and it ain't what the moon did
i got what i paid for now
see you tomorrow
hey frank can i borrow
a couple of bucks from you
to go waltzing matilda waltzing matilda
you'll go waltzing matilda with me
i'm an innocent victim
of a blinded alley
and i'm tired of all these soldiers here
no-one speaks english
and everything's broken
and my Stacys are soakin' wet
to go waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
you'll go a waltzing matilda with me
now the dogs are barking
and the taxi cabs parking
a lot they can do for me
i begged you to stab me
you tore my shirt open
and i'm down on my knees tonight
old bushmills i staggered
you buried the dagger
your silhouette window light
to go waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
you'll go a waltzing matilda with me
and i've lost my st. christopher
now that i kissed her
and the one-arm bandit knows
and the maverick chinaman
and the cold-blooded signs
and the girls down by the striptease shows go
waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
you'll go a waltzing matilda with me
no i don't want your sympathy
fugitives say
that the streets aren't for dreaming now
manslaughter dragnets
and the ghosts that sell memories
want a piece of the action anyhow
go waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
you'll go waltzing matilda with me
and you can ask any sailor
and the keys from the jailor
and the old men in wheelchairs know
that matilda's the defendant
she killed about a hundred
and she follows wherever you may go
waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
you'll go waltzing matilda with me
and it's a battered old suitcase
to a hotel someplace
and a wound that will never heal
no prima donnas the perfume is on
an old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
and goodnight to the street-sweepers,
the night watchmen flame-keepers
and goodnight matilda too.
Burma Shave! Was always the last sign. The end of the line, if you will. It's where they (and we) are headed.
Burma Shave signs were a fixture on the American blue highways back in the day. They were multi-sign simple rhymes that always ended in "Burma Shave" to promote the product.
To even write about this, Tom Waits had to know the meaning of those signs. That isn't learned in books. In fact, it's learned on the road. Ask Jack Kerouac.
To capture the wild frustration of growing up in the middle of nowhere, Tom Waits had to get it on a level that most urbanites will never understand.
To put it into mad beat lyric poetry, Tom Waits had to exit to excuse-me-f-u reality.
If you don't get it - get it - then go back to your whatever womb and have a nice day. I'll light a cigarette and exhale you out of my mind.
