esta é uma das boas covers do clássico de tom waits. até a minha scarlett johansson o gravou, embora a sua interpretação esteja muito aquém da de miss cole, cuja voz se adapta muito bem à atmosfera da canção. e há que destacar o ritmo mais lento e a inclusão de uma extraordinária harmónica como solista (tocada por howard levy).



I've come 500 miles
Just to see your halo
Come from St. Petersburg
Scarlett and me
When I open my eyes
I was blind as can be
And to give a man luck
He must fall in the sea
And she wants you to steal and get caught
For she loves you for all that you are not
When you're falling down
Falling down

You forget all the roses
Don't come around on Sunday
She's not gonna choose you
For standing so tall
Go on take a swig of that poison
And like it
And now don't ask for silverware
Don't ask for nothing
Go on and put your ear to the ground
You know you'll be hearing that sound
Falling down
You're falling down falling down
When you're falling down
Falling down falling down

Go on down see that wrecking ball
Come swing in on her now
Everyone knew that hotel was a goner
They broke all the windows
And took all the door knobs
And they hauled it away
In a couple of days
Now someone yelled timber
Take off your hat
We all look smaller
Down here on the ground
When you're falling down
Falling down falling down
Someone's falling down
Falling down falling down

esta é uma das mais simples e maravilhosas canções escritas por tom waits. e não conheço ninguém que a ouça e lhe fique indiferente. na banda sonora original de "one from the heart" é cantada por crystal gayle. aqui o desafio reside entre estas duas versões:






a) a de tom waits







b) a de holly cole



Take me home 
you silly boy
put your arms around me
take me home 
you silly boy
all the world's not round without you

I'm so sorry 
that I broke your heart
please don't leave my side
take me home
you silly boy
cause I'm still in love with you

no desejo de não querer crescer:






a) do menino tom waits





b) da menina holly cole

 

When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog that's
always changing things
Makes wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever want to be that way
I don't wanna grow up
Seems that folks turn into things
that they never want
The only thing to live for is today...
I'm gonna put a hole in my T.V. set
I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up
Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out and drinkin all night
I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on grand street
When I see the 5 oclock news
I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float on a broom
Fall in love, get married then boom
How the hell did it get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up

got no time for the corner boys,
down in the street makin' all that noise,
don't want no whores on eighth avenue,
'cause tonight i'm gonna be with you.

'cause tonight i'm gonna take that ride,
across the river to the jersey side,
take my baby to the carnival,
and i'll take you all on the rides.

down the shore everything's alright,
you're with your baby on a saturday night,
don't you know that all my dreams come true,
when i'm walkin' down the street with you,
sing sha la la la la la sha la la la.

you know she thrills me with all her charms,
when i'm wrapped up in my baby's arms,
my little angel gives me everything,
i know someday that she'll wear my ring.

so don't bother me cause i got no time,
i'm on my way to see that girl of mine,
nothin' else matters in this whole wide world,
when you're in love with a jersey girl,
sing sha la la la la la la.

and i call your name, i can't sleep at night,
sha la la la la la la.










[ a verdadeira canção da minha vida é obviamente o original de mr. thomas alan waits,
mas gosto da interpretação corajosa de miss holly cole que, consciente e culpadamente,
resolveu reinventá-la assim - e condená-la a ser ainda mais que mais-que-perfeita... ]
