Oil & WaterCulture Club

Songwriter: Boy George John Themis Martin Glover Michael Craig Roy Hay

You cry over spilt milk
You keep your tears in a jar
You think the world is gonna end tomorrow
Ain't it beautiful how different we are

You're the world's greatest chancer
Money seems to fall through your hands
Yeah your dance is beautifully wounded
No one really understands

I'll wait for God to come
And settle in my heart
Your faith is biblical
Oil and water, that's what we are
Oil and water, that's what we are

I see you move through the shadows
How can I know who you are
Watching the world from the edge of danger
From your galaxy of stars

I'll wait for God to come
And settle in my heart
Your faith is biblical
Oil and water, that's what we are
Oil and water, that's what we are

Oil and water
Oil and water
Oil and water

Now here we are now
Pathological strangers
You choose the day
I'll fall apart

Lookin' in from the outside
What can you see clearly
You and me
Oil and water, that's what we are
Oil and water, that's what we are

Oil and water
Oil and water
Oil and water

Culture Club

Culture Club is a New Wave / Pop Band from London England who are known for a string of pop hits during the 1980s. Their second album, Colour By Numbers, sold more than 10 million albums, was ranked the 96th best album of the 1980s by Rolling Stone, and contained their most famous song Karma Chameleon.

Formed in 1981 by lead singer Boy George, bassist Mikey Craig, drummer Jon Moss and guitarist Roy Hay, Culture Club was named after the diversity in ethnicity and backgrounds of it’s members. They were soon after signed to Virgin records, but it wouldn’t be until the press realized Boy George’s androgynous style, before Culture Club would take off as pop hit masters.

Culture Club sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, and had international success with songs such as “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?”, “Time (Clock of the Heart)” and “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya”.
