Way down in the hole eftir Tom Waits

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When you walk through the garden
you gotta watch your back
well I beg your pardon
walk the straight and narrow track
if you walk with Jesus
he's gonna save your soul
you gotta keep the devil
way down in the hole

he's got the fire and the fury
at his command
well you don't have to worry
if you hold on to Jesus hand
we'll all be safe from Satan
when the thunder rolls
just gotta help me keep the devil
way down in the hole

All the angels sing about Jesus' mighty sword
and they'll shield you with their wings
and keep you close to the lord
don't pay heed to temptation
for his hands are so cold
you gotta help me keep the devil
way down in the hole

Þú gerir þér væntanlega grein fyrir því að þessi texti er kaldhæðnin ein út í gegn...?

Nei ég geri mér ekki grein fyrir því og ég held að þú hafir rangt fyrir þér. Ég get bent þér á fleiri texta eftir Tom Waits.

Some elements in the Catholic Church have highlighted the prominent Christian overtones in Waits' oeuvre. Performing songs such as Jesus Gonna Be Here and Lord I've Been Changed, you can see why. Quoted in The Times, an article by Father Antonio Spadaro in a recent edition of the Jesuit journal Civilta Cattolica explores how Tom Waits' music offers listeners a form of spiritual succour. Although he has never publicly professed a Christian faith, Waits' lyrics are often simpatico with Christ's message. His songs venerate the downtrodden, the dejected, the prostitutes and the beggars. According to Father Spadaro, Waits' often grungy material offers liberation; it expresses a "capacity for hope and instinct for happiness".
