The One Life of the New Me Me Me Generation




你也自我陶醉,

自我中心,

自戀嗎?
抑或都不是,

只是稍為喜歡玩 smartphone 而已!

James Morrison


One Life



When I was a young boy
I was living for the moment
The world was wide open
I had every choice
But with so many choices
I just didn't know what to do now
All I'd say is forget it
Well you tell me I'll regret it
Just let it be what it is
Coz it's so easy to say

If I knew yesterday what I know today
Where would I be tomorrow
I won't let my soul slide away
I'd do whatever it takes
Coz this time's only borrowed

I got one life, one life, one life
And I'm gonna live it
I got one life, one life, one life
And I'm gonna live it right

My daddy sat me down
He said "Son, it's probably time to start making some plans"
And I said "No, not right now"
With so many choices
I just didn't know what to do now
All I'd say is forget it
Well you tell me I'll regret it
Just let it be what it is
Coz it's so easy to say

If I knew yesterday what I know today
Where would I be tomorrow
I won't let my soul slide away
I'd do whatever it takes
Coz this time's only borrowed

I got one life, one life, one life
And I'm gonna live it
I got one life, one life, one life
And I'm gonna live it right

You say the more you think
You know what's right
The less you do
What you feel inside
So I won't pretend that I always know
I just follow my heart wherever it goes
And I may not always get it right
But at least I'm living coz I've only got this...

One life, one life, one life
I've got this one life

If I knew yesterday what I know today
Where would I be tomorrow
I won't let my soul slide away
I'd do whatever it takes
Coz this time's only borrowed

I got one life, one life, one life
And I'm gonna live it
I got one life, one life, one life
And I'm gonna live it right

When I'm an old man
Hope I'll be rocking in my chair
Smiling to myself
I'll tell my baby girl
You only got one life
So make sure you live it right

眼前風景

 
 
Sixto Rodriguez- Sandrevan Lullaby 




The generals hate holidays
Others shoot up to chase the sun blues away
Another store front church is open
Sea of neon lights, a boxer his shadow fights
Soldier tired and sailor broken
Winter's asleep at my window
Cold wind waits at my door
She asks me up to her place
But I won't be down anymore

Judges with metermaid hearts
Order super market justice starts
Frozen children inner city
Walkers in the paper rain
Waiting for those knights that never came
The hi-jacked trying so hard to be pretty

Night rains tap at my window
Winds of my thoughts passing by
She laughed when I tried to tell her
Hello only ends in goodbye

America gains another pound
Only time will bring some people around
Idols and flags are slowly melting
Another shower of rice
To pair it for some will suffice
The mouthful asks for second helpings

Moonshine pours through my window
The night puts it's laughter away
Clouds that pierce the illusion
That tomorrow would be as yesterday...

留下時光流逝足跡。。。


 
 

The world goes on
Barclay James Harvest
From the album Octoberon - 1976

 
 

 


See the gambler make a stand
Holds a lifetime in his hand
Win the game or lose control
But the world goes on forever
Life's a circle, I recall
Shadows played upon the wall
You pay the piper to call the tune
And the song goes on forever

And when all the words have gone
There's the thought to carry on
Just like a bird that sings
Leave it all behind and spread your wings
You can leave it all behind - spread your wings

Lay me down
Saw the road move on before me
Times when I was tired and lost my way
Looking at life and strangely for the first time
Thinking that I could stay here
But the world moves on forever

And when all the words have gone
There's the thought to carry on
Just like a bird that sings
Leave it all behind and spread your wings
You can leave it all behind - spread your wings
