Once bitten, twice shy

青澀的年歲，美好的回憶。

Wham! Wham!，就是如此難忘的回憶。縱然單飛後的 George Michael 仍然令人著迷，且多了份人文深度，但，Wham! 時代那種單純的動感，青澀的風格，已承載著當時自己的經歷及情感，過去了，只待追憶。

喔！Careless Whisper…

回憶只選擇最美的一頁。

其中，Last Christmas 這首歌，每到年終，廣播，電視，街頭，總會一再翻開這一頁 ── 雖然 “Christmas” 一詞是虛。

今年，今天，這一秒，這一頁，不勞他們，我自己就先翻開來了。

客體，是同樣的一頁。

往昔，哼哼唱唱，沉醉於旋律歌喉之際，亦帶著一絲學習英語的動機。至於歌詞，除了將一些片語、連語、someone 的形容詞位置、直接受詞間接受詞位置予以朗朗上口熟記之外，對考試最有用的，就屬其中的 “Once bitten, twice shy” 諺語了：「一朝被蛇咬。」精簡，對稱，有力。

至於歌詞意境？大概只知道這是首意外重逢、內心掙扎的曲子吧。

客體，是同樣的一頁；主體，卻已不同。

Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on…

明年，後年，大後年\r
主體
又會是怎生面目……\r

憑誰問？

Last Christmas

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 eyes
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 kiss 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
Someone
I’ll give it to someone,
I’ll give it to someone special
    who’ll give me something in return
I’ll give it to someone
    hold my heart and watch it burn
I’ll give it to someone, I’ll give it to someone special

I’ve got you here to stay
I can love you for a day
I thought you were someone special,
    gave you my heart
I’ll give it to someone, I’ll give it to someone
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
    you gave it away
I’ll give it to someone, I’ll give it to someone
