Last Christmas by Wham!

第一次聽這首歌應該是國二的聖誕節前夕,當時的國中生其實談不上什麼過節
雖然當時行憲紀念日有放假,好像還是要去學校考試,
不過等公車旁的唱片行不停的放,不知不覺這首歌似乎成了我覺得好像聖誕節一定要有的歌曲
對中學生來說這種帶有戀愛傷痕的應景歌曲,也許比起其他的聖誕歌曲更有情感的感染力吧

"Last Christmas" by wham!

Chorus:
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognise me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

Chorus

(Oooh. Oooh Baby)

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Oooh Oooh
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Chorus

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
(Gave you my heart)
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Next year
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
special
someone

過了數不清的聖誕節(其實是不想算清楚),George Michael的聲音還是充滿渲染力
每次有人重唱這首歌或是"Careless Whisper",總不免在心裡嘀咕還是沒有原唱的味道
抱歉,Andrew Ridgeley最後還是被忽略了
不過根據Wiki的記載Andrew在之後的人生過得十分順遂
遠離鎂光燈,生意做得不錯,而且是個環保人士

聖誕節應個景,大家再回味一下"Last Christmas"吧!!!
也祝我所有的朋友聖誕快樂!!!
