(Tom Waits)
I have come 500 miles just to see a halo
Come from St. Petersburg, Scarlett and me
Well I open my eyes, I was blind as can be
When you give a man luck, he must fall in the sea
And she wants you to steal and get caught
For she loves you for all that you are not
When you're falling down, falling down
When you're falling down, falling down, falling down
You forget all the roses, don't come around on Sunday
She's not gonna choose you for standing so tall
Go on and take a swig of that poison and like it
And don't ask for silverware, don't ask for nothing
Go on and put your ear to the ground
You know you will be hearing that sound......falling down.
You're falling down, falling down
Falling down, Falling down, falling down
When you're falling down, falling down, falling down
Go on down and see that wrecking ball come swinging on along
Everyone knew that hotel was a goner
They broke all the windows, they took all the door knobs
And they hauled it away in a couple of days
Now someone yell timber and take off your hat
It's a lot smaller down here on the ground
You're falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Someone's falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Tom Waits (nato Thomas Alan Waits il 7 dicembre 1949) è un cantautore, musicista e attore statunitense considerato uno dei più influenti artisti del panorama musicale contemporaneo. Conosciuto per la sua voce roca e inimitabile, le sue performance teatrali e le sue canzoni caratterizzate da atmosfere dark e surreali, Waits ha attraversato diverse fasi musicali, dal blues al jazz, passando per il rock sperimentale e l'avant-garde.

Nel corso degli anni '70 e '80 raggiunge un successo crescente grazie a album come "Closing Time" (1973), "Heartattack and Vine" (1981) e "Rain Dogs" (1985).

Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi ricordiamo "Tom Traubert's Blues", "I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love with You", "Hold On" e "Martha”.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
