英國性感巨星［喬治麥可］──靈魂／爵士流行曲──〔Spinning The Wheel／旋轉輪子〕

Spin the wheel

Five oclock in the morning you aint home

I cant help thinking thats strange

Baby I just want you to know I wont go through this again

Yes, those clouds are closing in

Chorus:

And I will not accept this as a part of my life

I will not live in fear of what may be

And the lessons that I learned...

I would rather be alone than watch you spinning that wheel for me

Youve got a thing about danger

Aint you getting what you want from me

Youve got a thing about strangers

Baby thats what we used to be

Youve got a thing about danger baby

I guess that hungry just cant see

One of this days you gonna bring some home to me

Six oclock in the morning you aint home

I cant help thinking its strange

It seems that everybody takes their chances these days

Oh yeah, were standing in the rain

Chorus

How can you love me when youre playing with my life

You say give me time and Ill do better I swear

Give me time and Ill lead you back to despair

And I dont want to go back there

Songwriters: GEORGE MICHAEL, JONATHAN SIMON DOUGLAS

１９９６年　在經歷跟索尼（SONY）唱片纏訟多年的官司後

英國性感巨星喬治麥可（George Michael）的合約被SONY賣給新唱片公司──Virgin（Int）／DreamWorks（U.S.）　在歌壇重新出發

１９９６年５月發行的第三專輯［Older］各地暢銷　全球賣出９００萬張

前兩首單曲〔Jesus To A Child〕［Fastlove］也分別登上英國榜冠軍　美國榜Top１０　成功復出

１９９６年８月　３３歲喬治的推出大碟第三主打〔Spinning The Wheel／旋轉輪子〕

此曲由麥可與Jon Douglas合寫／製作

是首靈魂／爵士流行曲

在中慢板的節奏間　喬治以他出色的R&B唱腔演繹

為了打榜　此曲又製作了Forthright Mix──House舞曲版在電台宣傳（Radio Edit）

〔Spinning The Wheel〕登上英國榜亞軍　銷售逾２０萬張　成為麥可在家鄉另一首暢銷曲

國際表現不錯：西班牙冠軍　義大利＃１１　芬蘭＃１３　澳洲／愛爾蘭＃１４紐西蘭＃１７　瑞典＃１８　瑞士＃２４　比利時（法語區）＃２７　奧地利＃２９　荷蘭＃３１　比利時（法語區）＃３６　德國＃６７

美國沒入單曲榜　只在副榜──舞曲榜拿到＃４４

MV以黑白攝製　頗有質感

這是喬治在１９９０年代的名曲之一
