Well the smart money's on Harlow and the moon is in the street And the shadow boys are breaking all the laws And you're east of East Saint Louis and the wind is making speeches And the rain sounds like a round of applause And Napoleon is weeping in a carnival saloon His invisible fiancee's in the mirror And the band is going home, it's raining hammers, it's raining nails And it's true there's nothing left for him down here And it's time time time, and it's time time time And it's time time time that you love And it's time time time And they all pretend they're orphans and their memory's like a train You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away And the things you can't remember tell the things you can't forget That history puts a saint in every dream Well she said she'd stick around until the bandages came off But these mama's boys just don't know when to quit And Mathilda asks the sailors Are those dreams or are those prayers? So close your eyes, son, and this won't hurt a bit Oh it's time time time, and it's time time time And it's time time time that you love And it's time time time Well things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street And when they're on a roll she pulls a razor from her boot And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet So put a candle in the window and a kiss upon his lips As the dish outside the window fills with rain Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart And pay the fiddler off 'til I come back again Oh it's time time time, and it's time time time And it's time time time that you love And it's time time time And it's time time time, and it's time time time And it's time time time that you love And it's time time time
Tom Waits就像一块抹布,长年累月浸泡在低级的餐馆、肮脏的汽车旅馆和烟雾缭绕的酒吧,他揩抹着生活在社会底层的人们的痛苦,然后戏谑着赤裸裸展开,我们看到了一个酒鬼、流浪汉、皮条客,衣衫邋遢头发糟乱的Tom Waits 。 Tom Waits的歌是一幅幅真实露骨的影像,他让我们看到“鸡蛋围绕着飞行的锅子追赶着熏肉,狗被教堂塔顶的钟绳弄得悲鸣”的洛城,噪音污染和尘土飞扬的地球;他又像个黑色骑士在月亮失色的荒山野岭和火车轰鸣的城乡游走,继续轰炸我们麻木的神经
