Town With No Cheer - Tom Waits[00:00:01]

Well it's hotter 'n blazes and all the long faces[00:00:43]

There'll be no oasis for a dry local grazier[00:00:50]

There'll be no refreshment for a thirsty jackaroo[00:01:00]

From Melbourne to Adelaide on the overlander[00:01:07]

With newfangled buffet cars and faster locomotives[00:01:15]

The train stopped in Serviceton less and less often[00:01:24]

There's nothing sadder than a town with no cheer[00:01:32]

Voc Rail decided the canteen was no longer necessary there[00:01:40]

No spirits no bilgewater and 80 dry locals[00:01:50]

And the high noon sun beats a hundred and four[00:01:58]

There's a hummingbird trapped in a closed down shoe store[00:02:06]

This tiny Victorian rhubarb[00:02:14]

Kept the watering hole open for sixty five years[00:02:16]

Now it's boilin' in a miserable March 21 st[00:02:31]

Wrapped the hills in a blanket of Patterson's curse[00:02:39]

The train smokes down the xylophone[00:02:46]

There'll be no stopping here[00:02:49]

All ya can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer[00:02:54]

No Bourbon no Branchwater[00:03:19]

Though the townspeople here[00:03:22]

Fought her Vic Rail decree tooth and nail[00:03:25]

Now it's boilin' in a miserable March 21 st[00:03:34]

Wrapped the hills in a blanket of Patterson's curse[00:03:40]

The train smokes down the xylophone[00:03:49]

There'll be no stopping here[00:03:52]

All ya can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer[00:03:56]
