Ruby Darbyshire - I Don't Want To Grow Up (Tom Waits cover)

Описание: I DON’T WANT TO GROW UP - TOM WAITS (1992 album BONE MACHINE)

There has been much analysis & speculation as to the meaning of the (WAITS) lyric with many critics finding references to earlier works by WAITS.

The TOM WAITS video is worth watching    • Tom Waits - I don't wanna grow up

SCARLETT JOHANSSON had a go at it too...

When I'm lying in my bed at night
I don't want to grow up
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
I don't want to 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 want to grow up
I don't ever want to be that way
I don't want to 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 want to grow up
Open up the medicine chest
I don't want to grow up
I don't want to have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't want to be filled with doubt
I don't want to be a good boy scout
I don't want to have to learn to count
I don't want to have the biggest amount
I don't want to grow up
Well when I see my parents fight
I don't want to grow up
They all go out and drinking all night
I don't want to grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothing out there but sad and gloom
I don't want to live in a big old tomb on grand street
When I see the 5 o'clock news
I don't want to grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I don't want to put no money down
I don't want to get a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't want to float on a broom
Fall in love, get married then boom
How the hell did it get here so soon
I don't want to grow up

Youngsters, from 7 to 16, took to the microphone in front of a sell-out audience at A’ the Airts Community Arts Centre in Sanquhar on Sunday 24th May 2015.
The concert & music workshop formed part of the 2015 Dumfries & Galloway Arts festival & was organised & filmed by local record label - smart indie.
For some of the kids, this was their first live performance yet all of them rose to the challenge with much confidence & good humour. It was a chance for the young musicians both to perform in public, to see others perform & to be coached in some basic performance & songwriting skills.
Deri Ronan, Ruby Darbyshire, Ava Bowie, Rowan Hastie, Blythe Moore, Troy Barbour, Eve Watson, Bethany Nicholson, Molly McKie, Charlie Carr, Cammy Walker, Sam Murphy and Mhari Prentice all took their turn to perform on voice, guitar, piano and pipes.
