Only just remembered this the other day, one of Scotland’s underappreciated groups (dodgy recordings here, quite old)

This thread is seriously lacking a gratuitous dose of Tom Waits:

Christ I love that album

Frank settled down in the Valley,
and he hung his wild years on a
nail that he drove through his
wife’s forehead.

He sold used office furniture out
there on San Fernando Road and
assumed a $30,000 loan at
15 1/4 % and put a down payment
on a little two bedroom place.

His wife was a spent piece of used jet trash
Made good bloody-marys, kept her mouth
shut most of the time, had a little Chihuahua
named Carlos that had some kind of skin
disease and was totally blind.

They had a thoroughly modern kitchen;
self-cleaning oven (the whole bit)
Frank drove a little sedan.
They were so happy.

One night Frank was on his way home
from work, stopped at the liquor store,
picked up a couple of Mickey’s Big Mouth’s.
Drank 'em in the car on his way to the
Shell station; he got a gallon of gas in a can.

Drove home, doused everything in
the house, torched it.
Parked across the street laughing,
watching it burn, all Halloween
orange and chimney red.

Frank put on a top forty station,
got on the Hollywood Freeway
headed North.

Never could stand that dog.

Morrissey’s staying at the Clarence at the moment, or at least he was at the weekend anyway. Is it wrong if I go and hang around outside it until I see him?

Probably.

Morrissey is an incredible songwriter imo but displays many cuntish properties.

Check out post 61 on this thread and you’ll find that very song. Agree with your general point so here we go from The Great One

There’s a leak, there’s a leak in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves and lawyers

Well things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street
And when they’re on a roll she pulls a razor from her boot
And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet

So put a candle in the window and a kiss upon his lips
As the dish outside the window fills with rain
Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
And pay the fiddler off 'til I come back again

I seen the Brooklyn Dodgers playing at Ebbets Field
Seen the Kentucky Derby too
It’s fast women, slow horses, unreliable sources,
And I’m holding up the lamp-post if you want to know

So you ask me what I’m doing here holding up the lamp-post,
Flipping this quarter, trying to make up my mind
And if it’s heads I go to Tennessee, and tails I buy a drink,
If it lands on the edge I keep talking to you

Have you listened to ‘The King Of Limbs’ farmer? If so what do you make of it?

I haven’t Larry. I have stacks of stuff on the iPod that I have yet to listen to.

What do you make of it yourself?

Ruth - Polaroid/Roman/Photo

Like it. First four songs from it are quite different to last four. Some fantastic stuff on it.

The Smiths live at Rockpalast on German TV from 1984 (I think) is on Sky Arts 1 right now. It’s pretty fucking brilliant.
