Tom Waits - Muriel Lyrics






muriel since you left town the clubs closed down
and there's one more burned out lamppost down on the main street
down where we used to stroll
and muriel i still hit all the same old haunts
and you follow me wherever i go
and muriel i see you on a saturday night
in a penny arcade with your hair tied back
and the diamond twinkle in your eye
is the only wedding ring i'll buy you
muriel

and muriel how many times i've left this town
to hide from your memory
and it haunts me
but i only get as far as the next whiskey bar
i buy another cheap cigar and i'll see you every night
hey muriel muriel
hey buddy got a light

Tom Waits Muriel Comments
  1. T.... T....

    I had a “girlfriend” called Muriel but she does not deserves this song tbh

  2. s.... ....

    This song pairs well with a bad break up.

  3. E.... M....

    My real name is Muriel and I had no idea there was a song with my name! Both thrilling and a little jarring to hear my name sung/spoken so many times in a few moments. LOL Thank you for posting. ;)

    E.... M....

    Keep listening Muriel, he only gets better.

  4. j.... b....

    I named my cat Muriel after this song.

  5. M.... o....

    Mr Waits let's every note linger and steers it to almost undetectable perfection. My ears embrace the mastery of the instruments that gracefully capture an atmosphere so Well that one can't help but hear glass klinking, and see people chatting at a close distance under dim lights and smoke.

  6. C.... K....

    Qué lindo tema!!

  7. M.... S....

    One of his best. Tom might not love these 70's gems any more but I certainly do!

  8. g.... a....

  11. k.... 5....

    is the song just a homage to his cigar...muriel cjgars

    k.... 5....

    Maybe he's singing about Edie Adams. Drinking to forget her.

    k.... 5....

    kayfabe 58 How old are you? Just asking

    k.... 5....

    The song is about Ernie Kovacs's widow.

    k.... 5....

    It's about everyone's lost love. Her name is Muriel. I named a cat Muriel after this song. She was sweet and I miss her.

  12. m.... w....

    wow es gibt doch ein Lied von meinem Namen :o

    m.... w....

    muri w. Das beste war ja, als ein Mädchen aus dem Zeltlager Mal zu mir gesagt hat: "Du bist schon gestraft mit deinem Namen, oder?"
    ...also eigentlich mag ich meinen Namen... Ist halt nicht so typisch deutsch, kennt halt kein Schwein.

    m.... w....

    das ist doof von ihr.. Ich mag ihn eigentlich auch, es nervt nur, dass jeder immer nachfragt..

    m.... w....

    muri w. Ich heiß auch Muriel (nicht französisch gesprochen) und hab die selben "Probleme" Haha

    m.... w....

    Too😂😍
