"Freedom '90"
I won't let you down I will not give you up Gotta have some faith in the sound It's the one good thing that i've got I won't let you down So please don't give me up Because i would really, really love to stick around
Heaven knows i was just a young boy Didn't know what i wanted to be I was every little hungry schoolgirls pride and joy And i guess it was enough for me To win the race? A prettier face! Brand new clothes and a big fat place On your rock and roll tv But today the way i play the game is not the same No way Think i'm gonna get me some happy I think there's something you should know I think it's time i told you so There's something deep inside of me There's someone else i've got to be Take back your picture in a frame Take back your singing in the rain I just hope you understand Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
All we have to do now Is take these ties and make them true somehow All we have to see Is that i don't belong to you And you don't belong to me Freedom You've gotta give for what you rake Freedom You've gotta give for what you take Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy
What a kick just a buddy and me We had every big-shot goodtime band on the run boy We were living in a fantasy We won the race Got out of the place I went back home got a brand new face For the boys on mtv But today the way i play the game has got to change Oh yeah Now i'm gonna get myself happy
^^ those lyrics are pretty specifically about George leaving his Wham image behind. he doesn't want to be a Pop act - he wants to be someone else.
is that someone else gay? the lyrics don't require that reading but they lend themselves to it.
