話說中一的時候，老師要求我們改個英文名。有位長輩見我的中文名有個「陽」字，建議我稱自己為 Sunny，不過我就不太喜歡。我揭一揭字典，當時覺得 James 這個名字頗有美感，但沒有想到與邦先生撞名，於是便用上這個英文名。班上另一位同學叫 Sunny，他見我每天都回家吃午餐，覺得我十分幸福，所以幫我改了「劉少」這個花名，之後同學都以此別稱叫我。
升上中二，忽然覺得 James 這個英文名很土。有位同學叫 Samuel，為人風趣幽默，很受同學歡迎。所以，我就傻下傻下叫自己做 Samson. 我還記得那時叫May做阿嫂，我的預言對了，不過在中六我離校時才成真。當時 Ms Lai 對我改英文名的這個舉措有點意外。後來有位教英文的 native speaker 問我把長頭髮去了哪裡，才知道出事。
在聖經故事中，Samson 力大無窮，力量源自那束長頭髮。後來因為一個「色」字，終以悲劇收場。問題其實不大，因為大部分男人都是好色，只是程度不同，我亦不在此扮清高。到了中五的時候人人叫我「鮑魚」，花名的來歷、出處連我自己都弄不清楚，不過有一段時間這個花名有不雅成份。到了大專，大家都叫我 Samson，沿用至今。

This room I've gotten so used to
It's time to leave it now
Setting off on a new journey
still perplexed (困惑的) about it
In the bus headed for the station
I texted my friend
I called from the morning platform
But it felt kind of wrong
Just brought along one old guitar
I left all my photos behind
Let go of something to gain something else
Just a repetition of that?
Putting on a bold front
always leads to dreams
If you become afraid it ends there
In a train that's started to move
I became a little teary
This town, continuing beyond the window
I prayed it would stay unchanged
The one that gave me that old guitar
Said Tokyo is a scary place
I've decided to quit searching for answers
I'm fine with doing it all wrong
Buildings cut off the red sunset
Though I hold back the tears
Every time a new morning arrives
There are times when we're still in doubt, right?
There are times when we're still in doubt, right?
That much I know
Well, I couldn't tell you
Why she felt that way,
She felt it every day.
And I couldn't help her,
I just watched her make
The same mistakes again.
What's wrong, what's wrong now?
Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs,
Where she belongs.
She wants to go home,
But nobody's home.
It's where she lies
Broken inside.
With no place to go,
No place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
Open your eyes
And look outside,
Find the reasons why.
You've been rejected,
And now you can't find
What you've left behind.
Be strong, be strong now.
Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs,
Where she belongs.
She wants to go home,
But nobody's home.
It's where she lies
Broken inside.
With no place to go,
No place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
Her feelings she hides.
Her dreams she can't find.
She's losing her mind.
She's fallen behind.
She can't find her place.
She's losing her faith.
She's fallen from grace.
She's all over the place.
She wants to go home,
But nobody's home.
It's where she lies,
Broken inside.
With no place to go,
No place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
She's lost inside, lost inside, oh oh oh.
She's lost inside, lost inside, oh oh oh.
