Letter To Schoolfriend
Boy George · Other Songs - Boy George
I read your letter and I wept inside
You and me were so much alive
So much pain so many tears to hide
But I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
Your mother rejected you and your brother died
and your old man had such brutal pride
he just couldn't take your sensitive side
But I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
I hope your happy
I read your letter and I laughed out loud
You were crazy then and you're still crazy now
A schoolgirl rebel not some face in the crowd
But I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
Your daddy was cruel you mothers spirit was free
She left you alone to go and dance on the beach
Yeah and we were the freaks who they could not teach
But I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
I hope your happy
I wish you love cos your heart is pure
From the hell of school to the closet door
They said we were fools but we need so much more yeh yeh
I hope your happy now
I read your letter and I wept inside
You and me were so much alive
So much pain so many tears to hide
But I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy
Yes I hope your happy now
I hope your happy
Yes I hope your happy now
Hope your happy
Hope your happy now
You and me were so much alive
So much pain so many tears to hide
But I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
Your mother rejected you and your brother died
and your old man had such brutal pride
he just couldn't take your sensitive side
But I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
I hope your happy
I read your letter and I laughed out loud
You were crazy then and you're still crazy now
A schoolgirl rebel not some face in the crowd
But I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
Your daddy was cruel you mothers spirit was free
She left you alone to go and dance on the beach
Yeah and we were the freaks who they could not teach
But I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
I hope your happy
I wish you love cos your heart is pure
From the hell of school to the closet door
They said we were fools but we need so much more yeh yeh
I hope your happy now
I read your letter and I wept inside
You and me were so much alive
So much pain so many tears to hide
But I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy
Yes I hope your happy now
I hope your happy
Yes I hope your happy now
Hope your happy
Hope your happy now
