The Piano Has Been Drinking  

I love Tom Waits, his lyrics are sometimes rather zany.
Have you heard Frank's Wild Years?
Its only a short song, but so funny!!
Here are the lyrics
Well Frank settled down in the Valley
and hung his wild years
on a nail that he drove through
his wife's forehead
he sold used Office Furniture
out there on San Fernando Road
and assumed a $30,000 loan
at 15 1/4% and put down payment
on a little two bedroom place
his wife was a spent piece of used jet trash
made good bloody marys
kept her mouth shut most of the time
had a little Chihuahua named Carlos
that had some kind of skin disease
and was totally blind. They had a
thoroughly modern kitchen
self-cleaning oven (the whole bit)
Frank drove a little sedan
they were so happy
One night Frank was on his way home
from work, stopped at the liqu*r store,
picked up a couple Mickey's Big Mouths
drank 'em in the car on his way
to the Shell station, he got a gallon of
gas in a can, drove home, doused
everything in the house, torched it,
parked across the street, laughing,
watching it burn, all Halloween
orange and chimney red then
Frank put on a top forty station
got on the Hollywood Freeway
headed north
Never could stand that dog

That is very cute and I like it. A little on the silly side, but we can't be serious all the time we would be very boring if that were the case. I was badgered into getting an answering machine and as my act of rebelion I made a silly message....Hello this is the refrigerator the answering machine is on vacation, if you want to leave a message fell free and I will stick to myself with the magnet.

Life is for having fun....lol.

Well thats differentLOL
Yep I agree it would be interesting to see.
Isn't it amazing what we can find to write and sing about??? LOL
