Rollin' And Tumblin' Lyrics

I don't think I'm goin' out anymore
You better find some other body to comfort.
When I was trembling baby you was a diamond,
But you ain't a diamond no more.

So what you wanna say is my head is a hurricane
Well l-l-l-let me sleep on that, uh huh, alright.
You say I'm hopelessly devoted to misery
Well I don't wanna be so devoted no more, aw yeah

And all of my friends wanna get into heaven
And all I keep thinkin' is "I wish you were here"
I heard that they been callin' me "The Great Depression"
Rollin' And Tumblin', breakin' my own heart again

Shimmy shimmy shake baby right in my blood stream
I don't know what it was that got in my room.
My ticker-tape heart broke and everything shook in here
But I learned it could be worse.

So what you wanna say is my head is a weather-vane
Spinning with the wind chime, right.
Baby I was born on the fourth of July,
Exploding like a firework, aw yeah

And all of my friends wanna get into heaven
And all I keep thinkin' is "I wish you were here"
I heard that they been callin' me "The Great Depression"
Rollin' and tumblin'

And all of my friends wanna get into heaven
And all I keep thinkin' is "I wish you were here"
I heard that they been callin' me "The Great Depression"
Rollin' and tumblin'

So should I take everything, all your temporary medicines?
Should I take your reds, your blues, and your cocaine?
Should I take something to try on the weekend?
Should I take anything, or did you mean everything?
When I hit the wall, wrecked from it all
You put flowers down on the cold ground
And cry me a river
And assure me I'm crazy
While you question the answers
And then you lean on my best friends
Until you find better weather
And you take a vacation
I hope you got all my letters
Signed "The Great Depression"
Baby rollin' and tumblin'

Brian Fallon sings here: "You say I'm hopelessly devoted to misery. But I don't want to be devoted anymore." Radio.com asked him if he thought hope could be punk? The Gaslight anthem frontman replied: "I think so. If you look at some of the bands when I was growing up, take The Clash. 'Stay Free'? I think that's a very hopeful song."

"Early hardcore stuff, the melodic stuff that was coming out in our neck of the woods and Oregon, was actually really positive," Fallon continued. "'This is trouble, but it's not gonna hold me down.' Almost like a soul message, from the '60s. That real self-power thing. And for me, it also comes out of gospel music. I don't know if it's punk, but it's definitely where I'm coming from. And that line was like, 'I'm just sick of being miserable.' The Hell with this! Enough!"
