Gaslight Anthem, The - American Slang Lyrics
Look what you started
I seem to be coming out of my skin
And 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
(In a dream I had, oh in dream I had)
I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
(In a dream I had, oh in dream I had)
And I called for my father, but my father had died
(In a dream I had, oh in dream I had)
While you told me fortunes in American slang
The fortunes came for the richer men
While we're left with gallows
Just waiting for us liars to come down and hang
And when it was over, I woke up alone
And when it was over, I woke up alone
And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive
(In a dream I had, oh in dream I had)
I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
(In a dream I had, oh in dream I had)
And I called for my father, but my father had died
(In a dream I had, oh in dream I had)
While you told me fortunes in American slang
And here's where we died that time last year
And 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
Oh, so close to her heart
Before they tear you apart, mmm
Well 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
(In a dream I had, oh in dream I had)
And we called for our mothers, but our mothers have died
(In a dream I had, oh in dream I had)
And you told us fortunes in American slang
Oh, you told me fortunes in American slang

Gaslight Anthem, The American Slang Comments
Real life later-day rock n' rollers. I love this group and this track so much! East-coast, urban, working class...they're like the bastard sons of Bruce Springsteen.
kTV be like.... GO CHECK US OUT AT kTV Live on YOUTUBE
The gaslighters are a great band and her sounds are fantastic Rock`n Roll.
“In a dream I had, all in a dream I had.”
From His Hat to His Vans this Guy is a Genius, Best is, he has not got a clue 3>
One time I had a conversation with my American friend about gaslight and slang and he’s like ‘hey! that’s a song!’ and that’s when I first got introduced to this band. I love it!
From 🇺🇦 with ❤️
WOAH sounds so beautiful, remember me of another awesomness band **Against me!**
stop im being gaslit
Oh wow.
One of bests songwriters in modern punk. FCSP
Wait, this is meant to be punk? I was listening to this thinking "hey this is pretty decent pop rock" but it's meant to be punk? That's kind of pathetic ahahaha.
@Ulysses 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.
They need to learn how to articulate better. Not a fan. Will never be. Heard this at the gym and wondered who the idiot that signed them?
Brian Fallon is my hero
I live in Australia and absolutely love Gaslight and Brian....most underrated in this country!!! Keep them coming!
Really a great song
i love the "here's lookin' at you kid" reference
I love me some Gaslight Anthem... 😌Pure Bliss.
Does anyone else hear Like a Friend by Pulp in the this song or is it just me?
Now you said it, I can hear it too. :D
the boss's lost children
Pretentious tattooed douchebags.
damn I really really miss going crazy at their concerts, love Brian solo, but its just not the same.
Wattpad brought me here.😂. This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
What book?😂👏
Caught by the bad boys 😂😂

Someone came here by God?
Understanders will understand.

@BlueStarDukun Hahaha Exactly! Awesome.
The first song I ever heard by The Gaslight Anthem. It will always have a place in my heart.

Good tune.

Rozumiem jedno bardziej kochasz pieniążki niż swój kraj ojczysty...a zgrywasz się na patriotę... żenada
Twe słowa nie bolą one świadczą tylko żle o Tobie....

song of the day 26-03-2015: songs of leaving
Played over again on a broken record
Song of the day 17-04-2017/ perhaps, there's no leaving now...
03-07-2018: it’s been so very long ago, that sizzling summer
If you ever drive to New York City, make sure you put this on when you're halfway through the Lincoln Tunnel. Just do it.
@xAlyssaJones37 I have a vivid memory of going over the Manhattan Bridge on a train listening to this, and watching that skyline with this song... sigh...
xAlyssaJones37 my dream. I'm Aussie
loving this band at the minute, its simple no bullshit, heartfelt rock n roll. is there anything better ?
No, there isn't! :')
Preach brotha, preach!
No, there isn't
Just Good Music
American dream
Bra musik!
to soft almost gay
look at you damn clown
Yeah and
When will people stop using "gay" as a derogatory remark. -_-
Screw you
FANTASTIC
I heard this song at Hardrock cafe Rome and I immediately fell in love with it
And, all of the sudden, I've realized that Brian Fallon and I are the exact same person.
Doubtful
big thanks to H-D, found the band on their Breakout ad :)
LOVE.THIS.BAND.!!!! :-)
i love against me...oh wait..
LOVE, LOVE , LOVE THIS SONG ! Will be on the soundtrack to the movie of my life !
i'd get rid of the old comment.
this song made me realize my relationship was over before it even started
sorry, i thought you said IS SHIT, not is THE SHIT...sorry, too used to fucking trolls on great videos.
then watch brian fallon ft. Chuck Ragan
That doesn't make any sense, but you have my thumb for randomly including a Dark Knight quote. Keep up the good work!
Is that anything to do with using "your" instead of "you're"?
Love it, I was thinking the same. One of the best episodes!
Saw them opening for The Killers at Wembley Stadium, I was already a fan but seeing them made me enjoy their music so much more. One of the best bands going.
Mark Edmonds omg LUUUUCCCKKKKYY! that would be an amzing ass c9ncert
Mark Edmonds So did I
This song is the shit
Hey man, you either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain.
"In a dream I had, oh, in a dream I had."
where are they playing in june.?
Going to see 'em in June
Nahh they were me ;) aha
its fitting that this should be posted on "American Slang"...
Deaf Havana
Half the views are probably me :P
Rum-Ham!!! Thats how I think of the Jersey shore area, from that episode of Sunny in Philly! Don't go under the boardwalk!
dont worry, I won't give you a like for that comment.
SO UNDER RATED!!! i love listening to bands that deserve more to be famous, and then watching them become loved by all the smart people!!!
HAVE ANY BANDS LIKE GA IN MIND????!!!!
i really like the small "un famous" stuff.
Because they still have something to aim towards.
I love this song
did you know that 98.9% of statistics are made up?
These guys represent 25% of New Jersey. New Jersey does have some decent people but that doesn't excuse the other 75%. Jersey kids overrun UMD and bring the trashiness with them. Most of them are entitled douchbags (sorry to my friends from Jersey who don't suck). But the 25% of you that are good need to show the other 75% some class.
@crossbones2776 lol,lok i just wana kno haw u niggas write. becaus than i cud pown my m8s
Look up the acoustic version to this song. Much easier to understand if you can't understand this version
culd u all guys tell meh all da words u can write lyke dis cuz i just wanna kno
Tupakkaukko no ugly
haha, i know, i was just kidding, that's why I spelled wulves wrong......sorry stupid joke, I know.
that's kevin costner, lol, wrong guy, bro
this was directed by the same guy who was in dances with wulves.
I understood your joke, i'm just saying haha
Apparently the joke went over your head. Oh well.
like he said.... dweeb...
Parts of this song remind me of Roll Of The Dice by Bruce Springsteen.
South Jersey> North Jersey.
Thumbs up if my "the same" what?
Brian's hair is always so perfect. I wish my hair would just sweep back like his. Instead it looks like I'm trying too hard to be cool. I'd go gay for that dude.
6 of the cast members are from New York. Pauly D is from Rhode Island. Only Sammy and Deena are from NJ...
agreed. The north jersey shores aren't that nice. Travel a hour below Seaside and you will see a ton of beautiful beaches.
Have you ever been to the Jersey Shore? I'm guessing you have since you dare write that comment. It's DISGUSTING. That is why that show is called Jersey Shore. Because everything about that show is disgusting, and so is where they come from. If the show was about New Jersey, it would be called New Jersey. Not Jersey Shore. I'm so fucking sick of comments like yours.
Saw these guys open for Rise Against in Montreal, and they were pretty damn good,
..or are u not allowed to mention Satan on youtube? but other stuff. Freedom of speech what?
Look at the damage: THIS WORLD SUCKED! Satan is bad. And soon? it's over.
Hey. Is that a little "BANKSY" at 2:36 ??
I feel so stupid now because a year ago I was a little dweeb and I am sorry for the worst top comment on the greatest band's video.
I think it was worth the wait :)
So much awesomeness!!!!
alex r is cuter then puppies. it's a proven fact.
NEW ALBUM IS OUT, I LOVE IT
sounds like Tom Gabel singing for Hot Water Music while covering Social Distortion.....
