Heartattack And Vine


tom waits’ sixth alb-m, from 1980, had nine tracks and lasted for forty-five glorious minutes. as soon as it starts playing you get a smooth blast of drum, and a jagged slice of guitar. half of the alb-m’s songs are jumpy and dangerous, while the other half are slow and beautiful. some high points are jersey girl – a love song, and ’til the money runs out, a loud-mouth fighting song.
an excerpt from heartattack and vine’s-
mr. siegal

i shot the morning in the back
with m’ red wings on
i told the sun he’d better go back down
and if i can find a book of matches
i’m goin’ to burn this hotel down
you got to tell me brave captain
why are the wicked so strong
how do the angels get to sleep
when the devil leaves the porch-light on
