Waits, Tom - Who Are You? Lyrics

Well I fell in love with your sailors mouth, and your wounded eyes. (Hits me hard every time)

I love Tom Waits. Almost the Charles Bukowski of music... Such beautiful music.

He's channeling Bruce Springsteen here.

Except for the voice Bruce does not even come close on any level (despite his mainstream popularity)

Over a year later, and I still can't forget that girl..

Well I fell in love with your sailor's mouth and your wounded eyes. Who the fuck writes such brilliance?? Tom fuckin Waits--thats who! 🤩

So apt for a heartbreak of mine. Two damaged lovers in the last century.

Does this sound like the river by bruce springsteen or is it just me?

"How do your pistol and bible and your sleeping pills go"
This albulm album rocks. I love Tom Waits

top 5 Tom Waits songs ...Bone Machine is one of his best for sure.

Bone mashine is the best. Not one of.

One of, if not the greatest record of all time

Gin drinks Tom Waits to forget its troubles.

Women love to heartbreak men, so they can go to Hell? Fuck that Race of People!

Are you still jumping out of Windows in expensive clothes......Love you Tom...❤

This is for his daughter. She is amazing!

Like 10 years later this song still kills me. I’ll never love another, and I’ll never understand why

unique and great.

This song to me has a deeper meaning sort of pertaining to all the deciet , lies and trickery put apon us by the powers that be.

For every ex-girlfriend ever.

for his daughter. she is amazing!

@lion dream hey alright

goosebumps

I fucking love this song. Keep coming back for no apparent reason.

This has to be my favorite Tom Waits songs. Bone Machine is a damned good album.

This just reminds me that all we hear on tv now with the adele, the kathy, the one direction etc... well they're ok until you hear something like tom waits, the ramones, talking heads, nirvana, elliott smith.. then you ask yourself how come those type of guys aren't on tv? Why do they show mediocrity, disney-compatible stuff? And why do all those second-rate artists all sound the same? And who decides how they sound?
Tto those who feel what I am saying, I say let's turn off our tvs, radios etc. I don't like being treated like that way.

because they want you docile and unthinking.
freedom is everything

senglorama Amen, they tell the brainless what to love/enjoy. we know better, we have graduated from the school of higher education known as Tom Waits University. Where heart break and misery and laughter walk hand in hand, we are the truly lucky ones because​ we still feel what's real and meaningful. these other people are delusional and I really don't want to join the world that they believe in. it's a false and unfeeling place, where the only one who matters is one's self. true soul and heart ache comes from loving someone more than yourself, and that's what sets Tom and his truest fans apart from the rest of the world. God bless you true people of feeling and love and sorrow. God smiles on hearts like ours.

The most swimmers are in shallow water...

Damn, we'll said!

On the main building of Tom Waits U. is the school's motto: "Experience Is What You Get Just After You Needed It"

this song should be called "are you still a lying slut?"

this song is written from the woman's perspective.that's why is beautiful.

Diäb Soulé absolutely not...

Its acctualy from a man about a cheating whore...Men dont pretend to love, women do. Look any romantic movie women love...the plot is the same, women cheats on a "lesser" guy in the movie for her "one true love" so think before you say shit like that again

On what planet?

>>
Men dont pretend to love, women do
<<
You are serious ...??? Oh, sorry, that's right, the movies prove it.

Well that's a lie, lol.
Why throwing shit on the fan?

Read the lyrics.

Tom waits.remind me to my ex he uesd to love all he's songs.

I dont remember why I bought all these spaghetti strainers

Bitter tears like some times they call "hi ho whiskey..."

sadly beautiful ... 💞💞

Tom Waits writes the best Heartbreak songs ...

Hard to argue but I'd put Randy Newman in there too.

tom is mumber 1

There would seem to be no better love/hate song than this. Period. 

The one down thumb was from the person he wrote this about...

the person is still jumping out of windows in expensive clothes

This is a beautiful song in its honesty, David Rodgers. It reminds me that murder victims are probably often as responsible as the killers. It reminds me of my marriage, my sister, or myself. There are all kinds of reasons for wearing a mask. I hope to never be in a situation where I feel that I must to get by.

No, I thumbed it upways.

@coreycox2345 I get you... But murderers never deal out justice. It's vengeance, at best.

So beautiful

...how do your pistol and your bible, and your sleeping pills go?

Lovely. And bitter. And everything else that gives you goosebumps.

Can the typical tantalizing Tom ever sing calmly evenly quietly about NOTHING!? hhhh

..you're welcome man..thanks for the kind words..enjoy!!

thanks a lot for sharing the not-so easy to get lyrics, that's a little act of love to all the non-english speaking tom waits fans as me

peace
