Rain Dogs
Tom Waits
(Island Records, 1985)
... music to live by ...

There’s no other voice in the world like this one:
Let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or Better on a blanket by the stairs
I’ll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
So send me off to bed for evermore
—from “Tango ‘Til They’re Sore”
This recording, a must, must have –

one of the best albums ever. such lyrics, & used to have that photo hanging above my desk.
"Edna Million in a drop dead suit
Dutch Pink on a downtown train
Two-dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot
I'm in the corner on the pouring rain.
hey little bird..."
"The moon in the window
and a bird on the pole
We can always find a millionaire
to shovel all the coal"
Love Waits, especially that album. I'd be satisfied with him reading to me the dictionary.
I know exactly what you mean, Rachel. Thanks for the read.
