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. Gun Street Girl song meanings. Add your thoughts 7 Comments. 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". Tom Waits - Gun Street Girl Lyrics | MetroLyrics AllMusic relies heavily on JavaScript.

Gun street girl : a Detective Sean Duffy novel | Wake County 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.
