Bob Seger New Coat Of Paint

From the Album: Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band (1991)

Lyrics:

Let's put a New Coat of Paint
On this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, set 'em up we'll be knockin' 'em down
You wear a dress babe, I'll wear a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
In that burgundy sky

All our scribbled love dreams
Lost or thrown away
Never miss the shuffle on an overflowin' day
When love needs a transfusion
Shoot it full of wine
Fishin' for a good time
Starts with throwin' in your line

Let's put a New Coat of Paint
On this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, set 'em up we'll be knockin' 'em down
You wear a dress babe, I'll wear a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
In that burgundy sky

Tom Waits' version is WAY better. This sounds really uncreative and uninspired...

[TheNewCommander]

@Fimbultyr No

[TheBeanmartian]

It's like sleeping with your girlfriends younger sister.

I personally prefer Waits version. That being said. i see what Seger is doing here. and i LIKES IT!

[Razz1024]

quite cool it's got it's own charm but I think tom waits got the tone right for this song.

So would this be considered a Chicago blues song or jazz?

[axltyler]

Bob Seger is a WAY better singer!

@Fimbultyr Bob Seger transposed this song into the key of F. Personally, I think it's an improvement.

Bob does this song sooo much justice. I love Tom's original, but man,Bob kills it as well.
