    Whilst you're here Turnstile...I used to have a tape of Tom Waits YEARS ago, when I was about 17. I don't know how I came to have it cos I was a big a dag then as I am now :D
    Anyhew, there was a song, a really slow ballad, piano (right, he played piano??) and it was grrrrrrrrrr racking my brains here for any words at all to come to me...um, something about money in a jar maybe ...a fairy or ballerina or something on his piano..um, sorry, it won't come. Alcohol was mentioned I think...was he a boozy, maudlin singer??
    ANY idea at all?? I have been wanting to find that song again for all these years...so long that I've forgotten why I liked it eh?


    Edited to add: Whiskey! Not money in a jar...that'd be Billy Joel, wouldn't it??LOL

    hey tully

    is the song is "Eggs And Sausage (In A Cadillac With Susan Michelson)"?

    whiskey could be "chillie".. sounds similar.. :)

    ------------------------------------

    nighthawks at the diner
    of Emma's 49er, there's a rendezvous
    of strangers around the coffee urn tonight
    all the gypsy hacks, the insomniacs
    now the paper's been read
    now the waitress said

    CHORUS
    eggs and sausage and a side of toast
    coffee and a roll, hash browns over easy
    chillie in a bowl with burgers and fries
    what kind of pie?

    In a graveyard charade, a late shift masquerade
    2 for a quarter, dime for a dance
    with Woolworth rhinestone diamond
    earrings, and a sideway's glance
    and now the register rings
    and now the waitress sings

    CHORUS

    the classified section offered no direction
    it's a cold caffeine in a nicotine cloud
    now the touch of your fingers
    lingers burning in my memory
    I've been 86ed from your scheme
    I'm in a melodramatic nocturnal scene
    I'm a refugee from a disconcerted affair
    as the lead pipe morning falls
    and the waitress calls

    CHORUS

    Hey Murray, thanks heaps, but nope, don't recognise ANY of those words.. :(
    I think I'll go Google his lyrics and wade my way through them til I find it. It's bugging the bejeebies outa me now....well, has been for a few decades really :?

    What I'm worried about is that when *do* find it, it'll have zip to do with the clues I gave hehehe

    Found it...well, found one I remember I loved...maybe I loved two, or even more...maybe I meant lullabys/kid's story lines, not a ballerina/pixie...will keep looking.
    So, is this song from Heart Attack and Vine? reckon you can buy it on CD these days??

    On the Nickel

    sticks and stones will break my bones,
    but i always will be true, and when
    your mama is dead and gone,
    i'll sing this lullabye just for you,
    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.

    so you better bring a bucket,
    there is a hole in the pail,
    and if you don't get my letter,
    then you'll know that i'm in jail,
    and what becomes of all the little boys,
    who never say their prayers,
    well they're sleepin' like a baby,
    on the nickel over there.

    and if you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star,
    well you'll find out where the scarecrows sit,
    just like punchlines between the cars,
    and i know a place where a royal flush,
    can never beat a pair, and even thomas jefferson,
    is on the nickel over there.

    so ring around the rosie, you're sleepin' in the rain,
    and you're always late for supper,
    and man you let me down again,
    i thought i heard a mockingbird, roosevelt knows where,
    you can skip the light, with grady tuck,
    on the nickel over there.

    so what becomes of all the little boys,
    who run away from home,
    well the world just keeps gettin' bigger,
    once you get out on your own,
    so here's to all the little boys,
    the sandman takes you where,
    you'll be sleepin' with a pillowman,
    on the nickel over there.

    so let's climb up through that button hole,
    and we'll fall right up the stairs,
    and i'll show you where the short dogs grow,
    on the nickel over there.


    Edited: so I don't runaway with this thread...I'm just tacking this on.
    Murray, was THIS a boozy, sloooow, drawn out fabulous ballad???????????
    If so, I think it's IT>>>
    Mr. Siegal

    I spent all my money in a mexican whorehouse,
    across the street from a catholic church,
    and then i wiped off my revolver,
    and i buttoned up my burgundy shirt,
    i shot the morning in the back,
    with my red wings on,
    i told the sun he'd better go back down,
    and if i can find a book of matches,
    i'm goin' to burn this hotel down.

    you got to tell me brave captain,
    why are the wicked so strong,
    how do the angels get to sleep,
    when the devil leaves the porchlight on.

    well i dropped thirty grand on the nugget slots,
    i had to sell my ass on fremont street,
    and the drummer said there's sanctuary,
    over at the bagdad room,
    and now it's one for the money, two for the show,
    three to get ready, and go man go,
    i said tell me mr. siegel,
    how do i get out of here.

    well willard's knocked out on a bottle of heat,
    drivin' dangerous curves across the dirty sheets,
    he said man you ought to see her,
    when her parents are gone,
    man you ought to hear her when the siren's on.
    you got to tell me brave captain,
    why are the wicked so strong,
    how do the angels get to sleep,
    when the devil leaves the porchlight on.

    don't you know that ain't no broken bottle,
    that i picked up in my headlights,
    on the other side of the nevada line,
    where they live hard die young,
    nd have a good lookin' corpse every time,
    well the pit-boss said i should keep movin',
    this is where you go when you die,
    and so i shot a black beauty,
    and i kissed her right between the eyes.

    well willard's knocked out on a bottle of heat,
    drivin' dangerous curves across the dirty sheets,
    he said man you ought to see her,
    when her parents are gone,
    man you ought to hear her when the siren's on.

    you got to tell me brave captain,
    why are the wicked so strong,
    how do the angels get to sleep,
    when the devil leaves the porchlight on.


    Added on again to say thank you Murray for the offer...do you have those songs/that album?

    Nope, but I remember seeing them live at O day at Deakin University in oh, musta been the VERY early 80's. I hated it 'cos as I said, I was a dag. I was listening to 3UZ country radio when all my friends were into 3XY!

    When I was 15 my Mother arranged for me to see Meatloaf with her younger (20's ish) work mates. I'd never heard of him. The Angels were the support band, their first tour I think.....I sat ALL night with my fingers in my ears and praying it would end :lol:

    Midnight oil weren't only brilliant because of their music and the way they presented it but I loved them most for their message and committment to a cause, be that indiginous land rights or sustainability or oppossition to the US or..... I'm not sure what 3UZ was about but if it was the same as 2RE then I simpathise, I hated the horserace calling on a saturday and the country music every other day ( I do like Slim though)

    Tullymoor,

    You're right, the album is Heartattack & Vine...have it right here. :D

    My favourite Tom Waits recording is the bootleg "Cold Beer On A Hot Night" - recorded live in Sydney 1979.

    I mentioned the Oils Grease...nobody who has seen them live could not IMO... 8)

    tully- did you find all the songs you were looking for?
    sounds like an album you'd enjoy is a compilation of his old stuff: used songs 73-80, it has heartattack and vine on it, pm me if you're interested.

    murray- eggs and sausage is a pretty cool song huh?

    Which tour was that Dani? I saw them in 1993 - they were great then.

    Does this mean that you are a fellow metal head? I was a little afraid that I was all alone... :lol:
