  • I think I like Lucky Day more on his Black Rider cd. Either way, he's amazing :)

  • when i die im going to piss off a lot of relatives when i have this played at the funeral.

  • @richbizkit me 2!

  • @richbizkit YES

  • @richbizkit You should see if there's a recording out there of The Black Rider, the musical/opera/performance piece Waits made with Robert Wilson and William S Burroughs. He wrote this song for that (i'm pretty sure) and the character who sings it actually does sing it right after he's been shot. It's unbelievably beautiful. Seeing that show was the best single goddamn night of my life.

  • @notleonard I do have 'The Black Rider' on CD, but to have actually seen it?

    That's the first time in my entire life I actually wished I could have been rich enough.

    Perfect funeral song.

  • @richbizkit lol what a great choice :)

  • beautiful.

  • what tom waits does to that old vera lynn tune is absolutely holy

  • This song ain`t about no one it`s about going bummin around.....

  • Actually it's what Wilmer the hero of "The Black Rider" sings as he's about to be dragged off to hell, as he's paid with his soul for the magic bullets which "accidentally" kill his lover.

  • Whoever this song is about must be one good friend indeed.

  • So, so good.
