"New Coat Of Paint" by Tom Waits from the album 'The Heart Of Saturday Night'

Lyrics

Let's put a new coat of paint
On this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, we'll be knocking 'em down
You wear a dress
Baby I'll wear a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
In that Burgundy sky

All our scribbled love dreams
Are lost or thrown away
Here amidst the shuffle
Of an overflowing day
Love needs a transfusion
Let's shoot it full of wine
Fishing for a good time
Starts with throwing in your line

So let's put a new coat of paint
On this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, set 'em up, we'll be knocking 'em down
You wear a dress baby
I'll wear a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
In that burgundy sky

We lost Dr. John but we still have Tom Waits two of the masters who could paint pictures with words .

Besides Tom’s lyrics, his piano playing is a joy to listen to. WHAT AN ARTIST!

That real city feel. From lyrics to groove. Thanks Tom

Some of my very earliest memories are of this album. It was one of my Dad's favourites 😍

From the time that I was a baby, my Dad always made a point of teaching me about music and also about care and handling of vinyl records.

Collecting records has become a lifelong passion 😍

I've always been a BIG fan of Mr.

This is one of the best male blues jazz vocal performances ever, he sung it live with the orchestra while playing his piano

Lived in the same town for years with Mr. Waites. Always the Ham n Brie, never one of my specials, ha! Fishing around in his pockets for change. Exactly what one would expect, in a very good way. Horrible driver, though, been behind one of his big moves. Long live Tom!!!

Bellissima canzone. Ho provato a scrivere "Tom Waits: le più belle canzoni" (Tom Waits: best songs") e mi ha dato tante tracce ma non questa che è da brivido. Bhooo. Comunque a questa un bel 10 ci sta!
