Well I spent all my money on a pack of cigarettes
For a lady that I love with the name I forget
That night I taught her how to laugh
She taught me how to slow dance
I tried to take her home she said you don’t stand a chance
I’m the closest thing my mother had, to a daughter
I used to be ashamed of that but now I’m kind of flattered
I learned that my weakness is a weapon anyway
So I haven’t touched a pretty thing in 40 days
Everything is alright
If only for the night
I forgot what it feels like
I said I had a dream that I couldn’t understand
It made me happy, sad, love, lonely and I don’t know what I had
A few too many favours from a few to many fake friends
I wake up in the afternoon and do it all again
Yeah, I punched a man on his wedding night
I’m still trying to figure out how to apologize
I learned that morning I can’t fix nothing anyway
So I haven’t touched a pretty thing in 40 days
Everything is alright
If only for the night
I forgot what it feels like
Everything is alright
If only for the night
I forgot what it feels like
(Can you feel it baby)
(I can feel it baby, I feel it coming through)
Everything is all right
If only for the night
I forgot what it feels like
Everything is alright
If only for the night
I forgot what it feels like
I spent all my money on a pack of cigarettes
For a lady that I love with the name I forget
And I learned that morning I can’t fix nothing anyway
So I haven’t touched a pretty thing in 40 days
If you put The Gaslight Anthem, Against Me!, and Glorious Son's on tour together I would seriously drop everything and follow the whole damn tour. Who's with me?
Going through the most difficult time in my life with husband and our daughter.
I’ve been so close to really giving up, ending my life... it’s been so hard... hearing those words “everything’s alright” from this song... I broke down at a stop on the way home from work. I just balled, It all came out.
This song FUCKING SAVED ME... IS saving me.
EDIT: I’ve heard of a saving grace, I believe this song is mine...
I was having a really bad day, in a very bad part of my life. I was crying and I turned on the radio. This song came on. When I heard the lyrics « Everything is alright » it calmed me down a little, and now, whenever I feel anxious and sad, I play this. It brings me back to that time but it helps me so much because Everything will be alright
TGS FOREVER!!! I remember meeting them in Barrie when they had Three Days Grace close for them ;) I told Brett that I loved their sound. He was appreciative and reached out for a handshake and I grabbed him and hugged him. Not bragging, just saying.
Actually I'm bragging and I tell everyone about it all the time.
20 years ago this tune would of been a smash hit, so sad the state of music nowadays(in my own opinion). Keep making songs like these and I'll keep buying your albums :)
Listening to this song and watching the video I feel it represents so many things, the line "closest my mother had to a daughter" and then the representation of tar and feathers being thrown on him, like what happened to gay people in the 1900's. The band is incredible and touches on so many topics and feelings that people are afraid to speak about. very proud of this band
Thanks so much Glorious Sons for songs like this and S.O.S. I’ve been going through things in life that nobody should ever have to go through...depression sucks, infidelity sucks, cancer sucks, and sometimes life just sucks...so many nights I’ve wanted to end it all, but then I find a song like this that helps me get through another day, another night, helping me to see a light at the end of the tunnel, to keep pushing forward. There’s been so many times I’ve reached the end of my rope, but songs like this help me get through the darkest moments in life and give me hope and strength to tie a knot in the end of my rope and keep going. So thank you, and keep writing songs like this because you never know who it may help.
