Stockhouse 2015-04-10John Wood Campbell, Jr. (June 8, 1910 – July 11, 1971) was an influential figure in American science fiction. As editor of Astounding Science Fiction (later called Analog Science Fiction and Fact), from late 1937 until his death, he is generally credited with shaping the so-called Golden Age of Science Fiction.
Isaac Asimov called Campbell "the most powerful force in science fiction ever, and for the first ten years of his editorship he dominated the field completely."
As a writer, Campbell published super-science space opera under his own name and moody, less pulpish stories as Don A. Stuart. He stopped writing fiction after he became editor of Astounding.
Campbell was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1910. His father was a cold, impersonal, and unaffectionate electrical engineer. His mother, Dorothy (née Strahern) was warm but changeable of character and had an identical twin who visited them often and who disliked young John. John was unable to tell them apart and was frequently coldly rebuffed by the person he took to be his mother.
I left the station walking. You know the time of night
The buses don’t run through the outskirts of paradise
I heard a gunshot. I saw a razor flash.
If you don’t open your eyes this breath could be your
last.
There’s a whole world of trouble, babe,
What’s this hatred for?
I don’t go near the alley. There’s hungry wolves in
there.
I can hear their stomachs growling from frustration and
despair.
Siren screams in the distance, another dirty deals gone
down.
Just an ordinary night on the wrong side of town.
I feel a cold wind blowing. It chills me to the bone.
My heart is hanging heavy for those folks here with no
home.
I walk up my steps, turn the lock once more.
Shake my head and wonder
Down in the Hole (Tom Waits) 4:53
When you walk through the garden
You gotta watch your back
I beg your pardon
Walk the straight and narrow path
Now if you walk with Jesus
He’s gonna save your soul
You got to keep the Devil
Way down in the hole
He’s got the fire and the fury
At his command
You don’t have to worry
When your holding Jesus’ hand
We’ll all be safe from Satan
When the thunder rolls
You got to keep the Devil
Way down in the hole
All the Angels sing
‘Bout Jesus’ mighty sword
They shield you with their wings
Keep you close to the Lord
Don’t heed to temptation
For his hands are so cold
You got to help me keep the Devil
Way down in the hold
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
You got to help me keep the Devil
Down in the hole
Help me keep the Devil
Way down in the hole
Help me!
Help me!
v You have to help me
You got to help me
Ah, help me keep the Devil
Down in the hole
Help me keep the Devil
When that angel of sorrow steps up to my bedside,
And pulls the ribbon of darkness slowly ‘cross my eyes,
Give me one last breath to tell my baby goodbye.
As that last clap of thunder grows faint and starts to
die,
And those six black stallions come silent in the night,
Give me one last breath to tell my baby goodbye.
Dear Lord above,
I know you hear me up there.
I know it’s late in life for my very first prayer.
I ain’t here to ask for mercy for my own tormented
soul,
Heaven or hell, Lord, I’m set to go… just
give me one last breath
to tell my baby goodbye.
I kneel down Lord,
But I won’t hang my head in shame.
Right and wrong, in St. Peters book my scores about the
same.
I ain’t here to ask for penance,
I won’t change my ways,
I’ll take my chances come judgment day… just
give me one last breath
to tell my baby goodbye.
When I reach that misty river and times no longer on my
side,
I’ll set one foot on board and that oar man’s set to
ride,
One last breath,
When the moon is shinin’
You know I need to howl
Ain't come midnight
I’m gonna start my prowl
When that hunger builds
And I get that appetite
I just can’t help myself, baby
I’m off into the night
Like a wolf
Among the lambs
Like a wolf
Among the lambs
I’ll be howlin’ baby
I’ll be your man
Dark skies just turnin’
Midnight blue to gray
I’m gonna step in the shadow
Let ‘em carry me away
But when the day is over
And darkness starts to fall
Once you hear me howlin baby
I’m coming to call
Like a wolf
Among the lambs
Like a wolf
Among the lambs
You’re gonna hear me howlin’ baby
Death, the sun, and the taxman
Dog me everyday
The high, the low, the narrow road
Ain’t found no heaven no
Ain’t got much I can count on
My faith is mostly bluff
But in my darkest hour, babe
I still believe in us
Well, most people walk through the world all alone
But, me and you baby
Written in stone
The snake, the shark, and the vulture
By land, sea, and air
The faint of heart might freeze, babe
Like a wolf trapped in his lair
But, I don’t fear no evil
No black can cause me to fuss
Through my trials and tribulations
The sun shines – there's still us
Well, most people walk through the world all alone
But, you and me baby
Written in stone
It’s written in stone
Ah, it’s in stone baby
The cards, the bones, and the bible
I read ‘em when I can
But, life is like the desert baby
When the hot wind hits the sand
But me and you got the magic
Come through my mojo hand
And no wind can blow us under
What the high doctor planned
Most people walk through the world all alone
But, me and you baby
Written in stone
It’s written in stone
I told the hobos
Down at the train yard
I wasn’t ridin
No more rails
I called up
All of my buddies
And said my main loft
Was for sale
Look
What love can do
Look
What love can do
I paid off
My tab at Big Rita’s
And I kissed
All the girls goodbye
Well I tossed
My black book to a stranger
And not a single
Tear fell from my eye
Look
What love can do
Look
What love can do
I finally got a mailing address
A telephone you can call
Throw my pants into the same corner
A picture of me on the wall
Well I
I gave up my double dealin
And I ain’t carryin’
My loaded dice
Well I quit
All my rumblin
Now I only
Tote one big knife
Look
What love can do
Look
What love can do
Got Wiseblood Baby
I can see through your lies
I'm the minister of no mercy
It won't help to cry
You blasphemed in the church of no religion
You told a great big lie
Got Wiseblood Baby
The old evil eye
Ain't no salvation
Ain't nobody bein saved
The confessionals are empty
When the faithful come to pray
Ain't no kind of mournin'
No price you can pay
Nobody's lightin' candles
The darkness rules the day
Ain't no use comin back
On your bended knee
The truth is still the truth baby
Got Wiseblood
Got Wiseblood
Ain't no use comin back
On your bended knee
The truth is still the truth baby
Got Wiseblood
Got Wiseblood
Well the blind still can't see
And the dumb still cant talk
The lame are still crippled
And they can't walk
Now you've got wiseblood
You can't turn away
You can't wash it off
Wisebloods there to stay
Got Wiseblood
Got Wiseblood
Got Wiseblood
Got Wiseblood Baby
On a blue highway with the moon coming down,
I saw a girl layin’ some hoodoo down.
A Creole woman with a bag of tricks,
v Wearin’ a cobra snake dress shakin some mojo sticks.
She rode me thirteen floors,
Shimmied right to the ledge,
She had the voodoo edge.
I was cruisin’ for a bruisin’ I knew what was at stake,
From the notches on her stockings from the hearts she
did break.
It hurt to touch her but I wanted her just the same,
She did the rattlesnake shake it drove me insane.
She rode me thirteen floors,
Shimmied right to the ledge,
She had the voodoo edge.
Five bolts of lightnin’ and a hurricane,
The sky filled with fire and rain.
She coiled around me like the queen of the snakes,
Squeezed me ‘til I thought my spine would break.
She rode me thirteen floors,
Shimmied right to the ledge,
Down in the Hole (Tom Waits) 4:53

I got the Devil in my closet,
And the wolf is at my door.
I got the Devil in my closet,
And the wolf is at my door.
What’s a man to do
When he can’t trust his woman no more?
She says she did no wrong,
And seeing him was no big thing.
She says she did no wrong,
And seeing him was no big thing.
She ain’t admitting nothing,
But I believe she spread her wings.
I touched her last night
and she rolled over in her sleep.
I pulled her close
and softly kissed her cheek.
But she whispered his name
as she pressed her chest to me.
I got the Devil in my closet,
And the Wolf is at my door.
To my pride, it’s very simple,
I’ll just pack and walk right out.
To my pride, it’s very simple,
I’ll just pack and walk right out.
But my heart begs me to stay
My Baby’s got a wild streak,
She loves a midnight ride.
My Baby’s got a wild streak,
She loves a midnight ride.
She likes to cruise the city,
On the back street nasty side.
The moon’s peepin up on the east side,
My baby’s stepping into her gown,
It’s short at the top and the bottom,
It’s magic when she stoops down.
She ain’t afraid of no alley,
She’s too cool to be scared,
Streetlight shines off her earrings,
She got a razor hid up in her hair.
Park my Harley on a side street,
Wait for her in the dark,
When she turns the corner struttin’,
Well, if it keeps on raining
Levee’s going to break
If it keeps on raining
Levee’s going to break
And when the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
There won’t be no place to stay
Mean old levee
Taught me to weep and moan
Mean old levee
Taught me to weep and moan
When the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
Make a mountain man leave his home
All last night
Sat on the levee and cried
All last night
Sat on the levee and cried
When the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
There won’t be no place to hide
When the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
When the levee breaks
There won’t be no place to …
I’m going down
I’m going down
I’m going down
I’m going down
I’m going down
I’m going down
I’m going down, going down, going down, going down
I’m going down now
I’m going down now
I’m going down
The winter trees stand naked. It’s almost dark.
One may walks slowly, alone in the park.
His mind is full of visions only he can see,
And Lord, Lord, Lord, he sure looks a lot like me.
One Believer
That’s all he’s praying for.
One Believer
To open just one door.
He goes down by the lake. It’s solid ice.
Pigeons gather round, he throws them some rice.
He’s got a picture running technicolor through his mind.
He sees his name in lights and damned if it ain’t the
same as mine.
He goes back to his room. He writes a bit.
He’s sure as always, this one will be a hit.
He switches of the lamp so his loneliness won’t show,
And that prayer inside his head, that’s one I know.
One Believer
That’s all he’s praying for.
One Believer
Love stay away
From my door
I don’t want you comin round here
Anymore
I don’t want the heartache
Or the pain
Don’t wanna hear the tears that fall
That do
When people mention
Love’s name
I never trusted
Happiness
I always just lost a friend
And made a mess
I don’t want the heartache
Or the pain
Don’t wanna hear the tears that fall
v That will
When people mention
Love’s name
Don’t mention Love’s name
It don’t play by the rules
Love is a wicked woman’s tool
Don’t come in my house
Those words ain’t welcome here
Well, I won’t be nobody’s fool
Love stay away
From my door
I don’t want you comin round here
Anymore
I don’t want the heartache
I don’t want the pain
Don’t wanna hear the tears that fall
That do
When people mention
I taught the hellhound to sit
Cheatin Satan playing cards
I taught the hellhound to sit
Cheatin Satan playing cards
I pulled a knife on the devil
When he damned my heart
Well, I tease the kitchen cobras
I dare them to bite
Well the lunge – they hiss
But, the serpent thinks twice
One look at my eyes
He recoils in fright
Rough and tumble stitches and scars
Whenever I rumble it’s no holds barred
And I ain’t
Afraid of midnight
Well, I ain’t afraid of midnight
I’ll dance in that graveyard
Well, bring on that hooded bugler
He can sound his taps for me
Bring on the that hooded bugler
He can sound his taps for me
But, when the reaper comes
He best be packin heat
Rough and tumble stitches and scars
Whenever I rumble it’s no holds barred
And I ain’t
Afraid of midnight
Well, I ain’t afraid of midnight
I’ll dance in that graveyard
And I ain’t
Afraid of midnight
No, I ain’t
Afraid of midnight
I ain’t afraid baby
I don’t see … no midnight
Drove into town
In a Cadillac
1300 miles
Watching my back
I saw two rabid dogs
Fighting in the street
They’s as mean as the woman
I came to meet
My body’s aching
My mind ain’t right
I know she’s out there
In the night
And she’s waiting on me
She’s a Pistol with a trigger happy mind
And I’m her target
On the Firin’ Line
The Firin’ Line
I talked to a priest
With a chiseled tooth
He told me, Boy
You best be bullet proof
She’s a daughter of the coyote clan
And the rumor has it
You’re a dead meat man
If you had sense
You’d turn and run
Well, she’s on fire
And she’s got a gun
She’s got a gun
She’s a Pistol with a trigger happy mind
And I’m her target
On the Firin’ Line
The Firin’ Line
Well, I followed her tracks
To the river’s edge
Back to the spot
Where we made our bed
A Silver moon
A glint of steel
Her sweet payback
For my dirty deal
Lightnin swift
Black night air
Night of the huntress
And I’m trapped in her lair
In in her lair
She’s a Pistol with a trigger happy mind
v And I’m her target
On the Firin’ Line
It takes a tiny coffin for a six year old,
It takes a small hole in the ground.
It takes a tiny coffin for a six year old,
It takes a small hole in the ground.
You could fill it up with my tears and rage,
As they lowered Billy down.
Shotgun blast from a moving car,
It just don’t make no sense.
Shotgun blast from a moving car,
It just don’t make no sense.
They say they were aiming for someone else,
But they put Billy in the past tense.
I knelt by his mama as she weeped in pain.
I asked her what could I do?
I knelt by his mama as she weeped in pain.
I asked her what could I do?
She said, “Pray for me and the neighborhood,
And pray the next time it ain’t you.”
They piled in the Chevy – five angry young men,
It’s the law of the jungle for them.
They piled in the Chevy – five angry young men,
It’s the law of the jungle for them.
They know where to find the gunman,
I got the pedal to the metal,
And a suicide clutch
The hounds are howling,
And they’re catching up.
There’s a slow train rollin’ without a sound,
I know it’s coming to take me down.
You know sin’s a costly hunger,
I always ate my fill.
I been payin’ the fiddler
With counterfeit bills.
I see the smokestack lightnin’, crossroads bound,
I know it’s comin to take me down.
My engine’s screaming in fifth gear.
Breakneck speed, too fast to steer.
My lights are out, the moon is bright.
That train keeps comin’ off to my right
To take me down
It’s comin’ to take me down
Bugs hit the windshield, explode in red.
I cannot see the road ahead.
But it doesn’t matter where I cross the line,
That fiddler’s train is always right on time
To take me down
It’s time to saddle up my pony
I think it’s time to hitch my mare
It’s time to saddle up my pony
I think it’s time to hitch my mare
You know the woman I been lovin’
She’s out there – She’s in the world somewhere
And every time I see a woman
Lord, it sure does make me think of mine
Well, every time I see a woman
Lord, it sure does make me think of mine
It’s weighin’ heavy on my conscious
And lord, it’s weighin … my troubled mind
I think somebody man
Has tried to put a spell
Down on me
I think somebody man
Is tryin to throw some spell
Down on me
Same worries same trouble
You know its huntin and houndin me
And when it comes my time to die
Just lay me down by the highway side
And when it comes my time to die
Just lay me down by the highway side
So’s my wicked spirit
Can easily catch a greyhound bus
Don't send me no kind of letter,
I don't want you calling on the telephone,
Please don't send me no kind of letter baby,
I don't want you calling on the telephon.
I Want you person to person,
Get your fine self on back home.
Don't you bother telephoning,
I can't love no telephone.
The time you used for phoning,
YOu could have used that time comin' home.
I Want you person to person,
Get your fine self on back home.
Well I don't want no kind of letter,
I can't hold no paper tight
There ain't no kind of message
Gonna sit up and talk to me all night.
I Want you person to person,
Get your fine self on back home.
Ah, lemme make a call ...
I hear it ringing ...
Kind a sounds like station to station ...
I want person to person ...
Get me the connection
I want you person to person, baby,
