I´da Called You Woody, Joe

I´da Called You Woody, Joe

Gaslight Anthem (The)
(album: Sink Or Swim)

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 tremblin´ around me,
This ramshackle voice over attack of a bluesbeat,
Tellin´ me he´s only looking for fun.
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,
Sayin´, ´Let it out... You´re doin´ all right.´
And I heard it in his chain gang soul.
It wasn´t just the same sad song.
Saying, ´Let it out, you´re doing all right.´
And I´m doing all right, are you doin´ all right?

And I carried these songs like 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 trembled around me,
To this ramshackle voice over attack of a bluesbeat,
And a girl, on the excitement gang.
That was the sound of the very last gang in town.
