I know you're insatiable'

Best George Michael song ever for me, so these are the lyrics that stuck;


When your heart's in someone else's hands
Monkey see and monkey do
Their wish is your command
You're not to blame
Everyone's the same

All you do is love and love is all you do
I should know by now the way I fought for you
You're not to blame
Everyone's the same

I know you think that you're safe mister
Harmless deception
That keeps love at bay
It's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss
Wouldn't you say'

Cowboys and angels
They all have the time for you
Why should I imagine that I'd be a find for you
Why should I imagine
That I'd have something to say

But that scar on your face
That beautiful face of yours
In your heart there's a trace of someone before

When your hearts in someone else's plans
Things you say and things you do
They don't understand
It's such a shame
Always ends the same

You can call it love but I don't think it's true
You should know by now
I'm not the boy for you
You're not to blame
Always ends the same

I know you think that you're safe sister
Harmless affection
That keeps things this way
It's the ones who persist for the sake of a kiss
Who will pay

Cowboys and angels
They all take a shine to you
Why should I imagine that I was designed for you
Why should I believe
That you would stay

But that scar on your face
That beautiful face of yours
Don't you think that I know
They've hurt you before

Take this man to your bed
Maybe his hands will help you forget
Please be stronger than your past
The future may still give you a chance

Waiting for the Day

So every day I see you in some other face
They crack a smile, talk a while
Try to take your place
My memory serves me far too well


I just sit here on this mountain thinking to myself
You're a fool boy
Why don't you go down
Find somebody
Find somebody else
My memory serves me far too well


It's not as though we just broke up
It's not as though it was yesterday
But something I just can't explain
Something in me needs this pain
I know I'll never see your face again


C'mon now
I've got to be strong now


Now everybody's talking about this new decade
Like you say the magic numbers
Then just say goodbye to
The stupid mistakes you made
Oh my memory serves me far too well


Don't you know that
The years will come and go
Some of us will change our lives
Some of us still have nothing to show
Nothing baby
But memories


And if these wounds
They are self-inflicted
I don't really know
How my poor heart could have protected me
But if I have to carry this pain
If you will not share the blame
I deserve to see your face again


C'mon now
You don't have to be so strong now
Come back


Come back to me darling
I will make it worth your while
Come back to your baby
I miss your kiss
I miss your smile
Seems to me the peace I search to find
Ain't going to be mine until you say you will
Don't you keep me waiting for that day
I know, I know, I know
You hear these words that I say


You can't always get what you want.

My favourite song too. Profound and lyrics very relevant in today's world. Bit in bold though, what are those lyrics? Did he do a different version or something? On the original 1990 single and LWP album the lyrics are: "...but we'll take our chances 'cos God's stopped keeping score. I guess somewhere along the way he must have let us all out to play, turned his back and all God's children crept out the back door..."

The lyrics to:

One More Try;

Kissing A Fool;

You Have Been Loved:

Praying for Time;

In fact, I could go on. Poetry in song.

But for a single line: 'Guilty feet, have got no rhythm'...

For me, this is a very tough one to choose. He had so many beautiful heartbreaking emotive ones to choose from.

"There's something there that can't compare, with any other" - Kissing a fool.

For me those lyrics sum up the fantastically talented gorgeous man that he was, because IMVHO, nobody does compare.

It annoys me greatly that nowhere in any of the charts he is number one.

For those people that haven't listened to his wonderful work, you are truly missing out.

I always find the lyrics to Monkey fit in to some scenarios in life, and correct me if i am wrong deals with addiction, with the 'monkey' being the addiction;

Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving in to it -
Do you love the monkey or do you love me?
Why can't you do it
Why do i have to share my baby with a monkey?

Oh i hate your friends
But i don't know how and i don't know when
To open your eyes
Yes the monkey's back again
Do you want him now like you did back then?
I tried my best
But your head is such a mess
So i guess that i don't want you anymore

Well you say you care about me
That you just can't do without me
But you keep on dancin' baby
'Til that monkey has you on the floor

In the absence of security
Made my way into the night
Stupid cupid keeps on calling me
But I see nothing in his eyes
I miss my baby, oh yeah
I miss my baby, tonight
So why don't we make a little room
In my BMW babe
Searchin' for some peace of mind
Hey, I'll help you find it
I do believe that we are practicing the same religion

(Fastlove)
