Tom waits private world

When Tom Waits does a cover version they are always great but this is probably my favourite, at least for tonight.

These remastered 180 gram sound better than the one's I borrowed from the library 40 years ago and somehow never returned.

Just put a church key in your pocket
We'll hop that freight train in the hall
We'll slide all the way down the drain
To New Orleans in the fall

Kentucky Avenue 🤎

Downtown train be Tom waits is beautiful

Life advice from Tom Waits: "“Run away and join the circus. Get a tattoo, hop a train. Plant a garden and save the seeds. Get married, have kids, wear a hat. Get good with a bullwhip. Don’t lie, don’t cheat, don’t steal. Everyone must put beans on the table. Be devoted to the unification of the diverse aspects of yourself. Remember, most of what is essential is invisible to the eye. The quality of time you spend with someone far out-weighs the quantity. And there’s a lot you can do with a wah-wah pedal and a bullet mike.”
