about

I love Tom Waits, what can I say, and this certainly pays tribute. Great groove from Marc Erbetta and Patrice Moret.

lyrics

F = 0

I’ve got one love bug on my chicken wing
I’ve got two hot potatoes - one of them can sing
But the future
Amounts to nothing

I’ve got three little pigs tattooed on my chin
I’ve got four square umbrellas – but the rain will win
And the future
Amounts to nothing

I’ve got five little fingers and a diamond ring
I’ve got six male coyotes eating jellybeans
But the future
Amounts to nothing

Songbird can disappear – oh
Songbird can show no fear – oh
The mighty big F. word –
Equals zero. (repeat)

I’ve got seven deadly curses – one of them ‘s a sin
I’ve got eight stupid cousins fighting off gangrene
With a stun gun
It’s a homerun

I’ve got nine o’clock ferries and some coloured gin
I’ve got ten red berries and the poison stings
And the future
Amounts to nothing

Songbird can disappear – oh
Songbird can show no fear – oh
The mighty big F. word –
Equals zero. (repeat)

Amounts to nothing
Amounts to nothing

I’ve got a---future---(amounts to nothing)

It seems no matter how you count it-
It always turns up the same…
