I met Vanessa right in front of her building She was vague, and dazed, and drowning Says she's got a new man and he's in a new band And they've got a new sound I said hardcore is in the eye of the beholder I've got a broken heart from 1989 I was holding my head in my hands from the heat There were elbows in my eyes Vanessa said that there's threads that connect us Flags and wars, we should never accept Angelo said that there's snakes in the smoke From the cigarettes Ivan isn't all that concerned He said it's mostly about what you wear to the show I think the scene's gonna fall apart pretty soon Heard a song that I liked on the radio If things change quickly Just remember I still love you And I'll circle 'round the block tonight Between 9 and 10 o'clock tonight If you're still standing here, I'll take that as a sign You agree it was a sucker punch Punk is not a fair fight It's never been a fair fight We said there weren't any rules But there were so many goddamn rules You said that they'd be cool But then they had so many goddamn rules Some industrial vampire Had it scratched into his skin Someone got something from the store down the street Someone got their head kicked in If the cops shut down the show Just remember that we tried And I'll meet you at the place we crashed In 1999 If you're still staying there I'll take that as a sign Well the drugs, they all ganged up on you It's never been a fair fight It's never been a fair fight It's never been a fair fight Yeah, I went to the service No, I didn't know what to say Everybody's talking about his joie de vivre I guess I didn't see it that way Saw him snap off the filters I guess he liked how it burned Everybody's talking about his song and his laughter I guess I'm still not sure Yeah, I knew he was hurting I was not exactly walking in bright lights Yeah, I knew it could happen It's never been a fair fight It's never been a fair fight

Seth Meyers brought me here.

Beautiful intro, does anybody have the lyrics to this?

this has gotta be the best recording of his best live performance of one of his best songs

Area where I was born n raised awesome

It's a crime that in 2024 this video still only has 1.6K likes.

Never stop touring!

Great song not so keen on video

I love this song but this video not as good as the one in my head

It is god damn criminal that this song only got 76,000 listens, at least half of those are mine.

Anyone here from Sam Fender’s Facebook story?

Stumbled across this in Rolling Stone's 100 Best Songs of the 2010s and I am a huge Hold Steady fan but had never heard it. Holy. Shit. Incredibly moving. Chicago is the crossroads, the Rome of the Midwest. Our church. My home.

Very relatable. Not common themes in music. Ty for this.

Craig you’re forgetting your own lyrics here but there’s people out there that know em all by heart. Thank you for the music.

This song has broken my heart everytime. Its glorious and so is Craig Finns ability. Hes also why i love the hold steady and yes I loved both music in backwards order.

i love you, craig finn. you goddamn genius

The narional

This piano captures the feel of Chicago weather in my mind... can't explain it.

I listen to thousands of songs a year. This one is absolutely a favorite. Never gets old.

i saw this video freshman year of college, and still 5 years later i think of it constantly

I can't express how much I love this.

" " "....not to shoot something Blue..." " " Craig's got the best little lines that can pass thru your head multiple times before ever realizing how many different things it might or might not be implying. You're a great writer, Craig!

Great song writer

This beautifully sad and very haunting. One of Craig's best.

The Horns add something special to this song

On this day that Robbie Robertson has left to mend fences with 3 of his 4 brothers… I just want to tell you, Craig, how much my friends and I LOVE Rick Danko AND his Solo stuff(Java Blues, Sip the wine!!) Having said that, the way I just found YOU, could be the lyrics to one of your songs!! Glad to find a new friend (I am sure Rick had something to do with it!) Atonement and Love ❤for us all!!!!!!

Love it 😁

I want to know what becomes of these two young folks

we all want the same things & then it was morning

Oh yeah I’m an Aussie but I’ve got needs

No comments? I've shown this song to a lot of people. From the mother of my newborn child. To my new friend at work. Thank you Craig Finn, for all of your life's work.

I really just love this song so much. Craig Finn inspires my UA-cam channel in a lot of ways.

This song is like a Raymond Carver short story with music

Stunning. Video, song, lyrics...stunning.

Hi Craig. Really enjoying your songs.

Acoustic version is also quite good

It’s like the perfect mixture of Leonard Cohen and Warren Zevon ❤ So glad I discovered Craig!

A sincerity conveys in these acoustic versions that tempers the endearing hokiness

With love from Russia, man.

When the drum beat kicks in---Tooooo fucking good.

I cried

Dying America's lost and alive Neo Walt Whitman

Absolutely gorgeous song, my favorite from this album.

I just discovered this song and am absolutely obsessed. I can’t wait to listen to more and learn about the artist.

We live on different planes Layers of life unseen by the outside world Tune in for the show but skip the ads that depress you.

Strangely beautiful.

❤️

❤

Right!!

quite possibly the worst song and music video ever made
