[net.music] Autoerotic song from Tom Waits

peterr@utcsrgv.UUCP (Peter Rowley) (10/02/84)

Autoeroticism is a pretty popular topic, it turns out.  Tom Waits has a
great talking/singing piece, called "Better Off Without a Wife" (I think),
that contains such lines as
	about 2 or 3 in the morning, you take advantage of yourself,
	there's no way around that,
	you know, making the scene with a magazine,
	there ain't no way around that...
	Not that I'm wierd about it or anything-- I don't tie myself up first;
	I just spend a little time with myself.

(very loosely remembered; I haven't been able to find it on disc-- pointers
 welcomed)
