| Loudon Wainwright III – White Winos Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| He is great at catching that bittersweet memory kind of feeling...it's kind of the same way in "Motel Blues", what a great writer...great songs. | |
| Tom Petty – Swingin' Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| The first time I heard this song, it was really emotional to me because I thought it could be taken as the girl actually trying to hitchhike away, and then she is murdered by the guy that picks her up. However, that is just the movie that played in my head upon first hearing the lyrics...if you look at them written out it seems more logical that the girl worked in Vegas or something and always wanted out of her situation, and then finally does something about it. However, the last verse saying how she went down swingin' made me think that maybe she did die, just not without a fight. If you put that into context, then the line "And she said I'm never goin' back, she said at last I'm free, I wish ma could see me now, she'd be so proud of me" could kinda bring tears to your eyes. Great song with simple chords. A Tom Petty classic. CRAFT AND CONSISTENCY! | |
| Tom Waits – Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song is adapted from a CHARLES BUKOWSKI poem, pretty much word for word. Tom didn't write it. It is one of the greatest songs ever. If you've never heard of Bukowski "Charlie I'm pregnant", I suggest you start with ROOMINGHOUSE MADRIGALS. The journey begins there, and then you will understand the "works down at the track" part as well as the general "suprise ending" part that so many Tom Waits songs and Bukowski poems have in common. Read Bukowski and Listen to Tom Waits. It will change your life. All else is... |
