Prism

Songs are like prisms.

They take the light of your heart and separate it into its rawest, most fundamental form.

輸情歌
李克勤
作曲: 金培達
填詞: 陳少琪
編曲: 金培達
監製: 金培達/趙增熹

額頭沒有亮光 人軟弱如沒血糖
失戀之中身體欠安康 躺在病床
面前沒曙光 從前這家裡似天堂 
這數百呎 漸已變得 空嚝

#念著是你好處缺陷 都這麼使我太著緊
 過去我得過幾多興奮 換幾多黑暗 簡單的公式太深#

*想不到失戀輸了我終身 注碼放太多 天真地上陣 
 一回頭 身已沒分文永不翻身
 想不到失戀輸了我真心 每晚夜難眠然後害怕到著燈
 共我手背熱吻 怎會入心 
 困在回憶的監禁 傢俬枱凳 漸變舊 和我合襯
        (踐踏我心的腳印)*

夢難做太深 遺忘了工作變消沉
我吃與喝 亦會兩手 抖震

Repeat #(*)*

I'm Gonna Find Another You
John Mayer

It's really over
You made your stand
You got me crying
As was your plan
But when my loneliness is through
I'm gonna find another you

You take your sweaters
You take your time
You might have your reasons
But you will never have my rhyme
I'm gonna sing my way away from blue
I'm gonna find another you

When I was your lover
No one else would do
And if I'm forced to find another
I hope she looks like you
And she's nicer, too

So go on, baby
Make your little getaway
My pride will keep me company
And you just gave yours all away
Now I'm gonna dress myself for two
Once for me, and once for someone new
I'm gonna do some things you wouldn't let me do
I'm gonna find another you

常在你左右

情人今天我 能含笑進睡 
被她醫好心碎 如果昨日你 
誓死相隨 其實只不過錯下去

難長久相對 能和氣暢聚 
或可維持歡樂 歷久不衰 
風再沒法吹 便無眼淚

*如難復合 合做摯友 
 友愛共伴 伴著最後 能傾訴就夠 
 我跟你 分憂成為分手 
 分手成為了友誼萬歲 慶幸放手

 從左至右 徘徊在妳的圓周 關心好過懷舊 
 找到新戀愛 也為你暖手 別做怨偶*

仍然祝福你 尋回愛氣味 
幸福始終等你 明天也像我 
絕不出奇  其實只不過碰運氣

從前怎生氣 從頭再細膩
為新情人準備 盡花心機 
天氣便轉好 就如勝地

Crystal Man

Yesterday was the first semi-competitive game of the year.

It was a beautiful day, sunny with a steady breeze. The ground was still wet and muddy from three days of rain during the week, so I went with my Nike soft ground boots. They felt really comfortable, once I put an extra pair of socks on underneath my shinpads. Running and turning was effortless.

I started on the sideline, and came on shortly after in right midfield. On my first possession I was double-teamed, and I was having a hard time getting into the game as, as usual, our game involves more north-south work than east-west movement.

Once we gave up a couple of goals and made some changes, moving people around, suddenly I found myself playing in the hole. This was both necessary (someone on our team started invading my territory, so there was a positional overlap) and strategic (someone else volunteered to man-mark the opposition's best player and free me up to attack).

I thrived in it. Running at the D, finding space between D and midfields. One brilliant through-ball for Matthew, who scored on his second attempt. Then a one-two with Addy, who returned the ball with an inspired chip (almost like Paul Scholes to Wayne Rooney, circa CL semi-final vs. Milan, first leg), leaving me to slot the ball past the advancing keeper.

Unfortunately, the keeper clipped my knee as I went in to score, and subsequent cramping (in both lower legs, front and back) meant my effectiveness was limited thereafter. But all in all, I was satisfied with my performance. Short, accurate passing, not giving the ball away easily, good movement to find open space, some good defensive work. The problem is it only lasted 15 minutes.

Just like a piece of crystal. So brilliant, yet so fragile.
