Monday, Tuesday, Wedesnday Born I Was

Thursday Child é sem dúvida um dos temas mais maravilhosos de David Bowie. Em 1999, data de edição do single que incorpora o excelente "Hours" surge este tema arrebatador, acompanhado pelo teledisco igualmente surpreendente de Walter Stern. Há quem afirme que a imagem da capa de "Hours" é uma espécie de Pietà de Bowie, há quem intitule "Hours" o trabalho mais autobiográfico que marca uma nova consciência na carreira e na vida de Bowie, há quem defenda a ideia de redenção, o consentimento, a maturidade, a arte de envelhecer, o saudosismo com o retomar do All Tomorow's Parties dos Velvet Underground... pela minha parte, desde a primeira vez que ouvi este tema pensei: finalmente uma letra que diz tudo!!!

"All of my life Ive tried so hard
Doing my best with what I had
Nothing much happened all the same
Something about me stood apart
A whisper of hope that seemed to fail
Maybe Im born right out of my time
Breaking my life in two
(throw me tomorrow, oh oh)
Now that I really got a chance(throw me tomorrow, oh oh )
Everythings falling into place(throw me tomorrow, oh oh)
Seeing my past to let it go(throw me tomorrow, oh oh)
Only for you I dont regret
And I was thursdays child
(monday, tuesday, wednesday, born I was)
(monday, tuesday, wednesday, born I was)
Sometimes I cry my heart to sleep
Shuffling days and lonesome nights
Sometimes my courage fell to my feet
Lucky old son is in my sky
Nothing prepared me for your smile
Lighting the darkness of my soul
Innocence in your arms
(throw me tomorrow, oh oh)
Now that I really got a chance
(throw me tomorrow, oh oh )
Oh ho, everythings falling into place
(throw me tomorrow, oh oh)
Seeing my past to let it go(throw me tomorrow, oh oh)
Only for you I dont regret
And I was thursdays child
(monday, tuesday, wednesday, born I was)"
