From Shortlist Magazine:
Two Outtakes From The Beatles’ “Love” Album.
I only found out about these iTunes-only bonus tracks from digging around the internet for information on how Giles and George Martin put The Beatles’ Love album together. I was pleasantly surprised!
First up is ‘Girl’ which features sitar from ‘Within You Without You‘, guitar from ‘And I Love Her‘ and drums from ‘Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite‘.
Next is ‘The Fool On The Hill’ which includes sitar from ‘Sea Of Holes‘, piano from ‘Dear Prudence‘ and vocals and horns from ‘Mother Nature’s Son‘.

Tom Waits: “The Bottom Of The World”.
For no real reasons other than it’s currently my favourite song and I love the lyrics.
Bottom Of The World.
By Tom Waits.
Well my daddy told me, lookin’ back,
The best friend you’ll have is a railroad track
So when I was 13 I said I’m rollin’ my own
And I’m leavin’ Missouri and I’m never comin’ home
And I’m lost
And I’m lost
And I’m lost at the bottom of the world
I’m handcuffed to the bishop in the barbershop line
I’m lost at the bottom of the world.
Satchel Puddin’ and Lord God Mose
Sitting by the fire with a busted nose
That fresh egg yeller is too damn rare
But the white part is perfect for slickin’ down your hair
And I’m lost
And I’m lost
And I’m lost at the bottom of the world
I’m handcuffed to the bishop in the barbershop line
I’m lost at the bottom of the world.
Blackjack Ruby and Nimrod Cain
The moon’s the color of a coffee stain
Jesse Frank and Birdy Joe Hoaks
But who is the king of all these folks?
And I’m lost
And I’m lost
And I’m lost at the bottom of the world
I’m handcuffed to the bishop in the barbershop line
I’m lost at the bottom of the world.
Well I dined last night with Scarface Ron
On Telapia fish cakes and fried black swan
Razorweed onion and peacock squirrel
And I dreamed all night about a beautiful girl
And I’m lost
And I’m lost
And I’m lost at the bottom of the world
I’m handcuffed to the bishop in the barbershop line
I’m lost at the bottom of the world.
Well God’s green hair is where I slept last
He balanced a diamond on a blade of grass
Now I woke me up with a cardinal bird
And when I wanna talk
He hangs on every word
And I’m lost
And I’m lost
I’m lost at the bottom of the world
I’m handcuffed to the bishop in the barbershop line
I’m lost at the bottom of the world
