Gaslight Anthem, The - I Coulda Been A Contender Lyrics
I'm broke and I'm hungry, I'm hard up and I'm lonely
I've been dancing on this killing floor for years
And of the few things I am certain, I'm the captain of my burden
I'm sorry doll, I could never stop the rain
You would dance with me on a dime
We could spin this world right right right round
And catch back up on the flip side
I was gonna get this real big engine
I was gonna get them Broadway stars
You were gonna be my Judy Garland
We were gonna share your tin man heart
There's a dirty wind blowin', there's a storm front comin' in
Steady now, steady now, soldier, hold fast now
It's heads or tails and heart attacks and broken dreams tonight
We used to drive all night
All over town
We'd go waltzing Matilda
When Matilda came around
I sang them blues to you
There's a dirty wind blowin', there's a storm front comin' in
There's an SOS on the seas tonight
Steady now, steady now, soldier, hold fast now
It's heads or tails and heart attacks and broken dreams tonight
There's a dirty wind blowin', there's a storm front comin' in
There's an SOS on the seas tonight
Steady now, steady now, soldier, hold fast now
It's heads or tails and heart attacks and broken dreams
And heart attacks and broken dreams
Atlantis is my only dream tonight

always loved gaslight anthem
hell yea duck lol
thank you for sharing!
My fa riot band and I don't live to far from them I live in north west MARYLAND
Blown away after first listen. Pleas get back to your roots Gaslight, This album freaking rocks
Opened with this in Belfast last week.
I was there! Savage gig. Shame they never played Dance
awesome jam, althought I would've went with "sailor" instead of "soldier"... but thats just like my opinion man.
Fuck yeah big lebowski
"Coul'da"
This is one of those songs that makes me wish I had written it. Swear.
i dont remember typing this. i'm actually not sure what a halifag is either.... weird...
a juvenile insult towards someone from Halifax, Nova Scotia?
Genius....WoopWoop
They played this when i went to see them in Edmonton. Great concert.
says the halifag.
these guys are top.
Obvious troll is obvious.
omg these guys suck nuts
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!
@exyanksfan3 I'll take care of it... Don't worry.
My favorite driving song. You can't listen to it without cranking up the volume.
the two people that disliked this video should be shot
I want this album so badly it hurts.
AWESOME SONG!!
Truly Amazing
those 2 dislikes are justin biber fans and yea i misspelled his name
@TheLimo64
haha yeah same, I think I have seen just about all of the Gaslight Anthem Vids jks, but I know I have seen/ commented on a fair few, and good 2 talk 2 you thanks man... xD
@Chrazzari Just realized, I'm talking to you on the Patient Ferris Wheel video aswell :P
@TheLimo64
ok thanks man...
@Chrazzari I'd start with Diamond Church Street Choir, or anything else from American Slang to get her into the band- then she'll start to like the old stuff :D hope that helps man :)
How do I get a girl to love this magic (inbox me or reply) whe likes pop :(, so what songs should I start with..
right now this is my favourite song. could also become an alltime fav. dirty american poetry.
It's heads or tails on heart attacks and broken dreams tonight.
@shmalpie great idea man haha
on the waterfront reference FTW
@shmalpie well thank you very much. my ipod has died on me, so don't have anything to listen to with my headphones. that sounds just about right.
Looked up the lyrics... "Always singin the blues to you"
@lostcausedontgiveup I never even was able to hear it without my headphones on. With them on, I can hear him. He's saying "singing the blues to you" I believe.
By God I love this song... makes me want to blast it while going on a midnight drive down the coast in my hometown...
does anyone know what the voice whispering at the two minute mark says? something about the blues?
GASLIGHT ANTHEM RULESSS!!! I want to see them LIVE
He sounds quite a lot like Blake Schwarzenbach in this. I like it.
hope their next album is just as good as the last two
chorus is amazing, and when the drums come in... hell yeah. One of my favorite songs of their's for sure, I was stoked when they played it in Regina 2 months ago!
Well I guess I have to take it back because they performed really well at Dour Festival last Saturday. It was great!
he didn't meet your expectations you mean? how much "should he have" impressed you?
safe to say gaslight anthem have never written a bad song and i doubt they ever will
i actually don't mind this description... though the killers have nothing on them, they do sound similar in some cases. and i can see what you mean with the rise against. nice.
They almost have the same voice if you listen to them, so that's were it;s based on mostly. I've got nothing with Bruce saw him last week at Pinkpop Festival, didn't impress me as much as he should. Gaslight Anthem didn't even move one inch with their performance even tough their livesound was great.
i'm sorry but the killers aren't a patch on these guys!! it's more like the missing link between Bruce Springsteen and Rise Against
Two words.... Fucking Brilliant.
The missing link between The Killers and Rise Against in my opinion
Already a huge band, in my book.
you are like a prophet of the obscure
