There's something about remorse and regret that demands a smoky bar, a husky voice, and a piano. Nobody does the piano bar regret blues quite like Tom Waits. so today, a trio of Toms.
While Tori Amos doesn't fit the piano bar blues profile, she did one Waits cover on her
Strange Little Girls lp in which, if you close your eyes, you just might see her in a different light.
Well, things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl.The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street.And when she's on a roll she pulls a razor from her boot and a thousand pigeons fall around her feet.So put a candle in the window and a kiss upon his lips,til the dish outside the window fills with rain.Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart;Pay the fiddler off til I come back again.
