AndrewW91 Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 I've been listening to it some more.. does anyone else hear: Aching hearts singing out of tune Only I'm just singing my verse ? I hear that too! Especially the second time that part comes up.
Devan Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 As for Last Gang In Town, I keep hearing this in the chorus..... (and sorry if it's already been posted.) No one loves you now Cuz you're the last gang in town I hear, "And there's no one left around cause they're the last gang in town" It seems pretty consistent every time he repeats the chorus.
DoodleBob Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 I hear, "And there's no one left around cause they're the last gang in town" It seems pretty consistent every time he repeats the chorus. I hear that too:) and after that I think he says: "And I can't even hear you" So, this is what we've got so far for 'Last Gang in Town': "And there's no one left around, 'cause they're the last gang in town, and I can't even hear you..." EDIT: And to end the chorus, Billie sings a word that rhymes with 'around', I''m thinking he's saying 'found'.
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 God, I hope its not about Amy Whinehouse... Why?
farley drexel hatcher Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 I just didn't like her Yeah that's a valid reason.
AnnaMon07 Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 If it is about Amy Whinehouse, 'Amy don't you go, I want you around' Why would he want her around? I dunno, the lyrics sound too personal.
in_your_face Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 you guys fucking rule, man. Your future is secure. You could atleast make a living.
Beathe. Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 The lyrics to Amy are so beautiful. Thank you so much for doing this. I'm very bad at making out lyrics myself.
Annie, get your gun Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 I would like to know who started the " 'Amy' it's about Amy Winehouse, etc" Because actually, we can't be that sure. I don't know what to think about it after all, but I don't see anything wrong if he wrote it for that reason. I first listened last night, and oh my god, it's just so beautiful. And the crappy sound makes it even more beautiful. Billie's voice is getting better with the years, he sounds so sweet... I love it. It makes me want a new record so desperately! And I could barely understand "Sweet 16" haha But somehow it was great!
Sixtrix Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 If it is about Amy Whinehouse, 'Amy don't you go, I want you around' Why would he want her around? I dunno, the lyrics sound too personal. I think it means kind of like, she was such a talented girl and she could have had huge career. Her talent will be greatly missed by many, and also by Billie. At least that's how I see it.
Tubbie Head Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 You don't really know... He might have been a fan, he might known her/ met her... Anyway he probably is sorry for her dying at such a young age (27) and dying for the reasons she did (as many other artists/non artists have). There's many reasons for Billie wanting to write a song about her and feeling sad even if he didn't personalty know her (I think any normal human being would).

blueboy Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Don't really wanna read the whole thread, but here are the Amy lyrics from greenday.com: Is your heart singing out of tune Are your eyes just singing the blues Dirty records from another time Some blood stains on your shoes No one really knows about your soul And I barely even know your name Burning rhythms and posting lies For a bunch of fools drown in shame Amy don't you go I want you around Singin' woah please don't go Do you wanna be a friend of mine? Did you tattoo a lucky charm To keep you out of harms way? Warding off all evil signs But it never really kept you safe You're too young for the golden age Cause the record bin's been replaced 27 gone without a trace And you walked away from your drink Is your heart singing out of tune Are you eyes just singing the blues? Dirty records from another time Some blood stains on your shoes May I have this last dance By chance if we should meet? Can you write me a lullaby? So we can sing you to sleep
Eldoon Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 God, the lyrics to Amy are so great. What a beautiful, beautiful song...
Catsername Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Don't really wanna read the whole thread, but here are the Amy lyrics from greenday.com: It's like they knew we were all trying to figure it out haha! They also posted this message along with it: Thanks everyone for coming out to the show Thursday night and supporting us and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. We have been in jamming and writing new songs for the last few months. It felt great to play these new Green Day songs live and share our "work in progress".. Stay tuned for more! Love green day "Stay tuned for more!" Can't wait!!
Hermione Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Oh wow so you've spent all this time working them out, and now Green Day have posted them. Maybe they saw this thread http://www.greenday.com/news/thank-you

**nobodylikesyou** Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Thanks Green Day♥ Amy Is your heart singing out of tune Are your eyes just singing the blues Dirty records from another time Some blood stains on your shoes No one really knows about your soul And I barely even know your name Burning rhythms and posting lies For a bunch of fools drown in shame Amy don't you go I want you around Singin' woah please don't go Do you wanna be a friend of mine?

alaniluau Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Reading the lyrics to Amy on the site, I felt like I had opened a book of turn of the century Romantic poetry. Billie's (I'm going to assume he was the primary lyricist) use of words is sublime. Each line has a mournful tone, yet the song as a whole seems more hopeful.

I love your explanations.
Malleus Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 The lyrics to Amy are really awesome. I think Billie is improving as a song writer and those lyrics are miles above 90% of 21st Century Breakdown in my opinion. Just keep getting more and more excited for the new album.
SnABb Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 very excited about the new stuff theses lyrics sound amazing but i havnt heard the sound yet :/
