Tom Waits - New Year's Eve Lyrics
The door was open I was seething
Your mother burst in it was freezing
She said it looks like it’s trying to rain
I was lost I felt sea sick
You convinced me that he’d left
I scolded your driver and your brother
We are old enough to know how long you’ve been hooked
And we’ve all been through the war
And each time you score
Someone gets hauled and handcuffed and booked
It felt like four in the morning
What sounded like fire works
Turned out to be just what it was
The stars looked like diamonds
And everyone started to cuss
All the noise was disturbing
And I couldn’t find Irving
It was like two stations on at the same time
And then I hid your car keys
And I made black coffee
And I dumped out the rest of the rum
Nick and Socorro broke up
And Candice wouldn’t shut up
Fin he recorded the whole thing
Ray he said damn you
And someone broke my camera
And it was New Years
And we all started to sing
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne
I was leaving in the morning with Charles for Las Vegas
And I didn’t plan to come back
I had only a few things
Two hundred dollars
And my records in a brown paper sack
I ran out on Sheila
Everything’s in storage
Calvin’s right I should go back to driving truck
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne

Happy New Year everybody. a wish for a good year for all in 2018.
Can't explain how much I love this song. So beautiful so nostalgic
The door was open I was seething
Your mother burst in it was freezing
She said it looks like it’s trying to rain
I was lost I felt sea sick
You convinced me that he’d left
You said keep talking but don’t use any names
I scolded your driver and your brother
We are old enough to know how long you’ve been hooked
And we’ve all been through the war
And each time you score
Someone gets hauled and handcuffed and booked
It felt like four in the morning
What sounded like fire works
Turned out to be just what it was
The stars looked like diamonds
Then came the sirens
And everyone started to cuss
All the noise was disturbing
And I couldn’t find Irving
It was like two stations on at the same time
And then I hid your car keys
And I made black coffee
And I dumped out the rest of the rum
Nick and Socorro broke up
And Candice wouldn’t shut up
Fin he recorded the whole thing
Ray he said damn you
And someone broke my camera
And it was New Years
And we all started to sing
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne
I was leaving in the morning with Charles for Las Vegas
And I didn’t plan to come back
I had only a few things
Two hundred dollars
And my records in a brown paper sack
I ran out on Sheila
Everything’s in storage
Calvin’s right I should go back to driving truck
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne

Happy New Year's Eve, folks
Happy new years eve mate
love to all in 2017!
And in 2018!
Tom Waits is the only only one, the best.
Gotta nytt ar
Jeg vil gerne ønske alle et rigtig godt nyt år med Tom Waits nytårs sang . Han lyder godt nok som en der har tyvstartet løjerne.
Sådan har han vist lydt, siden sutten blev erstattet med Elefantøl og cigaretter.
Happy new years, everyone.
nice tune
أنت ربّ يا توم // نحن نحبك -- و الشيخ راشد يريد أيرك
لا تتركني
لا تنكني . أحب البوليتيكس-
Classic! :)
Calvin's right – I should go back to driving trucks.
it only takes me 1 or 2 beers to get drunk, sometimes it's the 7th, sometimes it's the 8th.
Same time next year?
At least a nice mandolin .-)
At the stroke of midnight,January 1'st,2013,I'm going to play this song as loud as naturally possible,just to piss off the Mayans.
The man at his sullen best
It looks like it´s tryin to rain...
This song defines New Years' Eve the same way Fairytale of New York defines Christmas Eve.
Best track of the album, in my opinion.
@fowlersboot oh yes....
Stunning.
top song
it begins now!!!!!! NEW YEARS EVE!!! let's do this waits
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne.
its so dramatic, so beautiful, so tom waits in every way! love this song
For Joey with love xx
great song
new year's eves are so fucked up. always.
consoling ... like a good bottle in a rainy night
The stars looked like diamonds
Then came the sirens
And everyone started to cuss
I was leaving in the morning with Charles for Las Vegas
And I didnt plan to come back
I had only a few things
Two hundred dollars
And my records in a brown paper sack
Love it
