The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound lyrics
[The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound lyrics]
Well, I wonder which song they're
Gonna play when we go
I hope it's something quiet
Minor and peaceful and slow
When we float out into the ether
Into the Everlasting Arms
I hope we don't hear Marley's
Chains we forged in life
'Cause the chains I been hearing now
For most of my life
And the chains I been hearing now
For most of my life
Did you hear the '59 Sound
Coming through on Grandmama's radio?
Did you hear the rattling chains
In the hospital walls?
Did you hear the old gospel choir when
They came to carry you over?
Did you hear your favorite
Song one last time?
And I wonder were you scared when
The metal hit the glass?
See, I was playing a show down the road
When your spirit left your body
And they told me on the front lawn
I'm sorry I couldn't go
But, I still know the song and the
Words and her name and the reasons
And I know 'cause we were kids
And we used to hang
And I know 'cause we were kids
And we used to hang
Did you hear the '59 Sound
Coming through on Grandmama's radio?
Did you hear the rattling chains
In the hospital walls?
Did you hear the old gospel choir when
They came to carry you over?
Did you hear your favorite
Song one last time?
Young boys, young girls
Young boys, young girls (Young boys)
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
(Young girls)
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
(Young boys)
Well, they ain't supposed to die
On a Saturday night (Young girls)
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
Did you hear the '59 Sound
Coming through on Grandmama's radio?
Did you hear the rattling chains
In the hospital walls?
Did you hear the old gospel choir when
They came to carry you over?
Did you hear your favorite
Song one last time?
Young boys, young girls
Young boys, young girls
Gonna play when we go
I hope it's something quiet
Minor and peaceful and slow
When we float out into the ether
Into the Everlasting Arms
I hope we don't hear Marley's
Chains we forged in life
'Cause the chains I been hearing now
For most of my life
And the chains I been hearing now
For most of my life
Did you hear the '59 Sound
