    Lyrics:
    Look what you started,
    I seem to be coming out of my skin
    Look what you've forgotten here
    The bandages just don't keep me in
    And when it was over, I woke up alone
    And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive
    I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
    I called for my father but my father had died
    While you told me fortunes, in American Slang
    Look at the damage,
    The fortunes came for the richer men.
    While we're left with gallows,
    Waiting for us liars to come down and hang.
    And when it was over, I woke up alone
    And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive
    I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
    I called for my father but my father had died
    While you told me fortunes, in American Slang
    And here's where we died that time last year,
    And here's where the angels and devils meet.
    And you can dance with the queen if you need,
    And she will always keep your cards
    Close to her heart ooh
    So close to her heart before they tear you apart
    When they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive
    I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
    And I called for my father but my father had died
    I called for my father but my father had died
    While you told me fortunes, in American Slang
    You told me fortunes, in American Slang

    This is my favorite band, hands down. The progression of this band from their album Sink or Swim, to The '59 Sound, and now to American Slang, is one that might be confused with a drift toward a commercial sound, and some have said as much. However, I think the progression is one of growth in songwriting and storytelling and musical strength. Keep it going Brian Fallon and guys. Music needs you.

    I first discovered the Gaslight Anthem in 2009 when they supported Bruce at Hyde Park in London & I feel in love they are great I hope they could reform they a my second favourite band behind the E Street Band. Bruce did a dvd of the above concert & Brian joined him on stage to sing No Surrender & you can see myself & a friend in the crowd! A brilliant memory & a brilliant band!

      @andrewrobie620 4 роки тому +2

      @@alphadogg64 Not really. With this album they shifted pretty much completely to pop rock/heartland rock. IMO, it's their best album, but definitely not punk in the conventional sense. Their first album (Sink or Swim) is a lot more quintessentially 2000s punk, and their second album (59 Sound) starts transitioning away from that toward this sound, but I could see how it could still be considered pop punk.

    @MattyE191 completely agree. The Killers and The Gaslight are my two favourite bands and they don't sound the same at all. Different styles, both influenced by Bruce though so thats probably where the similarity is heard..

    They aren't punk to me. Maybe Sink Or Swim, but to me the Gaslight Anthem is just a great rock and roll band with great influences. And it shows. I'm a dedicated listener to the greatest young rock band out there.
    '59 Sound = One of the better albums I've heard in a long time.
    American Slang = A great follow up to a practically perfect album.
