Boy George (born George Alan O'Dowd; 14 June 1961) is an English singer, songwriter, DJ and fashion designer. He is the lead singer of the Grammy and Brit Award-winning pop band Culture Club. At the height of the band's fame, during the 1980s, they recorded global hit songs such as "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me", "Time (Clock of the Heart)" and "Karma Chameleon" and George is known for his soulful voice and androgynous appearance. He was part of the English New Romantic movement which emerged in the late 1970s to the early 1980s.
His music is often classified as blue-eyed soul, which is influenced by rhythm and blues and reggae. He was lead singer of Jesus Loves You during the period 1989–1992. His 1990s and 2000s-era solo music hás glam influences, such as David Bowie and Iggy Pop. More recently, he has released fewer music recordings, splitting his time between songwriting, DJing, writing books, designing clothes, and photography. In 2015, Boy George received na Ivor Novello Award from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors for Outstanding Services to British Music.
This Is What I Do is a 2013 album by Boy George, produced by Richie Stevens. With this release, it was the first time since the mid-1990s that a sober George had taken the time to complete a full-length album. It gained positive reviews, with The Guardian calling it "the best comeback of the year". It was Boy George's first solo album to reach the UK Top 40 since his 1987 debut Sold.
Three songs, with videos, were selected as promotional tracks for the album; "King of Everything", "My God" and "Nice and Slow".
To promote the album, George undertook a UK tour in November 2013 featuring support from self-styled "Flock Rock" band The Featherz, whose lead singer/guitarist Danie Cox appeared in the videos for "King of Everything", "My God" and non-album single "I'm Coming Home". A further tour took place in April 2014.
Everybody knew the boy was strange
The raised him in whispers
Oh how they prayed
The demons would go away
His daddy was cruel
He tried to meme him tough
Always afraid to give him too much love
Too much love

Running running running
What a waste of time
No-one you can be but your good self
Bigotry & hatred
And too much lies

Now it’s time to live your life
Ain’t no second chance
You can’t rewind, no, no
You can’t rewind

Everybody said the boy will change
Many years are gone but the truth remains
The truth remains

Running running running
What a waste of time
No-one you can be but your good self
Bigotry & hatred
And too much lies

Now it’s time to live your life
Ain’t no second chance
You can’t rewind
You can’t rewind.
