Gaslight Anthem, The - Casanova, Baby! Lyrics






Do you hear that whistle wail?
I think the end is comin' in
I'm a whole lot worse for wear
But I'm determined to slip this skin

And I know you're dyin' for a good time
I'm dyin' to breathe again
Oh my, my Virginia

We could run all night and dance upon the architecture
Come and take my hand, I'll give the very best I can
But boy, I still want to be your man
I'm still these nervous feet and heart of stone
Forget this dead man's town, I'll take you home

Do you hear me late at night?
Always pickin' at the pieces
Sometimes nothin' comes out right
And nothin' is relievin'

But every soul man's song
Is a night I'd like to spend with you
Just twistin' the night away

But it's past quarter to three
And it's past the midnight hour
Mustang Sally's left the building
And we're so much worse without her

If I could put down this old hammer
I'd take you somewhere new
Oh my, my Virginia

We could run all night and dance upon the architecture
Come and take my hand, I'll give the very best I can
But boy, I still want to be your man
I'm still these nervous feet and heart of stone
Forget this dead man's town, I'll take you home

Oh my, my Virginia

We could run all night and dance upon the architecture
Come and take my hand, I'll give the very best I can
But boy, I still want to be your man
I'm still these nervous feet and heart of stone
Forget this dead man's town, I'll take you home

Gaslight Anthem, The Casanova, Baby! Comments
  1. f.... 1....

    This is one of them songs I love listening to during my long runs and skate sessions

  2. C.... P....

    what a great album !!

  3. M.... L....

    The music video to this would be a rockabilly swing dance.

  4. K.... ....

    I noticed a lot of argument over The Killers VS Gaslight Anthem in the comments; I personally love both bands. Gaslight Anthem's singer [argg cant remember his name] has a great, unique voice and THE GUITAR PLAYING IS AMAZING, but The killers is also a great band with plenty of awesome songs. Also, both are great for different reasons, Gaslight Anthem has a cool classic feel I can't describe, tough. They're definitely a unique band ;3

  5. M.... T....

    I wholeheartedly endorse this product or artist

  6. N.... g....

    Saw them in 2010 in Gainesville with someone I loved. The memories are bittersweet.

  7. C.... M....

    FUCKING AMAZING SONG! JODER!! KE LA PONGOP DE NUEVO!!!

  8. S.... M....

    saying there better then against me is an opinion I like them more and think they're better because I relate and feel his lyrics more but that's !y opinions saying one band is better them another is like saying one food is better than another its what you like and your taste (pun intended)

    S.... M....

    dude, that's right, I can say that actually I know this band thanks to against me, I love both.The gaslight anthem is pretty amazing, but I feel a different style between them to compare them.

  9. S.... ....

    To say that they are better than Against Me! is a stretch. But they are fucking great.

    S.... ....

    Lol the Exploited are better than Against Me. Posers.

  10. B.... ....

    I can't explain why, but I always imagine myself swing dancing with that special someone whenever I listen to this song. I don't even know how to swing dance...

    B.... ....

    I swing and this my favorite band ever....it's amazing! :)

    B.... ....

    Right on!!!

  11. N.... C....

    cool song

  12. N.... ....

    why thank god? thank them...

  13. z.... f....

    Doing my swing dance routine to this song in december stoked !

  14. J.... C....

    Probably my favorite song ever.

  15. v.... ....

    best gaslight song! period!

  16. M.... N....

    where has this band been all my god damn life...amazing music...shiver down the spine kinda stuff.

  17. E.... P....

    why in gods fucking name is there a god forsaken katy perry commercial on here

  18. K.... S....

    4 people don't know real music.

  19. M.... ....

    @mrsprice1994 Woops, I accidentally disliked instead of liked...sorry! D:

  20. P.... ....

    Maybe they brainwashed me into an architects course 0_0

  21. O.... ....

    The music came on and I instantly liked them. Yay for discovering a new band and liking them on the first song.

  22. A.... S....

    @Daveisthefreakingman In this day and age these bands dont come along every day, thank you GOD!!!

  23. M.... G....

    great song!!!

    this is my cover watch?v=frR-pzk0lLw

  24. S.... L....

    when i heard this song on the t.v earlier today, i alomost cried! i was so happy to finnally here these guys..even if it was a dumb comercial ;'D
    Love TGA!~ <3

  25. g.... ....

    "I still wanna be your man. I'm still these nervous feet and heart of stone."

    Takes balls to say.

  26. J.... S....

    You can't compare them to The Killers... that is except for one song... All These Things That I've Done. Probably my favorite Killers song, but they only have one... The Gaslight Anthem rocks my socks everytime

  27. r.... ....

    saw them live, theyre really good

  28. S.... ....

    4 days to go! I am going to see them at Pinkpop, can't bloody wait :)

  29. I.... F....

    You know, I've heard people compare this band to the likes of The Clash, Bruce Springsteen and Hot Water Music, but I will never understand how anyone could ever compare these guys to The Killers.

    I.... F....

    Ian Fleming this album is exactly what the killers were trying to make with Sams town. I think that's where the comparison comes from but killers got it wrong and gaslight got it right

  30. L.... D....

    Stop comparing bands. The killers are different, have a different tone and style, and Bandon Flowers is legendary. What are you actually talking about, no passion or intensity? You know nothing. The Gaslight are also fucking awsome, and Brian Fallon is godlike, but the Killers are far closer to them than your label of 'generic pop band.' Now shutup the hell up, and enjoy the quality music. (Bam, you just got told by a 15 year old girl.)

  31. M.... ....

    How can anyone not like this song?!

  32. M.... B....

    they remind me of the cure meets social distortion

  33. R.... M....

    @ako2662 check out their website for updated tour dates, also brian fallon is involved with a new band The Horrible Crowes, they are supposed to have some material out soon too

  34. A.... C....

    @ssyoshitaco this is either the best or worst sarcasm ever...

  35. G.... ....

    @FeltesVids im a huge fan of both as well and i think they both have their own unique sound ... they should tour together :)

  36. O.... ....

    @jrdngc61 Fan of both and I have a hard time hearing it :3

  37. P.... ....

    @UnosDosTres: These guy play rock for one reason. They have fucking freaking fun on stage. see them playing with "The Boss" Here: /watch?v=Ul0XCTeJx_o see bruce smiling at brian. and see them playing and singing with full emotion. Which other band, i tell them newcomers cuz they play not really long together, which other band has so much fun?!? The killers? all that mainstream suckers?

  38. s.... ....

    One of my favourite GLA songs :)

  39. A.... ....

    these guys are soooooo underrated here in Canada, but wow I LOVE THIS BAND!!

  40. D.... A....

    A rockband with solid music, meaningful lyrics, and consistently good songs. Thank you God.

  41. j.... ....

    haha yea man just an expression, middle class doesn't really mean what it used to

  42. e.... ....

    @w0359529 its like a cross between the killers and bruce springsteen

  43. j.... ....

    Im not gonna say shit about any other band, all I'm gonna say is that this band, this song, are fuckin incredible in every way, and that if you are any sort of middle class working person i feel like you are destined to love this band

  44. T.... C....

    the killers doest suck they are good but taylor is better for me

  45. d.... ....

    Despite what style of music your prefer, I don't see how you could objectively say that Brandon Flowers doesn't have as good a voice. I think he's got a much stronger vocal register and wider range than Brian Fallon, but Brian is still a damn amazing singer.

  46. B.... W....

    ok so the drum intro definitely brought an imgine of Sweet - Ballroom Blitz

  47. N.... O....

    well said

  48. k.... o....

    how can people even compare the killers to gaslight anthem.
    im sorry but killers suck .
    brian fallon has a voice to die for.

  49. G.... C....

    Nice band.
    I agree that Killers is better, but Kings of Leon really are the best from the post-strokes stuff.

  50. O.... ....

    Now ladies, you are both right.

    Both bands are excellent, sound wise, lyrics wise etc.

    The Killers got this slightly more "up in the blue" sound to them (see Spaceman amongst others) while GA are more down to earth. GA sings about more real things, and they do it damn fine. The Killers on the other hand are, as I said, more up in the blue, tad crazier and their lyrics are entertaining to analyze. But GA has one of the best voices I've heard in a long time.

  51. I.... A....

    you're taking the piss, right? The killers are a generic pop band, Brian Fallon actually knows how to write a song - I unfortunately saw the killers live at a festival about 4 years back and it basically sounded like they put their cd in and mimed with absolutley no passion or intensity (I know they didn't but it was extremely boring) - the gaslight have a much better more real sound live, I hate how people compare Fallon to that Bono wannabe from The Killers.

  52. f.... ....

    I Instead of many unnecessary question and exclamation marks you could've said something intelligent to contradict the other user or to back up the point that you didn't end up making.
    However you did not, you suck, and he's a shit- ton of a better critic than you are.

  53. A.... ....

    does anyone know where i can cet the chords for this song?....all i can find is the tab for the solo

  54. p.... m....

    Hopefully the rumors of them playing lolla are true

  55. p.... m....

    defintly a great use in this context

  56. C.... ....

    The Killers are awesome but these guys are better. The lyrics to EVERY SONG on this cd are amazing and their sound is better than the Killers'. Kinda like Social Distortion mixed with Bruce Springsteen

  57. l.... ....

    Agreed. I just saw them in Columbus and they were amazing. The best new band I have heard in a decade if not longer.

  58. J.... Q....

    The Killers are a good band nothing more. The Gaslight Anthem are gonna be legends

  59. f.... ....

    im liking the use of >, massivley underused key!

  60. d.... l....

    okay he sounds nothing like the guy from the killers..they just use delay on their vocals when they were recorded..

  61. D.... ....

    That's actually pretty accurate. hahah.

  62. G.... S....

    get over yourself!!! who made you critic of the world???????

  63. f.... ....

    the bouncing souls if they had the bloke from the killers fronting them

  64. S.... ....

    nice man i was gonna post this but you beat me to it posted them awhile ago but forgot this amazing song my mistake.
