Lot #37: Oil Painting Tom Waits Tribute Tango Till You're Sore

An oil painting in dramatic brush strokes of black and red on canvas. In the foreground a man in a fedora is playing a concertina and floating above him, some lyrics from the Tom Waits song "Tango Till You're Sore" "Make sure they play my theme songI guess daisies will have to doJust get me to New Orleans and paint shadows on the pewsTurn the spit on that pig" And just because: the complete lyrics from "Tango Till You're Sore"Well ya play that TarantellaAll the hounds they start to roarAnd the boys all go to hellThen the Cubans hit the floorAnd they drive along the pipelineThey tango till they're soreThey take apart their nightmaresAnd they leave them by the door.Let me fall out the windowWith confetti in my hairDeal out jacks or betterOn a blanket by the stairsI'll tell you all my secretsBut I lie about my pastSo send me off to bed forever more.Make sure they play my theme songI guess daisies will have to doJust get me to New OrleansAnd paint shadows on the pewsTurn the spit on that pigKick the drum and let me downPut my clarinet beneath your bedTill I get back in town.Just sure she's all in calicoAnd the color of a dollWave the flag on cadillac dayAnd a skillet on the wallCut me a switch or hold you breathTill the sun goes downWrite my name on the hoodSend me off to another town.
