Broken Bicycle

[Larry Winger]

I'm sure I've seen this song alluded to in this ng, so apologies for
raising the question again.

One of the acts that we have promoted in our local community, an amazing
blues singer-songwriter from California, Kristina Olsen, who tours with
musical partner Peter Grayling, a cellist from Australia, (a duet whose
very first gig in the UK was at our small and intimate venue), closed an
emotionally turbo-charged gig this weekend with 'Broken Bicycle'. I'd
never heard it before, but I would very much like to hear it in the
master's voice, if it is available. Somebody suggested it was on a
movie, conceivably One from the Heart? Did Tom ever sing this song?

I'm sure the well-educated among us will immediately help to educate me,
and I know I could have checked the lyrics sites, but I thought it would
be interesting to communicate the live cover I heard and the experience I
loved.

cheers
Larry Winger

The song is actually "Broken Bicycles" (plural), and yes, it is on One From
The Heart, but it seems to me that for Waits-heads, the more definitive
version is from a live 1981 Montreal performance where Tom starts with
"Empty Pockets" and segues into "Broken Bicycles". Both versions can be
readily found on Napster.
