Keane - Somewhere Only We Know



I walked across, an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth, beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when, you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.

I came across, a fallen elm tree,
I felt the branches; are they looking at me?
Is this the place, we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when, you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
So if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know.

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So, tell me when you gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
So if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, so why don't we go.

Hmmm yeahh.

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know.

紅豆 - 王菲




還沒好好的感受 雪花綻放的氣候
我們一起顫抖 會更明白 甚麼是溫柔
還沒跟你牽著手 走過荒蕪的沙丘
可能從此以後 學會珍惜 天長和地久

有時候 有時候 我會相信一切有盡頭
相聚離開 都有時候 沒有甚麼會永垂不朽

可是我 有時候 寧願選擇留戀不放手
等到風景都看透 也許你會陪我看細水長流

還沒為你把紅豆 熬成纏綿的傷口
然後一起分享 會更明白 相思的哀愁
還沒好好的感受 醒著親吻的溫柔
可能在我左右 你才追求 孤獨的自由

至少還有你 - 林憶蓮



我怕來不及,我要抱著你

直到感覺妳的皺紋,有了歲月的痕跡

直到肯定妳是真的,直到失去力氣,為了妳,我願意


動也不能動,也要看著妳

直到感覺妳的髮線,有了白雪的痕跡

直到視線變得模糊,直到不能呼吸,讓我們,形影不離


如果,全世界我也可以放棄

至少還有妳,值得我去珍惜

而妳在這裡,就是生命的奇蹟

也許,全世界我也可以忘記

就是不願意,失去妳的消息

妳掌心的痣,我總記得在那裡


我們好不容易,我們身不由己

我怕時間太快,不夠將妳看仔細

我怕時間太慢,日夜擔心失去妳

恨不得一夜之間白頭,永不分離


在那裡,在那裡

許美靜 - 遺憾



別再說是誰的錯 讓一切成灰
除非放下心中的負累 一切難以挽回
你總愛讓往事跟隨 怕過去白費
你總以為要體會人生 就要多愛幾回

與其讓你在我懷中枯萎 寧願你犯錯後悔
讓你飛向夢中的世界 留我獨自傷悲
與其讓你在我愛中憔悴 寧願你受傷流淚
莫非要你嘗盡了苦悲 才懂真情可貴

Coldplay - Yellow




Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called "Yellow"

So then I took my turn
Oh what a thing to have done
And it was all "Yellow"

Your skin
Oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn on into something beautiful
And you know
You know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
'Cause you were all "Yellow"

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all "Yellow"

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn on into something beautiful
And you know
For you I'd bleed myself dry
For you I'd bleed myself dry

It's true, look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do

Oasis - Wonderwall




Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat, the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me

[Travel] 喜樂house 1房1景 盡賞港都

喜樂house 1房1景 盡賞港都



★本文原刊登於2008年11月17日聯合報.C2.大高雄綜合新聞

位於高雄市愛河旁「喜樂house」民宿,6間房間分別可看見愛河、柴山、漁人碼頭等高雄景色,其中面對真愛碼頭的房間,可眺望海上夕陽美景,讓房客感到驚喜。

經營者jenny4年前南下高雄唸書,驚訝高雄有山有河,還有國際級的海港景色,擁有得天獨厚的自然條件,加上消費比台北便宜,讓她愛上高雄,還拉了3名好友共同南下投資房地產生意。

jenny去年在位於愛河邊的大樓頂樓購買一間70坪房屋,原打算裝潢成套房出租,整理時發現,每間房都看得到高雄特色風景,有的旁邊就看得到85大樓,有房間正對真愛碼頭,還看得到旗津、愛河,其中「輪船滿屋」房間格局就像艘船,看出去是海港,每間房都依景色命名,展現高雄在地特色。

jenny說,高雄景色不輸曼谷、香港、上海等國際大城,只是乏人用心經營,將擁有美麗景觀的房屋改裝成民宿,要讓更多外地人感受高雄之美。

喜樂house房間佈置以白色為基調,床組用色卻很繽紛,一踏進民宿就能感受內部簡潔、大方的氛圍,公用區域的座椅整片靠窗,坐下來喝杯茶、咖啡,靜靜看著窗外風景,舒適得讓人不想動。

喜樂house有一間四人房 (平日1800元,假日2100元),其餘都是兩人房(平日1300元,假日1800元),優惠聯合報讀者,平日(週一到週五)入住可享九折優待,地址在高雄市苓雅區四維四路242號12樓,電話07-2696906。

Eye of the Tiger - Survivor



Lyric:
Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

Chorus:
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive

chorus

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

chorus

The eye of the tiger (repeats out)...

海角七號 Don't wanna 范逸臣

詞:Freddy 原唱:范逸臣

So many time I've tired
Put in my heart and soul
Never good enough for you
I'm sick of all your lies
It's time to realize
I'm better off without you

Not wanna waste my time and my life
To settle in your dreams
Don't wanna be a fool and a slave
To satisfy on your needs

Your said it's over
It's never over
It's time for something new
I tried so hard
To get this over
To follow something new

So many time I've tired
Put in my heart and soul
Never good enough for you
I'm sick of all your lies
It's time to realize
I'm better off without you

Don't wanna be a fool and a slave
To satisfy on your needs
Not wanna waste my time and my life
To settle in your dreams

Your said it's over
It's never over
It's time for something new
I tried so hard
To get this over
To follow something new

Your said it's over
It's never over
It's time for something new
I tried so hard
To get this over
To follow something new

一位與資本主義頑抗的老銀行家

2008-11-01 中國時報 【沈雲驄】

財經漫遊─一位與資本主義頑抗的老銀行家

---
閉起眼睛,你會怎樣想像「銀行家」這三個字?霸氣的辜濂松,西裝頭的蔡明忠,還是電影中叼著大雪茄的禿頭胖子們?不管你怎樣想,可能都無法連結到費茲.沃格(Fritz Vogt)這個人。

 濃眉白髮、布滿皺紋臉上掛著一副老舊金邊眼鏡的沃格,今年七十八歲,住在德國西南方,一個名叫蓋姆斯菲(Gammesfeld)的小鎮。沃格目前正經營的,是一八九○年創立、從祖父一路傳下來的萊芬森銀行(Raiffeisenbank Gammesfeld)。

 萊芬森是德國一千四百多家銀行當中,規模最小的一家。以顧客數來說,只有六百多位;從資產來看,四年前,一千五百萬歐元,現在,一千八百五十萬,約合新台幣七十七億,相當於台灣金控業的小零頭。至於員工人數,只有一人,就是沃格自己。

 萊芬森的所在地,是用穀倉改建的一棟老舊房舍。裡頭沒有大型電腦,也沒有自動提款機。到萊芬森銀行去,你只能看到三種服務:存款、房貸以及其他一般貸款。不管哪種服務,利率的計算都很簡單,假如存款利率是四%,房貸就是五%,其他貸款六%,會隨著歐元區的利率水準調整,但一定比別的銀行優惠。

 對帳單?簡單,不是手寫,就是用打字機打出來,一個月會提供三次,如果有緊急需要,想知道帳戶裡還有多少錢,也可以打電話來問。至於現金卡、信用卡,抱歉,全都沒有。和別的銀行最大的不同是:萊芬森銀行不販賣任何投機商品。想到這家銀行買股票?沒有;買基金,到別處去,這裡不賣。更別提這陣子,讓世界亂成一團的衍生性金融商品了。

 想也知道,這麼「原始」的銀行,任何野心勃勃的MBA,都不會瞧上一眼。你可以去查查看,網路上也絕對找不到與這家銀行相關的什麼併購、募資、促銷商品的新聞。在這什麼事情都講求E化、效率、規模的年代,別說政府不知道該怎樣管理這種小銀行,包括銀行同業與媒體也很難明白,像沃格這樣的銀行家,有什麼出息?

 錯了。就在國際上一家又一家知名大銀行紛紛倒閉,銀行家不是抱頭鼠竄,就是準備鋃鐺入獄的當兒,萊芬森銀行卻儼然成了世界金融的典範。去年這家沒有花俏商品的一人銀行,靜靜賺了三萬五千歐元,金額雖小,卻展現了穩健的步伐。幾個星期以來,包括德文版的《金融時報》等在內,都紛紛邀訪沃格,報導萊芬森銀行的故事。

 這位名不見經傳的小銀行,今天之所以引起矚目,有兩個重要的理由。第一,在這場金融風暴中,萊芬森幾乎成了人們口中好銀行的縮影,學者專家們所提的金融改革目標,早就在萊芬森行之有年。比方說,國際金融組織(Institute of International Finance)最近公布了一份花了九個多月所進行的金融業「最佳實務」研究,該組織的結論認為:銀行風險的「控管」、執行長的「擔當」、業者的「自律」,是銀行業「贏回信心」必須做的幾件事。

 說來諷刺,從風險控管到擔當自律,本來就是經營者必須具備的基本條件,卻一再被大銀行家們視若無睹。看看萊芬森,多年來,沃格毫不吝於告訴大家,從祖父到自己,有多麼痛恨資本主義。他自稱「反資本主義者」,跟馬克思一樣,他認為金錢是用來交易,而不應用來投機。因此,沃格不願意替顧客買股票,自己也從來不涉足整個銀行業瘋狂投入的金融遊戲。顧客放在他銀行的存款,沒有一分錢,捲入衍生性商品;今天,顧客們也從他身上,看見了風險控管、擔當與自律的榜樣。

 其次,也更重要的是,萊芬森銀行的經營模式,讓人們重溫了銀行業應有的初衷:可信賴的金融服務。這幾年,全球銀行業紛紛朝著規模更大、服務更多、商品更創新的方向急奔,表面上,要滿足顧客更多的需求,替顧客創造更多財富,但實際上,卻距離這樣的目標愈來愈遠。存款戶被遊說把儲蓄變投機,投資戶被誘惑投入高風險商品,信用卡客戶被收取高額利息,貸款戶如果還不出錢來,還會被討債公司修理。這,是我們所需要的銀行嗎?

 跟你所能想像的大銀行家們不同,沃格沒有大野心,只想專注地服務他的街坊鄰居。因此,他謝絕外人,只有蓋姆斯菲的居民,可以在萊芬森開戶。什麼時候,你我居住的地方,也能有這麼一家可信賴的小銀行呢?
