I would but you couldn't hear me if you are still sitting on a yacht in Shark Bay. (I hate you

OK for all you Tom Waits afficiendos
Lets read Rain Dogs.
Rain Dogs
Inside a broken clock
splasjing the wine with all the Rain Dogs...
Taxi we'd rather walk
huddle a doorway with the Rain Dogs...
For I am a Rain Dog too!
Oh how we danced and we swallowed the nights
for it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh how we danced away all of the lights
we've always been out of our minds
The rum pours strong and thin
beat out the dustman with a Rain Dog...
Aboard a shipwreck train
give my umbrella to a Rain Dog...
For I am a Rain Dog too
Oh how we danced with the Rose of Tralee
her long hair black
as a raven
Oh how we danced and she wispered
to me
You'll never be goin back home!!
Tom Waits.

"Chocolate Jesus" through the microphone and "Big Rock Candy Love" are in my Waits collection to listen to. (I just had to go and check)
Oh this is a wonderful idea GG. Oh am now desperate for wine and small change on vinyl alas it is also time for sleep.
But before I go, here is another set of lyrics:
She Sends Me Blue Valentines
All The Way From Philadelphia
To Mark The Anniversary
Of Someone That I Used To Be
And It Feels Just Like Theres
A Warrant Out For My Arrest
Got Me Checkin In My Rearview Mirror
And I'm Always On The Run
Thats Why I Changed My Name
And I Didn't Think You'd Ever Find Me Here
To Send Me Blue Valentines
Like Half Forgotten Dreams
Like A Pebble In My Shoe
As I Walk These Streets
And The Ghost Of Your Memory
Is The Thistle In The Kiss
And The Burgler That Can Break A Roses Neck
It's The Tatooed Broken Promise
That I Hide Beneath My Sleeve
And I See You Every Time I Turn My Back
She Sends Me Blue Valentines
Though I Try To Remain At Large
They're Insisting That Our Love
Must Have A Eulogy
Why Do I Save All Of This Madness
In The Nightstand Drawer
There To Haunt Upon My Shoulders
Baby I Know
I'd Be Luckier To Walk Around Everywhere I Go
With A Blind And Broken Heart
That Sleeps Beneath My Lapel
She Sends Me My Blue Valentines
To Remind Me Of My Cardinal Sin
I Can Never Wash The Guilt
Or Get These Bloodstains Off My Handa
And It Takes A Lot Of Whiskey
To Take This Nightmares Go Away
And I Cut My Bleedin Heart Out Every Nite
And I Die A Little More On Each St. Valentines Day
Remember That I Promised I Would
Write You...
These Blue Valentines
Blue Valentines
Blue Valentines

Something so sentimental and beautiful and straight-ahead-honest about this song "Take it With Me". Hits ya hard if you're in a maudlin mood.
Lyrics are just sublime.
Phone's off the hook
No one knows where we are
It's a long time since I
Drank champagne
The ocean is blue
As blue as your eyes
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go
Old long since gone
Now way back when
We lived in Coney Island
Ain't no good thing
Ever dies
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go
Far far away a train
Whistle blows
Wherever you're goin
Wherever you've been
Waving good bye at the end
Of the day
You're up and you're over
And you're far away
Always for you, and
Forever yours
It felt just like the old days
We fell asleep on Beaula's porch
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go
All broken down by
The side of the road
I was never more alive or
Alone
I've worn the faces off
All the cards
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go
Children are playing
At the end of the day
Strangers are singing
On our lawn
It's got to be more
Than flesh and bone
All that you're loved
Is all you own
In a land there's a town
And in that town there's
A house
And in that house
There's a woman
And in that woman
There's a hart I love
I'm gonna take it
With me when I go
I'm gonna take it
With me when I go
Lyrics are just sublime.
