The Gaslight Anthem- Boomboxes and Dictionaries

Lyrics

I took a drive today, thought about you.
I thought about a friend who passed, and how much we just went through.
I saw the sun shine off the hood of a Cadillac,
I thought about some things I’d say, and some that I would take back.
I thought about how fortunate I feel to be alive.

And if you’re scared of the future tonight,
We’ll just take it each hour one at a time.
It’s a pretty good night for a drive,
So dry up those eyes, dry up those eyes.
Because the radio will still play loud,
Songs that we heard as our guards came down.
Like in the summertime when we first met,
I’ll never forget, and don’t you forget,
These nights are still ours.

I still love the way you smile.
I still love the ocean.
We should remember to slow down more often and maybe we will.
Theres a lotta good things coming our way right now,
A lotta bad has passed but we survived the breakdowns
All is forgiven, water under bridges now.

And if you’re scared of the future tonight,
We’ll just take it each hour one at a time.
It’s a pretty good night for a drive,
So dry up those eyes, dry up those eyes.
Because the radio will still play loud,
Songs that we heard as our guards came down.
Like in the summertime when we first met,
I’ll never forget, and don’t you forget,
These nights are still ours.

And if you’re scared of the future tonight,
We’ll just take it each hour one at a time.
It’s a pretty good night for a drive,
So dry up those eyes, dry up those eyes.
Because the radio will still play loud,
Songs that we heard as our guards came down.
Like in the summertime when we first met,
I’ll never forget, and don’t you forget,
These nights are still ours.

It should be out considering Sink or Swim was their first full-length. Try finding an underground music store, that was atleast what I had to do, but then again they also had The 59 Sound and SeƱor and the queen (their first album, an EP)

Who determines the pronunciation guides that make it into our American dictionaries?

Take for example the word "crepe". It is a French word and is pronounced "krep". What kind of moron added the same word to the English dictionary under the pronunciation of "krayp"?

But the english crepe doesn’t have the same meaning as the french one. In french, it means a certain dessert. In american english, it means "I’m an american tourist, feel free to rip me off while giving me a certain dessert", hence the difference in the pronunciation! :-)
