I Coul'da Been A Contender - The Gaslight Anthem

I’m broke and I’m hungry

I’m hard up and I’m lonely

I’ve been dancing on this killing floor for years

Of the few things that I am certain

I’m the captain of my burden

I’m sorry doll, I could never stop the rain

Once you said I was your hero

You would dance with me on a dime

We could spin this world right, right, right round

And catch back up on the flipside

I was gonna get this real big engine

I was gonna get them Broadway stars

You were gonna be my Judy Garland

We were gonna share your tin man heart

There’s a dirty wind blowing

There’s a storm front coming in

There’s an SOS on the seas tonight

Steady now, Steady now

Soldier hold fast now

It’s heads or tails on heart attacks and broken dreams tonight

We used to drive all night, all over town

We’d go Waltzing Matilda, when Matilda came around

(And I always sang them blues… to you)

There’s a dirty wind blowing

There’s a storm front coming in

There’s an SOS on the seas tonight

Steady now, Steady now

Soldier hold fast now

It’s heads or tails on heart attacks and broken dreams tonight

There’s a dirty wind blowing

There’s a storm front coming in

There’s an SOS on the seas tonight

Steady now, Steady now

Soldier hold fast now

It’s heads or tails on heart attacks and broken dreams tonight

There’s a dirty wind blowing

There’s a storm front coming in

There’s an SOS on the seas tonight

Steady now, Steady now

Soldier hold fast now

It’s heads or tails on heart attacks and broken dreams

On heart attacks and broken dreams

Atlantis is my only dream tonight
