Boy George - Sold (Custom video)

Boy George - Sold

The song is from Boy George´s first solo album Sold 1987 (Virgin). It's highest position in UK chart was #24. This is a fan made video to celebrate this wonderful song. I do not own copyrights to music, lyrics, images from television performance, logos, typography or any other original and possibly copyright protected concepts. Please notice that the song is commercially available (originally on Sold -album and also as a digital download). Feel free to purchase the song in high quality and respect the artists and the holders of legal rights.

The record sleeve for Sold was produced by Malcolm Garrett for Assorted iMaGes. It was yet another uniquely and beautifully taylored graphical masterpiece. A true gem of it's era. Together with wardrope (Boy London Clothing), photography, styling and make-up the general appeal and design of the whole package was hugely influential, strong and provocative but still widely commercially accepted. Boy George was yet again an ingenious trend setter.

Lyrics:
Last night my mother said to me
I'm sick of making history
There's got to be another way
But we've got all these bills to pay
And they ain't just gonna go away
Like a factory - about to be shut down
Another factory - about to be shut down
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
You're gonna like this one, i do See if Mr. Botha was a man
He'd tip the hat, he'd pass the can
But he don't talk for you and me
I saw him on the BBC
His eyes looked like a factory
About to be shut down
His eyes looked like a factory
With the lights out - about to be shut down
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Last night my mother said to me
I'm sick of making history
There's got to be a better way
For you to be
Last night my mother said to me
i'm sick of making history
there's got to be another way for you to be
When you grow up what will you be
If not the white minority
At least protect me
I'm not a factory about to be shut down
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - did you hear it? - I'm sold
Sold - There's got to be a better way than this

Words & music: O'Dowd, Martin, Dozier.

ボーイジョージ 。
ソロ活動を開始し、1987年にアルバム「Sold」をリリース。
アルバムに先駆けてリリースしたシングル「エヴリシング・アイ・オウン」(ブレッドのカヴァー)が全英第1位になった87年のファースト・ソロ。優しい彼の歌声がせつなくて良いです。
