Rain Dog

Inside a broken clock, splashing the wine with all the rain dogs
Taxi, we'd rather walk, huddle a doorway with the rain dogs
For I am a rain dog, too

Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away all of the lights
We've always been out of our minds

The rum pours strong and thin, beat out the dustman with the rain dogs
Aboard a shipwreck train, give my umbrella to the rain dogs
For I am a rain dog, too

Oh, how we danced with the Rose of Tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you whispered to me
You'll never be going back home
Oh, how we danced with the Rose of Tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you whispered to me
You'll never be going back home

(Tom Waits)

    @ Werner: jaja... aber der Text war ne Verlegenheitslösung weil
    @ Gianni: ich einen ganz anderen Song im Kopf hatte und den Text erst spät gefunden hab. (Dat Piano guck ich mir an - das klingt sehr schön schräg im Text)
    @ Stefan Ko: aber die zwei wohnen doch gar nicht in meinen Kopf :-o

    vielleicht bau ich den Text hier aber doch noch ein....'türlich auch Tom Waits:


    Hang Down Your Head

    Hush a wild violet, hush a band of gold
    Hush you're in a story I heard somebody told
    Tear the promise from my heart, tear my heart today
    You have found another, oh baby I must go away
    So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
    Hang down your head tomorrow, hang down your head Marie


    Hush my love the rain now, hush my love was so true
    Hush my love a train now well it takes me away from you


    So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
    Hang down your head, hang down your head, hang down your head Marie
    So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
    Hang down your head, hang down your head, hang down your head Marie

    ...ich mag ja lieber den Jockey full of Bourbon sehen. Und Edna Million in dem totschicken Kleid.

    ...Der Titel ist gut gewählt, es scheint Elektroinstallationen von der Decke zu regenen !
    Dürfen wir auch bald mit diesem hier rechnen ?
    (Lyrics lege ich schon mal freundlicherweise bei)
    Gruss

    The Piano Has Been Drinking

    The piano has been drinking
    my necktie is asleep
    and the combo went back to New York
    the jukebox has to take a leak
    and the carpet needs a haircut
    and the spotlight looks like a prison break
    cause the telephone's out of cigarettes
    and the balcony's on the make
    and the piano has been drinking
    the piano has been drinking...

    and the menus are all freezing
    and the lightman's blind in one eye
    and he can't see out of the other
    and the piano-tuner's got a hearing aid
    and he showed up with his mother
    and the piano has been drinking
    the piano has been drinking

    cause the bouncer is a Sumo wrestler
    cream puff casper milk toast
    and the owner is a mental midget
    with the I.Q. of a fencepost
    cause the piano has been drinking
    the piano has been drinking...

    and you can't find your waitress
    with a Geiger counter
    And she hates you and your friends
    and you just can't get served
    without her
    and the box-office is drooling
    and the bar stools are on fire
    and the newspapers were fooling
    and the ash-trays have retired
    the piano has been drinking
    the piano has been drinking
    The piano has been drinking
    not me, not me, not me, not me, not me

    Lieber rain dog als Underdog, ein Schirm hilft dagegen, wenn die in der oberen Etage undicht sind ...

    @ Lothar: meinereiner hört nur ganz selten mal Musik - aber dann heftig. Das kann also dauern mit den Bauten ... but thanx for the tipp
    @ The Major: naja, Tom Waits muß mal sein
    @ Stefan: no turntable no more... grad noch'n CD-Player nowadays
    @ Petra: Right mit der Spinne - und right mit dem Rest.

    Ähm, da auf dem Bild, der will doch nicht etwa ne neurotische Spinne fressen... ich weeß nich wat da die Petra zu sagt, wenn die das sieht....
