This is one of my favorite songs but this video of the performance always bothers me. It’s an incredible piece of songwriting that intimately portrays the heartbreaking life of a junkie prostitute and her fantasies of a normal life. The “writer” of the Christmas card is not a subject of humor. The live audience’s laughter is so awkwardly inappropriate.
I always listen to Tom Waits around Christmas time. This song is so similar to my situation you wouldn’t believe me if I told you the full of it, and it cuts me to the bone every time.
A lot of people don’t know this but Tom Waits modeled his voice after Heath Leger’s Joker
