Tom Waits - “Fumblin’ With The Blues“

Listen to the full album: “Fumblin’ With The Blues“ by Tom Waits from the album ’The Heart Of Saturday Night’ Lyrics Friday left me fumbling with the blues And it’s hard to win when you always lose Because the nightspots spend your spirit Beat your head against the wall Two dead ends and you’ve still got to choose You know the bartenders they all know my name And they catch me when I’m pulling up lame And I’m a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head When I should be living clean instead You know the ladies I’ve been seeing off and on Well they spend your love and then they’re gone You can’t be lovin’ someone who is savage and cruel Take your love and then they leave on out of town, no they do Well now falling in love is such a breeze But its standing up that’s so hard for me I wanna squeeze you but I’m scared to death I’d break your back You
