I like well-worn women -- I like it when you can read their milage on their face -- alcohol soft with middle age, a nice soft warm belly, great flanks, and a smile in their eyes that can light up a room?
On the Nickel Tom Waits
sticks and stones will break my bones, but i always will be true, and when your mama is dead and gone, i'll sing this lullabye just for you, and what becomes of all the little boys, who never comb their hair, well they're lined up all around the block, on the nickel over there.
so you better bring a bucket, there is a hole in the pail, and if you don't get my letter, then you'll know that i'm in jail, and what becomes of all the little boys, who never say their prayers, well they're sleepin' like a baby, on the nickel over there.
and if you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star, well you'll find out where the scarecrows sit, just like punchlines between the cars, and i know a place where a royal flush, can never beat a pair, and even thomas jefferson, is on the nickel over there.
so ring around the rosie, you're sleepin' in the rain, and you're always late for supper, and man you let me down again, i thought i heard a mockingbird, roosevelt knows where, you can skip the light, with grady tuck, on the nickel over there.
so what becomes of all the little boys, who run away from home, well the world just keeps gettin' bigger, once you get out on your own, so here's to all the little boys, the sandman takes you where, you'll be sleepin' with a pillowman, on the nickel over there.
so let's climb up through that button hole, and we'll fall right up the stairs, and i'll show you where the short dogs grow, on the nickel over there.

The fruit just falls off the trees around here! I do think this is paradise...

I love, love, love this song!
San Diego Serenade Early Tom Waits
I never saw the morning 'til I stayed up all night I never saw the sunshine 'til you turned out the light I never saw my hometown until I stayed away too long I never heard the melody, until I needed a song.
I never saw the white line, 'til I was leaving you behind I never knew I needed you 'til I was caught up in a bind I never spoke 'I love you' 'til I cursed you in vain, I never felt my heartstrings until I nearly went insane.
I never saw the east coast 'til I move to the west I never saw the moonlight until it shone off your breast I never saw your heart 'til someone tried to steal, tried to steal it away I never saw your tears until they rolled down your face.

(Looking For) The Heart of Saturday Night Tom Waits
Well you gassed her up Behind the wheel With your arm around your sweet one In your Oldsmobile Barrelin' down the boulevard You're looking for the heart of Saturday night
And you got paid on Friday And your pockets are jinglin' And you see the lights You get all tinglin' cause you're cruisin' with a 6 And you're looking for the heart of Saturday night
Then you comb your hair Shave your face Tryin' to wipe out ev'ry trace All the other days In the week you know that this'll be the Saturday You're reachin' your peak
Stoppin' on the red You're goin' on the green 'Cause tonight'll be like nothin' You've ever seen And you're barrelin' down the boulevard Lookin' for the heart of Saturday night
Tell me is the crack of the poolballs, neon buzzin? Telephone's ringin'; it's your second cousin Is it the barmaid that's smilin' from the corner of her eye? Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye.
Makes it kind of quiver down in the core 'Cause you're dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before And now you're stumblin' You're stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night
Well you gassed her up And you're behind the wheel With your arm around your sweet one In your Oldsmobile Barrellin' down the boulevard, You're lookin' for the heart of Saturday night
Is the crack of the poolballs, neon buzzin? Telephone's ringin'; it's your second cousin And the barmaid is smilin' from the corner of her eye Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye.
Makes it kind of special down in the core And you're dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before It's found you stumblin' Stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night And you're stumblin' Stumblin onto the heart of Saturday night

Nighthawk Postcards Tom Waits
Yeah, you check out the street and it looks like there?s kind of a... Kind of a blur drizzle down the plate glass And as a neon swizzle stick is stirrin? up the sultry night air Looks like a yellow biscuit of a buttery cue ball moon Rollin? maverick across an obsidian sky And as the buses go groanin? and wheezin? Down on the corner I?m freezin? On a restless boulevard at a midnight road I?m across town from Easy Street With the tight knots of moviegoers and out-of-towners on the stroll The buildings towerin? high above lit like dominoes or black dice Used car salesmen dressed up in Purina Checkerboard slacks and Foster Grant wrap-arounds Pacing in front of Rainbow, Earl Scheib, $39.95 merchandise Like barkers at a shootin? gallery They throw out a Texas Guinan routine: ?Hello sucker, we like your money just as well as anybody else?s here Come on over here now Let me put the cut back in your strut and the glide back in your stride Now climb aboard a custom Oldsmobile, let me take you for a ride? Or they give you the P. T. Barnum bit: ?There?s a sucker born every minute You just happened to be comin? along at the right time, you know Come over here now?
And you know, all the harlequin sailors are on the stroll In search of "LIKE NEW", "NEW PAINT" and decent factory air and AM-FM dreams And all the piss yellow gypsy cabs They?re stacked up in the taxi zones And they?re waitin? like pinball machines to be ticking off a joy ride to a magical place like "Truckers Welcome" diners with dirt lots full of Peterbilts and Kenworths and Jimmy?s and the like They?re hi-ballin? with bankrupt brakes Man, they?re overdriven and they?re underpaid They?re overfed, and they?re a day late and a dollar short But Christ, I got my lips around a bottle and I got my foot on the throttle and I?m standin? on the corner Standin? on the corner like a just got in town jasper I?m on a street corner with a gasper Lookin? for some kind of a Cheshire billboard grin Stroking a goateed chin Using parking meters as walking sticks on the inebriated stroll With my eyelids propped open at half mast
But you know, over at Chubb?s Pool and Snooker Well, it was a nickel after two, yeah, it was a nickel after two And in the cobalt steel blue dream smoke Why, it was the radio that groaned out the hit parade And the chalk squeaked and the floorboards creaked And an Olympia sign winked through a torn yellow shade Old Jack Chance himself leanin? up against a Wurlitzer Man, he was eyeballin? out a five ball combination shot Impossible you say? Hard to believe? Perhaps out of the realm of possibility? Naaaah!
Cause he be stretchin? out long tawny fingers out across a cool green felt in a provocative golden gate He got a full table railshot that?s no sweat And I leaned up against my bannister I wandered over to the Wurlitzer and I punched A2 I was lookin? for maybe ?Wine Wine Wine? by the Night Caps starring Chuck E. Weiss Or maybe... maybe a little somethin? called ?High Blood Pressure? by George "Cryin in the Streets" Perkins, no dice Cause that?s Life, that?s what all the people say You?re ridin? high in April, you?re seriously shot down in May I know I?m gonna change that tune When I?m standing underneath a buttery moon that?s all melted off to one side Okay
It was just about that time that the sun came crawlin? yellow out of a manhole at the foot of 23rd Street And a Dracula moon in a black disguise was making its way back to its pre-paid room at the St. Moritz Hotel And the El train tumbled across the trestles And it sounded like the ghost of Gene Krupa With an overhead cam and glasspacks And the whispering brushes of wet radials on wet pavement With a traffic jam session on Belmont tonight And the rhapsody of the pending evening I leaned up against my bannister And I?ve been looking for some kind of an emotional investment With romantic dividends Yeah, kind of a physical negotiation is underway As I attempt to consolidate all my missed weekly rendezvous into one low monthly payment, through the nose With romantic residuals and legs akimbo But the chances are that more than likely Standin? underneath a moon holdin? water I'll probably be held over for another smashed weekend Thank you...
