NOFX - I'm So Sorry Tony Lyrics
I've never known a better writer or a better guy
His songs wouldn't just touch you, they would punch you in the eye
It doesn't happen a lot when everybody has the same thought “He wasn't supposed to die”
So let's clank our beers and give three cheers for Tony Sly
His dying isn't tragic, it's a fucking catastrophe
I've lost my parents and so many friends, I chalk it c'est la vie
It's nothing like losing my friend Tony
Sometimes on weekends, when our kids hang out together
Keira tells Darla that her dad's songs are better
And I think she's sad, cause tomorrow she hopes her dad
Will be coming home, cause he told her that 3 years ago on the phone
Tony, you make me see myself in a way I don't wanna see
So I can be the father I know I can be?
All the endless nights we had, the 20 years of laughs
I've looked, but I can't find any photographs
Of us, because it's weird to take photos with your best friends
Cause you don't think that you'll never see them again
I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you when you needed me in the end
I was there to give your eulogy, but not when you needed a friend
And when they lowered your body into the ground even the piper began to cry
From coast to coast, let's raise our drinks and give a toast to Tony Sly

NOFX I'm So Sorry Tony Comments
Miss you Tony
The part about Keira still waiting for her dad to come home because he told her he would on the phone fucking kills me.
1:03 - 1:21 ~ one of the saddest lyrics in punk rock history
I know, man.... the part about Keira waiting for Tony fucking kills me.
tony and fat best friends of life baby
I've never cried so hard for no 1 but my dad and Tony sly. Dolores o'riordan was a close second
when the like button is just not enough...
I've lost both my brother and my best friend this year. I keep coming back to this and I uh. I don't know how to feel anymore.
2019 and it still hurts
Welp. Today is the day. R.I.P. Tony Sly.
Never forget
Damn :(
These days I get calls ab people who I used to listen to black flag with have killed themselves. Thanks fat mike for this song
I got a sticken in my eye
RIP Tony Sly RIP Ironman
This is a punk song and i f**king cried too
I'm not a fan of nofx anymore ..he fucked up Tony sly's tribute on purpose...he wears skirts and dresses .....nofx sounds like shit live
...
Fuck fat Mike
march 2019 ?
Fukkk. Nufan was my 1st show ever. Thk God I got to see them a bunch of times after. The whole band especially tony was just awesome. RIP tony sly. Still thinking about you in 2019
Man hits close to home. Lost my cousin over Heroin addiction the only thing good to come out of it was it helped me get clean. I miss you cousin it hurts so bad that I can’t call you! Sorry we fought the last time on the phone
this is 2019 and I still can't listen to the entire song without being overwhelmed by tears and sorrow. I like to believe Tony loves this song from up there. Best song ever written by Fat Mike, so simple and yet so true and poetic. Hats off to him for playing it live and not stop the show and go home and cry.
Vincent Clerc shit tears me up every time
The song mixed with the comments made me tear up. There is something about human empathy that I find to be the most beautiful. I hope to be able to empathize more as time goes on.
I'm so ashame, I was shame to listen "hard rock Bottom". The best tribute is to listen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfXmMyloKfU again and again
Same way my brother died 😩
ありがとう!トニー!!
Lloro de escuchar y lo extraño... Tony fue una inspiración en mi vida
Dad: Why are you crying so damn loud?
Tune 🤟🤟R.I.P tony, 👌👌💖💖😭 well done NOFX
people that dislike has no hearth
omg so sad
I loved that 'I'll see you on the outside' fade out with the female voice
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Oh shit final is better make my cry
Tony Sly you are such an important part of my teenage and growing up. Still remeber when no use for a name came out... Tony you unique... best writer evet
FUCKERS IN THE WORLD WHOEVER DISLIKE
This song, Tony... Punk will never be the same without you.
Wooo.... This is beautiful and touching.
6 years ago today,r.i.p.
About 20 years ago, I was listening to NOFX and NUFAN, even went to their gigs a few times when they toured in France (Bordeaux)... Shit... It's been 6 years Tony is dead and I didn't even know it. I feel bad, all those memories, surf sessions, youth, punk rock...
I already knew NOFX, but discovered NUFAN on m@king friends... I heard the introduction, I was hooked. On the outside of course, a great tune.
I was just thinking about them smoking my cigarette outside, felt the need to listen to "On the outside" again, enjoyed the tune but... Red the comments and discovered, so many years later that he was gone... And it's not gonna be alright, not for me, he's gone...
Chris Cornell last year, Prince, Rick Wright, wow... who will still be alive to do good music ?
C'mon Mike, keep on rocking.
Fuck everyone who have thumbs down!!!
A year a half later and I can’t listen to this without crying 😢
RIP Tony Sly, u already create many great song. you are one of the best a punk song writer in the world
you wanna talk about art....
I first heard NUFAN in the late 90's - Making Friends. Album changed my life. One of those bands that when you are going through a real bad time, they always make you feel better.I play International You Day every day on my guitar as a tribute to Tony, that is how much this man meant to me. Never met him but at times felt like my best friend. RIP Tony forever in our hearts and minds
well played
Guy got me through high school
2018 still loose my shit every time i hear this song play :( RIP Tony
RIP cheers to the lucky. Death is our only promise.
congratulations to all the asshole companies trying to plug makeup and perfume before this masterpiece. You. Assholes. Wasted. Every. Penny. Rest in peace Tony, thanks for everything, long live Fat Mike, NOFX, and No Use For a Name
Rip tony
So they were close, I didn't knew it if someone knows the history i like to read it.
Rip tony
esta banda me recuerda a mi mas grande amor yo lo amo y por él conocí esta banda y esta canción es especial lo amo y aunque este con otra siempre lo amare
Ahh the shivers when you hear Tony say bye bye :'(
My very good buddy Cory B. passed away October 21st, 2016. I lost a very dear friend just like they boys in NOFX did. He was a man that helped others..he was a in the medical field. He was a great, great man....This is a very touching tribute..and resonates with me in a very harsh, sad and beautiful way. I love you so much, brother. And I've very sorry that I could not save you that night. I'm glad we spent your last moments together. But I am still hurting almost one year later and wish very much you were still here enjoying this beautiful life...So let's clank our beers..and give three cheers. To Cory B. Much love, brother. I miss you so much.
Cheesiest Bullshit talking ever. I fuckin hate Fat Mike, if he would have been he immediately would have taken into Rehab or Hospital cause he looked sick as fuck.
FUCK TONY :_(
fat Mike sentimental?!?! Tony sly ur a fuckin god
TONY'S NOT DEAD! HOW CAN I forget You in Bologna? One of The greatest show of my fuckin' Life! NUFAN/RANCID/NOFX... I saw NOFX at least 10 times... (TEEN IDOLS/HI-STANDARD/NOFX - Bologna), I saw Casualties, Ramones in '96, Exploited, BUZZCOCKS (with NOFX), BAD RELIGION, GOOD RIDDANCE, LAG WAGON, OFFSPRINGS, JOE STRUMMER &THE MESCALEROS, THE CRAMPS etc. But Tony, NUFAN, was absolutely one of the best (shortly after 'Making friends').
Best part of the song is the Cinder Block "Outside" sample.
The photo part is so true, I only have a couple with my best bud who dies two years ago. I sing it with alternate lyrics so it has his name, but it still makes me tear up. RIP Tony, so long and thanks for all the songs. :-)
Cheers guys! FOR TONY SLY!
I never expected something like this from NOFX...but it kicks ass and breaks heart...fucking awesome song
What about me who didnt want to take a photograph with Tony Sly in Brazil, just because that time i thought people who plays in a band dont do these kinds of things
15 people disliked this because they can't face the fact that Tony is gone...I understand...R.I.P Tony

“because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. no matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment.”
― Sarah Dessen
Fuck, this song sucks. And tony sly only made one good record, what's fat mike talking about?
thebarrochannel Where is your music at champ? Since you have so much input on other artists material.
case closed.
Its coming. I'll keep you posted.
The X Nyles In all honesty, I hate this come back. For example, you don't need to be a chef in order to tell me whether or not you like certain dishes right? I don't agree with the dudes opinion but that's his right.
TheLozo23 Have a good life Sir!
Lol. Bulls Eye.
My god why tony!!! why????????????????????
weeeell fuck i'm crying now
the feels...
all the feels
R.I.P. Tony. your work will continue to influence and inspire for generations to come. Thanks for all the good times and unforgettable memories.
best song of nofx
Please, stop cutting onions beside me.
this song came out right after my best friend of 20 years passed away....the last 2 verses make me fucking tear up every time.
Farewell Tony,and rest in peace. We'll always remember you and honor your memory. If only you were here still with all of the fans.
Who else cried?
me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got something stickin in my eye
I'm crying right fuckin' now
the song that makes you cry
I never thought I'd ever get choked up to a nofx song...
Johnny Hellcat have you heard orphan year????
Whoops I od'd?
Doornails
Try listening to a nufan song
listen to all "International you day" versions, specially this one https://youtu.be/Dt-sgbwUNiQ
when I listened to this song I was in tears.... SO EMOTIONAL SONG... I can't stop my tears...
Honestly, why did anyone dislike this? I hope whoever did didn't mean to. This is too perfect and tragic. R.I.P Tony Sly <3
Because fat Mike fucked yo Tony sly's tribute on purpose
Probably just some religious nuts and or terrotist
I can't get through the first verse without cracking my voice and getting a lump in my throat.
RIP Tony
He was the best
I'm not crying at work, you're crying at work!
I'm totally crying at work
I cried when Tony said "Bye Bye"
I'm too bro
so touching
Awesome tribute! Tony will be always in our hearts. Cheers from Peru.
