Tom Waits – Waltzing Mathilda Lyrics 15 years ago
"and it's a battered old suitcase
in a hotel someplace
and a wound that would never heal"

that last line in those 3 is the one that shows that its ment to be sad. the wond that he is talkign about is lonlyness or heartbroken because he was in love with the prostitute matilda

"and you can ask any sailor
and the keys from the jailor
and the old men in wheelchairs know
that matilda's the defendant
she killed about a hundred"

its not meaning that she is actualy killing people its saying that she has broken their hearts. its what makes this song prolly the sadst song ever written.

then again i may be wrong but im pretty sure thats what its leading to =) hope i helped.
