All Stripped Down, Bone Machine, Tom Waits [191]

As Song by Song progresses through Bone Machine, Sam & Martin welcome Eliza Rickman and Greg Alison for a conversation around the ambience of the album, both thematically as well as sonically. We discuss the overlap of religion and sexuality in this song, the presence of material things in this song as well as our interval artist Bessie Smith, and the antiquing opportunities around the Sebastopol, CA area. Song by Song is Martin Zaltz Austwick and Sam Pay; two musicians listening to and discussing every single Tom Waits track in chronological order. website: songbysongpodcast.com twitter: @songbysongpod e-mail: [email protected] Music extracts used for illustrative/review purposes include: All Stripped Down, Bone Machine, Tom Waits (1992) Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out, The Best of Bessie Smith, Bessie Smith (1929) We think your Song by Song experience will be enhanced by hearing, in full, the songs featured in the show, which you can get hold of from your favourite record shop or online platform.

Lyrics - All Stripped Down Well the time will come When the wind will shout All stripped down  All stripped down And all the sinners know What I'm talking about All stripped down  All stripped down When all the creatures of the world Are gonna line up at the gate All stripped down All stripped down And you better be on time And you better not be late All stripped  All stripped down Well, you know in your heart What you gotta bring All stripped down All stripped down No big mink coat No diamond ring All stripped down  All stripped down Well take off your paint And take off your rouge All stripped down  All stripped down Let your backbone flip And let your spirit shine thru I want you all stripped All stripped All stripped down All the men we got Well they're goin' down the drain All stripped down  All stripped down And when I see your sadness On a river of shame All stripped down  All stripped down You got to raise up Both the quick and the dead All stripped down  All stripped down With no shoes on your feet No hat on your head I want you all stripped  All stripped  All stripped down Ain't nothin' in my heart But fire for you All stripped down  All stripped down With my rainy hammer And a heart that's true All stripped  All stripped down
