Boy George was in the band Culture Club. He is gay (you didn't know - gasps) and was having a secret affair with the drummer of the band. So the song is about that:
I listen to YOUR lies would YOU say
I'm a MAN without conviction
I'm a MAN who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
Would YOU say that I'm a MAN....
The affair is secret so the lover is angry that he would be "outted".
He came and went - could not make up his mind = contradiction.
Love would be easy is you let your true colors shine through. The way you are with me (when they are together but also in his dreams). But your FEAR makes it very difficult. They fight (rival) over this.
I think green just happens to rhyme with dream... no importance.
you are right. Up until the red gold and green.The colors are important.Boy George was very fond of the Jamacan/African culture in England.Look at his style of dress and listen the beats to some of his songs.The colors were like his "dreams"symbolizes the acceptance and comfort that he felt within that black community.As opposed to the prudish European community."Lovin' would be easy" if Jon were apart of England's black community simply because of their then seemingly more liberal views.
