專輯：Enchanted
年份：1990
曲名：A Lover Spurned
Marc Almond 是80年代新浪潮電子團體 Soft Cell 的主唱，Soft Cell 好像在80年代中期就解散了，Marc Almond 繼續以個人路線發展。這首 A Lover Spurned 一開頭既戲劇化又強悍，讓人以為會是首很山崩地裂的歌，結果主旋律一出來，強悍節奏雖然還在，旋律卻很柔美，融合的很迷人。弦樂拉出的那「砰砰砰」低沈節奏真是好聽極了！
Marc Almond - A Lover Spurned (1990)
A lover spurned
A lesson learned
On love you've got
Your fingers burnt
Shed bitter tears
Now love has turned
The sweet revenge
Of a lover spurned
A passing phase
A week of love
But all at once
You had enough
It pales so soon
Waned with the moon
No deep concern
For a lover spurned
She'll destroy you with her little games
See you swallow all the blame
Make you pay in many ways
For the pleasure of watching you squirm
She'll tell her friends to treat you rough
That you just weren't good enough
Make the going really tough
For the pleasure of watching you burn in hell
And every day
More guilt to pay
A lesson learned
From a lover spurned
It was all so cosy for you
You had a wife, two children
And a beautiful house

改成播MV，這首 A Lover Spurned 是相當迷人的歌。
Marc Almond 是80年代新浪潮電子團體 Soft Cell 的主唱，Soft Cell 當年有首很走紅的歌曲 Tainted Love，它在 Billboard 單曲榜最佳成績沒有很頂尖，但創下一項蠻另類的紀錄，在單曲榜前一百名內待了四十幾週，相當驚人。這記錄到90年代後被打破，目前在 Billboard 單曲榜前一百名待最久的歌曲應該是 LeAnn Rimes 的 How Do I Live (69 weeks, 1997-1998)。
MV裡那段「戲劇化又強悍」的前奏，居然配上那種畫面，削弱整個感覺哩。
對啊，MV很不搭調，歌其實很正經，畫面卻很詭異。
