Chegava a qualquer cidade e alugava dois ou três quartos, distantes uns dos outros, mas nunca pernoitava duas vezes de seguida no mesmo.
Em todos eles simulava viver há muito tempo. Num, espalhava bugigangas de plástico, compradas aos vendedores ambulantes, sobre os poucos desengonçados móveis. Noutro, pendurava roupa nos pregos que tinham servido para pendurar estampas baratas, e que alguém se dera ao incómodo de roubar.
Por vezes, deitado, olhava para os pregos espetados nas paredes e tentava perceber o que levava alguém a roubar aquelas arrumadinhas paisagens suíças que, infalivelmente, decoravam os quartos das pensões.

As soon as you're born they make you feel small By giving you no time instead of it all Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years Then they expect you to pick a career When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV And you think you're so clever and class less and free But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they are telling you still But first you must learn how to smile as you kill If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me If you want to be a hero well just follow me - John Lennon, Working Classe Hero -
Look at the mirror
It doesn't know you anymore
It doesn't talk anymore
It doesn't kiss you anymore
You don't know who you are
You just have to know that mirror look
And all, everyone, everything, is too much
For you...
