Today I learned about the "black Maria" lyric. I always thought it was something like "no need to live like Maria" but I don't really listen to lyrics. And I know the Waits song well and that the song is called "Big Black Mariah", but it does sound like he's saying something like "biggest black rattle."

I'm an idiot.

Just goes to show you that when I hear songs with vocals, it's basically just gibberish, melody, and rhythm that I hear.
If you like gibberish lyrics, then do I have a fin de siecle decade for you!
Hmm, maybe the 80s were alright after all...
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
