One, two, three Falling James in the Tahoe mud Stick around to tell us all a tale Well, he fell in love with a Gun Street girl And now he's dancing in the Birmingham jail Dancing in the Birmingham jail He took a hundred dollars off a slaughterhouse Joe Brought a brand new Michigan twenty-gauge He got all liquored up on that road house corn Blew a hole in the hood of a yellow Corvette A hole in the hood of a yellow Corvette He bought a second-hand Nova from a Cuban Chinese And dyed his hair in the bathroom of a Texaco With a pawnshop radio, quarter past four He left for Waukegan at the slamming of the door Left for Waukegan at the slamming of the door I said John, John, he's long gone Gone to Indiana, ain't never coming home I said John, John, he's long gone Gone to Indiana, ain't never coming home He's sitting in a sycamore in St. John's wood Soaking day-old bread in kerosene Well, he was blue as a robin's egg and brown as a hog He's staying out of circulation till the dogs get tired Out of circulation till the dogs get tired Shadow fixed the toilet with an old trombone He never get up in the morning on a Saturday Sitting by the Erie with a bull-whipped dog Telling everyone he saw, "they went that-a-way, boys" Telling everyone he saw, "they went that-a-way" Now the rain's like gravel on an old tin roof And the Burlington Northern pulling out of the world Now a head full of bourbon and a dream in the straw And a Gun Street girl was the cause of it all A Gun Street girl was the cause of it all Well, he's riding in the shadow by the St. Joe ridge Hearing the click-clack tapping of a blind man's cane He was pulling into Baker on a New Year's Eve One eye on a pistol and the other on the door One eye on a pistol and the other on the door Miss Charlotte took her satchel down to King Fish Row Smuggled in a brand new pair of alligator shoes With her fireman's raincoat and her long yellow hair Well, they tied her to a tree with a skinny millionaire Tied her to a tree with a skinny millionaire I said John, John, he's long gone Gone to Indiana, ain't never coming home I said John, John, he's long gone Gone to Indiana, ain't never coming home Banging on the table with an old tin cup Sing I'll never kiss a Gun Street girl again Never kiss a Gun Street girl again I'll never kiss a Gun Street girl again I said John, John, he's long gone Gone to Indiana, ain't never coming home I said John, John, he's long gone Gone to Indiana, ain't never coming home Edit Lyrics.

I have enjoyed everyone of the Sean Duffy series and the fourth instalment is just as good as the others. Growing up in Northern Ireland at the time of the background events make the books all the more interesting for me. I found this book very hard to put down and greedily read it all in one sitting. Can only hope Sean will be out for a fifth time! Yay, book 4 is as good as the first 3. Gritty, great mystery, flawed detective, and what copper wouldn't be in this police force. Really enjoyed it. Great holiday read. Well written and complex enough to grab the attention. McKinty is such a powerful writer. I love the Sean Duffy books. So gritty. McKinty can do no wrong - I really love his characters - the good and the bad, there are not grey areas - all black and white. See all reviews. Top reviews from other countries. This is the fourth Sean Duffy police procedural and it's the point where something really clicked for me. The series weaves real life, historic events into a parochial, Carrickfergus based crime spree. There is invention and, as Adrian McKinley notes in the epilogue, he has compressed events so they unfold quickly when in real life they were slow burning. But the effortless placing of these newsworthy events into a fictitious plot is really unusual. What felt uncomfortable in the first three novels now just feels right. So in this one, we find Inspector Sean Duffy investigating what appears to be a double killing and suicide in deepest East Antrim and quickly getting enmeshed in international sleaze and corruption. Duffy, as is his wont, is torn between personal corruption, doing the right thing and doing what the greater powers suggest. As he flip flops between these paths, he makes enemies and fails to take any path to its conclusion. Gun Street Girl has a great sense not only of time, but also of place. The locations are perfectly described and create a sense of history as so much has changed since the setting. There are also forays to Oxford and Ayr which capture the places perfectly. One thing that I had not fully appreciated from previous Sean Duffy novels is that the titles all come from Tom Waits songs. Gun Street Girl is too obvious to miss, especially when you know the fifth is called Rain Dogs. Knowing this makes you appreciate Duffy's musical taste all the more. A man who shares my tastes in music, whisky and literature can't be all that bad, even if he is a Peeler. The fourth Sean Duffy novel and perhaps the best so far. McCrabban have a murder suicide which is not as straightforward as it initially appears. I love these novels. Adrian McKinty is a talented storyteller with a gift for language and rhythm which brings this period in Northern Ireland's history alive. I realise the fact that I grew up in 70s and 80s Northern Ireland - bought that Sam Cooke album, remember the confusion and uncertainty of the time, recall 'Ulster Says No' - perhaps predisposes me to liking the books but it's more than that. Yes, it's great to have a crime series set in places that I know well but I keep coming back because of the quality of the writing. This time round Duffy gets to Coleraine where I live, although he has to take a beating to bring him here, and he introduces me to Toru Takemitsu's 'Rain Coming' which can't be bad. Just one problem for me - who drove the Beemer back from the airport? So many crime novels turn out to the the 'same old same old'. The launch of a new magazine brings a hos Hardened London PI Nick Sharman sees light-fingered heiress Elizabeth Pike try to take cufflinks from a store, talks her out of it and hands her his card. The launch of a new magazine brings a host of delightful characters, a PR with hair tied in a ponytail, a coterie of hair stylists bitching, the introduction of that common little cow Fiona, a page 3 topless model. The wolves gather. The family for the reading of the will and beneficiaries of the media empire, a party for the glitterati disrupted when Catherine's stylist is hurled from the roof through the glass of the conservatory. The paparazzi swarm and the villains enter. Three Australians bent on extortion and murder This was a wonderful read, hard, gritty and funny, with a twist at the end; just as I like my books. In the third novel of the Nick Sharman series by Mark Timlin, we find the tough London private detective trying to protect the wealthy Pike family from dangerous personal secrets. Timlin writes in a cool sardonic style giving Nick Sharman the wit of Raymond Chandler along with the toughness of Mickey Spillane all wrapped up In the third novel of the Nick Sharman series by Mark Timlin, we find the tough London private detective trying to protect the wealthy Pike family from dangerous personal secrets. Timlin writes in a cool sardonic style giving Nick Sharman the wit of Raymond Chandler along with the toughness of Mickey Spillane all wrapped up with a gritty British slant. Sharman is an ex-cop, ex-drug addict who likes ladies, classic cars and booze for lunch. This is tough crime noir given a talented and stylish polish by the author. To conclude Gun Street Girl is brutal, shocking and gripping in equal measure and leaves me searching for the next book in the series. Oct 03, Steven Pilling rated it liked it. Not read Sharman for so long. All the faults I remember are still present and correct but they are forgivable as the pace , the pastiche and the sheer fun in the weirdest way you can have fun exists. Sharman is a lovely palate cleaner.

Sounding like an old Alan Lomax field recording of sharecroppers or a chain gang, or one of the hillbilly folk rave-ups from Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music , re-released in , Tom Waits barks out a folktale about a man on the lam after murdering his lover. He accompanies himself on a clanging banjo, plays upright bass, and percussionist Michael Blair bangs on some iron bars, sounding like old-time railroad workers banging spikes. This being Waits specifically post Waits, when he started to free himself from restrictive narrative patterns , the lyrics are anything but straightforward; they pass by in a surreal haze of evocative proper names, word combinations, and highly impressionistic images. From 's Rain Dogs which is considered the second in a trilogy of records that began with in and finished with Frank's Wild Years in , "Gun Street Girl" continues Waits' move away from the more traditional leanings of his s records. Those were steeped in rootsy blues, jazz, folk, and Tin Pan Alley pop. But Waits had seemed to paint himself into a corner with a persona and style that was edging toward self-parody. He almost completely reinvented himself in the s with strides toward a much wider range of more adventurous musical styles, including -inspired deconstructed blues and Weimar era cabaret songwriting. It was really unlike anything the songwriter had recorded prior to Swordfishtrombones. And while his lyrics were always one of his strong points, Waits abandoned many of the nostalgic, hipster, boozy poet themes that he had done so well but had started to become tired. Instead, he seemed to choose to follow a more stream-of-consciousness approach that got more at the heart of Americana, rather than merely evoking scenes from noir films. His songs seemed more present and vital, though still timeless. While he embraced new elements, Waits was also wise to retain the aspects of his songwriting as well as his personality that set him apart; instead of tearing down his past completely, he grew from it.

My Interpretation First stanza: "I'm going to tell you a story about a man who fell in love with a girl from the wrong side of the tracks. Now he's in jail. Fifth stanza: "Hiding in the woods or perhaps actually hiding in a tree in the woods eating food that isn't the best and drowning it in strong booze. He's hiding until they stop looking. There was an error. I found some Tom Waits quotes on the net about this song: "Gun Street Girl is about a guy who's having trouble with the law and he traces all of these events back to this girl he met on Gun Street right there on Center Market right in Little Italy there. Where is the end of this tale? There's: "Telling everyone they saw the went thataway". There's this girl tied to a tree with a skinny millionaire and a guy coming into Baker with a pistol and a So I just tried to throw it all in there and make it like eh It's like when you wake up in the middle of the night and you try to remember something that you don't, you remember just pieces of things? Thanks to whoever posted these, at this link: tomwaitslibrary. My Interpretation An old desperado once told me that if I was ever stuck for a drink to get a chunk of stale bread and pour kerosene thru the bread. The bread acts as a filter: retaining the stuff you don't want and furnishing you with the stuff you very much want. I've always thought that it was this that Waits was referring to. Certainly you won't throw a bloodhound off your trail with kerosene, wish you could , but you can't. No Replies Log in to reply. This is especially audible during this song's refrain and during similar sounding lines ex. Still, Waits makes the tune his own through his lyrics, which are great as usual, and the stripped down backwoods instrumentation on the banjo is different and works incredibly well. General Comment absolutely one of my favourites, and what a story! General Comment Waukegan. Fucking great. Song Meaning In the fifth stanza of Gun Street Girl, Hraesvelg interpretation "eating food that isn't the best and drowning it in strong booze" is their interpretation of "soaking day old bread in kerosene" - soaking bread in kerosene is a way to trow off tracking dogs. My Opinion Something I like about this song is the fact that it doesn't need to be sung. If you just say the words, the rhythm just happens. Most things you can get with a button nowadays. So if I was trying for a certain drum sound, my engineer would say, 'Oh, for Christ's sake, why are we wasting our time? Let's just hit this little cup with a stick here, sample something take a drum sound from another record and make it bigger in the mix, don't worry about it. Waits also stated that "if we couldn't get the right sound out of the drum set we'd get a chest of drawers in the bathroom and bang it real hard with a two-by-four," such that "the sounds become your own. Rain Dogs was the first time that Waits worked with guitarist , [10] who was impressed by Waits' unusual studio presence. Ribot said, " Rain Dogs was my first major label type recording, and I thought everybody made records the way Tom makes records. I've learned since that it's a very original and individual way of producing. As producer apart from himself as writer and singer and guitar player he brings in his ideas, but he's very open to sounds that suddenly and accidentally occur in the studio. I remember one verbal instruction being, 'Play it like a midget's bar mitzvah. It wasn't a mechanical kind of recording at all. He has a very individual guitar style he sort of slaps the strings with his thumb He let me do what I heard, there was a lot of freedom. If it wasn't going in a direction he liked, he'd make suggestions. But there's damn few ideas I've had which haven't happened on the first or second take. I picked out a couple of songs that I thought he would understand and he did. He's got a great voice and he's just a great spirit in the studio. He's very spontaneous, he moves like some kind of animal. I was trying to explain 'Big Black Mariah' and finally I started to move in a certain way and he said, 'Oh, why didn't you do that to begin with? Now I know what you're talking about. According to Barney Hoskyns , the album's general theme of "the urban dispossessed" was inspired in part by Martin Bell 's documentary Streetwise , to which Waits had been asked to contribute music. The man and woman depicted on the cover are called Rose and Lilly. The album has been noted as one of the most important musically and critically in Waits' career, in particular to the new direction which he undertook from 's Swordfishtrombones onwards. In his review for Rolling Stone , Anthony Decurtis gave the album a mixed review, writing: " Rain Dogs insists on nosing its way around the barrooms and back alleys Waits has so often visited before.
