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 recognize 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

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

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 under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

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

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover buy you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special.

that's actually one of the few holiday songs I never get tired of hearing...

I still love Wham! to this day.

This is my fave.


You try my patience
Your tongue - it's like a razor
You choose your words like weapons
Here we go - Battlestations

I never have the guts to let you look inside
I don't think you'd appreciate the things that I hide

CHORUS:
Monday was the worst day
And Friday wasn't my day
But Wednesday was the best day
Because on Wednesday night we made love
All I'm trying to give you is a good time honey
Why d'ya have to keep on playing games with my head
Used to be your baby when you had no money
Now we spend more time in battle
Than we ever do in bed
(Than we ever do in bed)

You don't know how much I hate that answer phone
Are you standing there?
But - you won't pick up the 'phone
Why lie to my face?
(When you can buy a tape machine to give me bullshit in your place)

Today I did something I thought I'd never do
I opened up your diary and read about you

CHORUS

Monday was the worst day
Wednesday we made love
And Friday - ooh but -
Saturday, is today, is what I'm thinking of
Come in baby- come in close
(Take off your designer clothes)
'Cos you know what I'm thinking of
Do you remember me, do you remember us -
Do you remember love?

All I'm trying to give you is a good time honey
Why d'ya have to keep on playing games with my head
Used to be your baby when you had no money
Now we spend more time in battle
Than we ever do in bed
(Than we ever do in bed)

La premiere fois tu m'as fait beaucoup rire
Tu etais si mignon, et tu jouais du piano
Maintenant, mon mellieur ami c'est l'argent
Au revoir, cheri
Au revoir, mon amour

I think Soulwax covered it too... with a bunch of other musicians
A very nice version, better than the original

I have a Jimmy Eat World cover of it that I really like (and put on my Holiday Mix since it "fit" better"). But I like Wham's original best

And they say in 15 more years it'll be a classic. I recall GM talking about the song "it'll have christmas bells and all"

madartista said:

You know...I wonder if this was one of their "fantasies" being played out. You know Andrew was such the bottom!

superspaceboy said:

I can't believe some people really didn't believe George was gay back in the day. Cracks me up!!!

And I forgot to sasy earlier that I LOVE to karaoke this song.

if people couldn't tell by that pic...

this song, it is so catchy.

madartista said:

Have you ever heard the David Spade comedy where when he was younger he didn't know bands were gay?

(I transcribed the part ):

Growing up back in the day I think Queen was my favorite band. They were hot. You know what’s funny is I didn’t know bands were gay growing up you know? You have no concept of that as a kid.

Like my favorite band, and like my mom liked Liberace. I had no idea.
I liked Elton John. No idea.

Queen. Queen was actually helping you out. They were throwing some hints too. They weren’t hiding. First of all, name’s Queen. That’s where 90% of the country checked in on that one. Not me. I was “cool name”. Secondly, their songs are about making out with guys. Didn’t bother me. They wore buttless chaps in concert. I was like “those guys get a lot of pussy”. Um, they really don’t. My friend told me I was like “what?” It’s not true ‘cause I saw them in concert and he grabbed the other guy and he…uh-uh, you mean he wasn’t pretending that that was a…

Wham, no idea. I’m in the dark gang, I don’t know. I found out like a month ago. I just thought they were a couple of good looking guys. You know with florescent lipstick. But if I go back and listen to those songs I can tell. You can tell, just listen to the words. Like that one song Gitterbug. Gitterbug (snap, snap, snap) Gitterbug (snap, snap, snap) you put your ball sack into my mouth. . .

Gitterbug. Gitterbug (snap, snap, snap) Gitterbug (snap, snap, snap) you put your ball sack into my mouth. . .[/b][/quote]






You made my day.....I needed that.

I have always proclaimed and will continue to do so that Wham! is the past pop group of the lat quarter century.

Now with that I will go climb back down to my bomb shelter.

I love this song...especially this part:


Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize 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

Oh, I love "Battlestations." I love the answering machine in the beginning.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

I should send you a copy of the MP3 (I ripped just that part for a mix I made my cousin). The whole routine just makes me giggle. We quote "no idea" quite frequently

Case said:

And that laugh at the end....quite sexy if I do say so myself. I really don't know why it wasn't a big big hit at the time. It was really funky.
