Dead Valley
(Music & Lyric: simple-person)
How many childhood dreams
Faded and forgotten
Slowly, silently, I’ve abided to live on
Pretending I’m free
Got some complaints, but, I let it go
Offering my bloomy youth, I’ve abided
I love you, obsessed with the woods
Collecting verses, in the mist and rain
Cultivating flowers in the dead valley
How many times, you turn around in a hush
In the wind, darkness and cold, you smile and say,
“The best ever scenery is this dead valley!”

CD2-06-Pirate Song
Pirate Song
(Music & Lyric: WONG Yan-kwai; Intro: In C by T. Riley)
Hill not turning; wave turn
Sea not turning; land turn
Half the Earth behind the ship, half the Earth ahead
Water not turning, land turn
Hill not turning, road turn
Five dumpy at the stern, six or seven under the cabin
Fish not turning, wave turn
Wind not turning, land turn
Heart not turning, land turn
Bowl not turning, rice turn
The bow smashing the wave, half above and half beneath

CD2-05-Garden
Garden
(Music & Lyric: simple-person)
Will the rain drip again from my roof,
Will fragrance of flowers fly again through my window,
Will I see the sunset shine again on your face …
… while you sit in front of the hut
I search for your smiles in the farm,
And search for your chants that you’ve been persisting,
And the tears that tell your heart and water the roselle days.
Our hands clasped tightly,
Defending the gentleness of this deserted garden,
Until the time when we are torn apart,
Obstinacy stays on our faces.

Mountain Song
(Music & Lyric: simple-person)
Hey Ho Hey Ho ... We've got no mountain song here.
Hey Ho Hey Ho ... No, no mountain song. So what!
Hey Ho Hey Ho ... Let's write our own mountain song.
Hey Ho Hey Ho ... What should we sing about then?
If we can save our village,
this song will have a home.
If we can't save our village,
this song will have no homeland.
If we can save our village,
this song will be bold and loud.
If we can't save out village,
this song ... will roam the land.

CD2-03-Barefoot
Barefoot
(Music: simple-person; Lyric: LIU Wai-tong)
Barefoot stepping, barefoot stepping
Feet no shoes, child no home
Barefoot stepping, barefoot stepping
Bulldozer cut the crop
Build the highrise, steamy hot, fat the giant mice
Build the highrise, thin the people
Barefoot red, barefoot red
Glasses clinking, devils smiling
Barefoot red, barefoot red
People’s blood and sweat in vain
Speed up the iron, crazy the train, the giant mice too
Speed up the iron, crashing homes and dreams
Barefoot stepping, barefoot stepping
Strengthen our feet to stop the machine
Barefoot stepping, barefoot stepping
Feet in the mud, home we are on Earth

CD2-02-Casual Workers
Casual Workers
(Music & Lyric: simple-person)
Boss are tricky
Breaking down a full time job into pieces
Violating the principles of laws and usual practices
We got nothing protected
Poor we casual workers
We work so hard but still not enough
We have contributed and should have our rights
Let’s go out and fight
We bear the bitterness and hardship everyday
Just for the money with blood and sweat
Shrugging our shoulders, close our eyes
Smile for the days
I’m proud, thru all ups and downs, I’m still who I am
Just some snowy hair wavering in the wind

香港本土的草根民謠樂隊《迷你噪音》，成立於2007年，2008年出版了首張CD《多麼美好》，以樸實而富質感的民謠聲音，灌錄了多首曾在街頭傳唱，伴隨我們一起抗爭的謠曲，把憤怒與苦澀化為美的力量。在我們的歌裏，有臨屋區小孩和公共屋邨居民的生活盼願，老工人的淡然回眸，性工作者的日記殘章，對葬身建築工地的工人的思念，與工人家屬同哭的心，社會異議者的羞怯情歌，與及二十年前的廣場酷熱。
事隔四年，《迷你噪音》走過了深圳工業區、澳門街頭球場、尖沙咀自由戰士廣場、書店、酒吧、菜園村、大學校園、劇場和默片電影院，現正埋首錄制第二張CD《死谷爛谷》，營煉著更醇厚卻也輕盈的呼喚。是次客廳式音樂會，將會成為CD內的其中一些聲音。
