From Wikipedia:

Franks Wild Years is the tenth studio album by Tom Waits, released 1987 on Island Records. It is the third in a loose trilogy that began with Swordfishtrombones. Subtitled “Un Operachi Romantico in Two Acts”, the album contains songs written by Waits and collaborators (mainly his wife, Kathleen Brennan) for a play of the same name. The play had its world premiere at the Briar St. Theatre in Chicago, Illinois, on June 22, 1986, performed by the Steppenwolf Theatre Company. “If I Have to Go” was used in the play, but released only in 2006 on Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards. The theme from “If I Have to Go” was used under the title “Rat’s Theme” in the documentary Streetwise as early as 1984. The title is derived from “Frank’s Wild Years”, a track from Swordfishtrombones
