He was a light star
Tripping on a high wire
Bulldog stubborn
Born uneven
A classless creature
A man for all seasons
But don't bet them
They can't take him
To the very bottom
Because they made him
And they'll waste him
And I don't believe
That I want to watch them
'Cause the fifties shifted out of gear
He was an idol then
Now he's an idol here
But his face has changed
Oh he's not the same no more
And I have to say
That I like the way his music sounded before
He was tight-assed
Walking on broken glass
Highly prized in the wallet size
The number one crush
In a schoolgirl's eyes
But don't pretend
That it won't end
In the depth of your despair
You went from lame suits
Right down to tennis shoes
To peanuts
From the lion's share
'Cause the fifties shifted out of gear
He was an idol then
Now he's an idol here
But his face has changed
Oh he's not the same no more
And I have to say
That I like the way his music sounded before
The lyrics IDOL of GEORGE MICHAEL is also present in the album Symphonica (2014)
George Michael, all'anagrafe Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou (Londra, 25 giugno 1963 – Londra, 25 dicembre 2016), è stato un cantante britannico di musica pop, rock, soul e R and B. Con circa 100 milioni di dischi venduti, è uno degli artisti musicali britannici di maggior successo, sia in patria che all'estero. Inizialmente membro del duo pop Wham!, ha intrapreso una fortunata carriera solista nel 1987 con l'album «Faith», vincitore di due Grammy Awards negli Stati Uniti (come artista R and B, pur essendo bianco). Il disco è stato accompagnato da una tournée mondiale di grande successo. Successivamente ha pubblicato altri album come «Listen Without Prejudice, Vol. 1» e «Older». Dopo un periodo dedicato all'esecuzione dal vivo di cover di brani di altri artisti (a causa di problemi legali con la propria etichetta) e una breve crisi personale dovuta in parte a scandali legati alla sua omosessualità, è tornato alla ribalta nel 2004 con l'album «Patience». Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi figurano «Faith», «Father Figure», «Freedom! '90» e «Careless Whisper».
