| Tom Waits – Dead and Lovely Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
I can't believe no one commented yet on this song. It's just so haunting and beautiful, it lingers in your head after you listen to it.
Not sure on it's precise meaning but the overall feeling is that it is describing a girl who is in over her head with someone who isn't good for her. |

I think it's about being glad to be home after being on tour. There is a lot more substance but that's the general idea of the song. |

| The Good Life – Album of the Year Lyrics

|
"She was convinced I was under the influence
Of all those drunken romantics
I was reading Fante at the the time
I had Bukowski on my mind"
After being completely addicted to both of these writers, it's impossible not to feel the same drunken romantic longing that's described in the song. Absolutely amazing lyrics. |
