Gaslight Anthem, The - The Spirit Of Jazz Lyrics






The Cool is dead, baby, go on to sleep
Rest your weary head and love a better me
And in the morning we'll start over again
That's how they do it up on the screen

See me and my baby, we would dance all night
But I don't know the steps in my baby's time
To do it like they do it for the girls uptown
I heard they light 'em up like the blues

So I'm waiting
And she's waiting
For us to remember

Was I good to you, the wife of my youth?
Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do
So I will wait on the edges in between
These New York streets where you and I would meet

For twenty-nine years we loved that line
And I would take it easy if I had your mind
But I'm a cannonball to a house on fire
And you're slow like Motown soul

So what now, lover with your long black hair?
If I cut you open, baby, I can repair
Bandage your wounds with the salt on my tongue
And I'm the only one around here

And I'm waiting
And she's waiting
For us to recover

So was I good to you, the wife of my youth?
Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do
So I will wait on the edges in between
These New York streets where you and I would meet

And only I can heal your wounds
Only I can heal your wounds
When you can't go on, when you can't go on
When you can't go on, when you know, hold on

Was I good to you, the wife of my youth?
Not another soul could love you like my

Was I good to you, the wife of my youth?
Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do
So I will wait on the edges in between
And I will wait on the edges in between

And I will wait on the edges in between
These New York streets
On all these New York streets
Where you and I would meet

    The cool is dead, baby go on and sleep
    Rest your weary head and lover bury me
    And in the morning we'll start over again
    That's how they do it up on the screen

    But I don't know the steps In my baby's time
    To do it like they do it for the girls uptown

  17. 7.... ....

    My 6years daughter's favorite song !

    7.... ....

    7123nico I know this is random but I just read this and it made me realize your daughter is 12 now

    7.... ....

    She'd 16 -17 now and hope she still likes Brian and the GLA, couldn't pick a better musician for a child to learn an appreciation for music from. You never would have to answer the awkward questions like what's a GD MFer is. Brian is a world class performer with a G rating, something really hard to do in a world where vulgarity sales.

  18. H.... P....

    Awesome song

  19. D.... G....

    american slang is the best ive heard in years may the athem rock forever
