I don't wanna grow up
El mejor alegato que he escuchado a favor del Peter Pan que todos llevamos dentro ( y sí, me gusta mucho más la versión de Ramones que la original de Tom Waits).

La sed insaciable
Decir adiós... La vida es eso.
Y yo te digo adiós, y sigo...
Volver a amar es el castigo
de los que amaron con exceso.
Amar y amar toda la vida,
y arder y arder en esa llama.
Y no saber por qué se ama...
Y no saber por qué se olvida...
Coger las rosas una a una,
beber un vino y otro vino,
y andar y andar por un camino
que no conduce a parte alguna.
Sentir más sed en cada fuente
y ver más sombra en cada abismo,
en este amor que es siempre el mismo,
pero que siempre es diferente.
Porque en el sordo desacuerdo
de lo soñado y lo vivido,
siempre, del fondo del olvido,
nace la muerte de un recuerdo.
Y en esta angustia que no cesa,
que toca el alma y no la toca,
besar la sombra de otra boca
en cada boca que se besa...

Lou Reed - Dirty Blvd.
Uno de mis temas favoritos desde siempre. Soy poco conocedor de la obra de Lou Reed, he escuchado a la Velvet de pasada, pero no me ha enganchado. En cambio este disco me encanta, y este tema más.
Pedro lives out of the Wilshire Hotel
He looks out a window without glass
And the walls are made of cardboard, newspapers on his feet
And his father beats him 'cause he's too tired to beg
He's got 9 brothers and sisters
They're brought up on their knees
It's hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the thighs
Pedro dreams of being older and killing the old man
But that's a slim chance
He's going to the boulevard
He's gonna end up on the dirty boulevard
He's going out to the dirty boulevard
He's going down to the dirty boulevard
This room cost $2,000 a month
You can believe it, man, it's true
Somewhere there's a landlord's laughing till he wets his pants
No one dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything
They dream of dealing on the dirty boulevard
Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor I'll piss on 'em
That's what the Statue of Bigotry says
Your poor huddled masses
Let's club 'em to death
And get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard
Get 'em out on the dirty boulevard
Goin' out to the dirty boulevard
They're going down on the dirty boulevard
Goin' out
Outside it's a bright night
There's an opera at Lincoln Center
Movie stars arrive by limousine
The klieg lights shoot up over the skyline of Manhattan
But the lights are out on the mean streets
A small kid stands by the Lincoln Tunnel
He's selling plastic roses for a buck
The traffic's backed up to 39th Street
The TV whores are calling the cops out for a suck
And back at the Wilshire, Pedro sits there dreaming
He's found a book on Magic in a garbage can
He looks at the pictures
And stares up at the cracked ceiling
"At the count of 3," he says,
"I hope I can disappear."
And fly, fly away from this dirty boulevard
I want to fly from the dirty boulevard
I want to fly from the dirty boulevard
I want to fly-fly-fly-fly from the dirty boulevard
I want to fly away
I want to fly
Fly, fly away
I want to fly
Fly, fly away
Fly, fly away
Fly, fly away
Fly, fly away
I want to fly
