我为你哭 (Wo Wei Ni Ku)


One of the few chinese songs I wrote in the past. This version is arranged by my good friend, Peter Huang.

Love at first sight


This one's my own. First time jamming with my youngest bro, Patrick. Hopefully there'd be many more jamming sessions to come, cos many of my songs can do with a bit of Bongo magic.

My heart is pumping so fast oh yeah, oh yeah
My heart is aching so bad oh yeah oh yeah
My heart is burning with fire oh yeah oh yeah
My heart is aching with desire oh yeah oh yeah

Come on baby, come on

I'd climb the highest mountain for ya, for ya
I'd fight with a 6-foot brown bear for ya, for ya
Swim in a pool of piranhas for ya, for ya
I'd even do a full monty for ya, in front of my mum

Bridge:
All because of this funny feeling that i've got
All because of this funny thing they call love
Oooh this magical moment you've left me
You kept me jumping around, I wanna tell the whole world

Chorus:
Oh, oh, oh, oh It's love at first sight well I'm out of my mind
Oh, oh, oh, oh It's love at first sight well don't leave me behind
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh It's love at first sight if the moment is right
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh It's love at first sight oh baby let's spend the night

Gypsy MC


A Jason Mraz cover. This one took me a long time to learn :)

I'd like to give a shout out to all the g-y-ps and
Individualize because I am an MC. I can because I care
Cause my family's there cause I, cause I
Cause I appreciate the mentality of music
Saving all my sentences unless of course I'm smoothly spoken
Quiet type the kind to watch out for
No man of the clan perpetrating the scam
Sure I'm the boy with the fallopian voice
Straight from the sleeve of any wizard of choice
I got the reason to be roamin' out the coverage area
Send me the bill if all my lovin' is scarin' ya

Dare you to dream the way that I believe
Got the skill to go commando in any fatigues
I got the best damn band in the music scene
Oh I can even flow solo or just let it be
Because of the love
Oh the self-realization is the ifs ands & buts
Cause you gotta know your name before you play-a the game
Keep a level-headed check on your health and stay sane
Address the tack on the track put the needle on the record and
Prepare for playback
Sajak
Could I buy another vowel I need another clue
And I could also use a towel
And how goes the medium tempo
Slaying all the teachers like the class of '84
And down low you know that my fidelities low
And I would never hurt a fly with my flip-flops on
Got control
Even keep a clean toilet bowl
2000 flushes blue and it's still going strong
Do I do what I do for the sake of the song
Comin' through on the radio it's for you
This is proof my own story's a spoof
I'll always be a gypsy or forever be aloof
And if you never get to liking me it's okay too
Well you've made it this far so pay a toll at the booth
And move on
Yeah I got top score on Donkey Kong
Move on
Move on
Move-a-move-a-move-a-move-a move on

True or false? I can be a sensitive man
With sensible plans for the everyday woman
And I can keep you eating out the palm of my hand
Because the dope that we smoked was grown on my land
The words I burn they don't come from a can
The movie in my mind will be the winner at Cannes
So take your chance a plot of full or part-time romance
Clever as a bell don't measure up to whatever
Cause it don't matter how tall, how fat, or how small
The equal opportunity is open to all
The casting call the line forms down the hall
All you need is ID that shows that you're legal
But people with egos well you better not go
Cause you know I don't need those
And if there is a problem that I really oughta read
Post it on the web care of R-K-O-P
It's easy like me but a bit less the sleazy
Go heavy on the melody and add a little cheese
And if you can't stand the kitchen, get the hell out the heat
To meet with the geek all you need is a
Heart beat beat beat beat beat beat beat

And remember that fame
Fame is nothing more than loving someone
And that fortune is nothing more than loving what you do
Is nothing more than loving you

Well, I'm type A positive and just the way I like it
Right away I'm satisfied with my food before I try it
Can't deny it to save my life, I'm never lying
To brave this mic without the same thing twice
Is actually an act to staying up all night
With the mood just right
And the purchase of a flight from the west coast
To the northern lights
It's aurora borealis' company that I'm tight with
Despite all the things that you've heard
I'll admit that most is true and I'll be keeping my word
By doing double-duty on a search for new verbs
I report to work early to deliver the worm
With a back well covered by the buddies of ease
And no way in hell that I could ever catch a disease
And breaking all the codes on the latest machines
Well I'll even let you download me for free
I'm free
I'm free

Just remember that fame
Fame is nothing more than loving someone
And fortune is nothing more than loving what you do
And in the eyes of love
Love will overcome
Love will overcome
Well love
Will over
Over overcome
It's true
Cause look what you've done to me
To the gypsy

喜欢你

一生何求


My fav 陈百强 song. One of the most sincere Cantonese songs I know. Love the lyrics.

情憑誰來定錯對


An Alan Tam cover.

情憑誰來定錯對
我始終不想去追
寂寞路上遇痴心
相戀也有過痛苦一堆

如能從頭遇見你
我始終不會後退
將傷心收於記憶中
仍沒法去剪碎

濃情蜜意盡過去
凍好比一杯冷水
獨自默默望蒼天
心底裡滿載往昔唏噓
迷霧已漸漸散退
過去的經已逝去
前路漫漫顯得崎嶇
還是要我去面對

回憶起當天的歡笑
是光陰沖洗不去
在這一生中 這一生中沉醉

(但)寂寞憔悴 這世界可有誰
逝去了的愛情 陪孤單寄居
寂寞憔悴 人痛心因你別去
我已不懂得哭笑 望著你身影遠去

難得當天的相愛
是你我都傾出所有
令這一生中 這一生中無悔

我已不懂得哭笑 就讓我消失告退
我已不懂得哭笑 就讓我消失告退
我已不懂得哭笑 就讓我風中告退

情義倆心知


An Alan Tam cover.

夜就像黑紗一片明晨無 人知
你我這晚卻有好開始
偶爾結識了在情路上起點處
模模糊糊都想試一試

月亮是冰心一片如銀河 明珠
見我替你扣上小風衣
照暖了街角 讓情泛濫不經意
猶猶疑疑輕輕吻一次

凝望著我 你態度帶著懷疑
擔心愛總有分支
凝望著你 我說願意任何時
完完全全呈奉我痴

你有情 盼我有義
假的話 不可以 同樣地
我有情 盼你有義
真的話 輕私語 融融蜜意

朋友


An Alan Tam cover.

繁星 流動 和你 同路
從不相識 開始心接近
默默以真摯待人
人生如夢 朋友如霧
難得知心 幾經風暴
為著我不退半步 正是你

遙遙晚空 點點星光 息息相關
你我那怕荊棘舖滿路
替我解開心中的孤單 是誰明白我
情同兩手 一起開心 一起悲傷
彼此分擔 總不分我或你
你為了我 我為了你
共赴患難絕望裡 緊握你手 朋友

愛是這樣甜


An Alan Tam cover.

期望每朝早 起身一吻紅的臉
共回味情夢最甜 新鮮早餐奉獻 (當天報紙放身邊)
期望每朝早 返工衣著同挑選
一切一切共分享 愛是這樣甜

共做晚餐談笑 你要呷醋我落鹽
飯後你織毛衣 還未著上都溫暖

住在這小房間 說說笑笑也纏綿
但願我的旁邊 長伴有你天天見

爱在深秋
