My all-time favourite Waits track and the most heart-breakingly beautiful song you'll ever hear (just wait until 3:30-ish). Complete & utter genius.
Sentimental, picturesque, schmaltzy, but gets me every time
Now this is as fine a song as you could hope to hear (Virginia Avenue isn't bad either!)
Take the spokes from your wheelchair And a magpies wings And tie em to your shoulders and your feet
