"Victims" is a song by English band Culture Club, released as a single in 1983 and taken from the album Colour by Numbers. As with most early Culture Club singles, the song is about lead singer Boy George's then publicly unknown and rather turbulent relationship with drummer Jon Moss. Its B-side was the then unreleased track "Colour by Numbers", which is the title of the album but not included on it. An instrumental version was also issued on the 12", renamed "Romance Revisited". Both extra tracks are now available on the 2003 remastered version of Colour by Numbers.

«Victims» es un sencillo de la banda británica Culture Club, incluido en su álbum Colour by Numbers, publicado en 1983. Como en la mayoría de los sencillos de Culture Club, la canción trata acerca de la relación entre Boy George y el baterista de la banda . Aunque la anterior sencillo Karma Chameleon había sido un gran éxito único en muchos países, Victims sólo logró ingresar en las listas musicales del Reino Unido, Irlanda, Australia y Alemania. Alcanzó el puesto # 3 en la lista de sencillos del Reino Unido. En Irlanda alcanzó el puesto # 2, y en Australia alcanzó el puesto # 4. El sencillo no fue lanzado en países como Estados Unidos, Canadá y Japón, donde lanzaron en su lugar. La discográfica Epic consideró que la canción era demasiado deprimente para editarla en un sencillo. Su cara B era la pista inédita "Colour by Numbers", canción que lleva el mismo título del álbum, pero no está incluida en él. Una versión instrumental también se publicó en el 12", renombrada como "Romance Revisited". Las dos pistas adicionales están disponibles en la versión de Colour by Numbers remasterizada en 2003. Una versión demo anterior de la canción fue lanzada y re-titulada "Shirley Temple Moment" incluida en una caja recopilatoria Culture Club lanzada en 2002. La canción es una visión sincera de las relaciones dentro de la banda, ya que argumentan difíciles situaciones entre ellos. Boy George volvió a grabar la canción como solista, en un arreglo folk y con su voz más edad, en 2002. Esa versión se puede encontrar una caja recopilatoria Culture Club lanzada ese mismo año.

"Victims" is a song by English band Culture Club, released as a single in 1983 and taken from the album Colour by Numbers. As with most early Culture Club singles, the song is about lead singer Boy George's then publicly unknown and rather turbulent relationship with drummer Jon Moss. Although the group's previous single "Karma Chameleon" had been a massive hit throughout the world, "Victims" was only issued in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, and Australia. The piano ballad peaked at #3 on the UK Singles Chart. In Ireland, it peaked at #2, and in Australia, at #4. The single was not released in the United States, Canada or Japan, where they released "Miss Me Blind" instead; reportedly, Epic felt that the song was too depressing to be a single for the US market. The orchestral overdub on this track was recorded in Studio 1 at CBS Recording Studios, London by the renowned recording engineer, Mike Ross-Trevor (assisted by Richard Hollywood) on Saturday 9 July 1983. The day earlier (on Friday 8 July), a new drum track was overdubbed by Jon Moss in Studio 1. However, this was later replaced by a new drum track for the final released version. Its B-side was the then unreleased track "Colour by Numbers", which is the title of the album but not included on it. An instrumental version was also issued on the 12", renamed "Romance Revisited". Both extra tracks are now available on the 2003 remastered version of Colour by Numbers. An early demo version of the song was released re-titled "Shirley Temple Moment" on the Culture Club box set. The track is a candid glimpse of the relationships within the band as they argue viciously amongst one another between takes, before Boy George finally walks out. It is notable also for the different lyrics which appear in the first verse: "We love and we never tell what places our hearts in the wishing well / Strange lover I've never been, but you must be strong, you must come clean / And I keep on loving you, it's the only thing to do / There are stranger things, if I do those things, I'm a puppet king for you." Boy George re-recorded the song himself as a solo artist, as a folk arrangement with piano and an orchestra, in 2002. That version can be found on the Culture Club box set that was released the same year.
