Peculiar World
Boy George · Other Songs - Boy George
Always lied about your past and covered up the rest
I met you at a moment when, you forgot yourself
Sail on, I said, sail on
What do you get when you enter this world?
You get what you deserve
What do you get when you enter this world?
You get what you deserve
In this peculiar world (when I met you)
In this peculiar world (when I met you)
In this peculiar world
In this peculiar world (yes)
Of all the forgotten heroes, you remain so fit
A challenge to my self-respect but no challenge to my wit
I met you at a moment when, you could take a risk
Shine on, I said, shine on
What do you get when you enter this world?
You get what you deserve
What do you get when you enter this world?
You get what you deserve
In this peculiar world (when I met you)
In this peculiar world (when I met you)
In this peculiar world
In this peculiar world (yeah... yeah)
(shine on)
What do you get when you enter this world?
You get what you deserve
What do you get when you enter this world?
You get what you deserve
In this peculiar world (when I met you)
In this peculiar world (when I met you)
In this peculiar world
In this peculiar world
What do you get when you enter this world?
You get what you deserve
What do you get when you enter this world?
You get what you deserve
In this peculiar world (when I met you)
In this peculiar world (when I met you)
In this peculiar world
In this peculiar world
Peculiar World
Boy George's "Peculiar World" stands as a defining track from his 1987 solo debut, "Sold," capturing the post-punk and new wave energy that characterized his early career. Released during a pivotal era for alternative rock, the song showcases George's distinctive vocal style and songwriting, blending melancholic themes with a driving rhythm that became a staple of the genre. As a key component of his solo discography, it reflects the artistic transition from his work with Culture Club while maintaining the emotional intensity that defined his public musical identity. The recording remains a significant song in his catalogue, illustrating the enduring influence of late 1980s British music on subsequent generations of artists.
