The Classic Christmas Song--Last Christmas


Lirics:
【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 *2

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

【chorus】*2

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

【chorus】*2

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

B.What do you think of this performance?
Before we watch the short film,I thought it was only a common music performance.
But after we watched it,I knew I was wrong.
Bluemen admonish everyone to face the serious public pollution--global warming.
At first,I don't know what bluemen try to convey,but just be attracted by the strong beats.
We should not ignore global warming anymore.
we own the Earth togather,so this unique planet ought to be protect by everyone instead of only the few.
It's time for us to do something!

Part II About global citizenship
A.In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
I watch international news on TV ,internet or newspaper and seldom discuss the issue with others;I chat to my friend who is in New Zealand now,etc.

B. How can you become a better global citizen?
To become a better global citizen,I should keep an eye on the international news,respect other cultures and try my best not to contaminate the Earth.
