If I remember correctly, Sheila was Billy's mom. And she died before he made the album. Not sure. |

| The Gaslight Anthem – The '59 Sound Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
All right, after reading all this over. I THINK I have a pretty good idea about what this means. I find that beardown247 gave the best input out of pretty much everybody; And I wonder which song they're going to play when we go (Self explanatory; he wonders what song they are gonna play when he dies) I hope it's something quiet, mannered, peaceful, and slow (He hopes the song is nice, one that he enjoys) When we float out into the ether into the everlasting arms (When he floats to heaven and into gods arms) I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life (This has been explained 1000 times; he hopes his mistakes and his regrets dont haunt him) Because the chains I've been hearing now for most of my life (His "Chains" (regrets and mistakes) have been haunting him for his living...life o.O And the chains I've been hearing for most of my life (See above) Did you hear the '59 sound coming through on Grandmama's radio? (Music from the 50's? He remembers when he used to listen to the "59 Sound" that used to play through his grandma's radio) Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls? (Did your regrets haunt you in the hospital, in the bed?) Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over? (Did you hear the choir as they sung at your funeral?) Did you hear your favorite song one last time? (Self explanatory; did you hear your favorite song? We played it for you because we know how much you like it.) And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass (Uuuuh, maybe the dude was shot? Was he scared when the bullet went through the window) See I was playing a show down the road when your spirit left your body (lol, again self explanatory) And they told me on the front lawn, I'm sorry I couldn't go (This line eludes me :/) But I still know the song and the words and the name and the reasons (Same as above) And I know because we were kids and we used to hang (He was his friend) And I know because we were kids and we used to hang (See above) Did you hear the '59 sound coming through on Grandmama's radio? (Repeat) Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls? (Repeat) Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over? (repeat) Did you hear your favorite song one last time? (repeat) Young boys . . . young girls (????) Young boys . . . young girls (????) Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night (he wasnt supposed to die on that saturday night) Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday (Same) Well they ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night (Repeat) Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night (Repeat) Did you hear the '59 sound coming through on Grandmama's radio? (Repeat) Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls? (Repeat) Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over? (Repeat) Did you hear your favorite song one last time? (Repeat) Young boys . . . young girls (Repeat) Young boys . . . young girls (repeat) wow, I guess I really didnt understand the whole song. But I got the gist of it. Its an amazing song, you dudes have done a good job at helping me understand it! |
