Tom Waits - Blue Valentines

http://www.clickbankproductsblog.com/blogs/amazoninstantvideo/blue-valentine/ Thomas Alan "Tom" Waits (born December 7, 1949) is an American singer-songwriter, composer and actor. Waits has a distinctive voice, described by critic Daniel Durchholz as sounding "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car." With this trademark growl, his incorporation of pre-rock music styles such as blues, jazz, and vaudeville, and experimental tendencies verging on industrial music, Waits has built up a distinctive musical persona. He has worked as a composer for movies and musical plays and as a supporting actor in films, including Down By Law and Bram Stoker's Dracula. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his soundtrack work on One from the Heart.Lyrically, Waits' songs frequently present atmospheric portrayals of grotesque, often seedy characters and places -- although he has also shown a penchant for more conventional ballads. He has a cult following and has influenced subsequent songwriters despite having little radio or music video support. His songs are best-known to the general public in the form of cover versions by more visible artists: "Jersey Girl", performed by Bruce Springsteen and "Downtown Train", performed by Rod Stewart. Although Waits' albums have met with mixed commercial success in his native United States, they have occasionally achieved gold album sales status in other countries. He has been nominated for a number of major music awards and has won Grammy Awards for two albums, Bone Machine and Mule Variations.________________________________________She sends me blue valentinesAll the way from PhiladelphiaTo mark the anniversaryOf someone that I used to beAnd it feels just like theresA warrant out for my arrestGot me checkin in my rearview mirrorAnd I'm always on the runThats why I changed my nameAnd I didn't think you'd ever find me hereTo send me blue valentinesLike half forgotten dreamsLike a pebble in my shoeAs I walk these streetsAnd the ghost of your memoryIs the thistle in the kissAnd the burgler that can break a roses neckIt's the tatooed broken promiseThat I hide beneath my sleeveAnd I see you every time I turn my backShe sends me blue valentinesThough I try to remain at largeThey're insisting that our loveMust have a eulogyWhy do I save all of this madnessIn the nightstand drawerThere to haunt upon my shouldersBaby I knowI'd be luckier to walk around everywhere I goWith a blind and broken heartThat sleeps beneath my lapelShe sends me my blue valentinesTo remind me of my cardinal sinI can never wash the guiltOr get these bloodstains off my handsAnd it takes a lot of whiskeyTo take this nightmares go awayAnd I cut my bleedin heart out every niteAnd I die a little more on each St. Valentines dayRemember that I promised I wouldWrite you...These blue valentinesblue valentinesblue valentines
