Mr. trane mr. da kjører jeg hellerNIGHTHAWKS at the diner. Thank you very much. Mye bedre. Dessuten begynner den nå.
For den som gidder:
Well, an inebriated good evening to you all. Welcome to Rapheal's Silver Cloud Lounge. Slip me a little crimson Jimson, give me the low down Brown, I want some scoop Betty Boop. I'm on my way into town.
Course I'd rather...want to thank you all for opening the program for us. I'm so God damn horny that the crack of dawn better be careful around me.
Yeah, I wanna pull on your coat about something here tonight. Yeah, a little news I'd like to throw your direction. See I...I used to know a girl, yeah and it was a hubber hubber and ding ding ding. I said 'Baby, you got everything.' A week later it was a hubber hubber and ding ding dong, baby it sure didn't last too long.
I know things are tough all over, ain't getting any better. I was moved, kind of swivel a little bit of a kind of an emotional weather forcast for you this evening. What I'm talking about is...well you know I've been playing night clubs and staying out all night long, come a home late, gone for three months, come back and everything in the refrigerator turns into a science project. So you get designs on a waitress you know. She got three or four kids, she's sorting out her cheques and she's counting out her change, you say 'Hey baby, heat me up a bearclaw on the radar range'. Well and then it gets real cold.

Emotional Weather Report
(Tom Waits 1975)
What we're talking about is late night and early morning low clouds
With a chance of fog, chance of showers into the afternoon
With variable high cloudiness and gusty winds
Gusty winds at times around the corner of Sunset and Alvorado
Yeah I know, things are tough all over
When the thunder storms start increasing over the southeast
and south central portions of my apartment, I get upset
And a line of thunderstorms was developing in the early morning hours
Ahead of a slow moving coldfront, cold blooded
With, with tornado watches issued shortly before noon Sunday
For the areas including the western region of my mental health
And the northern portions of my ability to deal rationally
With my disconcerted precarious emotional situation
It's cold out there
Colder than a ticket taker's smile at the Ivar Theatre on a Saturday night
Flash flood watches covered the southern portion of my disposition, yeah
There was no severe weather well into the afternoon
Except for a kind of a lone gust of wind in the bedroom
High pressure zone, covering the eastern portion of a small suburban community
With a 1034 millibar high pressure zone and a weak pressure ridge
Extending from my eyes down to my cheeks
Since you left me baby and put the vice grips on my mental health
Well the extended outlook for an indefinite period of time
Until you come back to me baby
Is high tonight, low tomorrow, and precipitation is expected
That wraps up the weather for this evening
As long as you see you're missing the essential.
For the neon-swizzlesticks.
