Cowboys and Angels Lyrics
Monkey see and monkey do
Their wish is your command
Not to blame
Everyone's the same
I should know by now the way I fought for you
You're not to blame, everyone's the same
Mister
Harmless deception
That keeps love at bay
It's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss
Wouldn't you say?
They all have the time for you
Why should I imagine that I'd be a find for you
Why should I imagine
That I'd have something to say
That beautiful face of yours
In your heart there's a trace
Of someone before
Things you say and things you do
That they don't understand
You're not to blame
Always ends the same
You should know by now
I'm not the boy for you
You're not to blame
Always ends the same
Sister
Harmless affection that keeps things this way
It's the ones who persist for the sake of a kiss
Who will pay and pay
Cowboys and angels
They all have the time for you
Why should I imagine that I was designed for you
Why should I believe
That you would stay
That beautiful face of yours
Don't you think that I'd know
They've hurt you, before
Maybe his hands can help you forget
Please be stronger than your past
The future may still give you a chance
The future, the future, not the past
That beautiful face of yours
Don't you think that I know
They hurt you before

this is without any doubt my favorite george michael song. i care about the musical content of it first of all to say, rather thatn the words. yet, the thing is that i never listen to his songs (and infact couldn't)as it were written towards a gay. what he says is valid for any type of relation. you have the gooddies and baddies in your relations and so you become one as well. but life goes on and you get to have another chance and nothing is unforgettable and as he says for
everyone ıt becomes the same rıtual
This song is about a love triangle George Michael was in with Kathy Jeung and a guy
The songwriter is involved with someone who won't commit. He has fought for this person, and that only makes him more determined to win that person's affection. Ultimately the songwriter knows his fate: "It's the ones who persist ... who will pay."
Eltonfan is correct, George was in love with Brad Branson (who died in 2012) photographer and friend of Kathy's. She was in love with George, but he was hopelessly in love with Brad who in turn did not love George, but was happy to be his lover. Brad also had lots of other lovers at the same time.
George said in an interview, that this song is about a love triangle when he was perused by a woman while he was madly in love with a man. None of this came to anything, but at least he got a song out of it in the end. He also added that no one ever guesses this meaning behind the song and that he found it quite entertaining.
This is such a beautiful song...... this is about Winning and losing in love and this is George’s narrative of It ........It’s the ones who resist who we most want to kiss ....... it’s the ones who persist for the sake of a kiss who will pay. So for a healthy relationship don’t sell your soul or give up ur integrity or your view to please ur partner.
