It's friday! and i've decided to continue this through the weekend. so you can have two more days of tom waits lyrics after today. i'm obviously not getting to all of his albums, but i'm trying to get to all of my favorites. however, i missed Franks Wild Years from 1987. it's a great album, but i have better things to get to. So, right...

today's Tom Waits lyrics are from Raindogs. which is easily my favorite Tom Waits album...and one of my favorite albums of all time. Picking the song was tough, because they're all great. I thought about Singapore and Jockey Full of Bourbon, but instead i went with this one. i think one of the deciding factors in choosing it was a Tom Waits apearance...

hmm, ive never even heard of him. 
rosemarie:
That Sea Monkey ad that you posted made me laugh so hard! I have not seen one in so many years. I had one of those velvet bags too. Probably is the first "purse" I ever had.
thanks for all of the suggestions for tom waits songs to post. and if you want to make a suggestion, i will consider it. but today's song is from one of the most frightening albums i've ever heard. there are moaning demons and clanking bones and the music is from a play written by william s. burroughs. this song is from The BLack Rider....

Evening, sir. How goes things? 
marlowe:
oh, by the way... nice eyes!
edited to say that my comment doesn't do justice and that I am a fanatic about eyes. (maybe not the window to the soul, but damn close)

day two of a week of Tom Waits lyrics...
who are you by tom waits and kathleen brennan
They're lining up
To mad dog your tilta-whirl
three shots for a dollar
Win a real live doll
All the lies that you tell
I believed them so well. Take them back
Take them back to your red house
For that fearful leap into the dark

i love the i don't wanna grow up song the best.
serendipitous:
Time for school is easy enough when I keep such odd hours and do it all (and I mean all) online. Money... well, I get the money back at tax time.... so it's really a temp loan 
I agree that there should be a Tom Waits week each and every year! And I am so jealous you've actually seen him.... no one ever wants to play in Florida. But the one I saw on tv was from Austin City Limits in 79 and he was amazing to say the least. Do Small Change!! I won't delve into it much, but you have to love a song that says "cheshire grins and the raconteurs and roustabouts said buddy come on in cause the dreams ain't broken down here now now ...they're walking with a limp...." Seriously, who uses the words raconteurs and roustabouts? Happy happy day!

Tom...*swoon*
hare:
my fav Tom song:
"The Ghosts Of Saturday Night (After Hours At Napoleone's Pizza House)"
A cab combs the snake,
Tryin' to rake in that last night's fare,
And a solitary sailor
Who spends the facts of his life like small change on strangers...
Paws his inside P-coat pocket for a welcome twenty-five cents,
And the last bent butt from a package of Kents,
As he dreams of a waitress with Maxwell House eyes
And marmalade thighs with scrambled yellow hair.
Her rhinestone-studded moniker says, "Irene"
As she wipes the wisps of dishwater blonde from her eyes
And the Texaco beacon burns on,
The steel-belted attendant with a 'Ring and Valve Special'...
Cryin' "Fill'er up and check that oil"
"You know it could be a distributor and it could be a coil."
The early mornin' final edition's on the stands,
And that town cryer's cryin' there with nickels in his hands.
Pigs in a blanket sixty-nine cents,
Eggs - roll 'em over and a package of Kents,
Adam and Eve on a log, you can sink 'em damn straight,
Hash browns, hash browns, you know I can't be late.
And the early dawn cracks out a carpet of diamond
Across a cash crop car lot filled with twilight Coupe Devilles,
Leaving the town in a-keeping
Of the one who is sweeping
Up the ghost of Saturday night...

slowdive- catch the breeze
Feels like all the days are gone
Just catch the breeze
You know it had to fall
Rain, washes, ways down
And I, I want the world to pass
And I, I watch the wind to fly
You can believe in everything
You can believe it all
Hey, are you feeling something new
Just watch the rain, it helps in all...
