Tom Waits - The Piano Has Been Drinking (Live in Dublin, 1981)

Where's is the beautiful melody?

Make a German laugh with boredom.

Great version. Sounds more like the late 80's tho. I saw him not perform this song in Boston, Orpheum 1986 - some asshole howled out for it between every song.

This is on the compilation album " Bounced Cheques."

Seems to be the most honest and true version i have heard. Of course it sounds different, do you want it to sound the same all the time? Stagnation is not any true artists goal.

i love the lyrics in this version, but i miss the tune. i like to sing along with the songs i enjoy, and with this version is impossible. but the lyrics are hysterical.

Much better than the Small Change version. Suits the lyrics even better.
