Tom Waits - (Meet Me In) Paradise Alley (Paradise Alley) (1978)

[MrHammoreds]

I can't help wondering how many people have missed out on seeing this charming film, without realising that it is far better than, and totally different to, anything else done by Stallone. An underrated gem in my opinion.

How is it that I've never heard this until now!?

Far out, it's been at least 30 years since I've seen Paradise Alley. I didn't realise back then that Tom Waits sung in this.

THIS IS ONE OF STALLONES BEST MOVIES<, , , underated, , , i remember this one WELL< it was good, , SOwas GOOD FELLAS, , , and of coarse, GD FATHER, , ,

[myMUSICrocks]

The film brings up hard life sadness and love

[gargantuaism]

Very well edited to show the actual few seconds Tom Waits sings this great song in the movie. That truck rams through the place and that's the end of the song in the film. I still think this song was Oscar worthy and just was not marketed right to get the nomination. Plus the film made no money and that was also a problem. I always liked it and Stallone actually wrote it before ROCKY.

(Meet Me In) Paradise Alley Lyrics

When the hawk's in the kitchen and the sirens in bloom
And the losers have been swept from the gin mills
Hello sucker, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
34th Street good tidings to you

And will you meet me in Paradise Alley tonight
We'll leave town in a bottle of whiskey
And come on, you old scarecrow, and be a wheel, not a lamppost
Just put a saddle on a wishbone, and you're halfway there

You know, the heroes will wait where their dreams used to be
Go on and ask the hooligans as they sweep down the midway
I'm going waltzing tonight with the Statue of Liberty
And come on, you old lazy-bones, let's get out of this place

Will you meet me in Paradise Alley tonight
We'll leave town in a bottle of whiskey
And come on, you old scarecrow, and be a wheel, not a lamppost
Just put a saddle on a wishbone, and you're halfway there

Now there's a counterfeit moon, and I'm seeing right through it
Cause the dawn spent it all in one place
And we'll rise to the top of the morning tonight
You can ride on my shoulders, and I'll show you the way

If you meet me in Paradise Alley tonight
We'll leave town in a bottle of whiskey
So come on, you old scarecrow, and be a wheel, not a lamppost
Just put a saddle on a wishbone, and you're halfway there

❤❤❤❤🇳🇵

Fue una película muy buena a mi parecer, realmente las críticas de cine solo son personas amargadas que muchas veces abusan de ese poder caprichosamente.

Kid Salami look's a bit like Ryan Garcia!
