Tom Waits – Widow's Grove Lyrics 17 years ago
I totally agree with you morbid morag. I've always thought it was about a man's jealousy over his girl running off with another girl, I just wanted to check here and see if anyone shared my opinion :)

Tom Waits – 16 Shells from a Thirty-Ought-Six Lyrics 17 years ago
I don't think there's anything wrong with interpreting lyrics at face value. If the interpretation works it works, whether it's "deep" or not. For example, see the lyrics to Chocolate Jesus. They're very simple without much further meaning behind them than what's said in the song aside from some very clever metaphors.
