Thomas Alan "Tom" Waits (born December 7, 1949) is an American singer-songwriter, composer, and actor. Waits has a distinctive voice, described by critic Daniel Durchholz as sounding "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car." With this trademark growl, his incorporation of pre-rock music styles such as blues, jazz, and vaudeville, and experimental tendencies verging on industrial music, Waits has built up a distinctive musical persona. He has worked as a composer for movies and musical plays and has acted in supporting roles in films including Paradise Alley and Bram Stoker's Dracula; he also starred in the 1986 film Down by Law. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his soundtrack work on One from the Heart.
Lyrically, Waits' songs frequently present atmospheric portrayals of grotesque, often seedy characters and places—although he has also shown a penchant for more conventional ballads. He has a cult following and has influenced subsequent songwriters despite having little radio or music video support. His songs are best-known through cover versions by more commercial artists: "Jersey Girl", performed by Bruce Springsteen, "Ol' '55", performed by the Eagles, and "Downtown Train", performed by Rod Stewart. Although Waits' albums have met with mixed commercial success in his native United States, they have occasionally achieved gold album sales status in other countries. He has been nominated for a number of major music awards and has won Grammy Awards for two albums, Bone Machine and Mule Variations. In 2011, Waits was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
When I walk through town now
I feel like a clown now
Having fun
But my heart is dying
And my soul is crying
Life is done
On the surface, I come across
Like a happy go lucky man
No one knows how I feel inside
No one knows all the tears I hide
No one knows that the days are
Dragging me down, down, down
Friends keep asking wether
We still come together
I say yes (I say yes)
How I wish that I knew
Where to look to find you
I'd be there (I'd be there)
All that's green has become alive
Without you, I want to die
(I want to die)
Someday, someone's bound
To see through me
Discover I'm just a clown
Believing that you still love me
When you're no longer around
How I feel inside
All the tears I hide
How I feel inside
We get some rules to follow
That and this
These and those
No one knows
We get these pills to swallow
How they stick
In your throat
Tastes like gold
Oh, what you do to me
No one knows
And I realize you’re mine
Indeed a fool am I
And I realize you’re mine
Indeed a fool am I
I journey through the desert
Of the mind
With no hope
I found low
I drift along the ocean
Dead lifeboats in the sun
And come undone
Pleasently caving in
I come undone
And I realize you’re mine
Indeed a fool am I
And I realize you’re mine
Indeed a fool am I
Ahhh
Heaven smiles above me
What a gift there below
But no one knows
A gift that you give to me
We get some rules to follow
that and this, these and those
no one know
We get these pills to swallow
how they stick in your throat
tastes like gold
Oh, what you do to me
no one knows
And I realize you're mine
indeed a fool am I
and I realize you're mine
indeed a fool am I
I journey through the destert
of the mind with no hope
i found low
I drift along the ocean
dead lifeboats in the sun
and come undone
Pleasantly caving in
I come undone
And I realize you're mine
indeed a fool am I
and I realize you're mine
indeed a fool am I
Heaven smiles above me
what a gift here below
but no one knows
A gift that you give to me
WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR
Glenn Miller
- words by Ned Washington, music by Leigh Harline
- from the 1940 animated feature "Pinocchio"
- performed by Cliff Edwards (Jiminy Cricket)
When a star is born
They possess a gift or two
One of them is this
They have the power to make a wish come true
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star as dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
NA-Na Na aayyyyy
One day it's gonna be over
I can see the end of the tunnel, it's getting closer
I remember being seven and feeling like I was older
Seeing things I shouldn't have and I quickly became a grown up
All we wanted was money but we never seem to get it
One minute remaining there was never any credit
Here we are ten years down the line, nothings changed
My aim was to put my mortgage down in my mother's name
Wher you're hoping and the only thing you're you looking forward is the giro that you're claiming and something called recession keeps messing with your brain
Will I live to see this song coz here it's always **** raining
When you're hoping and you're dreaming
And you can't feel what you're feeling and you can't give
Cause you're hurting and it seems like nothing's working
No one knows your name
No-no knows your name
Can't keep fighting, something has to change
Don't need a helping hand
See no one understands
Howeber this ends hand in hand we'll remain
I remain strong always
Do only change I ever see is death
Strain and more pain
We can't get no jobs regardless of trying all day
Make sure you keep going 'till everyone knows your name
To all the single baby mothers it's gonna be alright
To all the mandem who be hustling every night
When the revolution comes-I'm gonna be dressed up as a soldier
I put my armour on and I won't speak until it's over
Let me show ya
When you're hoping
And the only thing you're looking forward to is for someone to start blaming
Cause what they tell us on the news is highly entertaining
Will I live to see this sun cause here it's always ***** raining
When you're hoping and you're dreaming
And you can't feel what you're feeling and you can't give
Cause you're hurting and it seems like nothing's working
No one knows your name your name
No-no knows your name your name
Can't keep fighting
Something has to change
Don't need a helping hand
See no one understands
However this ends hand in hand we'll remain
This is more than a dream
Though it's further than we see
I know we'll get there
If I slow down, I will get weak
If I can't stand, then I can't reach
Everything we need is closer than it seems
If I slow down, I will get weak
If I can't stand, then I can't reach
Everything we need is closer than it seems
No one knows your name
No-no knows your name
Can't keep fighting
Something has to change
Don't need a helping hand
See no one understands

She grew up across the hall, with a bear lying on her bed
and Elton John up on the wall.
She followed him everywhere from Nursery school to Harvard Square.
They were born a year apart. They knew each other's souls by heart.
No one knows. No one knows.
We try hard to be discreet. Some things are trouble to disclose.
It keeps us on our toes. And no one knows.
She was popular in school. She was friends with all the boys
but there was only one voice that could wash away her blues.
She read him her poetry and pages from her diary.
He would long for her to stay. But she would blush and turn away.
No one knows. No one knows.
We try hard to be discreet. Some things are trouble to disclose.
It keeps us on our toes. And no one knows.
He came home one afternoon. She was lying on his bed watching TV in his room.
She saw him standing there. She had no fear. She didn't care.
They spoke each other's name. The room burst out in flame.
No one knows. No one knows.
We try hard to be discreet. Some things are trouble to disclose.
It keeps us on our toes. And no one knows.
Lie alone in an empty bedroom
You were young so long ago
Lost the purple heart they gave you
Why did it mean so much before?
Crawled from the remains of war
Soon the world will care no more
They've never been through living hell
"Just an old man with a story to tell"
[Chorus]
NO ONE KNOWS
NO ONE CARES
NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU NO MORE
Strung along on a soldier's pension
And you've survived so many friends
Fought for God and Country,
Only to be forgotten in the end
Crawled from the remains of war
Soon the world will care no more
They've never been through living hell
"Just an old man with a story to tell"
[Chorus]
And with each new generation
Another story ceases to be told
What about the new generations?
Will anybody know?
Someday you'll be forgotten
Just a chapter in the history books
And they'll see a thousand crucifixes
In the windy city, yeah she keep it pretty
With such a clean nose
That what really blows is the way you glow to the one
really oughta know
No one knows, no, no, no
No no, no, no,
I never known someone to pay themselves to... corners
And walk out of the room
I guess I should have known by the way he's strolled with
white...
On the ... of his shoes, you made a mess, didn't you
No one knows, no, no, no
No no, no, no,
This ... is in the ... from weather
Magical ... you out
Just remember that you hear a ...
...castles and fell, oh
No one knows, no, no, no
These visions in my head
The friendly faces
I don't know maybe it's me
It feels like they're in my mind
And feasting of my brain
Uuuh don't you feel the same?
No one knows what I know when I know that I'm done
No one knows what I know when I know that I'm done
I'm trapped in my DNA
No time to waste
Spies are in my closet and under my bed
I'm losing this scary game
Crack me like the whip
Please crack me sane
No one knows what I know when I know that I'm done
No one knows what I know when I know that I'm done
No one knows what I know when I know that I'm done
It's been one of those days when the sky falls down
And the world around me comes crumbling down
I'm picking up the pieces of the life that she left behind
I've got a million of her lies swimming in my head
And a million reasons why I wish we never met
Cause everyone believed our love was true
And didn't see the pain that I went through
No one knows
She crushed my heart; she broke it with a hammer
No one knows
All the things I've done to try to understand her
No one knows
I've died a thousand deaths ever since she left me there
Yeah she left me there
'Cause she didn't care
I've been stuck here in my room going crazy by myself
And I'm setting fire to your pictures on the shelf
I know I should have thrown them all out a long time ago
Well I've never been a man that lives with regret
I forget to live and I live to forget
How everyone believed our love was true
And didn't see the pain that I went through
No one knows
She crushed my heart; she broke it with a hammer
No one knows
All the things I've done to try to understand her
No one knows
I've died a thousand deaths ever since she left me there
Everybody thought that we were doing fine
But deep inside we were doing time
And in the end she ran off with my soul
Sometimes it's hard to say good-bye
I gave her everything; she took my pride
And now I don't know where I'm gonna go
No one knows
Crush my heart; she broke it with a hammer
No one knows
All the things I've done to try to understand her
No one knows
just yesterday the other day
i was talkin to the weatherman about today ooh ooh ooh
and all he could say was no one knows tommorow
see i could read the waether change
i could predict sunshine ooh ooh ooh
but thats as far as my guess goes
cuz no one knows tomorow o o aaaa
no one knows tomorowww
tomoro is your opportunity to fail or be successful if u please
yes indeed
tomoro is politician today
we the victims of decisions
Everybody goes jumpin' down
and ma' head it goes round, round, round.
And ma' body goes jumpin' down
and ma' head it goes round, round, round.
I'll tell you what you know
your thinkin of the drugs
you want to take another pill, and because one cares
you listen, and figures appear in night
you'll come to feel it if you give it some time, time, and you'll
It's gotten to the drop
dropping to the level dont you feel a thing twice
when you come to feel the beat a moving, it's all right
you feel the rest and here's a genuine night
And it's what I say
I dont hear it right
When your here my night
It comes down today
I hear it but no one knows, I gotta turn it up and let it go
And no body knows
Everybody wants a piece of my time,
They always ask dumb questions, and drink my cheap red
wine
I get so tired I want to run and hide, and scream into my
pillow
Oh dear Lord, if you could see me now
How will I know when I find
Love in my heart, peace in my mind?
The sun, it always shine in angel town
It burns into the back of my neck, and I am going down
I want to be strong but I feel so weak, I'm weeping like
a willow
Oh my my, if you could see my now
How will I know when I find
Love in my heart, peace in my mind?
I planted the vine now it hope it grows
I'm asking for signs but no one knows
Why are we here in this space and time
With only love and fear, I'm not sure which is mine
This is just a song, and this is how it goes
And as far as I can tell, no one knows
How will I know when I find
Why should my fun have to end?
For me it's only the beginning
I see my friends begin to age
A short countdown to their end
Well, call me irresponsible
Well, call me habitual
But when you think of me
Do you fill your head with schemes?
Better think again 'cause no one knows
I don't want to cause no harm
But sometimes my actions hurt
Is there something I should find
To make plans for forever
Well, call me irresponsible
Well, call me habitual
But when you think of me
Do you fill your head with schemes?
You better think again 'cause no one knows
Call me irresponsible
Call me habitual
Does it seem like all your memories fade?
(But when you think of me)
You soak up knowledge to fill the space
(Do you fill your head with schemes?)
And still my answer remains, I don't know
(Better think again 'cause no one knows)
Don't turn away you haven't yet awakened
Why don't you stay? Remember what you said
Ten thousand miles and everyone's mistaken
Look where you've been where every woman's wasted
All the while you've been sleeping
Drifting on a wind never blown
Tomorrow you'll wake up aching
Wondering how when no one really knows
Don't speak a word of all that you've been saving
If there isn't time then you should let it go
Into the fire and bring back all you've taken
Once more alone you'll never let it show
All the while you've been sleeping
Drifting on a wind never blown
Tomorrow you'll wake up aching
Wondering how when no one really knows
Now what've I done wrong?
Why don't you tell me what've I done wrong?
Baby tell me oh what I've done wrong?
I've to tell me, oh tell me, tell me what I've
Don't walk away you haven't yet awakened
Why don't you stay? Remember what you said
Ten thousand miles and everyone's mistaken
Look where you've been where every woman's wasted
All the while you've been sleeping
Drifting on a wind never blown
Tomorrow you'll wake up aching
Wondering how when no one really knows
Now what've I done wrong?
Can't you tell me what've I done wrong?
Baby tell me what've I done wrong?
Oh tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me now
We get some rules to follow
That and this
These and those
No one knows
We get these pills to swallow
How they stick
In your throat
Tastes like gold
Oh, what you do to me
No one knows
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool of mine
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool of mine
I journey through the desert
Of the mind
With no hope
I found low
I drift along the ocean
Dead lifeboats in the sun
And come undone
Pleasently caving in
I come undone
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool of mine
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool and mine
Ahhh
Heaven smiles above me
What a gift there below
But no one knows
A gift that you give to me
Both ends burning...inside circles turning...burnt
hands are yearning
For more learning...so don't they move...away from the
fire...
So you turn back from the place of desire
Smash it - to break the rules
Do it - to seize your day
Stop it - stop the mess
Kill - the insane
No one knows the pain you feel
No one knows the screams you steal
To try to stop the curse of history
No one knows the dreams you dream
No one knows the sleep you sleep
To try to stop the march of tragedy
Yes, time passes by...as life is a lifetime dare
As life is confusing...you can tell me the truth
Smash it - to break the rules
Do it - to seize your day
Stop it - stop the mess
Kill - the insane
No one knows the pain you feel
No one knows the screams you steal
To try to stop the curse of history
No one knows the dreams you dream
No one knows the sleep you sleep
To try to stop the march of tragedy
Both ends burning...inside circles turning...burnt
hands are yearning
For more learning...so don't they move...away from the
fire...
So you turn back from the place of desire
Yes, time passes by...as life is a lifetime dare
As life is confusing...you can tell me the truth
To break the rules
Do it - to seize your day
Stop it - stop the mess
Kill - the insane
Smash it - to break the rules
Do it - to seize your day
Stop it - stop the mess
Kill - the insane
No one knows the pain you feel
No one knows the screams you steal
To try to stop the curse of history
No one knows the dreams you dream
No one knows the sleep you sleep
To try to stop the march of tragedy
No one knows what I go through
And the tears I cried for you
And when I smile, it's just a pose
My heart is breaking but no one knows
Friends won't learn the truth from me
I don't want their sympathy
You go to parties, dances and shows
I still love you but no one knows
Maybe some how, some time, some where
You'll walk by and hear my prayer
My loneliness will fade away
Darling please tell me you'll stay
But if you should pass me by
I'll be hurt but I won't cry
And though my love for you still grows
