this is anodyne, boring, awful. Mr. Waits is a brilliant musician, and Rod Stewart is just brutal.

Ya' know what? Sometimes we have to admit that there are songs that are better versions than the originals. This should be one of them. I have high respects to Tom Waits. He sure is one of the best songwriter of our times. And the best compliment a person receive is to know that somebody somewhere is trying hard to transform his work into something more special.

Rod´s version is so much better than Tom´s... I never knew that this was a cover version. Thank you Rod.

This has to be one of the worst cover versions in the history of popular music

Isn't it true that he had his stomach pumped, and there was man-juice in it? Burn in hell, Rod

Ha, I'm a Brookyln girl and I am on a downtown train at least once a day. Cute song.

I grew up with a strong fascination for the city life, and always wished I had grown up in NYC, to sneak out of the house late a night and see/experience all the excitement of being underage in the city. This song always brings back that exciting feeling, and makes me wish I was young again. Nothing like being in your early teens and discovering life. Wish I had done that. Hehehe.
