From Brisbane, Australia to worldwide success, Messrs. Hayes and Jones were responsible for some of the most widely-known pop songs of the late 90's. Appropiately enough, given their Anne Rice-inspired name, Savage Garden veered between lush ballads ("Truly Madly Deeply", "I Knew I Loved You") and up-tempo dance numbers ("I Want You", "The Animal Song") with a deftness that put many of their contemporaries in the shade. Debut: In July of 1996, under Roadshow Music, the duo released their debut single "‎I Want You." The single was a hit in Australia and became the year's highest-selling by an Australian artist. The success of the single garnered much interest from many U.S.

Last Christmas Lyrics

Savage Garden

last Christmas I gave you my heart
but the very next day you gave it away
and this year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
well last Christmas I gave you my heart
but the very next day you gave it away
and this year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone... special

so whoa... oh ohh ohh

once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
but you still catch my eye
tell me baby, do you recognise me
well, it's been a year
it doesn't surprise me

Happy Christmas
I wrapped it up and sent it
with a letter saying I loved you
I meant it
now I know what a fool I've been
but if you kiss me now
I know you'll fool me again

last Christmas I gave you my heart
but the very next day you gave it away (you gave it away)
and this year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)

last Christmas I gave you my heart
but the very next day you gave it away
(you gave it away)
and this year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
special

so whoa.... ohh ohh ohhh
noo oooh

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

face on a lover with a fire in his heart
a man under cover when you tore me apart
ooh ooh, now I've found a real love
you'll never fool me again

last Christmas I gave you my heart
but the very next day you gave it away
(you gave it away)
and this year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)

last Christmas I gave you my heart
but the very next day you gave it away
(you gave it away)
and this year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone (special)
I'll give it someone...

[chorus to end]

special

so whoa whoa whoa
ohh ohh ohh ohh
noo oooh

guilty feet, they got no rhythm
guilty feet, they got no rhythm
no no
ooh ooh
now I've found a real love
you'll never fool me again

no no
someone
so whoa whoa whoa
ohh no no no
no oooh

ooh ba ba na
ba ba ba ooh no
ba ba ooh no
ba ba ooh no
ooh ooh
yeah yeah
