Soldiers Things — текст песни (Tom Waits)

Davenports and kettle drums

And swallow tail coats

Table cloths and patent leather shoes

Bathing suits and bowling balls

And clarinets and rings

And all this radio really

Needs is a fuse

A tinker, a tailor

A soldiers things

His rifle, his boots full of rocks

And this one is for bravery

And this one is for me

And everythings a dollar

In this box



Cuff links and hub caps

Trophies and paperbacks

Its good transportation

But the brakes arent so hot

Neck tie and boxing gloves

This jackknife is rusted

You can pound that dent out

On the hood

A tinker, a tailor

A soldiers things

His rifle, his boots full of rocks

Oh and this one is for bravery

And this one is for me

And everythings a dollar

In this box
