給我一首歌的時間

給我一首歌的時間
雨淋濕了天空
毀得很講究
你說你不懂
爲何在這時牽手
我曬乾了沉默
毀得很衝動
就算這是做錯
也只是怕錯過
在一起叫夢
分開了叫痛
是不是說
沒有做完的夢最痛
迷路的後果
我能承受
這最後的出口在愛過了才有
能不能給我一首歌的時間
緊緊的把那擁抱變成永遠
在我的懷裡妳不用害怕失眠
如果你想忘記我也能失意
能不能給我一首歌的時間
把故事聽到最後才說再見
你送我的眼淚讓它留在雨天
越過你劃的線我定了勇氣的終點
(There's a bridge but I don't really like it so I won't bother typing it out. Typing in Chinese is quite a bitch. Especially when looking for traditional Chinese characters.)
I admit, his weepy love song lyrics are a bit cheap. There's no depth to the emotions, just generic, readily-packaged phrases and words that are supposed to convey heartbreak and pathos. I know all this...and yet, it's affecting me. I'm so annoyed with Jay Chou. He needs to stop writing lyrics in such simple Chinese that even I can understand them. What the fuck. I don't even bother reading Vincent Fang's lyrics 'cause I can't recognise half the words anyway, so yeah, I blame Jay Chou for this.
Also, I just found out that the half-Taiwanese song (Track #8) is a duet, and that he didn't sing the Taiwanese lines. I FEEL SO CHEATED. Who the fuck is Gary? Why should I be interested in listening to his voice? I want to hear Jielun sing in Taiwanese, dammit, not some Gary dude whom I don't even know.
Time Machine sounds like a bastardised version of Bai Se Feng Che. But I have to admit, his songs are damn catchy. I started humming that 'le'-ridden song (...okay I can't remember what it's called) after two spins and I don't even like it. And I just discovered this awesome line in the Joker song: 別忘記 蝙蝠俠靠我才票房冠軍
I don't necessarily agree that The Dark Knight hit the #1 spot in the box office because of Heath Ledger's Joker, but you know what, it's a reference to the Dark Knight. I love the Dark Knight. It's a Jay Chou song. I'LL TAKE IT.
Well, anyway, I think I'm PMSing. That alone should explain the moodiness. I think the fact that Roger lost plays a tiny part too; by now I'm extremely adept at using such things as a means of distracting myself from things that I don't want to think about, that I should think about, and for a while I was in a happy bubble because Roger was winning his matches and I was happy that he was winning his matches, and now that he lost a match, that happy bubble has burst, and it hurts. More so than the sting of seeing him lose to Andy Murray; it's that, and much more.
Don't want to talk about it though. I wonder what do I talk about anymore. Oh well.
