Posters On My Bedroom Wall

Culture club, Kajagoogoo and Wham Just a few of those staring lifeless from my walls As I sit petrified on my bed With you standing threatening over me No songs they've sung Can absorb all that every word you say burns But as they witness all you do to me Less alone my mind bleeds Once your gone From his picture Boy George holds me for a second He turns to say There is a strength from not being the same Tracy Ulman Teams with Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders They hold my hand and lead me from every thing you do To a sanctuary filled with life and laughter As you hide the evidence Of your latest unpredictable rage George Michael gently whispers It does not have to be this way Paul Young's reassurance That what you do is not uncommon Though very well intentioned Doesn't help at all Annie Lennox holds me in her arms Shows me sweet dreams that help keep me alive With every word she sings to me Less and less the words you try to destroy me with I hear Posters on my bedroom wall Of people who don't know me at all As they stood before the magazine shoot They had no idea what their image would view
