Lyrics:
My head
Is spinning round
My heart
Is in my shoes, yeah
I went and set
The Thames on fire
Oh, now
I must come back down
She's laughing
In her sleeve boys
I can feel it in my bones
Oh, but anywhere
I'm gonna lay my head
I'm gonna call my home
Well
I see that the world
Is upside-down
Seems that my pockets
Were filled up with gold
And now the clouds
Well they've covered over
And the wind is blowing cold
Well I don't need anybody
Because I learned
I learned to be alone
Well I said anywhere
Anywhere
Anywhere I lay my head
Boys
Well
I gonna call my home

She's not good at singing, she better act her whole life, and people will love her forever so.

@DrSpikeSpiegel i understand where you're coming from, but i think like many others you are disregarding the pure beauty and sense of awe this album exudes. i don't think it was scarlett johansson's intention to sound like tom waits, but rather to render his music in a dreamy and atmospheric soundscape, and create another world entirely

She sings o_o!?

The fist time I heard it on the radio I loved it.

I think she has a pretty good voice, and she's beautiful as hell, but this version is far inferior to Tom Waits. Her voice just is lacking all the emotion and desperation that was in the original.
Scarlett sounds like she lays her head in fancy hotels all over the world.
Tom sounds like he has laid his head in some filthy back alleyway.
