191203二午晴風19°C 44%:”Smoke Gets in Po‘s Eyes”

    周日晚睇電視,見打出「煙霧彈」字樣,仲以爲忍者有新招。
    但接着的24小時,警方由最初稱數百暴徒掟煙霧餅,到最後改稱有人掟磚同樽。
    這使我想起1950年代末來港初期,美國四男一女黑人美聲團The Platters(金喉主音Tony Williams)的經典”Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”。但今天若在港商場「和你唱,歌詞怕要改成:

They asked me how I knew
Smokey bombs were true
I of course replied,
"Something there on fire cannot be denied

They said, "someday you'll find all those claims are blind"
When your heart's on fire, You must realize smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them. And I loudly yelled they dare to doubt my sight
Yet today my claim has blown away,
I am without my fan

Now angry mobs deride fury I cannot hide
So I frown and say "when a hate flame fades,
Smoke gets in your eyes"
