Wham - Careless Whisper

 

1960년대 비틀즈 이후, 빌보드시장에 다시 영국팝의 재침공이 시작되었다. 1984년 등장했던 영국의 듀오 Wham의 Careless Whisper는 당시 빅히트를 기록하게 되면서, 그들의 존재를 전세계적으로 알리게 된다. 조지 마이클과 앤드류 리즐리로 구성된 Wham은 1983년 1집 앨범 [Fantastic]로 데뷔하는데, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, Careless Whisper, Everything She Wants를 빌보드 넘버원 히트송으로, Freedom, I'm Your Man 등을 빌보드 3위까지 진입시키는 쾌거를 이루게 된다.

 

I feel so unsure as I take your hand an lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen and you're its sad goodbye

I'm never gonna dance again guilty feet have got no rhythm

 

Though it's easy to pretend I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend

And waste a chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again the way I danced with you

Time can never mend the careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth pain is all you'll find
I'm never gonna dance again guilty feet have got no rhythm

 

Never without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way

 

We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together

We could have lived this dance forever

 

But now who's gonna dance with me? - Please stay
And I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm

 

No dance
no dance
no dance
you're gone - no dance
you're gone
This matter is so wrong
so wrong
that you had lo leave me alone
