    I'd never heard of Tom Waits until the night in the mid 70s I was in bed in Little Torch Key watching Martin Mull's America 2-night. Tom started playing "The Piano Has Been Drinking", I bolted upright, swung my feet to the floor and yelled "Who the hell is that?" "Who IS that?" It's been an obsession ever since. Jim Varney was on the show as well

    Edna Milton in a drop-dead suit
    Dutch Pink on a downtown train
    Two-dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot
    I'm in the corner on the pouring rain
    Sixteen men on a dead man's chest
    And I've been drinking from a broken cup
    Two pairs of pants and a mohair vest
    I'm full of bourbon, I can't stand up
    Hey, little bird, fly away home
    Your house is on fire, your children are alone
    Hey, little bird, fly away home
    Your house is on fire, your children are alone
    Schiffer broke a bottle on Morgan's head
    And I've been stepping on the Devil's tail
    Across the stripes of a full moon's head
    Through the bars of a Cuban jail
    Bloody fingers on a purple knife
    A flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass
    I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife
    Admire the view from up on top of the mast
    Hey, little bird, fly away home
    Your house is on fire, your children are alone
    Hey, little bird, fly away home
    Your house is on fire, your children are alone
    [Guitar solo]
    Hey, little bird, fly away home
    Your house is on fire, your children are alone
    Hey, little bird, fly away home
    Your house is on fire, your children are alone
    Yellow sheets on a Hong Kong bed
    Stazybo horn and a Slingerland ride
    "To the carnival," is what she said

    Jockey Full of Bourbon Songtext

    I'm in the corner on the pouring rain
    Sixteen men on a dead man′s chest
    And I've been drinking from a broken cup
    Two pairs of pants and a mohair vest

    Hey little bird, fly away home

    And I'm stepping on the devil′s tail
    Across the stripes of a full moon's head
    And through the bars of a Cuban jail
    Bloody fingers on a purple knife
    Flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass
    I′m all alone with someone else's wife
    Admire the view from up on top of the mast
    Hey little bird, fly away home
    House is on fire, children are alone
    Hey little bird, fly away home

    Writer(s): Tom Waits Lyrics
    (Jockey Full of Bourbon Lyrics Übersetzung
    Edna Million in einem Toter Briefkasten Kostüm
    Dutch Pink in einem Zug ins Zentrum
    Eine 2-Dollar Pistole wird nicht losgehen
    Und ich steh an der Ecke in strömendem Regen
    Sechzehn Mann auf des toten Mannes Kiste
    Der Krug geht so lange zum Brunnen bis er bricht
    Zwei Hosen und eine wollene Weste
    Ich bin voll mit Bourbon, aufstehn kann ich nicht
    Hy Vögelchen, fliege schnell heim
    Das Haus steht in Flammen, die Kinder schrein
    Schiffer haut ne Flasche auf Morgans Kopf
    Ich kriech dem Teufel aus dem Arsch
    Und über die Streifen des Vollmondkopfs
    Und durch die Zellen eines Knast in Cuba
    Ein purpurnes Messer in blutigen Fingern
    Trinke Flamingo aus einem Cocktailglas
    Liege im Gras mit einer fremden Frau
    Genieße die Aussicht von ganz oben
    Hy Vögelchen, fliege schnell heim
    Das Haus steht in Flammen, die Kinder schrein
    Gelbe Laken auf einem Bett in Hong Kong
    Pauken und Trompeten
    Auf zum Karneval sagte sie
    Hundert Dollar und dein Blut wird kalt
    Edna Million in einem Toter Briefkasten Kostüm
    Dutch Pink in einem Zug ins Zentrum
    Eine 2-Dollar Pistole wird nicht losgehen
    Und ich steh an der Ecke in strömendem Regen
    Hy Vögelchen, fliege schnell heim
    Das Haus steht in Flammen, die Kinder schrein

    I doubt think I'll ever really get Tom Waits. The songwriting is clearly great, but the drunk old hobo covered in soot and barnacles schtick really grates on me
    Are there any albums where the vocals, instrumentation, arrangements are more I don't know... pleasant sounding?
    I like the track 'Hold On' from Mule Variations

      You have to ease your way in to Tom. Start with Closing Time. You'll soon be on the hard stuff.
