| Tom Waits – On the Nickel Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| My brother was a beautiful soul who was kicked out of Catholic school in 3rd grade back in 1960.. was afraid of the new public school teacher.. so wandered around instead of going to school .. sent to truancy court.. put in a home for bad kids... ended up dying of cirrhosis of the liver at 25 years old..after living on the streets in The Bowery in NYC for years...I think it’s a litany of what happens to human beings who are discarded by society when the don’t fit the mold...maybe a tribute to those all beautiful lost souls... | |
