Friday left me fumblin' with the blues...

Thanks for the feedback yesterday. My decision has been made (simple). I'm going to start doing regular weekly features right here on The Verdant Dude. Look for a schedule of upcoming events later in the month. I'm going to start/re-start the new features in September.

So until then, there's this...

Fumblin' With the Blues

Tom Waits

Friday left me fumblin' with the blues

And it's hard to win when you always lose

Because the nightspots spend your spirit

Beat your head against the wall

Two dead ends and you've still got to choose

You know the bartenders

They all know my name

And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame

And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head

When I should be living clean instead

You know the ladies I've been seeing off and on

Well they spend your love and then they're gone

You can't be lovin' someone who is savage and cruel

Take your love and then they leave on out of town

No they do

Well now fallin' in love is such a breeze

But its standin' up that's so hard for me

I wanna squeeze you but I'm scared to death I'd break your back

You know your perfume

Well it won't let me be

You know the bartenders all know my name

And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame

And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head

When I should be living clean instead

Come on baby

Let your love light shine

Gotta bury me inside of your fire

Because your eyes are 'nough to blind me

You're like a-looking at the sun

You gotta whisper tell me I'm the one

Come on and whisper tell me I'm the one

Gotta whisper tell me I'm the one

Come on and whisper tell me I'm the one
