Hurrah for blues and filler posts!

Tom Waits - Warm Beer and Cold Women

Warm beer and cold women, I just don't fit in
Every joint I stumbled into tonight
That's just how it's been
All these double knit strangers
With gin and vermouth
And recycled stories
In the naugahyde booths

With the platinum blondes
And tobacco brunettes
I'll be drinkin' to forget you
I light another cigarette
And the band's playin' something
By Tammy Wynette
And the drinks are on me tonight

All my conversations now
I'll just be talkin' about you baby
I'm borin' some sailor as I try to get through
I just want him to listen now
Said that's all you have to do
He said I'm better off without you
Til I showed him my tattoo

Now the moon's rising
Ain't got no time to lose
Time to get down to drinking
Tell the band to play the blues
Drink's are on me, I'll buy another round
At the last ditch attempt saloon

Warm beer and cold women, oh I just don't fit in
Every joint I stumbled into tonight
That's just how it's been
All these double knit strangers
With gin and vermouth
Receding hairlines
In the naugahyde booths

And the platinum blondes
Tobacco brunettes
I'll be drinking to forget you baby
I light a menthol cigarette
And the band's playing somethin'
By Johnnie Barnett
And the drinks are on me tonight

So yea, still could use some help.
