It is board walk talk....

in orphans- we were diamonds and naturals

In the beginning I thought it was "diamonds and nitrous". With a connection to all them car stories. Obivously... It's wrong!

"We were diamond sinatras."

At least, according to the album booklet.

I thought it was Boardwalk Talk, but then I doubted myself after your post and a couple of online sites had "boy won't talk" and I thought Hmmm, I've been wrong all this time. But i guess the consensus is "Boardwalk Talk". I like that better.

Yea, it has to be "boardwalk"

. I never sang "boy wont" until I saw it online. Silly me.

Hahaha, for the longest time I thought the end bit of Ferris Wheel was "World War II, in the dead of night"

Wherefore Art Thou, Elvis?: "my head's full of diapers"

A few months ago, when I was trying to find out the lyrics of 1930 (great song, especially acoustic) I found two versions, which are a little different.
One of these has been mis-heard at some parts.

http://www.lyricstime.com/the-gaslight-anthem-1930-lyrics.html
http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/the_gaslight_anthem/1930.html

Here are just a few examples of lines being different in the the lyrics.

1.Give me mercy and I need it now
versus
Give me mercy and a minute now

2.So here’s to you when you cried baby blues
versus
So here's to you and your bright baby blues

3.and this body’s just waiting to die
and I could listen sometimes
versus
That this body just weighted the tide
And that you missed him sometimes,

4.But hear the nights they will eat you alive
versus
But here the days will eat you alive

5.and I’m saying my goodbyes deeply wise
versus
So I'm saying my goodbyes to your deep blue eyes

6.but your aliveness just gets me tonight
versus
But your name just escapes me tonight

Well the 2nd one is obviously correct...

I always heard "My hands move mountains" which I think is an amazing lyric and it is a sentence I have used/will used in a song of my own : D

Kinda irrelevant but i always found this humourous

in here's looking at you kid, i always thought he said, "you remind nana...instead of anna...like grandma, nana..i was like wtf what does his nana have to do with this song" lol so sad

IT IS NOT NANA?!!???!! i always thought it was. because it's saying grandmothers worry, and she would ask about him. i guess not.

film noir
marlboro hips - monroe hips

In "Myles Davis and the cool" I always thought the line "Like poor mister pitiful" was "My apartment is pitiful", way off! There's definitely more, just can't think of them at the min

I've looked anywhere, but haven't been able to find the thread again (sorry admin).

Anyways, On Old White Lincoln (first Gaslight song I heard) I understood "You and your high-top sneakers and your seven tattoos"

Weird, but I guess because I had no idea what Brian looked like, and what the bands vibe was, I couldn't really work it out.

I only figured it out a year after I heard the song once I got it on Vinyl and listened to it whilst reading the lyrics.

"Who, who, who do does it better than we do, them sopranos in Amy Diamonds choir"

Amy Diamond is a "child star" from Sweden. Even after so many times listening to it I can't shake it outta my head.

Haha! I could totally see that. Surprised that I've never thought about that before. Also glad that I never did, feels like picturing Amy Diamond'
s choir would ruin the song a bit.
