Artist/Band: Tom Waits
Lyrics for Song: Soldier's Things
Lyrics for Album: Swordfishtrombones



Davenports and kettle drums

and swallow tail coats

table cloths and patent leather shoes

bathing suits and bowling balls

and clarinets and rings

and all this radio really

needs is a fuse

a tinker, a tailor

a soldier's things

his rifle, his boots full of rocks

and this one is for bravery

and this one is for me

and everything's a dollar

in this box



Cuff links and hub caps

trophies and paperbacks

it's good transportation

but the brakes aren't so hot

neck tie and boxing gloves

this jackknife is rusted

you can pound that dent out

on the hood

a tinker, a tailor

a soldier's things

his rifle, his boots full of rocks

oh and this one is for bravery

and this one is for me

and everything's a dollar

in this box
