Been listening to Waits for the better part of twenty years. Choosing between my top twenty favorite songs of his is like choosing between family members. This one is my fave. "...jumping out of windows in expensive clothes..." I'm a grown ass man and that makes me weak in the knees. A heart is like any other part of your body, I guess. No matter how much time you give it, some scars just won't ever heal completely if the wound was bad enough. That's a bitch, ya know?
I love Tom, but so many of his ballads are similar. A little piano, a little guitar, and some gurgling. But this one. This one. Grabs you deep down and never lets go. Tears you like "Train Song."
I listend to moore then 100 of Tom´s songs this cristmas and theres always a comment about that "this i my top ten". I understand that all of Tom´s songs are the top ten of everything! U the best ever!!!!
sitting here nursing a shattered heart prepping for divorce..... Can't think of anyone i'd rather share my whiskey and blues with than Tom.... Thank you bro for saying in brief musical imagery what i never could in a million years....
Tom Waits sings a different song to each of us. We don't have to agree about what he says. Just know he sees all the corners of the world and shares them in song.
This is one of my all time favourite songs. Every time I hear it, I hear something different. Such an amazing piece of music and such great lyrics! "Are you still jumping out of windows in expensive clothes?"
I've "known"Tom since 1972ish called in sick one morn and nursing the hangover in bed flipped to the Dinah Shore Show and there HE was .He did Tom T's Blues and Step Right Up!. Changed my LIfe Been a fan ever since.I'm 64 years young.Time waits for no one but TomWaits for Everyone~!
Who can have enough words to describe Tom Waits? A friend of mine introduced me to his music when I was in the Navy, and I've been a fan ever since. Pure genius, man. Love ya Tom.
this song will always remind me of my beautiful on the outside ugly on the inside ex wife x

I think Bone Machine is one of the top 10 albums ever created. It is rawness in it's purest form. I have never heard anything close to that.

My friend introduced me to Tom only a couple weeks ago, and now I can't stop listening to him. The man is a pure genius.

@Megalomaniac04 Hell yeah. That one line says so much about the person this song is directed towards.

Well I fell in love with your sailor's mouth
and your wounded eyes;
You better get down on the floor,
Don't you know this is war? :)
