兩首主題相彷的歌

我這個年紀的人,可能會覺得盧冠廷是被遺忘的好歌手。管他的,他的《老年時》真有趣。
老年時 頭髮甩晒 鬚亦漸漸白
問你會否仍然痴纏 長伴我身邊
來日老年時 震震下星月下踱步
問你會否仍然叫我 Honey 同渡每一天

明白你今天的那肖臉 明日變化青春終失去
我仍真心 痴痴的一顆心 仍照舊
明日也許搬遷上宇宙 乘坐穿梭機一飛衝天去
攜手再行 漫步星空每天

想起披頭四有首差不多的《When I'm 64》,主題一樣,細節上另有發揮。
When I get older losing my hair,Many years from now.
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine.
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door,
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.
You'll be older too,
And if you say the word,
I could stay with you.
I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride,
Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.
Every summer we can rent a cottage,
In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera ,Chuck & Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line,
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.

第二首歌的作者保羅麥卡尼,今年夏天剛滿六十四,但同時卻和妻子離婚。盧冠廷仍遠未到六十四。
對我們來說,六十四和六百四差不多地遙遠而模糊。
