Píseň: Big In Japan

Interpret:
Tom Waits
Album:
Mule Variations
I got the style but not the grace
I got the clothes but not the face
I got the bread but not the butter
I got the winda but not the shutter


But I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan But heh I'm big in Japan


I got the house but not the deed
I got the horn but not the reed
I got the cards but not the luck
I got the wheel but not the truck


But heh I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan


I got the moon I got the cheese I got the whole damn nation
On its knees I got the rooster I got the crow
I got the ebb I got the flow


I got the powder but not the gun
I got the dog but not the bun
I got the clouds but not the sky
I got the stripes but not the tie


But heh I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan


Heh ho they love the way I do it
Heh ho there's really nothing to it


I got the moon I got the cheese
I got the whole damn nation on their knees
I got the rooster I got the crow
I got the ebb I got the flow


I got the sizzle but not the steak
I got the boat but not the lake
I got the sheets but not the bed
I got the jam but not the bread


But heh I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan I'm big in Japan
I'm big in Japan, I'm big in Japan
