From Luxury to Heartache
From Luxury to Heartache Lyrics
Oh yeah
Oh luxury and heartache
Oh yeah
I won't be coming home tomorrow
Nobody there to catch my tears
I won't be leaving tears of sorrow anymore
I played that game for so many years
If i cry, will you catch my fall
Do you want me to be the same
If i cry, will you catch my fall
Am I playing the loser's game?
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way to find that you were mourning
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way you gave me little warning
She will be there to give you children, yes she will
She will be there to make you sing, sing, sing
I won't be standing in the shadows anymore
I learned to cover up my pain
If i cry will you catch my fall
Do you want me to be the same
If i cry will you catch my fall
Am I playing the loser's game?
Such a long way to find that you were mourning
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way you gave me little warning
Gave me love
You gave your love to me
You gave me love
But it's not enough for me
Oh luxury
But all you give me is pain
Again and again
Luxury is sweet and so cool
If i cry will you catch my fall
Do you want me to be the same
If i cry will you catch my fall
Am I playing the loser's game?
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way to find that you were mourning
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way you gave me little warning
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way to find that you were mourning
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way you gave me, gave me no warning
About
The name “From luxury to heartache” explains the start and end of a relationship. Luxury refers to how romantic or “luxurious” the the relationship starts off as. But heartache obviously refers to what It feels like when that romanticism starts disappearing and the relationship starts decaying. Now I have two theories on who/what Boy George wrote this song about, one more plausible theory is that it’s about his relationship with Culture Club Drummer John Moss. My other theory is that it’s about George’s relationship with Kirk Brandon. Regardless the song deals with the fact that he can’t have the person he loves because they are either straight, or they can’t admit that they are homosexual/bisexual.
