中文歌詞：我們最需要好運的時候它在哪里，你踢起地上的落葉，魔法消失了。你告訴我你蔚藍的天空漸已灰暗，你告訴我你心中的熱情也已冷淡，而我不必再去堅持。站在情緒低谷的邊緣，你強裝微笑，品著咖啡。你告訴我……

 本網小評：不知多少人一天的生活是從鬧鐘開始的？對于這支曲子，很多人更喜歡它的MTV，所以，今天的點評也先從MTV最初那段先聲奪人的“鬧鐘”開始——盡管，整部MTV之所以叫座，是因為它的故事與幾米漫畫里的《向左走向右走》頗有異曲同工之處……

 推薦歌曲：Free loop——這是一種什么樣的感覺？“想告訴愛人，我是愛你的，我已習慣了把你名字掛在口邊，但是不知為什么，今天就是懶懶的；想告訴家人，我一直夢想能不負眾望，為家鄉贏得聲譽，但是不知為什么，今天就是懶懶的……”

然而，即使是在這種無奈的、懶懶的情緒中徘徊，即使心中的愛無法表達，遙遠的理想無法實現，我還是要說：對我來說，失敗很難……

Bad day                  by Daniel Powter

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

You stand in the line justto hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been wayoff line
You'refalling to piecesevery time
And I don't need no carryin' on

Because 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
Youwork at a smileand yougo 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

(Oooh.. a holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole things 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

(yeah...)

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've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time？
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

 Words and phrases

1.   Where is the moment when we need it the most：依據上下文，這里的it應與bad day（糟糕的一天；壞運氣）相對應，指代“好運氣”。

2.   And I don't need no carryin' on=And I don't need to carry on（我不必再去堅持）
在歌曲Don't worry, be happy里，我們曾見過類似的表達，即“雙重否定依然表否定”。
