Tom Waits – Mr. Siegal Lyrics 6 years ago
How do the angels get to sleep when the devil leaves his porch light on?
Could be a reference to ‘good’ versus not-so-clean-living people (i.e., different people), but it could also be referencing to inner responsible versus carefree parts of any one person. In Please Call Me Baby he sings “if I exorcise my devils well my angels may leave too, when they leave they’re so hard to find”.

Nick Drake – Rider On The Wheel Lyrics 6 years ago
I wonder if this song falls in with 'hanging on a star' in being about his reported disillusionment with not breaking through and being more widely accepted/successful, shame he became widely acclaimed only after death.
Anyway I wonder if the 'rider on the wheel' is a DJ or anyone playing his record(s)? It would kind of fit. Maybe.
Just a thought.
