Father Figure
Publié le 12 Mai 2008
Proposé par Wilfried :
Le single est sorti en Décembre 1987 avec en face B "Love's in need of love today" la reprise de Stevie Wonder. Il a été
classé n°1 dans les charts US, 11éme en Grande Bretagne, 3éme au Canada et 5éme en Australie.
Dans le clip, George Michael joue un chauffeur de taxi à New York, trés trés sexy, trés trés boudeur, mal rasé, fumant cigarette sur cigarette, de quoi casser l'image propre et nette de Wham!
En Septembre de l'année suivante, le clip remporte l'award de la meilleure direction aux MTV VIDEO AWARDS, remis conjointement à George Michael et Andy Morahan.
D'aprés tout ce qui a été écrit sur George, il est impossible de savoir si cette chanson est autobiographique ou pas, il se dit qu'elle a été écrite pour essayer de faire avec un nouveau slow un tube encore plus grand que "Careless Whisper". En tout cas une trés belle chanson d'amour et en anglais "you" c'est il ou elle ....
Les paroles :
That's all I wanted
Something special, something sacred
In your eyes
For just one moment
To be bold and naked
At your side
Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
Maybe this time is forever
Say it can be
That's all you wanted
Something special, someone sacred
In your life
Just for one moment
To be warm and naked
At my side
Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
But something tells me together
We'd be happy
(Baby)
I will be your father figure
(Oh baby)
Put your tiny hand in mine
(I'd love to)
I will be your preacher teacher
(Be your daddy)
Anything you have in mind
(It would make me)
I will be your father figure
(Very happy)
I have had enough of crime
(Please let me)
I will be the one who loves you
Until the end of time
That's all I wanted
But sometimes love can be mistaken
For a crime
That's all I wanted
Just to see my baby's
Blue eyed shine
This time I think that my lover
Understands me
If we have faith in each other
Then we can be strong
I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who loves you
Until the end of time
If you are the desert
I'll be the sea
If you ever hunger
Hunger for me
Whatever you ask for
That's what I'll be
So when you remember the ones who have lied
Who said that they cared
But then laughed as you cried
Beautiful Darling
Don't think of me
Because all I ever wanted
It's in your eyes baby, baby
And love can't lie, no...
(Greet me with the eyes of a child)
My love is always tell me to...
(Heaven is a kiss and a smile)
Just hold on, hold on
I won't let you go, my baby
I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
(So I am gonna love you)
Until the end of time
I will be your father
I will be your preacher
I will be your daddy
I will be the one who loves you until the end of time
