1.Fake Plastic Trees

作詞:Thomas Yorke & Edward O'Brien & Colin Greenwood &
Jnathan Greenwood & Philip Selway
作曲:Thomas Yorke & Edward O'Brien & Colin Greenwood &
Jonathan Greenwood & Philip Selway
編曲:徐千秀

Her green plastic watering can
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth

That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself
It wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out

She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns

He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
And it wears him out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears...

She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love

But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
And it wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out
And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time, all the time
Oh, oh


2.Perfect Day (Feat. 陳奕迅)

作詞:Lou Reed
作曲:Lou Reed
編曲:徐千秀

Just a perfect day
drink Sangria in the park
And then later
when it gets dark, we go home

Just a perfect day
feed animals in the zoo
Then later a movie, too, and then home

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spend it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

Just a perfect day
problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
it's such fun

Just a perfect day
you made me forget myself
I thought I was someone else
someone good

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

You're going to reap just what you sow

You're going to reap just what you sow

You're going to reap just what you sow

You're going to reap just what you sow

You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow


3.The Drugs Don't Work

作詞:Richard Ashcroft
作曲:Richard Ashcroft
編曲:陳建騏

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down

And I hope you're thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

But I know I'm on a losing streak
'as I passed down by your street
And if you wanna show
Then just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls
I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life
I'm better off dead

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls
I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life
I'm better off dead
But if you wanna show, just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
I'm never going down, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never coming down, I'm never going down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never going down, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never coming down, I'm never going down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more


4.Hallelujah

作詞:Cohen Leonard
作曲:Cohen Leonard
編曲:陳珊妮

I've heard there was a secret chord
that David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, Do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor Fall, The major lift
The baffled king composing, hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne
and she cut your hair and from your lips
She drew the halleujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah...

6.Diamonds Are Forever

Diamonds are forever
They are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
They won't leave in the night
I've no fear that they might desert me

Diamonds are forever
Hold one up and then caress it
Touch it, stroke it and undress it
I can see every part
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me
I don't need love
For what good will love do me
Diamonds never lie to me
For when love's gone
They'll luster on
Diamonds are forever
Sparkling round my little finger
Unlike men, the diamonds linger
Men are mere mortals who
Are not worth going to your grave for

I don't need love
For what good will love do me
Diamonds never lie to me
For when love's gone
They'll luster on
Diamonds are forever
Sparkling round my little finger
Unlike men, the diamonds linger
Men are mere mortals who
Are not worth going to your grave for

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Forever and ever


7.Falling Slowly

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that

Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react

And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black

You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

WOOHOO

I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy
But nothing is
No
WOOHOO
When I feel heavy metal WOOHOO
And I'm pins and I'm needles WOOHOO
Well I lie and I'm easy
All of the time but I'm never sure
why I need you
Pleased to meet you

I got my head done
When I was young
It's not my problem
It's not my problem
WOOHOO
When I feel heavy metal WOOHOO
And I'm pins and I'm needles WOOHOO

All of the time but I'm never sure

作曲:Guy Barryman & Jon Buckland &Will Champion & C.F. Martin
編曲:陳珊妮

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I've set you apart
Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start
Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on the science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Oh tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I'm going back to the start

Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ah ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh


10.After Hours

作詞:Lou Reed
作曲:Lou Reed
編曲:徐千秀&陳建騏&甯子達&王昱人&楊乃文&陳珊妮

If you close the door
the night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
and say hello to never
All the people are dancing
and they're having such fun
I wish it could happen to me

But if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again
If you close the door
the night could last forever
Leave the wine-glass out
and drink a toast to never
Oh, someday I know
someone will look into my eyes
And say hello
you're my very special one

But if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again
Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars
and the people on subways and trains
Looking gray in the rain
as they stand disarrayed
oh, but people look well in the dark

And if you close the door
the night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
and say hello to never
All the people are dancing
and they're having such fun
I wish it could happen to me

Cause if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again
I'd never have to see the day again, once more
I'd never have to see the day again


11.Miss Underwater

Miss Underwater, I've come to say goodbye
Miss Underwater, please don't sigh
Miss Underwater, stop singing lullabies
Miss Underwater, refrain

Miss Underwater, pretend that I am dead
Miss Underwater, don't be sad
Miss Underwater, it's only in your head
Miss Underwater, desist

Miss Underwater, you know the reason why
Miss Underwater, watch me fly
Miss Underwater, my love for you won't die
Miss Underwater, give up

And all your hydrous love songs
Will never stop my leaving

Miss Underwater, now I'm on my own
Miss Underwater, I've been reborn
Miss Underwater, closeness to my soul
Miss Underwater, suspend

And all your hydrous love songs
Will never stop my leaving

Miss Underwater, I've come to say goodbye
Miss Underwater, please don't sigh
Miss Underwater, stop singing lullabies
Miss Underwater, refrain
