Boy George meets Boy George.
The golden boy of pop [Bb] comes face to face with his waxen image [N] at Madame Tussauds.
_ [Abm] _ _ [Ab] _
_ Boy George meets the press.
Battle-scarred cynics of a thousand showbiz hypes go gaga for a picture or a quote.
_ _ [Eb] He's provocative, he's outrageous.
And best of all, for those of us who were reared on the notion that men are men [Bb] and women were put on earth to [C] prove it, he's a puzzle.
_ [F] _ One newspaper headline put it in a nutshell.
Is it a bloke?
it asked.
Another called him Mr.
or is it Miss Weirdo?
French [Abm] customs officials disputed the sex [G] stated in his passport.
On the other hand, a group of American women voted him one of the [Ab] world's most desirable bachelors.
Boy George both enjoys the confusion and grows rich in it.
He has little doubt about who or what he is.
The reason I say I'm bisexual is because, you know, when I was younger I went out with girls, I've been out with guys.
It's never been a big [Eb] deal to me.
The thing which amuses me is that I've never really, there hasn't been any time in my life where I've sat down and thought, oh my god, you know, I've been to bed with somebody from both sexes.
It's never really been that important.
It's been like eating a bag of crisps to me, you know.
There was never like a time in my life when I had a traumatic period and went, oh my god, you know, I've always kind of just did anything.
I mean, maybe that's not such a good thing for everyone, but for me it worked perfectly. _ _
It works for his fans too.
This is not so much a fan club, more a mutual admiration society.
He is fastidious in his attitude toward these devotees.
Nothing is too much trouble.
They repay his thoughtfulness with slavish adoration.
_ That's Grant.
Shafi Korset. _
[Gb] _ What is it about boy George that you particularly [D] like?
Can you tell me?
I think it's his [Gb] music, his personality and his body.
[G] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ That's Fleur, [G] Sam, Emma, [Ab] Roxanne.
Well, I like him very much because [Abm] I'm from Germany and I don't know him [N] for a long time.
And when [Ab] I saw him for the first time I was really surprised that he comes out and talks to us.
I never expected this.
_ _ _ [Gb] Debbie, Diane, _ _ Adria.
[G] And then we've gone on all the English tours, all the dates.
We went to eight countries in Europe last [Ab] year.
We're the ones that started being with them from the beginning.
And [G] what about the_
There's 12 of us altogether, but there's only three of us here today.
There's 11 of us.
There's Ida from [C] France as well.
And you won't be going to [G] Japan and Australia, I guess.
No, we [Ab] can't afford it because we're all out of work and then from following around we've all lost our jobs.
_ Shirley.
Tell me your name.
Helena.
Elizabeth Taylor with blue hair.
Totally.
Tracy. _
_ Beverly and Alison.
Beverly's at the back and that's Shirley [Gb] over there.
And that's [G] Angela.
No more.
I haven't really come to look at the dummy.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] By any standards, Boy George and Culture Club have [E] had a sudden and [F] extraordinary rise to fame.
In less than two [Ab] years, they've gone from nowhere to [N] being world stars. _
Their first big hit, You Really Want to Hurt Me, sold six million [Eb] copies.
So did their next record, [G] Karma Chameleon.
[F] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Cm] Record in dreams, record [F] in _ dreams.
[Eb]
Every day is a life [Dm] survival.
_ [Cm] You're my lover, not [Gm] my rival.
_ [Eb] Every day is a life [Dm] survival.
_ _ [Cm] You're my lover, not [Gm] my _ [F] _ rival.
Groups [Fm] like Boy George and Culture [G] Club are these superstars of the entertainment [Bb] world.
But what [F] exactly are the financial rewards they can expect to reap?
Paul [Eb] Gambaccini is pop historian and co [Dm]-editor of the Guinness Book of British hit [N] singles.
Well, we are talking in hundreds of thousands rather than hundreds.
We've got four young men who are now human oil wells.
As long as they keep pumping it out, it will be like gold.
You know, one can figure it out for themselves.
We already know that they are millionaires because they spread the money equally.
They make the same amount of money.
So they are each a millionaire.
I think it's safe to say that they'll have at least another million within at least another year.
And now they've renegotiated their contract with Virgin.
They're going to have much better terms than they originally signed on.
So I think we have the possibility of four men going into the sting class, sting of police,
who we know is worth at least about, oh, ten million.
So although it doesn't pay like Elton, who was a solo artist and got a higher royalty
and hence really went into mega pounds,
nonetheless, we're looking for guys who can well afford the cost of a taxi cab ride.
So Boy George is rich and going to get richer.
What separates him from the normal simple [Ab] success story of pop,
what gives him an extra dimension, is what he's come to symbolize here in Britain.
If you've been thinking, thank God there's only one of him, then think again.
All over Britain, here in London, there are kids who, having taken their leave from Boy George,
[Gm] now make him look positively plain.
[Abm] Hang on to your hats.
You ain't seen nothing yet. _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
[Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I'll stumble for you, I'll stumble for you, [Ab] I'll stumble for you, I'll stumble.
[Eb] I'll stumble for you.
It's like the natives use that conjunction, [F] function.
The boy with pockets [Ebm] and a, did he say maybe?
Or I'm not sure.
He'll be a boy for [Ab] you, but you need more.
I'll stumble [Db] for you, I'll stumble for you, I'll stumble for you, I'll stumble for you.
[G] I'll stumble for you.
His members created his own [N] lifestyle, his
