"HOW CAN YOU love me?When you are playing with my life. You say give me time and I'll do better I swear... Give me time and I'll lead you back to despair."
George Michael's paean to lust, heartbreak and betrayal also happens to be very, very sexy. But then it would be.
So to is the video, a carnival of beauty, lust and hurt set in a smoky jazz club. There's boys in make-up, flappers, drag kings and panda bear mascara. And vintage cars. Boy oh boy, the cars! Flappers too! And that beautiful boy at about 3:13...
"You've got a thing about danger / Ain't you getting what you want from me
You've got a thing about strangers / Baby that's what we used to be
One of these days /You're gonna bring some home to me..."
So who hasn't been in a relationship where one party is more devoted than the other? Sitting at home playing wifey, whilst he's out somewhere sucking a stranger's dick? Just like most of you reading this, I've played both parts. (Funnily enough, both times where I was hit hardest by a cheating partner, were by musicians. Never trust a boy who sings for a living.)
"It seems that everybody takes their chances these days / Oh yeah, we're standing in the rain..."
