Tom Waits: I don't wanna grow up

Terminei hoje de ler o fantástico "Peter Pan" de J.M. Barrie e lembrei-me desta música de Tom Waits que pertence ao álbum Bone Machine. O vídeo foi realizado por Jim Jarmusch.

When I’m lying in my bed at night
I don’t wanna grow up
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
I don’t wanna grow up

A vida é, para mim, cada vez mais um conjunto de peças que se encaixam e desencaixam à medida que esta nos vai pregando partidas mais ou menos cómicas. Por vezes somos nós a rir, por vezes é de nós de quem riem...

Em relação ao livro, não resisto em colocar aqui o meu extracto preferido:

Sometimes, though not often, he had dreams, and they were more painful than the dreams of other boys. For hours he could not be separated from these dreams, though he wailed piteously in them. They had to do, I think, with the riddle of his existence. At such times it had been Wendy's custom to take him out of bed and sit with him on her lap, soothing him in dear ways of her own invention, and when he grew calmer to put him back to bed before he quite woke up, so that he should not know of the indignity to which she had subjected him.

I don't wanna grow up!
