Bad As Me

It was a long night but it paid off today. I am back on track with dissertation! (Thank ....!!!)

And to make this day even better.... a new Tom Waits album!

I managed to get myself a code to be able to stream the new album up until Friday. (because I am a total geek/fan).

I always seem to listen to Tom Waits around this time of year so its good to have some new material to listen to!

Its just his usual easy listening!

Stand out track for me so far is

Raised Right Men

There ain't enough raised right men
It takes a raised right man to keep a happy hen
I said there ain't enough raised right men

Heavens to murkatroid
Miners to coal
A good women can make a diamond out of a measly lump of coal
You need the patience of a glacier
If you can wait that long
Open up his window and admit it that you're wrong

They're ain't enough raised right men
It takes raised right men to keep a happy hen

Mackey Debiasi
Was a complicated man
He quarreled with his woman
And she quarreled with her man
His head was just too thick
So she knocked out a tooth
He's that lonely man on the Turnpike in the
Toll takers booth

They're ain't enough raised right men

Gunplay Maxwell and
Flat Nose George
Ice Pick Ed Newcomb
On a slab in the morgue
Flat Nose looked at Gunplay
And they all looked at me
With a good woman's love we
Could have saved all three
And there ain't enough raised right men
It takes raised right men to keep a happy hen
There ain't enough raised right men
