Janis never wrote
or sang this - but drank done her
it later was said
yo from his gutter Tom Waits
cheery 'bout his unfilled plot*
*(The latter a brief excerpt comment from the American poet/songwriter and much-loved public disgrace graces the intro to Ian Rankin's "Mortal Causes," part of a double from the new Scot sensation (new only apparently to me it seems) in a double-book to include "The Black Book." Waits is quoted in the intro just after the Acknowledgements as: "We're all gonna be just dirt in the ground." Read the story first and see. The other intro is from Hugh MacDiarmid - with only a slightly less salty outlook.)
