Gaslight Anthem, The - Boxer Lyrics
Got your pride and your prose
Tucked just like a Tommy gun
Somewhere in the smoke
Just in case you need it
Tucked just like a Tommy gun
Somewhere in the smoke, just in case you need it, son
I heard it's been a ride rougher than the last one
What'd you used to say? Oh, the harder they come
But he, he swears he's praying for a good time
And he, he said he just doesn't miss her
And I have heard you never really lose it, do you?
Do you?
Knowing that the beatings had to someday end
You found the bandages inside the pen
And the stitches on the radio
But there was something heavy holding you down
And there were whispers that were driving you crazy
And now you haunt the heart of this town
Remember when I knew a boxer, baby
And your tattooed knuckles, oh how they grind down
Try to be a man, tough just like your father
Try to settle down, more like c-calm down
Remember them songs and the reasons we were singing for
But he said he just doesn't miss her
And he, he says it's somewhere in his framework
And I have heard you never really lose it, do you?
Do you?
You took it all gracefully on the chin
Knowing that the beatings had to someday end
You found the bandages inside the pen
And the stitches on the radio
But there was something heavy holding you down
And there were reasons that were driving you crazy
Until you haunt the heart of this town
Remember when I knew a boxer, baby
And you can wait all night long
Until it all goes wrong
And you waste away your soul
And you can wait, wait, wait, wait
You took it all gracefully on the chin
Knowing that the beatings had to someday end
You found the bandages inside the pen
And the stitches on the radio
But there was something heavy holding you down
And there were whispers that were driving you crazy
And now you haunt the heart of this town
Remember when I knew a boxer, baby
Remember when I knew a boxer, baby

I just discovered the band few weeks ago, and I can tell you it is one of the most beautiful discover I ever done!! And Boxer is my favorite song!! Thank you The Gaslight Anthem to make some so good music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe it's been 6 years :/ how time flies. I'm gonna watch this again in five more years, anyone else?

@138chuvok with a big mouldy pineapple too.
My favourite song from American Slang.
I have to say, I can listen to this for hours and never tire of it.
Brilliant, as are all songs by The Gaslight Anthem.
as an avid music fan and a writer/poet, the line "You found bandages inside the pen/And the stitches on the radio" mean a lot to me personally
strayebyrd I thought it was some fighter leaving stitches on the radio, after he said he wasn’t boxing anymore
this is so fucking adictive!
best song off the album! i love it
