Sobre el álbum

El álbum Don't Mind If I Do, de 1999, marca el esperado regreso de la formación original de Culture Club después de más de una década de separación. El disco fue recibido con una gran expectación y nostalgia por parte de los fans de todo el mundo. El álbum demuestra que la química musical entre los cuatro miembros seguía intacta, pero con una perspectiva de madurez.

El sonido del disco es una actualización del estilo característico de la banda. Culture Club mantiene su fusión de pop, soul y reggae, pero con una producción más moderna y adaptada a finales de los 90. El álbum suena a la vez familiar y fresco.

El disco contiene el exitoso sencillo "I Just Wanna Be Loved", una canción que recupera la esencia del blue-eyed soul de la banda y que tuvo una gran acogida en las listas británicas. La voz de Boy George suena más grave y reposada, pero no ha perdido ni un ápice de su calidez y su capacidad para emocionar.

Las letras reflejan la perspectiva de unos artistas que han vivido y que miran al pasado con una mezcla de cariño y sabiduría. 'Don't Mind If I Do' es un regreso muy digno y de una gran calidad, un trabajo que demostró que la magia de Culture Club era atemporal.

  3. Your Kisses Are Charity

    Letra

    Last night you breathed the deepest sigh Turned away with those cold cool eyes You said won't you give me space to breathe And my tears gave it confidence to leave Now you say I'm just to much for you There are things you'll never know If you lie and cheat so easily You'd better go Go go go yeah All I know is how I feel And my heart was always yours to steal But you take and never give to me Your kisses are charity Your kisses are charity Yesterday you were my brightest star But even when you're near I don't know where you are I was wrong to show my weaker side Now it's much too late to cry cry cry I was blind to put my trust in you If you leave me I'll fall apart Did you plan to make a fool out of me From the start Yeah yeah yeah All I know is how I feel And my heart was always yours to steal But you take and never give to me Your kisses are charity Your kisses are charity Now you say I'm too much for you There are things you'll never know If you lie and cheat so easily You'd better go Go go go yeah All I know is how I feel And my heart was always yours to steal But you take and never give to me Your kisses are charity Your kisses are charity

    Letra

    Watching the stars on Primrose Hill The moon is high and the city is still I came here to escape the chill Of your cold shoulder Evil sometimes the things you say If you really wish I would just go away Then why do you cry Like a little child All your world that's what you say I am I'm working so hard to be a better man You know I'll never ever lie, never play those games with my mind You'll be the loser, you might find Questions lead to answers in time While you're so cold, so cold inside Remember that fight in Amsterdam When I made you cry 'cause I know I can? You could not escape the chill Of my cold, cold shoulder All your world that's what you say I am I'm working so hard to be a better man You know I'll never ever lie, never play those games with my mind You'll be the loser, you might find Questions lead to answers in time While you're so cold I know you're hurting inside Want someone to pay for the tears you cry Ain't gonna be me, not this time Never lie, never play those games with my mind You'll be the loser, you might find Questions lead to answers in time While you're so cold, so cold inside Never play those games with my mind You'll be the loser, you might find Questions lead to answers in time While you're so cold, so cold inside I know you're hurting I'm hurting too But I don't want to hurt you 'Cause I love you But my head says 'not this time'

  14. Fat Cat

    Letra

    Another song of woe Woe sounds like this You say nothing's changed, where were you when my world Was spinning into masquerade You claim it's just a question of mathematics I shut the door on your amateur dramatics Then you think too much And you talk too much, vicariously Yeah you think too much And you talk too much Every word is substance free You're the dirt on my collar You're the hole in my favourite shoe You're the last dying breath of love You're the weight that I need to lose And you hurt yourself You say I'm deranged, I'll admit to being strange But I just can't stop loving you If the light in your eyes Addiction came as a surprise Didn't think I'd be so into you Then you think too much And you talk too much, so carelessly Yeah you think too much And you talk too much Every word is substance free You're the dirt on my collar You're the hole in my favourite shoe You're the last dying breath of love You're the weight that I need to lose You're the dirt on my collar You're the hole in my favourite shoe You're the last, last dying breath of love You're the weight that I need to lose You're the dirt on my collar You're the hole in my favourite shoe You're the last dying breath of love You're the weight that I need to lose

    Letra

    I know a song ain't good enough to let you know how I feel I'll sing it hard, I'll sing it sweet, to let you know that it's real If I change my attitude, maybe I can conquer you completely All the things I say and do, everything I learn from you defeats me And I let you down I let you down I let you down I let you down I know it's wrong to blame the past for everything that I do I fool the world most of the time but there's no fooling you If I change my attitude, maybe I can conquer you completely Everything I say and do, all I learn from you defeat me And I let you down I let you down I let you down I let you down I let you down Let you down What you see ain't always what you get No matter how clear it seems One minute lovers, then the next Oh oh no Oh no I let you down, yeah yeah I let you down [Repeat: x5] Let you down Let you down
