And those were the days of roses,Poetry and prose and MarthaAll I had was you and all you had was me.There was no tomorrows,We'd packed away our sorrowsAnd we saved them for a rainy day.

"Il paradiso per me? Mia moglie ed io sulla Route 66 con una tazza di caffè, una chitarra da quattro soldi, un registratore preso dal rigattiere, una stanza del Motel 6, e una macchina in buone condizioni parcheggiata davanti alla porta."- Tom Waits -

Judson Hair

One of the best songs by one of our greatest song writers! Love the rare live recording! It provides a taste of Tom's voice in the days when the gruffness and gravel was less pronounced and hearing him sing his own wonderful songs was a bit easier on the ears..

Absolutely love this song. Sad thing is I have myself a bit of a Martha. Haven't seen her in more than five years, don't know what she's doing today, and now at 44 i don't see how I'll ever be able to get used to us not being together. Maybe in twenty years, at 64 I'll be like old Tom Frost. Not a joyous prospect, but the song is still beautiful. Hope I'll be able to keep liking it.

Syd Barrett

No, your namne is Ally Danish.

John Moore

Such a great song. I'd love to get a copy of this show.

This version has the end cut off (possibly the best part) where the MC says Tom will be back tomorrow night for "the price of one tenth of a dimebag, it's only a dollar", then says "Tom will be joined Thursday night through the end of the week with John Wa.. John Stewart.. John Wait..? [mumble] did I [mumble] John Wait?...... Tom Waits, once again, come on!" [followed by awkward pause, hesitant applause] I think the MC probably made use of his own dimebag during the show.

Ally Danish
