Tom Waits

(tom waits for marianne faithful)
Will you take me across the channel,
London bridge is falling down.
Strange a woman tries to save
What a man will try to drown.
And hes the rain that they predicted,
Its the forecast every time.
The rose has died because you picked it
And I believe that brandys mine.
And all over the world
Strangers
Talk only about the weather.
All over the world
Its the same
Its the same
Its the same.
The world is getting flatter,
The sky is falling all around.
And nothing is the matter
