Cemetery Polka - Tom Waits
Uncle Violet
Flew as a pilot
And there ain’t no pretty
Girls in France
Now he runs a
Tidy little
Bookie joint
They say he never
Keeps it in his pants
Uncle Bill will
Never leave a will
And the tumor is as Big as an egg
He has a mistress
She’s Puerto Rican
And I heard she has a wooden leg.
It seems like you all wants me to download all of them. But that’s okay, since I was probably going to do that anyways.
For the record, I’m starting with Blood Money, since Rain Dog didn’t turn up a result without being a part of a massive discography that had a lot of corrupted files.

When David heard that Absalom was slain
He went up into his chamber over the gate and wept, and thus he said: my son, my son, O Absalom my son, would God I had died for thee!
If you want to hear the most beautiful song ever, this would be that song. The “my son” buildup is the most heartbreakingly amazing piece of music.
(Choir geeks take note; this song has an 18 part harmony)

Dan Mangan - Robots
Waking young and feeling old
The days are no longer my own,
To piss away the waking hours
I saw this man live on Canada Day. He only performed this song, because the way they had the show was weird, but this was one of the best performances of the entire day.

Thistle & Weeds by Mumford and Sons
I can’t get over how incredibly amazing it is. George Gershwin was a musical genius, and I wish I could thank him personally for writing one of the most amazing musical pieces I’ve ever heard.
Johnny Cash - If You Could Read My Mind (Gordon Lightfoot cover).
You take one of my favourite songs, and put it together with the soul of Johnny Cash, and you get beauty.
Whatever song it is, Johnny Cash adds an entirely new layer of emotion to it. What I love about his voice is the sadness that leaks through it. There’s no voice on the planet that can achieve the same sound.

Won’t you shake the poor sinner’s hand?
