- Well, it's raining it's pouring(2)
you didn't bring a sweater
Nebraska will never let you come back home
Now on Hollywood and Vine(3)
by the Thrifty Mart sign
any night I'll be willin' to bet
There's a young girl
with sweet little dreams and pretty blue wishes
standin' there just gettin' all wet
Now there's a place off the drag(4)
called the Gilbert Hotel(5)
and there's a couple letters
burned out in the sign
And it's better than a bus stop
they do good business every time it rains
for little girls with nothing in their jeans
but pretty blue wishes and sweet little jeans
And it's raining it's pouring
the old man is snoring
Now I lay me down to sleep(6)
I hear the sirens in the street
All my dreams are made of chrome
I have no way to get back home
I'd rather die before I wake
like Marilyn Monroe(7)
and you could throw my dreams out in the street
and let the rain make 'em grow
Now the night clerk he got a club foot
he's heard every hard luck story
at least a hundred times or more
He says: check out time is 10 am
and that's just what it means
Go on up the stairs
with sweet little wishes and pretty blue dreams
And it's raining it's pouring
and Hollywood's just fine
Swindle a little girl out of her dreams
another letter in the sign
Now never trust a scarecrow wearin' shades(8) after dark
be careful of that old bow tie he wears
It takes a sweet little bullet from a pretty blue gun(9)
to put those scarlet ribbons in your hair(10)
No that ain't no cherry bomb
4th of July's all done
Just some fool playin' that second line
from the barrel of a pretty blue gun
No that ain't no cherry bomb
4th of July's all done
Just some fool playin' that second line
from the barrel of a pretty blue gun - เพลง

Where THE FUCK has THIS been ALL MY LIFE??
Almost 50 years old & I'm listening in awe.
Holy fuck!!
Me 51.still on time...
Tom is mesmerizing. All I can say. He comes to you when you need him.
Love it!
Probably found Chocolate Jesus by now.. so good
It's been
I once went up to Tom and asked him why his voice sounded so gruff..he told me: "IF YOU SMOKED 10 PACKS OF VICEROY'S A DAY...YOUR VOICE WOULD SOUND THIS WAY TOO."..It is something I have never forgot from over 50nyears now.
Happy 70th birthday to THE coolest man who has ever lived.
He was overrated.
Bob Dylan is not 70
Bl
Word
@@MrPernell27 there is a channel for that.
He's a creative genius, for sure. Like a white Howlin Wolf with old blues man style. love it!
I love this guy! Before "smoking" became politically incorrect,....He embodies all the vices I loved. Drinking hard liquor, chain smoking cigarettes, including the ones without filters, & staying up, way too late. Hanging out in the seedier parts of town. Against all doctor's orders, I still smoke. I'm only 4 years younger than Tom. I hate to give it up,...I perfected blowing smoke rings,....even the double ones. (A large ring that hangs in the still air, and a smaller one that pierces it.) I did give up on the hard booze,...though I miss it. At age 65,...I'm no longer hanging out in the seedier parts of town, but I still stay up, way too late.
Sure they are solitons , smoke rings.
Omg, soo fuckin cool.
I've always loved the so called 'seedier parts of town' still do! Yet dont go there either. Even @ 68yrs young I maybe.
It's the chronic pain, from injuries. That I did not know I only had 3yrs to claim for. Now im busted, broke & enjoy dancing raunchy to this wonderful exciting real music & sung song.
Way to go. Tom.
Way to go, all of us.
If I wasn't single i would dance for some young mature man of same/older age.
Oh, reminiscing of
all them great raunchy Tom Waites songs like this ' Little Blue Gun' just Wat I always wanted.
Aussie cannot get them here. Bummer.
Smoke em of you got em stranger. Some us souls have walked this earth for thousands of years and we aren't leaving anytime soon.
Great comment. Might just be my favorite. Not sure because I hate the word lol. Stay out the "seedier" parts of town (not a word you hear anymore lol). For now atleast. But you'll be back. I'm sure of it. One of my favorite Waits quotes. " I rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy" cheers 🥃💨
Are you single? Where are all the good men?
@@juliehobbs7938 Not married, but in a long term relationship, I guess the term is a life partner, with a special lady.
Tom Waits is a American Treasure ....... along with Frank Zappa and Capt. Beefheart he is a totally unique artist.
No way... I just wrote almost exactly the same on another TH-cam channel playing Tom Waits. You, good heart, are a heart after my own.
Put George Carlin and Hunter S Thompson with Tom Waits and you have the holy trinity of the arts and America for their time.
Totally agree. Same with Hank III. Unique.
Man sollte ihm nicht unrecht tun: er ist ebenso einzigartig wie unvergleichlich.
3 Herb Cohen clients … well, not Van Vliet but close enough.
and captain beefhearrrt
I know he's famous for that awesome, gravelly voice. But i love it even more when he 'kicks it back a cog" and it becomes a bark.
He is and has always just been a classic man in every way. Never a fashion slave, always had his own film noir, down on his luck, but charismatic detective look.
I love the interviews in the 70's-80s where the talk show host has helmet hair, everything is beige, brown, washed out pastels , bell bottoms and big ties and bigher collars. I almost see Tom in soothing, high contrast, Black and white. He's a sight for sore eyes. And his voice and with a sound for sore ears 😎
Genius. (I'm talking about you, man.)
When inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame he said "this is very encouraging" Only from Tom...
Is that really what he said? Telling you: the man is a genius.
@@beverlyaiglai7052 yup
Tom’s performances are as unique and original as his writing. Few can do both so well.
Pure genius!!
There is no other. Tom waits is a Super talent. Thank you Mr. Waits.
This is nasty in the best way possible, so fucking good.
Super great, and two melodic and rhythmically interesting solos too. Listen and learn you jazzers who solo like you're being paid by the note....
Well said
THE coolest man EVER😎 But he's so humble and doesn't ever try to be cool. He is himself. Tom Waits. Coolest man ever 😎
Er weiß , über die Dinge, über die er singt, das macht ihn zu so einem authentisch und qualitativ unvergleichbarem Künstler, von dem ich gar nicht dran denken kann, es gäbe ihn nicht... Er ist meine Lebensphilosofie, kann mir in jeder Situation helfen..... Weill er die meisten Dinge, aus seinerm Leben, als Material genommen hat, und diese harte selbstreflekriion, der Zynismus und Sarkasmus, das sehen, der perfekten imperfektion, die wir doch, sind wir ehrlich, alle sind
Damn how'd I miss this dude...that's that groove right there!
Same! I'd heard the name but never the music until today. We've seriously been missing out.
Behold an artist supreme
each song is like a noir tale
huge fan of his music
The musical and song writer equivalent of Jack Kerouac. Poets all.
As far as poetry and Nobel prizes go, this hits above anything Bob Dylan ever put out. Not to detract from Dylan.
But you're right.
the one and the only love his rummage sale, back alley, coffee shop lyrics an original, a real artist
If Kerouac was a musician.👍
There's no better
They sure don't make 'em like they used to.
🖐JUST PERFECT!
JUST ABSOLUTELY EXTREMELY PERFECT!!!👍
This is the best version of the song there is !
For sho
You said it Brother !
This is actually from his December 5, 1978 Austin City Limits set.
Benjamin Evans Thank you, I was just thinking where this could be.
Saw him for the first time in 1979, remember it well.
Noone touches Tom ...a perfect example
I’d love to shake his hand like one fan did for over 5mins & Tom just said “Are you done yet? If not then keep shaking!” Love him or not he’s the epitome of MUSIC 🎶
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM ! YOU ARE A GEM.
One of those artists whose songs sound so much better on stage. Studio recordings never do justice
May I just say that Tom is a terrific performer, but he always surrounds himself with very talented musicians that make his live shows so incredibly amazing!!
Terrific performer?
Do you doubt it?
Tom has the voice and the heart of a wolverine. 😎
So good w/words, man.
@@beverlyaiglai7052 Thank you so much. No one has commented on how I write in TH-cam comments before.
Everyone tells me I am a natural writer and it is my gift. I discovered it quite late in life. My father is a professional writer and he gives me amazing compliments about how I write the thoughts I share on... Everything. My mum and all of my friends, girlfriends etc see it too. And I am a compulsive writer, as illustrated here. I'm so sorry. This became longer than I intended. I just want to thank you sincerely for your comment. It means a lot to me. It's something I love that comes natural to me. Now ... How to find my niche... Earn money doing what I love. Travel, culture/cultures and life. Life everywhere. Life, death, justice and inspiration, injustice and degradation.
So much to document and so many ways and places to do it, as the late great, Hunter S Thompson, William Burroughs and the still very much alive, but looking disturbingly old Noam Chomsky (The world needs him and he can't be replaced) who is like the grandfather of the world's conscience & knowledge, wisdom, universal truth and universal compassion. I fear losing Chomsky, like I fear losing a grandparent. Naomi Klein, the younger, Canadian, female, version of Chomsky (without negating her own style and her own work - 'Shock Doctrine', one book that encompasses all of the subjects Chomsky has ever covered, delivering new revelations on the truth that so many researchers have written on - if I were asked to recommend only one book on international foreign policy, US hegemony, human rights violations, hypocrisy, disinformation, corruption and the rotten scourge of 'lobbyists' and PR companies, the deliberate ignorance of, and active participation in the deliberate and repeatedly stated, decades long genocide of the Palestinians (worse, in greater numbers and for far longer than Hitler's crimes against thes Jews and on a larger scale, either ignored or even encouraged while the UN repeatedly cites human rights violations against Israel and a stop to the invasion and Annexation of Palestine, the destruction of Palestine - The Ukraine is rightly provided with encouragement, arms and equipment by the western world, but Palestine has been left to languish because Israel is strategically more important than Palestine, which was deemed terra nullius, like the old colonial masters in Australia and the Americas, Africa, Hawaii etc, overlooked for so long) big business on a multinational, global scale and their ownership of all our politicians, including IMF & The World Bank, human and international rights violations and the trampling of UN Mandates and resolutions, AND the deliberate, illegal destruction of our ecosystems for resources and pollution of our planet for short term gain. Gentrification on a grand scale, using the tragic aftermath of the destruction of war, natural disasters, a failing global ecosystem, Pollution by manufacturers and companies that exploit natural resources, including human resources, the most disposable of them all as justification and smoke screen for this mass gentrification of people from the beachside barios to small fishing villages and villagers on the coasts of Thailand and the shock and devastation of the war, started on transparently false pretenses for Cheney's Halliburton and other corrupt politicians selling rights to civic works and infrastructure - After the US razed, convenient for stakeholders/inconveniently for iraqi people and US soldiers Iraq to the ground - that were not only never completed, but often never started. Klein manages to cover it all in her Amazing book, Shock Doctrine: Disaster Capitalism.
These are my heroes. We need (and we have) the voice and dedication of Chomsky in Naomi Klein, Matter Cooke (writer, documentary producer, historian and human rights spokesperson), Beau (producer of Beau's fifth column and rights activist and author), and Democracy Now (like human rights watch with an active video documentary), all of whom are the calm, passionate voices of fact and reason amongst the din of political rhetoric, biased reporting on both the internet/TH-cam and commercial media. The quiet, rational voices of sanity, reason, compassion and the rule of law and challenging some laws are gaining momentum and traction in an uphill battle of humanity vs short term profit for big business and votes in systems where the voters never win because they have no choice. US, the flagship of democracy and freedom? Patriotic Americans, ex-service people and other researchers of the truth behind the curtain are voicing the destructive and self destructive neocolonialism of an Empire. That disregards the people it claims to serve. Armed with documented facts, backed by sources and not ideology, some resourceful, passionate, compassionate and dedicated people are looking holes in the paper thin rhetoric and disinformation. Like Chomsky says, ',These aren't ', conspiracy theories', these are conspiracy facts. The information is there for anyone who cares to look. Declassified documents are available to the public. The information is there, you just just have to be willing to find it. It's all There".
The greatest part about this is the people laughing about the hardship of someone trying to navigate through life and not succeeding. It makes it feel more real.
I love this guy
I love this. Thank you for uploading, Too Short.
His voice is my love language
cant get it out of my head
I swear, there is no lyricist better than Tom.
this guys is my hero.
Creative, hard core blues!
I have no words. Tom has them all.
He's so good I'm jealous.
Legend
Coolest guy on the planet. Best poet etc.
I really like Tom, how he gets into his music 6:40-end, he's with every note.
HEALTH TO HAND THAT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL
Psychedelic wild blues !!!
Is it possible to beat this..not sure all my senses could handle anymore cool
Man that is a killer version of that song !
Quelle merveille ce morceau !! 😍
a great artist love it
I think he later refined this same sentiment down to 'Heart Attack and Vine' on his last Asylum album of the same name...it's always a pleasure...
Heart attack and vine is a cover
@@philipkrull6371 I think you may be confused. Screaming Jay Hawkins covered this song but it was definitely written by Tom Waits. Waits even sued Levi jeans when they used Hawkins' cover of the song in an advertisement. Waits released 'Heart Attack and Vine' in 1980. Hawkins released his cover in 1993. And there are no releases of the song before 1980.
@@jaymckorda3474 Shoulda stopped after "I think you may be confused."
This is December the 6th 1978 from Austin City Limits.
Tom waits is very creative and good looking
Who does he think he is but the one and only Tom Waits
Damn, your good...
Tom Waits!
This is awesome. i like his voice waaaaay better here. That gravelly stuff is just ok
The two people who disliked this are societal rejects
Wrong. Its societal rejects that like this.
Män, it`s ok to dislike, i am fan and i think all songs must not be a equal. Ok they sure aint.
Maybe they just lost a bet and we're forced to embarrass themselves.
Hey
Weird, cause that's what he represents through his music. Just like Lautrec though his paintings.
His lyrics are amazing. He paints a picture in my mind. I've known and met some of the characters, who he describes. In the 60s, it was still a very black & white world. I was younger, and I found myself sometimes visiting the seedier parts of town, I was poor, and had to rent in those areas. I tried to keep my head down, & avoid confrontations. I kept an eye on the underbelly of night dwellers.
No sé como hicieron para gravar todo esto en 1979 con esta calidad de sonido y ni que hablar de la onda.
Great shit love it!
Ему не нужна гитара,заслужил уважение и обелиск!!!
I mean, this is the coolest thing that's happened in history. So there's that.
Way too cool for school
Coolest song and performance ever….I love the dynamic and how he will sing one or two lines in his breathe-y voice then answer the next in the gravel voice…..awesome
What do you say? True Icon!
You said it Barry !!!
Thanks for putting this out there. I recorded this entire show on my DVR over a year ago, but it's gone now.
Amo! El mejor y más incorrecto alcohólico junto con Hank Bukowski. Salud!
Thanks Paul for pointing me in Tom Waits direction. Indianapolis Post Office

"This is a story about Hollywood Boulevard. And eh... Now you know there's all these young girls from the mid-west. Still pick up a Modern Screen magazine, get on a Greyhound bus, come on up looking for Clark Gable. And eh... they end up down on eh Wilcox Avenue. And ehm... there's a pimp feeding icecream to a dog. You know? It's eh... "Oh How The Mighty Have Fallen". This is about any night, when it's raining and it's pouring... "
👋👏
where is button for more likes
If i didn't see what it is......it was still cool

Proof that God exists.

(y) !!!!
My favorite ,,,, i wanna blow my head off but its cool
Keep it simple.
Greasy
Does play a single chord or is it all mute slaps? Great song just wondering
Maybe the guitar is just turned way down
Tom'sprettygoodthereallycometooz*haha haha the really cool*
If you watch closely at the very beginning you can see what he’s doing. A muted slap with the back of his fingernails on the downstroke, followed by a very quiet pluck of a couple of notes from the chord.
Tom is very tasteful and when he has top tier musicians on stage with him he tends to let their playing do most of the heavy lifting.
Atta boy fuk around....
He’s so fucking hot

Ccoolll comes to oz

НИЖАЙШИЙ ПОКЛОН
КРУТНЯК И ОТПАД

the dude on sax does not look Unlike Miles.lol.
Herbert Hardesty
Best music for cocain.
TERRIB'
cocaine speaks volumes
steve sims Don’t be an ass ! This is simply a genius at work.
Tom's great but genius? He's too derivative to be genius. He does have his moments though.
Cheap shot, Waits is much better than that. I think he had a pretty chaotic lifestyle in the 70's and lived mainly in hotels, as a result he probably tried most things around at the time but he quit all that in the early 80's and, I think most Waits fans would agree, that's when he started producing his best work.
@@blahblah606 blah blah...
I think Dali crafted the best response to such silly accusations...he doesn't need to do drugs, he is a drug...
I honestly feel a bit sad for anyone who actually watched a true genius transcend the trappings of reality, transport them to more than a half dozen times & places that exist only within the confines of his mind, without having their soul moved by the experience... .
Is it possible that they do not have a soul because it was devoured by their egos??
....smh..
I am truly grateful that I am not stuck in whatever hellish world promotes such ignorance & I hope for their sakes that someday they can figure out how to escape it...be well
... Not the most uplifting ditty
Przepiekny talent ten piosenkarz powinien zdobyc nagrode Ginessa za tak cudna muzyke tekst interpretacje wogole za wszystko za wyglad tez
