Tom Waits - "Dead and Lovely"

"Dead and Lovely" by Tom Waits from the album 'Real Gone'
Lyrics
She was a middle class girl
In over her head
She thought she could
Stand up in the deep end
He had a bullet proof smile
He had money to burn
She thought she had the moon
In her pocket...
But now she's dead
She's so dead forever
Dead and lovely now
I've always been told to
Remember this
Don't let a fool kiss you
Never marry for love
He was hard to impress
He knew everyone's secrets
He wore her on his arm
Just like jewelry
He never gave but he got
He kept her on a leash
He's not the kind of wheel
You fall asleep at
But now she's dead
She's so dead
Forever dead and
Lovely now
Come closer look deep
You've fallen fast
Just like a plane on a
Stormy sea
She made up someone to be
She made up somewhere to
Be from
This is one business in the
World where that's no
Problem at all
Every thing that is left
They will only plow under
Soon every one you know
Will be gone
But now she's dead
She's so dead
Forever dead and
Lovely now
I've always been told to
Remember this
Don't let a kiss fool you
Never marry for love
Now they're all watching
The sea
What's lost can never be broken
Her roots were sweet
But they were shallow
But now she's dead
She's so dead
Forever dead and
Lovely now

It’s like he’s making up the words as the song goes on and singing the song as it plays out before his eyes. When you listen and don’t know the lyrics it’s like what’s going to happen next! And even when you do know, you’re still hanging on in anticipation

You're correct about that. I recently watched an Interview where he made it clear that the lyrics are secondary, he makes them fit the music.

Battle of Mons planus
1912
In February of 1912, a new threat emerged from the south: the Antares Imperium. Since Cetus had allocated most of their manpower to the northern front to defend against Corvus, the country's southern border was left vulnerable. The arrival of the Antarean invasion compelled the Cetans to shift their resources southward, effectively halving their defensive capabilities on both fronts. As the Cetans found themselves confronted by two enemy nations with limited numbers, morale among the soldiers began to decline.

Love his gentle vocals on this track.

[@madeleinedoyle1790]

Tom Waits is like a fine wine or whiskey. His work gets better with age, i.e. his performance and song writing plus my new life experiences that help me to relate to the many layers and nuances of his master craft. I ADORE him.

Saying that you ONLY like the song because of a game seems a bit disrespectful, don't you think?

MUSIQUE DE JEU CENTAURA

[@dixienourmous10]

She was a middle class girl
She was in over her head
She thought she could
Stand up in the deep end
He had a bullet proof smile
He had money to burn
She thought she had the moon
In her pocket
But now she's dead
She's so dead
Forever dead and lovely now
I've always been told to
Remember this...
Don't let a fool kiss you
Never marry for love
He was hard to impress
He knew everyone's secrets
He wore her on his arm
Just like jewelry
He never gave but he got
He kept her on a leash
He's not the kind of wheel
You fall asleep at
But now she's dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
Come closer, look deeper
You've fallen fast
Just like a plane on a
Stormy sea
She made up someone to be
She made up somewhere to be from
This is one business in the
World where that's no
Problem at all
Everything that is left
They will only plow under
Soon every one you know
Will be gone
And now she's dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
But now she's dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
I've always been told to
Remember this...
Don't let a kiss fool you
Never marry for love
Everything has it's price
Everything has it's place
What's more romantic
Then dying in the moonlight?
Now they're all watching the sea
What's lost can never be broken
Her roots were sweet
But they were so shallow
And now she's dead
Forever dead
Forever dead and lovely now
And now she's dead
Forever dead
And she's so dead and lovely now
