Put It Down
Boy George · Other Songs - Boy George
Put it down, they move this town,
They follow with their eyes
Ice cold kisses, fierce surprise
A good, a good disguise
Is all you need to bleed a situation
You know
Pull it back and put on attack
Admission in your eyes
Ice cold kisses compromise
A good, a good disguise
Is all you need to bleed a situation
Let go
Put it down they move this town
They follow with their eyes
Ice cold kisses terrorise
A good, a good disguise
Is all you need to bleed a situation
(I could pull it with a bullet) Down in seven, shine a light boy
(I could pull it with a bullet) What a wasted revolution
(I could pull it with a bullet) I'm a white boy, need confusion
(I could pull it with a bullet) We're all out together, together forever
Put it down, they move this town,
They follow with their eyes
Ice cold kisses, fierce surprise
A good, a good disguise
Is all you need to bleed a situation
(I could pull it with a bullet) Down in seven, shine a light boy
(I could pull it with a bullet) What a wasted revolution
(I could pull it with a bullet) I'm a white boy, need confusion
(I could pull it with a bullet) We're all out together, together forever

As a standalone recording, it reflects the era's fascination with personal expression and the lingering influence of punk rock on mainstream pop. The track remains a staple of his catalog, often cited as a key example of his ability to merge theatrical performance with accessible songwriting.
