借口 (Excuse)

In the latest saga, a man used his 39 years old son's passport to leave the country. Despite having the wrong passport, the man was able to check in at the Tiger Airways counter in order to board his flight to Ho Chi Minh City for his six-day holiday. He managed to clear past Certis Cisco officers at the entrance to the restricted area. He discovered his blunder, and upon arrival at Ho Chi Minh City, he informed immigration authorities there and they sent him back immediately on the same plane back to Singapore.

I cannot help but think of Jay Chou's song. Well, he has a song that best describe the emotions of the men involved in the saga mentioned above. Who else but the man behind the counter, the cock eyed man himself, the cock eyed man's son...throw in some imagination as you listen to the song while reading the lyrics. The words in red have been edited.
Life sucks, shit happens. This is one crap to destress... ...

Is it a case of a common man on the street but a bit cock eyed? Is it a case of man-in-sotong plus cock eyed? Or is it something else that reads C-O-M-P-L-A-C-E... ...? I don't know and I don't want to know.

翻着我们的照片

那张脸若隐若现

去年的冬天

我们笑得很甜

看着你哭泣的脸

对着我说报歉

来不及听见

你已走得很远

也许你已经发现我

也许已经很难回头

我知道是自己做错

请再给我一个理由

说你要告我

就算是我不懂

能不能原谅我

请不要把照片当作你的借口

我知道坚持要走是你照片的借口

请你回头

我会告你一直告到最后

就算没有结果

我也能够承受

我知道你的痛

是我给的承诺

你说给过我纵容

沉默是因为包容

如果要走

请你记得我 (Remember me, I am the one who gave you permission to leave?)

如果难过

请你忘了我 (If you feel bad, forget about me. Don't ever mention my name to the policeman?)
