    "come on up to the house" is top 5 waits for me.

    I'd love to hear that.

    I'm going through a huge Waits kick again this month....getting myself prepared for the entity known as "Orphans"

    I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the last song on the album....'Come on up to the house'.
    It's possibly my favourite all time Tom Waits song.

    Whoops! Missed that one StoneG82

    to quote myself....

    thanks for the mp3....that's really cool.

    Waits is the man.

    Tom Waits is really cool!
    I love the song "Gods away on buisiness". It´s not on the record... but anyway.

    But "Pony" on that record is so damn good! I really love that one!
