My name is Oscar and I love to play the tin drum

I take him with me wherever I go

When the tin drum hits, you're out of luck

Before I knew it, I had grown up

And there are fields, guns, smoke, ruins, crying, running men, and women in four-layer skirts.

I'd also like to get back under the old woman's skirt if I could.

But the train had to take me away to another unknown skirt.

Or it's initially mixed with tobacco leaf sweat, or wrapped in sweet, fresh and magical, or aura mysterious with cinnamon and nutmeg. Beating the tin drum, I have drilled under one skirt after another.

White foam bloomed on her, I rushed up to open my mouth and swallowed it. It turns out that the entrance to heaven, the other side of time, is just in the middle of her.

She said I was just scrambling around, not knowing what life was or what death was.

I still can't forget her blue eyeballs, and it's not just hers.

In a broad sense, blue is infinitely close to transparent blue, and the blue is bright. It should be pierced with broken glass ballast.

In the end, I had to bury my little iron drum. Just like three years old, fall, fall, and be born again.

The Tin Drum quotes

  • Bebra: You must join us, you must!

    Oskar Matzerath: You know, Mr. Bebra... to tell the truth, I prefer to be a member of the audience, and let my little art flower in secret.

    Bebra: My dear Oskar, trust an experienced colleague. Our kind must never sit in the audience. Our kind must perform and run the show, or the others will run *us*. The others are coming. They will occupy the fairgrounds, they will stage torchlight parades, build rostrums, fill the rostrums, and from those rostrums preach our destruction.

  • Oskar Matzerath: There once was a drummer. His name was Oskar. He lost his poor mama, who had eat to much fish. There was once a credulous people... who believed in Santa Claus. But Santa Claus was really... the gas man! There was once a toy merchant. His name was Sigismund Markus... and he sold tin drums lacquered red and white. There was once a drummer. His name was Oskar. There was once a toy merchant... whose name was Markus... and he took all the toys in the world away with him.
