| Tom Waits – You Can Never Hold Back Spring Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| There is a quote from the writer Pablo Neruda that says something like "you can cut all the flowers but you still can't hold back spring". That is more than likely where Tom got the idea for this song, especially since Neruda was a big influence on Bukowski. If you do not know or understand the connection between Waits and Bukowski you should get some books and then listen to A Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis. | |
