here's the words to "Anywhere I lay my head" from "Rain Dogs"
"My head is spinning round
my heart is in my shoes
I went and set the Thames on fire
Now I must come back down
She's laughing in her sleeve at me
I can feel it in my bones
But anywhere, I'm gonna lay my head, boys
I will call my home.
Well I see that the world is upside down
My pockets were filled up with gold
Now the clouds have covered o'er
And the wind is blowing cold
I don't need anybody
Because I learned to be alone
And anywhere
I lay my head, boys
I will call my home.
I just have 4 Tom Waits albums: Foriegn Affairs, Rain Dogs,
swordfishtrombones, franks wild years. His songs tend to have a lot of
words. If there's one song in particular you'd like, mail me and I'll do
it.

Does anyone have a Tom Waits discography? I've only got what's available
on CD, which is (in order of recording?): "The Heart of Saturday Night",
"Small Change", "Nighthawks at the Diner", "Raindogs", "Swordfishtrombones",
"Frank's Wild Years" and "Big Time".
I know that there are other albums not out on CD...I just don't know what
they are.
"Big Time" is also out on video now; it was made into a full movie. It's
(I believe) taken from the "Frank's Wild Years" concerts (but not the
concerta).

4. Small Change
5. Foreign Affairs
6. Blue Valentine
7. Heart Attack & Vine
8. Bounced Checks ("greatest hits" LP with 1 or 2 new tracks)
9. An Anthology of Tom Waits (another "greatest hits" LP)

1. One from the Heart (movie soundtrack: songs written by Tom Waits,
performed by Tom Waits and Crystal Gayle)

"Foreign Affairs", "The Asylum Years", and maybe one other. "Closing Time" is
his first album (I believe) and "The Asylum Years" is a 'best of' from his
albums on the Asylum label. If no one posts further information about these,
you can E-mail me and I'll check at home. I think I have everything except
"Blue Valentine" (I did tape it from a friend, though) and "The Asylum Years".

Well, there's a cut on the "Smack my Crack" compilation from Giorno Poetry
Systems (GPS 038) called "The Pontiac", where he talks about cars he's
owned. It's a real short bit, but kinda funny.
The album also includes songs n' stuff by the Butthole Surfers, William S.
Burroughs, Einsturzende Neubauten, Nick Cave, and Diamanda Galas. Worth
owning, but get the CD. It has three (I think) extra cuts. Burroughs,
Nick Cave, and Tom are the highlights, Chad and Sudan are awful, and
John Giorno's "Sucking Mud"...well, it sucks.
Incidentally, I think that Tom would like it that you played his stuff over
the phone. I once read an interview with him that talked about how he likes
to hear music from a really cheap radio on a table in the next room. Let's
the world mix with the music, I guess.

Recently, a friend of mine in New York played a Tom Waits song for me
over the telephone (obviously not ideal conditions). The song described
different cars Waits and his family and friends have owned. Does anyone
know what album (if any) this cut is off? Is the album, it it exists,
still in print? Thanks in advance.
P.D.

Actually, I think Blue Valentine was released on Elektra.
