Tom Waits!

El millor regal de Sant Jordi... Tom Waits Canciones!

"Tom Waits, perro de la lluvia

[...]

Voz de club nocturno en el suburbio de la ciudad, de colillas mal apagadas, de callejón húmedo y encharcado, de alcohol, de piano que ha estado bebiendo, de película de serie negra, de desarraigado, de "rain dog", surgida de lo más profundo del lado oscuro del Gran Sueño Americano"

Quina gran descripció al pròleg! No es podia dir millor, i bé, el llibre és un seguit de lletres bones, de mil cançons d'en Waits.

It's warm beer and cold women
No I just don't fit in
Every join I stumbled into tonight
That's just how it's been...

Well I got a bad liver and a broken heart
Yea I drunk me a river since you tore me apart
And I don't have a drinking problem
Cept when I can't get a drink...


And what becomes of all the little boys
Who never comb their hair
Well they're lined up all around the block
On the nickel over there...


Still these blue valentines
To remind me of my cardinal sin
I can never wash the guilt
Or get these bloodstains off my hands
And it takes a lot of whiskey
To make these nightmares go away
And I cut my bleedin heart out every night
And I'm gonna die just a little more on each St Valentine's Day
Don't you remember that I promised I would
write you...
These blue valentines...
I com no... Swordfishtrombone i Downtown Train!

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
All of my dreams just fall like rain
Oh baby all upon a downtown train
