"Hoist That Rag" by Tom Waits from the album 'Real Gone' (Remastered)

Lyrics

Well I learned the trade
From Piggy Knowles and
Sing Sing Tommy Shay Boys
god used me as hammer boys
To beat his weary drum today

Hoist that rag
Hoist that rag

The sun is up the world is flat
Damn good address for a rat
The smell of blood
The drone of flies
You know what to do if
The baby cries

Hoist that rag
Hoist that rag

Well we stick our fingers in
The ground, heave and
Turn the world around
Smoke is blacking out the sun
At night I pray and clean my gun
The cracked bell rings as
The ghost bird sings and the gods
Go begging here
So just open fire
As you hit the shore
All is fair in love
And war

Hoist that rag
Hoist that rag
Hoist that rag
Hoist that rag

I have strong "The world is dying and we are dancing on it's rotting corpse" vibes from this song, awesome

Only Tom could look at a rag and say I'm going to make a classic about this.

Wow. This might end up being my theme song for 2025. How far we have fallen... and yet to fall.

I can live with this one; it's got a bit more of a dirty tango kind of sound to it. I still consider the original version the "true" version, but this one isn't bad.

Can't decide which version I like better. The vocals here have so much more depth, but the instrumentation is a bit drowned out. Oh well, guess I'll have to listen to both!

the original version picked up when the chorus comes in, giving it a release of tension which gives it a kick. the bass drum replaced with bongos? idk. its way more latin sounding. its good.

The original version is dirtier, I like it quite a bit. But the horns in this one KILL!

If I ever have to actually kill a person righteously.

This will be on full blast.
