The Gaslight Anthem - Teenage Rebellion

And in the first year of my former life
I was 17 and a wildfire burning
If I stretched out my hands I was convinced I could conjure angels
And yeah I was pretty sure she was bulletproof
At least I never saw anybody ever get to you
You used to wonder all the time if you made it,
on to the point of a ritual,
to the point of a ritual
And I used to die every night
All in your honor,
in your honor, oh, in your honor
While you were gone,
While you were gone
And in the last hours before the sunrise
I'm not sure if I passed out or closed my eyes
I woke into a dream where I know I knew,
somebody had just got their claws in you
And your breath heaves in silent anythings,
like a subconscious ritual
And I used to die every night
All in your honor,
in your honor, oh, in your honor
While you were gone,
While you were gone
And if you're gonna break my heart, it might as well be tonight
And if you're gonna break my heart, it might as well be tonight
I used to die every sweet, sweet night
All in your honor
And I used to die every night
All in your honor,
in your honor, oh, in your honor
While you were gone,
While you were gone
All in the throws of rebellion
In the throws of rebellion
In the throws of rebellion

The piano steals the soul. Damn, I can't believe I haven't payed attention to this song before.

[@imstar69]

this amazing song should have been on the album. it is just phenomenal. Love handwritten already but this track would have made it guaranteed top 10 best albums of 2012. (Not that Handwritten isn't in the running, but this would have been the clincher)

[@Zavien99]

why wasnt this song on the general release.... its beyond amasing

[@jaysunlickaraisin]

[@jenniferpalmer1940]

[@achrisdc]

It's an "Amazon Exclusive" Bonus Track

[@willshogren2232]

Still stunning.

[@TenSuns1914]

Incredible

[@achrisdc]

It's an original track by The GLA

[@kimurafrank]

yeah it's pretty damn stupid...releasing 10s of different packages. it smells like "label" issues...
they have release different packages in the uk, german and usa... some came with prints, with special shirts, with a pendant, a photobook, some signed...etc etc etc...
and then 3 different CD RELEASE
regular one, deluxe package...and now noticed amazon had an extra track as well..
VERY LAME
why should hardcore fans really buy 3 different cds...
i already bought the lp, and the cd..

Our roots go deep.

[@AbdulRashid-do7yp]

Tin Pan Alley is a Brian Fallon's song
