Bad Day

聽到這歌是在這季 American Idol 裡面，每當有人被淘汰播出參賽的歷程時，都是用這首歌當襯底的音樂。我也沒有那個閒功夫去查這是哪首歌是誰唱的，大概就是準時收看一下要淘汰人的那段這樣。不過在最後一集 Daniel Powter 終於現身演唱，戴了頂罩頭毛帽，據說是因為小時出車禍頭頂有很明顯的傷疤之故。這季選出來的 Taylor Hicks 結束後馬上就當了贊助商 Ford 的廣告主角，在廣告裡又唱又跳賣車子；但據說這隻廣告很快就被選為美國人最厭煩的廣告，Ford 也就很識相地迅速抽換，新的廣告裡完全沒有 Taylor ，連歌聲都消去了只剩音樂。唉，就說應該選 Katherine McPhee 的嘛，就算歌沒 Taylor 唱得好又怎麼樣呢？這節目是要選偶像而不是選唱將的呀！不然 Daniel Powter 為甚麼要戴帽子呢？﹝雖然他很可能也是 one hit wonder 就是了。﹞

Bad Day / Daniel Powter



Where is the moment when needed the most? / You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost / you tell me your blue sky's fade to grey / you tell me your passion's gone away / And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low / You're faking a smile with the coffee to go / You tell me your life's been way off line / You're falling to pieces everytime / And I don't need no carryin' on

Cause you had a bad day / You're taking one down / You sing a sad song just to turn it around / You say you don't know / You tell me don't lie / You work at a smile and you go for a ride / You had a bad day / The camera don't lie / You're coming back down and you really don't mind / You had a bad day / You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday / The point is they laugh at what you say / And I don't need no carryin' on / You had a bad day / You're taking one down / You sing a sad song just to turn it around / You say you don't know / You tell me don't lie / You work at a smile and you go for a ride / You had a bad day / The camera don't lie / You're coming back down and you really don't mind / You had a bad day

Sometimes the system goes on the blink / And the whole thing it turns out wrong / You might not make it back and you know / That you could be well oh that strong / And I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most / Oh you and I / You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost / Cause you had a bad day / You're taking one down / You sing a sad song just to turn it around / You say you don't know / You tell me don't lie / You work at a smile and you go for a ride / You had a bad day / You see what you like / And how does it feel for one more time / You had a bad day / You had a bad day / Had a bad day / Had a bad day
