Body Control Lyrics

[Laughter]
(Here we go!)

Haçienda
Kraftwerk
Maggie Thatcher
Paparazzi

I was there
1982
I was there
Where were you

(Here we go!)

Where were you

We were Bowie kids, glam rockers, punk rockers
The New Romantics, nowhere near the right-wing

We are not gay
Avant-garde, never fade
That's what your idea is
Sleeping all day

(Here we go!)

See Hot Since 82 Live

Get tickets as low as $92

Clubbing til the early hours
Hosing, bitching, rolling around in spilled beer

No labels
In the gutter looking up at the stars
Steve Strange, Spandau Ballet, Le Beat Route

Oh yeah, and if I told you I loved you
I was lying, that was just drama
Falling out, falling in, falling over
Leigh Bowery stage [?]

Boys kissing boys
Girls kissing boys
Boys kissing boys
Girls kissing boys
Boys kissing boys
Girls kissing boys
Everyone kissing everyone

Oh yeah, and if I told I loved you
I was lying, that was just drama
Falling out, falling in, falling over
Leigh Bowery stage [?]

(Here we go!)

I was there
I was there
Where were you
I was there
1982
I was there
Where were you

About

This song bio is unreviewed

Recovery is stunning from start to finish. Not only does it exude uplifting spirits, but it also features a slew of jaw-dropping collaborations.

The biggest stand-out is on “Body Control,” which features the iconic vocals of Boy George and production help from the world-renowned Jamie Jones. The single encapsulates the underground music culture of 1982, the year that spawned both Culture Club and the boy that went on to become Hot Since 82.
