Waits, Tom - Buzz Fledderjohn Lyrics
I stood on the roof, stood toward dark
To get a better look at the Fledderjons' lawn
Big sharp pistols, ammo too
Nothing but books about World War II
Rottweiler, Dobermann, a Pinkerton guard
I ain't allowed
No, I ain't allowed
I said, I ain't allowed in Buzz Fledderjon's yard
I seen a python swallowing a Dobermann whole
Piranhas swimming in a mixing bowl
Buzz Fledderjon
Paper's full of stabbings, the sky's full of crows
Carp in the bathtub and it's raining real hard
I ain't allowed in Buzz Fledderjon's yard
I said that I ain't allowed
No, I ain't allowed
No, I ain't allowed in Buzz Fledderjon's yard.
Well, the sailor's ringing doorbells, the sinner's in the pew
Weathervane's squeaking to the west
I seen the cliffs of Dover and the deepest ocean blue
One thing in the world I can't recommend to you
Because I ain't allowed
I said, I ain't allowed
No, I ain't allowed in Buzz Fledderjon's yard
I said, I ain't allowed
No, I ain't allowed
I ain't allowed in Buzz Fledderjon's yard
I ain't allowed
I ain't allowed
I said, I ain't allowed in Buzz Fledderjon's yard

Waits, Tom Buzz Fledderjohn Comments
“Nothin but book about ww2
One of my favorite Tom Waits jams.
brutal “Buzz Fledderjohn”.
Es el tema nr15 del cd1, de Orphans.
“Orphans”contiene: Brawlers (cd1), Bawlers (cd2) & Bastards (cd3) es un triple álbum recopilatorio de este músico estadounidense, publicado el 17 de noviembre de 2006 por el sello ANTI-Records. El álbum incluye una colección de 24 rarezas y 30 canciones nuevas de Tom Waits, y está separado en categorías: el primero, bajo el título de "Brawlers", incluye canciones de estilo rock y blues; el segundo, con el título de "Bawlers", incluye baladas y melodías más melancólicas; y finalmente el tercer disco, "Bastards", incluye canciones experimentales y piezas habladas.
Waits describió la colección como: "Un montón de canciones que cayeron detrás de la estufa mientras hacía la cena, sobre 60 canciones que coleccionamos. Algunas son de películas, otras de recopilatorios. Algunas son material que no encajaba en un
disco, cosas que grabé en el garage con los niños. Cosas extrañas,
canciones huérfanas."
"Orphans" fue publicado con reseñas muy positivas y alcanzó el puesto 2 en la lista de los 30 mejores álbumes de 2006 elaborada por la web Metacritic. Fue nominado al premio Grammy como Mejor Álbum de Folk Contemporáneo en 2007.El álbum fue certificado disco de oro por la RIAA por vender más de 500.000 copias en Estados Unidos de Norteamérica, y ha vendido más de un millón de discos a nivel mundial, convirtiéndose hasta la fecha en el trabajo más vendido de Waits.
I must say, John Hammond's version of Tom's song is more to my liking. Taking nothing away from Mr Waits. John's 'Wicked Grinn' album.......uh, sorry.... CD! I guess my age is showing
Gets down to the nitty gritty and gets you off the sofa!
Just grooving o a sun shine day
Fledderjohn sent me here
Robin Banks forced me at gunpoint, I didnt have the heart to tell him that I am a long time admirer of Tom
Anyone else noticed how the comments on Tom Waits vids are so much nicer than anywhere else on the tube
Crowds at his shows are pretty extraordinary gatherings as well. Good people.
Yes I have :)
not true, but for the sake of the argument please continue.
tom waits sent me here.
It reminds me of the groove in the tune "China Pig" by the great Captain Beefheart. Just the guitar and the vocal and the serpentine groove of it... I guess Don Van Vliet sent me here.
LOL, so he did. He got your butt here!
