Tom Waits-Time, from the 1985 album 'Rain Dogs'. Backing video taken from a live performance on the 1988 film 'Big Time'.
Lyrics:
Well the smart money's on Harlow and the moon is in the street
And the shadow boys are breaking all the laws
And you're east of East Saint Louis and the wind is making speeches
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
And Napoleon is weeping in a carnival saloon
His invisible fiancee's in the mirror
And the band is going home, it's raining hammers, it's raining nails
And it's true there's nothing left for him down here
And it's time time time, and it's time time time
And it's time time time that you love
And it's time time time
And they all pretend they're orphans and their memory's like a train
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
And the things you can't remember tell the things you can't forget
That history puts a saint in every dream
Well she said she'd stick around until the bandages came off
But these mama's boys just don't know when to quit
And Mathilda asks the sailors "Are those dreams or are those prayers?"
So close your eyes, son, and this won't hurt a bit
Oh it's time time time, and it's time time time
And it's time time time that you love
And it's time time time
Well things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street
And when they're on a roll she pulls a razor from her boot
And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet
So put a candle in the window and a kiss upon his lips
As the dish outside the window fills with rain
Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
And pay the fiddler off 'til I come back again
Oh it's time time time, and it's time time time
And it's time time time that you love
And it's time time time
And it's time time time, and it's time time time
And it's time time time that you love
And it's time time time

sound is a little odd at first but it improves after first minute ... I promise !
sweetest version I've seen on YT ..
5th Street & Main, Los Angeles "On the Nickel", a wino's lullaby
Lyric:
It says sticks and stones can break my bones
but I always will be true
And when your mama's dead and gone,
I'll sing this lullaby just for you ...
What becomes of little boys
who never say their prayers?
They're sleeping like a baby
on the nickel over there ...
And if you chew tobacco
and wish upon a star
You'll find out where the scarecrows sit,
man they look like punch lines between the cars.
I know a place where a royal flush
can never beat a pair.
And even Thomas Jefferson
is on the nickel and is over there ...
So ring around the rosy,
sleepin' in the rain.
You're always late for supper
and man you let me down again ...
I thought I heard a mockingbird,
Roosevelt knows where.
I'm whistling past the graveyard,
and they're on the nickel over there ...
So what becomes of little boys
who run away from home?
The world keeps gettin' bigger
once you get out on your own.
So climb up through that buttonhole
and fall right up the stairs
And show you where the short dogs go,
they're on the nickel
and they're over there ...
Chorus of Waltzin' Matilda at end
