George Michael Quotes About Songs

Quotes about: Songs

• So you scream from behind your door, say what's mine is mine, and not yours
  I may have too much, but I'll take my chances
  Cause God's stopped keeping score
  And you cling to the things they sold you
  Didn't you cover your eyes when they told you that he can't come back
  Cause he has no children to come back for
  It so hard to learn, there's so much to hate
  Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of
  And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
  So maybe we should all be praying for time

  Song, Children, Hate

• [Music From the Edge of Heaven] wasn't really an album at all. The band had made the decision to release an LP and then split up.

But we couldn't do that over here because we couldn't release a single without an album.
