"bangin' on a table with an old tin cup,
I say I never kiss a gun street girl again,
never kiss a gun street girl again..."
my rather minimalistic instrumental of 'gun street girl'by tom waits...i took the oakland 96 live performance as a basis for my interpretation, not the well known studio recording...
cheers, Pascal

so what do we have here?
2 ukes,a bassline, some bony percussion and - world premiere - some crappy vocals! ;-)
I had this nice basic track and didn't know what else to do with it, so I thought 'what the hell, why not give it a try...'!
I suggest to play it LOUD.

Little Drop Of Poison - Tom Waits
"I like my town with a little drop of poison
Nobody knows, they're lining up to go insane
I'm all alone, I smoked my friends down to the filter
But I feel much cleaner after the rain..."
Not a very accurate cover version, but I like it somehow...
