Last Christmas Singalong
Last Christmas, I lent you my car
But the very next day, you drove it away
In tears, you couldn't get it in gear
You were picked up by the Specials
Once spliffed out and twice high
You kept your distance behind the Hyundai
Tell me baby, do you recognise me?
After all that gear it doesn't surprise me
(Happy Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "SMOKE LESS WEED", I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you're doped up now I know you'll be doped up again
Last Christmas, I lent you my car
But the very next day, you drove it away
In tears, you couldn't get it in gear
You were picked up by the Specials
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your ganja vice
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, mary jane in his head
Under the covers, you were smoking it in bed!
Oooh Oooh
Now I've found a clean love you'll never fool me again
Last Christmas, I lent you my car
But the very next day, you drove it away
In tears, you couldn't get it in gear
You were picked up by the Specials

With Kotaro (or would you prefer Kev?) on guitar and you singing these lyrics - I predict a Christmas no1.
ReplyDeleteMr P. used to do fret work at school.
ReplyDeleteAnyway this is much better than original version by Michael George and Andrew.
Kaz - It's not really Kev's thing, is it? It's probably not Kotaro's either but it sells.
ReplyDeleteMurph - So did I. I was absolutely hopeless. Wasn't it Michael George and Andrew featuring Pepsi and Coke?
((fffffft))
ReplyDeleteWo Duuude.
That was most awesome..
((cough cough))
Dude.
((fffft))
I like totally got it man.
That is like so weird MAN because the same thing happened to my Babe except she got a ride with the Dead one year and then Phish.
Merry Spliffmas!
Sterling stuff! And now I'm stuck with it as an earworm.
ReplyDeleteHE - Merry Spliffmas to you, too. Dopeheads smoking by an open fire...
ReplyDeleteLlewtrah - This was supposed to be cathartic as I keep hearing the original. It's made it ten times worse, though.
I'm fond of sex and football (although not both together unless we're consoling each other or celebrating at half time) but I'm not that keen on those Wham boys which only shows that my shakras are even more out of line than Tom's.
ReplyDeleteHo Hum
I couldn't see Wham! playing football in those shorts. Or having sex. Unless it was with each other.
ReplyDeletehow are you?
