I've always been told to remember this
Don't let a kiss fool you Never marry for love Everything has its price Everything has its place What's more romantic than dying in the moonlight?

Money's just something you throw,
Off the back of a train, Got a head full of lightening, And a hat full of rain! |

Oh Man, this is tough!
From "Pony" (perhaps my favorite TW song) "I lived on nothin But dreams and train smoke Somehow my watch and chain Got lost." from "Shiver Me Timbers" "Where the clouds are like headlines On a new front page sky My tears are salt water And the moon's full and high" All of "Drunk on the Moon" & "Putnam County" Fom "Emotional Weather Report" "when the thunder storms start increasing over the southeast and south central portions of my apartment, I get upset and a line of thunderstorms was developing in the early morning ahead of a slow moving coldfront cold blooded with tornado watches issued shortly before noon Sunday, for the areas including, the western region of my mental health and the northern portions of my ability to deal rationally with my disconcerted precarious emotional situation, it's cold out there colder than a ticket taker's smile at the Ivar Theatre, on a Saturday night" (especially the last line!) For MORE, check out any of 'em at http://tomwaits.lyrics.info/ willy

(from Fannin Street) When I was young I thought only of getting out I said goodbye to my street, goodbye to my house Give a man gin, give a man cards, give an inch he takes a yard, And I rue the day that I stepped off this train. (John Hammond does a great cover of this tune IMO.) Neil |

"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 Shawn Colvin does it the best on her "Cover Girl" album. Jan |

My first pick would be Little TripTo heaven. This is the song we picked to play for our first dance at our wedding.
Little trip to heaven on the wings of your love Banana moon is shining in the sky, Feel like I'm in heaven when you're with me Know that I'm in heaven when you smile, Though we're stuck here on the ground, I got something that I've found And it's you. And I don't have to take no trip to outer space All I have to do is look at your face, And before I know it, I'm in orbit around you Thanking my lucky stars that I've found you, When I see your constellation, honey, you're my inspiration, and it's you. You're my north star when I'm lost and feeling blue, The sun is breaking through the clouds don't you, don't you know it's true? Honey, all the other stars seem dim around you Thanking my lucky stars that I've found you, When I see your smiling face, honey, I know nothing ever going to take your place, and it's you. And it's you, and it's you, and it's you, and it's you, and it's you And it's you, and it's you, shoo-be-doo, ba-da-da. This one gets used frequently as we play, a sizeable selection of Hank Williams songs. "...to cover the entire Hank Williams Song Book, whether you like it or not" I haven't listened to much Waits recently except for Closing Time, but it still amazes me how much of Nighthawks at the Diner is still in my head. We used to listen to that a lot, but usually in a state not conducive to learning... Jeff

Theres a ribbon in the willow
And a tire swing rope A briar patch of berries Takin over the slope The cat'll sleep in the mailbox And we'll never go to town Til we bury every dream in The cold cold ground... Always one of my favorite TW songs! Paul

"Well, the ice man's mule is parked outside the bar,
Where a man with missing fingers plays a strange guitar; And the German dwarf dances with the butcher's son, And tonight a little rain never hurt no one." Or this one: "Well today's grey skies, tomorrow is tears; You'll have to wait 'til yesterday is here." This one both creeps me out and makes me laugh (like many of his): "Roadkill has its seasons, Just like anything. It's possums in the autumn, And farm cats in the spring." I love 'em all, really. Hard to choose. --woodfin |

I am not even sure if I posted this topic... all of Tom Wait's songs kill!
I've always been told to remember this Don't let a kiss fool you Never marry for love Everything has its price Everything has its place What's more romantic than dying in the moonlight? Dead and Lovely.... (wish I could figure this out on my guitar, just not experienced enough)
