We have had so many discussions over the years about how so few songs have meaningful lyrics. The guy who sings this song has written and performed a lot of really great ones over the years. This is a special song. Enjoy.

You just like the bit about the legion of forty ex-cons.

Sounds like someone has been listening to far too many Tom Waits records.

I have never been able to make it through more than one or two Tom Waits songs in a sitting. I don't own any of his stuff.
Then maybe you ought to try, as it sounds like you might have more time for him than you think. I also notice that one of the two comments on the video was made by 'maliciousRainDog', a Tom Waits handle if ever there was one.
I actually didn't mean to aim the remark at you anyway; I meant that the songwriter was obviously listening to rather a lot of TW to write the song. It actually reeks of him. (The Reek of Tom Waits is an album title I have reserved for future use)

All I do is listen to music or audio books. I'm usually in the shop at least 2-4 hours a night. Tonight was a long one as I am finishing up a Mellotron. (my camera sucks!). I have the time to listen to lots of music.
