yup. And you know it's true because I've never heard any musician say anything bad about him

I'm loving Small Change at the moment.
"The Piano Has Been Drinking" is pure genius. Who comes up with this stuff?
The man is a fucking genius. I just discovered The Heart of Saturday Night today.
You'll never tire of this album. It may not be his best album but damn it, nothing in his catalogue swaggers as much as The Heart of Saturday Night.

I dare anyone to categorize Tom. He is the Nietzsche of music. The end of modernity.

Tom Waits should run for God

Satan, too. I think he could handle both jobs.

some of the 'singapore' lyrics hit me well today:
We sail tonight for Singapore, we're all as mad as hatters here
I've fallen for a tawny Moor, took off to the land of Nod
Drank with all the Chinamen, walked the sewers of Paris
I danced along a colored wind, dangled from a rope of sand
You must say goodbye to me
We sail tonight for Singapore, don't fall asleep while you're ashore
Cross your heart and hope to die when you hear the children cry
Let marrow bone and cleaver choose while making feet for children shoes
Through the alley, back from hell, when you hear that steeple bell
You must say goodbye to me
Wipe him down with gasoline 'til his arms are hard and mean From now on boys this iron boat's your home So heave away, boys
We sail tonight for Singapore, take your blankets from the floor
Wash your mouth out by the door, the whole town's made of iron ore
Every witness turns to steam, they all become Italian dreams
Fill your pockets up with earth, get yourself a dollar's worth Away boys, away boys, heave away
The captain is a one-armed dwarf, he's throwing dice along the wharf In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king, so take this ring
We sail tonight for Singapore, we're all as mad as hatters here
I've fallen for a tawny Moor, took off to the land of Nod
Drank with all the Chinamen, walked the sewers of Paris
I drank along a colored wind, I dangled from a rope of sand
You must say goodbye to me

I have a question.
I don't have "swordfish" but I noticed it has "franks wild years" on it. Is this the same version that is the title track to the other CD?

Honestly, Waits lyrics are the only that I can read separate from the music and still be completely enthralled. And the only album I have of his is Rain Dogs.
