The Staircase (1969)
This film (the graveyard scene, more exactly) made me write »Not Alone« on »When Sun Falls On My Feet«. It’s about two gay London hairdressers (Richard Burton), one who is bald (Rex Harrison), and their troubled relationship at a time when homosexuality weren’t so »gay« in the eyes of authorities and the mass. Wonderful, both funny and dark. Now it’s on youtube (impossible to get on dvd). Lovely.
I Don’t Wanna Grow Up
When I’m lyin’ in my bed at night
I don’t wanna grow up
Nothin’ 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 me 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 wanna be that way
I don’t wanna grow up
Seems like folks turn into things
That they’d never want
The only thing to live for
Is today
I’m gonna put a hole in my TV set
I don’t wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
And 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 drinking all night
And 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 o’clock 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 me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don’t wanna float a broom
Fall in and get married then boom
How the hell did I get here so soon
I don’t wanna grow up
OH YOKO // JOHN LENNON
Perfect and beautiful.

One of my favourite Aki Kaurismäki scenes. From Take Care Of Your Scarf, Tatiana (1994).
