The War Song Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Juniper Prism 

Cover art for The War Song lyrics by Culture Club

I read in a music criticism book that this was the song that effectively ended Culture Club's career. It does seem a bit trite...

@Juniper Prism a bit trite is putting it TOO mildly - even compared to the intense triviality of their other 'pop' hits, this one shines dully as a beacon of destitution - it is almost a fitting epigraph on their 'glittering' career

@Juniper Prism it's not about war, it's about a couple at war, war is a metaphor for a broken relationship. There is a deeper meaning to almost all boy George's lyrics with culture club.
