Gaslight Anthem, The - Blue Dahila Lyrics
What a hot and sultry summer,
The steam just slides up off them streets
You gotta stay inside and wait for the night,
And then come on over and see me
There's a poetry about these streets,
And mama always knew I'd meet a girl like you,
But me, I never believed
Cause I've been so lonely I can't imagine that kind of sympathy [x2]
Where'd you get them scars?
How blue is your heart?
Is it sad enough to break?
She said, "it's sad enough to break"
How long was your life?
Are you man enough to lay here?
She said, "I'm man enough my baby, come see about me"
I had a dream about you once, and I could barely see your form
And I met you between the wax and the needle,
In the words of my favorite song
Your black hair was like a raven with your tan skin on the beach
Your backdrop were the auroras and my sidekick was all this grief
And I've been so low down, I'm almost level with the ground
Where'd you get them scars?
How blue is your heart?
Is it sad enough to break?
She said, "it's sad enough to break"
How long was your life?
Was it cold and strange like mine?
Are you man enough to lay here?
She said, "I'm man enough my baby, come see about me"
Did they take you to the carnival to get locked up on a ride?
Me, I got caught up with the fortune tellers
And the ladies with the sleepy eyes
It took years my baby just to come clean,
Every streetlight a reminder
And all those apologies
And the night was lonely next to me
Even the night was lonely next to me
Where'd you get them scars?
How blue is your heart?
Is it sad enough to break?
She said, "it's sad enough to break"
How long was your life?
Was it cold and strange like mine?
Are you man enough to lay here?
She said, "I'm man enough my baby, come see about me"
Come see about me, ah-ah
Come see about me,
Come see about me,
Come see about me, ah-ah
Come see about me, ah-ah
Whenever you're lonely

Gaslight Anthem, The Blue Dahila Comments
Wish I could double or triple like somehow
That intro makes me feel things I didn’t know I could feel 🤤🤤🤤
where`d you get them scars, how blue is your heart?.... this gets me in the feels,big time
What idiot made this a bonus track and not a lead single?

WHY DID GASTLIGHT ANTHEM BREAK :((((((( *cries*
Chris Stuper It's more a hiatus than a break up.
Chris Stuper they said they'd reform if/when they had something new to say. Brian,Alex,Alex, And Benny are still great friends and work together on solo projects.
Well....
The chorus is everything
Best song ever. Period
i love the lyrics he brian comes up with <3
Seriously, "I met you between the wax & the needle and the words of my favorite song" are just some really profound lyrics. What a brilliant song this is!!
Only after reading your comment did I finally realize that those lyrics were referring to old vinyl records and turntables... Thank you!!
Seong-Cheol Huh My fave Gaslight lyrics!! I had Brian handwrite them for me, and I got them tattooed 💜
In my top 5 Gaslight tunes, An absolute belter of a song and I could listen to it allday and never get bored, Genius.
Got a great song and potential hit recorded? Stick it on a stupid as fuck deluxe version instead of the actual album. Seems to be the unofficial motto of this band.
+DustyAndPistolPete Yeah dont know why they do the deluxe versions. comparable to what the gaming industry is doing nowadays.
DustyAndPistolPete it's not the bands call usually that's to record companies.
They did this with Get Hurt and it just upsets me.
Absolutely eargasmic
@Jenna Brunk depends on the ears
it took years my baby, just to come clean.
what REM/Nirvana references?
"Every street light our reminder" is a nod to R.E.M's Nightswimming. Get yourself a copy of Automatic For The People, Handwritten is virtually a tribute album, which is no bad thing.
There's no such thing as "real" or "unreal" music.
what if i just imagine the music so its not real and just in my head ?
It's pathetic how Justin Bieber gets 800,000,000 views, Gangnam Style gets 1,700,000,000 views, and this doesn't even have 30,000. It's about time people listened to real music
"Every streetlight, a reminder"
I know for sure, if I get at the age of 60/70/80 whateverr... I will rock on Gaslight Anthem !
I've made it (somehow) up to those ages and I'm definitely rocking on the TGA and Brian Fallon. Just wait till you see what the next 4 years will bring. It only dets better.
which part?
Thankfully they put this on the European deluxe version, and it just adds to a great album. Anybody else spot the nod to R.E.M. in this one?
BobdeBilde And is there a Nirvana one too?
These are probably the best lyrics Brian has ever wrote.
Should have been on the album
Oh fuck me this is good...Amazing!
his voice here kind of reminds me of sink or swim
cant understand how this song wasnt a single from the album
simply
i can't believe it was left from the album, it's so much better than it and is possibly their best song. the key change is amazing
amazing song, this band is out of this world.. will go down in the pages of history!!
This isn't on the album?wtf?!? It's their best ever song(maybe) love the REM/NIrvana references too.
it's a freaking crime this song didn't make it on to regular album!
Ah yeah, my bad. I assumed it was a cover because it was a bonus track along with the covers of Sliver and You Got Lucky, I just looked in the handbook that comes with the album and it is actually an original Gaslight song!
It's actually not a cover!
Who's it originally by?
robmeister222 the gaslight anthem
what a awesome song. i think it might be my favourite gaslight anthem song. the chorus is best described as audio ejaculation
