A lot of the lyrics are making me laugh. And the sax and stand up bass make me imagine him in a swanky beatnik club pissing off the snob crowd sipping their drinks with his song/poem... |

Just Excellent.
Tom has it, no doubt. Others don't, but that's another story

I recognize that a lot of people really do like Tom Waits. Unfortunately, when i hear him I feel as if someone is punching me in the head over and over again. But, that's just me.

Love it! One of the first TW songs to catch my attention, back when FM radio actually played good music. Only Tom could pull off a song like this (and it never needs ironing)!

Vocally, he may be a train wreck, but lyrically he's a stone genius.

Heard this years ago on WXRT and immediately ran out to Laurie's records* to score the LP!
(f.y.e. is to records what Clear Channel is to radio - they just bought the TOWER store in Schaumburg - the one with the really big selection - and CLOSED it in favor of this former Sam Goody's location in Woodfield that has NOTHING any RP listener would want - okay, I exaggerate - they did have George Martin's LOVE...)!
