Lyrics The Gaslight Anthem

The Gaslight Anthem

I'da Called You Woody, Joe

I was crawling around in my head in the haze of a trance

Rico said, "I'ma turn you onto a sound, cool out your head

This is the sound from Camden town"

And then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain

I felt my fingertips tingle, and it started to rain

When the walls of my bedroom were trembling around me

This ramshackle voice over attack of a blues beat

Telling me, "He's only looking for fun"

And this was the sound, of the very last gang in town

As heard by my wild young heart

Like directions on a cold, dark night

Saying, "Let it out, let it out, let it out, you're doing all right"

And I heard it in his chain gang soul

It wasn't just the same sad song

Saying, "Let it out, let it out, let it out, you're doing all right"

And I'm doing all right

Are you doing all right?

And I carried these songs as a comfort wherever I'd go

They was there when my summers was high

There when she left me alone

Saying, "The soul is hard to find"

And I never got to tell him, so I just wrote it down

I wrapped a couple chords around it and I let it come out

When the walls of my bedroom were trembling around me

This ramshackle voice over attack of a blues beat

And a girl, on the excitement gang

And this was the sound, of the very last gang in town

As heard by my wild young heart

Like directions on a cold, dark night

Saying, "Let it out, let it out, let it out, you're doing all right"

And I heard it in his chain gang soul

It wasn't just the same sad song

Saying, "Let it out, let it out, let it out, you're doing all right"

And are you doing all right?

Are you doing all right?

As heard by my wild young heart

Like directions on a cold, dark night

Saying, "Let it out, let it out, let it out, you're doing all right"

And I heard it in his chain gang soul

It wasn't just the same sad song

Saying, "Let it out, let it out, let it out, you're doing all right"

And are you doing all right?

And that was the sound

I hear the sound

Do you hear the sound?

I hear the sound

Of the very last gang in town
