Cover art for Flawless (Go To The City) lyrics by George Michael

Flawless means complete, perfect.. etc. But.. not at all HERE. Why?

In this song, i believe George is portraying the various personalities he has/uses when he sing his music. Each person in his "apartment" is a representation of himself, of how he feels when he(us?) is(are?) working, even after working (go to the city, get it?). Or even better, at any moment.

You can see him fat, small, thin, athtletic, gorgeous, even tired after a hard day of working. Lets dance, why? why:

When he sings "Cause you're beautiful (Like no other)" It means each person has his own beauty inside.. like no other. Also tonight means everyone will see him tonight. (he'll sing). Then lets dance to show how we really are. Also, lets dance to win the harsh moments of our lives.

"And it's no good waiting by the window It's no good waiting for the sun" George is sitting at the bedroom, sofa... thinking about what he can do with what he has. Why wait? Something wrong happened so:

"Please believe me, the things you dream of They don't fall in the laps of no-one And it's no good . . . Waiting, waiting And it's no good . . . Waiting You've got to go to the city" Yes, you have to work.. go work for your dreams. I believe this is good to uplift people in general. But...

"Always the same Always the same dreams yeah yeah Always the same (yes you're movin' up) Well you've got to think of something 'Cause your job pays you nothing But you've got the things God gave you So the music may yet be your saviour"

Yeah, kind of depressive.. i think he was stuck at some phase of his life. We need to check his bio. Look at this:

"But you've got the things God gave you So the music may yet be your saviour" If this isnt about his life.. then i am crazy!

"Got to be a way, some way Got to be some way to make your way to the light (All the girls say) Got to be some way, today, today, maybe tonight, maybe tonight"

Yes, you'll find the path.

"Sometimes it brings you down Sometimes it eats you up Sometimes you think that your head's going to blow It doesn't get better . . ." I dont even have to explain the rest. This music is a kind of Self help so we can lift up ourselves to win some kind of harsh battle/moment in our lives.
