只不過是一場生活

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:30:35 +0000

訪友blog，聽sidebar上的歌，一首又一首，忽然聽見老狼的歌聲，便凝神。
「結婚」，歌曲的名字。
沒聽懂大部份的詞，唯那幾句重覆的……驀地，噗通一聲掉入胸腔。
「只不過是一場生活　只不過是一場生活
只不過是一場生活　只不過是一場生活」
好好的我聽住了，好好的我懂了。

（也許一天可以嘅話我會寫一個故事以此為題。）

記住咬唇

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:02:40 +0000

從前一直不知道，大學圖書館裡有豐富藏量的閒書，以”BS”為編號，代表best sellers。這都不知道，可見過去十年在大學裡，我若非太過懶惰從不光顧圖書館，就是太過用功做正經事了（！）
甫發現了BS糸書，即SB似地瘋狂借閱。我常常很想瞭解那些書暢銷的原因何在。我們那個叫「廿九几」的獨立出版遊戲，玩了五年，最暢銷的那本叫《所以美好》，也不過賣了千多本。而我手上借得的《50個女生想男生知道的心事》，我見過書店出售第九版。
很快便翻完書了，那應該算是繪本，色彩斑爛處處可見粉紅和紫色。作者帶銀公主的網站，我已很多年沒拜訪過，但我相信，她的人氣仍高企如九年前。書的內容不多談了，看書名便是（其實我亦不記得了）。書中我最記得的，竟然是最後最後帶銀自己寫的一句話。
那句話其實不是寫給讀者的。結語部份，帶銀說到，她即將要結婚了，凡去過她網站的都知「大朋友」是那位先生的暱稱，她寫：

「大朋友，餘生請你指教。」

然後全書完。
然後我需要一分鐘來記起，啊！楊千嬅！
「……哎著唇邊／穿起婚紗上路／餘生請你指教」有吳彥祖那個MV是吧？新紥師妹對不對？要捍衛自己的愛情的方麗娟對不對？
Alright，我嘴巴硬，可是我誠實，我認那一下真的有點點感動。

－－並且我終於明白，公主的幸福，是有原有因的。而閣下或鄙人假使自覺不幸，也是沒法子的事了。誰讓你我火爆得直行直衝不講禮貌，情感相當執拗落場又肯盡力去跑，但偏偏，到故事結尾，衰在喜歡指教別人多於被人指教。不過不要緊，不忿氣時，你我仍有下唇可咬。

At Seventeen

Wed, 26 Apr 2006 15:41:03 +0000

I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
and high school girls with clear skinned smiles
who married young and then retired
The valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth
And those of us with ravaged faces
lacking in the social graces
desperately remained at home
inventing lovers on the phone
who called to say – come dance with me
and murmured vague obscenities
It isn’t all it seems at seventeen
A brown eyed girl in hand me downs
whose name I never could pronounce
said – Pity please the ones who serve
They only get what they deserve
The rich relationed hometown queen
marries into what she needs
with a guarantee of company
and haven for the elderly
Remember those who win the game
lose the love they sought to gain
in debentures of quality and dubious integrity
Their small-town eyes will gape at you
in dull surprise when payment due
exceeds accounts received at seventeen
To those of us who knew the pain
of valentines that never came
and those whose names were never called
when choosing sides for basketball
It was long ago and far away
The world was younger than today
when dreams were all they gave for free
to ugly duckling girls like me
We all play the game, and when we dare
we cheat ourselves at solitaire
Inventing lovers on the phone
Repenting other lives unknown
that call and say – Come dance with me
and murmur vague obscenities
at ugly girls like me, at seventeen

The Red Letter Day

Sat, 24 Dec 2005 17:36:21 +0000

my xmas song from PSB

like the christmas morning
when you’re a kid
admitted you love me and you always did
baby i’m hoping for the red letter day

for something special
somehow new
someone saying i love you
baby i’m waiting for the red letter day

假音人的香港輓歌

Thu, 24 Nov 2005 14:24:42 +0000

由這一分鐘開始計起
死性我不想改　如我沒有你的愛
我慢慢的心淡　付清賬單
做隻貓做隻狗
就擊倒我麼
我只想一個人　如傷口深到任誰望我　都不敢看人
若你想我吠
做隻貓做隻狗
我將畢生威武放低　做塊階梯給你墊底
未算低做隻貓未算低做隻狗未算低做隻貓未算低做隻狗未算低

同桌的你

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

「明天你是否會想起，昨天你寫了日記」
「那時候天總是很藍，日子總過得太慢」
「誰看了我給你寫的信，誰把它丟在風裡」
老土！老土！可是我一旦想起這個歌，就無論如何要聽到才安樂-_-”

住屋村大

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

怎麼說呢？實在係犀利！
有人改編了「勁歌金曲」為「住屋村大」。我喜歡以下歌詞：

“炎炎夏住冷巷共細佬妹走出巷訓泥龍床”
“廿二座多蚊完全無情地咬過份
明明知都點蚊香訓照咬到邊有得訓?”
“我細個至怕上學令我擔當機鋪的主角
打親無時停完全代表作 ”
“又有煨番薯買隻比妹豬”
“當年好多女笑我成晚都公園坐
邊似係拍拖? 笑我真折墮 ”
“嗌熱華田常餐點樣計? ”
“話我係流氓又踢拖又無銀終日撩人
仲要返學最少舉世奇人
而我金毛穿耳街坊睇見成為仇人”
“家長不嬲放鬆我家長不嬲放鬆我”
“成長這裡十數秋如今清拆沒法留
隨時日漸逝去烙在我心總銘記”
