    Sometimes I wish I had more "flat" days. My never ending love for the complete monsters in charge of our every breath can be overwhelming.

    I like Patty Smyth. I always thought she was underrated. Here is my favorite, the best cover ever of Tom Waits's 'Downtown Train'. Maybe one of the best songs ever written, lyrically IMHO:



    Outside another yellow moon
    Punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
    I climb through the window and down the street
    I'm shining like a new dime
    The downtown trains are full
    With all those Brooklyn girls
    They try so hard to break out of their little worlds

    You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
    They have nothing that will ever capture your heart
    They're just thorns without the rose
    Be careful of them in the dark
    Oh if I was the one
    You chose to be your only one
    Oh baby can't you hear me now

    Will I see you tonight
    On a downtown train
    Every night its just the same
    You leave me lonely, now

    I know your window and I know it's late
    I know your stairs and your doorway
    I walk down your street and past your gate
    I stand by the light at the four-way
    You watch them as they fall
    Oh baby, they all have heart attacks
    They stay at the carnival
    But they'll never win you back

    Will I see you tonight
    On a downtown train
    Where every night is just the same

    Will I see you tonight
    On a downtown train
    All of my dreams just fall like rain
    All on a downtown train

    And here's the original, I think Patty captured Tom's vision of what the song represents far, far better than Rod Stewart did:

    This a landmark song, you have that correctly. I think I like Patty Smyth's rendition even better than the original.
    Rod who? I have never been a true fan of Mr Stewart. He was inescapably popular way back but he has ALWAYS bugged me. Perhaps his ego isn't as big as a Boeing hangar? I know, I know bigger than a Boeing colossal hangar.

    I actually stopped him cold for a second during a San Francisco performance. All I shouted was "Faces."
