| Tom Waits – Town with No Cheer Lyrics

I've always considered this song a fictional interpretation of the depression that follows when an addict gives up his drug of choice. That feeling of "So much for having fun in life. It's all boring from here on." Since the release date roughly coincides with Tom's own shift from bourbon-soaked crooner to sober carnie-howler, I feel this is one of his more autobiographical songs. |
