Culture Club's "Black Money"...originally included on the 1983 album "Colour By Numbers", it wasn't released as a single until 1987.

Boy George has, in my opinion, been under-appreciated for his beautiful soulful voice. So, this is for him.

This is one song that actually showcases his talent, both as a songwriter and singer. Although Culture Club's policy was to give all band members writing credit on their songs, in his book "Take It Like A Man" he says he composed 99.9% of the songs lyrics and melodies. No matter though, cuz he said they were all about Jon Moss anyway...

(His protoge Helen Terry had some lungs on her as well - and jams on this one!)


Black Money

Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in black money
Do you deal it?


Fortunes find you, cross out every emotion
Standing right behind a shadow of devotion
Somebody else in life cannot be mine
When you love someone
And they don't love you in return
When you love someone
You've got money to burn

Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in black money
Do you deal it?

I believe that nothing could go between us
Magic potion won't you save them - the dreamers
Somebody else in life cannot be mine
When you love someone
And they don't love you in return
When you love someone
You've got money to burn

Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in black money
Do you deal it?

Gimme some love but don't waste my time (whoa black money yeah)
Love you again but you must be mine (whoa ho ho, black money yeah)
Gimme some love but don't waste my time (whoa, black money yeah)
When you love someone
And they don't love you in return
When you love someone
You've got money to burn

Do you deal in black money
Do you deal it... anytime.

Fortunes find you, cross out every emotion
Standing right behind a shadow of devotion
Somebody else in life cannot be mine
When you love someone
And they don't love you in return
When you love someone
You've got money to burn

Do you deal in black money
Do you deal in black money
Do you deal it?


Gimme some love but don't waste my time (whoa black money yeah)
I'll love you again but you must be mine (whoa ho ho, black money yeah)
Gimme some love but don't waste my time (whoa, black money yeah)

Don't waste my time... black money
Don't waste my time...

(Excellent song... )

No one wants to show the love for the Boy?
