The Piano. 1993.

"Ada... Ada... I am unhappy. 'Cause I want you. 'Cause my mind is seized on you and can think of nothing else. This is why I suffer. I am sick with longing. I don't eat, I don't sleep. So, if you have come with no feeling for me, then go. Go. Go. Get out. Leave!"

Cool face of the river

Asked me for a kiss.

“Beazer came over at about 2 am, he said: “I am on a date, and she is only 17

and I've got to get her back to Pasadena, and all I've got left in the car is reverse”.

I said: “how can I help?”. He said: “I need gas money”. So he sold me a couple of jokes.

"He said: “You can have these jokes, you don’t even need to tell folks that they are mine

because you've paid for them for God’s sake”, and I said: “That sounds like a good deal to me”.

Anyway, he drove home in reverse on the Pasadena freeway in the slow lane;

... it was a ´55 Caddy”.

Historia de "OL 55". Concierto VH1 Storytellers,1999. Tom Waits.

Well my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splitly out to my old '55
As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy,
God knows I was feeling alive.

Now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade,
And I lead the parade

Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, Lord, let me tell you
That the feeling's getting stronger.

And it's six in the morning,
Gave me no warning; I had to be on my way.
Well there's trucks all a-passing me,
And the lights are all a-flashing,
I'm on my way home from your place.

And now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade,
And I lead the parade

Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, Lord, let me tell you
That the feeling's getting stronger.

And my time went so quickly,
I went lickety-splitly out to my old '55
As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy,
God knows, I was feeling alive.

Now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks,
Freeway cars and trucks,
Freeway cars and trucks...
