| Oh, and stephoney13, Four Sheets to the Wind is slang for being very, very drunk. Nothing to do with boats. | |

Sorry to come with a dose of realism in this debate (especially to paulshon who is probably no longer alive :) "Matilda is Suicide you numbskulls" LMFAO) but Matilda is in fact the Danish singer Mathilde Bondo and the song (as its subtitle suggests) is about a boozy night in Copenhagen in 1976. Tom was so besotted with Mathilde that he asked her to come back to the US with him - she thought it was just the booze talking, but apparently he was serious in the cold light of day. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_Change, http://gritinthegears.blogspot.dk/2007/08/tom-waits-from-small-change-1976.html |
