Tom Waits Live Silent Night + Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minn

I must say I have never really got into the Christmas Mood as Much as I have this year.  Call it i'm happy or grown up. Maybe I just love the snow and enjoy the warmth that the holidays offer.  Maybe what I just said was bullshit but it sounded good! I don't know, I dig the holidays and all but everyone around me is just fighting to get by and it makes it hard to believe in all of this holiday hoopla.

So To work on my Holiday Spirit I WILL Write out the lyrics here hoping they somehow put me in a trace to warm up to the joy Christmas can give if I'm open to it. It's like a hypnotist if you can just relax and focus, remain open they can put you in a trance! I'm hoping the lyrics to this song or maybe the video can do the same for me because it's 14 days or so till Christmas and I'm damn Cranky! If you want to correct me on how many days it really is till Christmas do so in our forums!

Because I have no idea what The Hall of fame Singer Songwriter is saying I included lyrics below!

TOM Is the Most underrated Songwriter In the world so we Have Nothing but mad love for his talent and we wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope this series has helped you get into the holiday spirit!

THE FAMOUS - TOM WAITS - CHRISTMAS SONG FROM A HOOKER in Minneapolis!

hey Charley I'm pregnant

and living on 9-th street

right above a dirty bookstore

off cuclid avenue

and I stopped taking dope

and I quit drinking whiskey

and my old man plays the trombone

and works out at the track.

and he says that he loves me

even though its not his baby

and he says that he'll raise him up

like he would his own son

and he gave me a ring

that was worn by his mother

and he takes me out dancin

every saturday nite.

and hey Charley I think about you

everytime I pass a fillin' station

on account of all the grease

you used to wear in your hair

and I still have that record

of little anthony & the imperials

but someone stole my record player

how do you like that?

hey Charley I almost went crazy

after mario got busted

so I went back to omaha to

live with my folks

but everyone I used to know

was either dead or in prison

so I came back in minneapolis

this time I think I'm gonna stay.

hey Charley I think I'm happy

for the first time since my accident

and I wish I had all the money

that we used to spend on dope

I'd buy me a used car lot

and I wouldn't sell any of em

I'd just drive a different car

every day dependin on how

I feel.

hey Charley

for chrissakes

do you want to know

the truth of it?

I don't have a husband

he don't play the trombone

and I need to borrow money

to pay this lawyer

and Charley, hey

I'll be eligible for parole

come valentines day.
