"Here Comes My Man" as written by and Brian Fallon....
And how much time do you think that we have?
If I wanted to, I could start over again
Let the good night decide who she wants me to find
And I'll never let you drop another tear in my eye
Singing oh sha-la-la, oh sha-la-la
Listen honey here comes my man
Singing oh sha-la-la, oh sha-la-la
Listen honey here comes my man
Yeah
And all my life I never had a chance
Don't you think I knew about all your pretty girlfriends
But I waited for you, gave you time to decide
But you never saw it from anybody else's side
So I packed up my things and I faced up my doubts
You know I think I will grow my hair back out
Nevermind what you think
Nevermind what you like
I'll take it out to the streets for somebody else to admire
Singing oh sha-la-la, oh sha-la-la
Listen honey here comes my man
Singing oh sha-la-la, oh sha-la-la
Listen honey here comes my man
Maybe time will tell you
Why I got so much hell to sell you
Please, please understand me
Oh you can't just dance around me
Maybe your work will love you
When I'm just not there to hold you
Maybe your pride can be your companion
Oh but I just won't be there to stand for it
Not one more minute will I stand for it
Oh-oh
You found me singing, baby
Oh sha-la-la, oh sha-la-la
Listen honey here comes my man
Singing oh sha-la-la, oh sha-la-la
Listen honey here comes my man
Singing oh sha-la-la, oh sha-la-la
Listen honey here comes my man
Singing oh sha-la-la, oh sha-la-la
Listen honey here comes my man
Here comes my man
Here comes my man
Here comes my man
Here comes my man
Here comes my man
If I wanted to, I could start over again
Let the good night decide who she wants me to find
And I'll never let you drop another tear in my eye
Singing oh sha-la-la, oh sha-la-la
Listen honey here comes my man
Singing oh sha-la-la, oh sha-la-la
Listen honey here comes my man
Yeah
And all my life I never had a chance
Don't you think I knew about all your pretty girlfriends
But I waited for you, gave you time to decide
But you never saw it from anybody else's side

You know I think I will grow my hair back out
Nevermind what you think
Nevermind what you like

Listen honey here comes my man
Singing oh sha-la-la, oh sha-la-la
Listen honey here comes my man
Here comes my man
Here comes my man
Here comes my man
Here comes my man
Here comes my man

He therefore finds other girls to pass the time that he thinks she doesn't know about.
They've both done wrong.
The chorus is obviously told from the girls point of view as she has moved on.
The first verse is him saying he'd love to carry on and start again as is the third. The rest is from her side.
Just a thought

At first I thought it was from the guy's perspective (as per many below). Then I listened some more to the lyrics and it "clicked" because none of the concerns and issues seemed typically male.
Not totally sure what the chorus represents, "Listen Honey, here comes my man." First impressions are that the woman is saying that to another, different man, or saying it to her current man, when she finds love with the aforementioned. Dunno. But if it's the former, it kind of blows my original interpretation out of the water. But whatever, another solid record from the finest band in the Universe, although I must say, not as good as the rest they've produced.
And i don't think it's about a girl leaving, i think its about him being either tired of waiting for her to make up her mind, or tired of being with her and not being treated the right way. But they've been together for a long time or are older, so starting over should seem like an unpleasant option, however, he's saying that it's not that bad and he's going to take that drastic step if necessary.
I don't know, this is one of Gaslight's more confusing songs to me. But i love it.
To me the song is about a woman who has left someone that wasn't too great, made her cry, took his job more seriously than her, had a couple of other girls on the side. So she leaves, and decides to grow her hair back out and look for someone new, let the night decide who is better, etc.
The chorus is her running into the old guy on the streets, but her new guy is coming along, so she's just like, hey bro, it's good seeing you and all, but I've moved on.
The bridge complicates it for me a little as the background vocals say "one of these, one of these, one of these days" and makes me feel like maybe this didn't really happen to the speaker, but is something she is hoping will happen.
Song is still cool, but strange to sing if you're a guy. I can't think of another song that is sung by a man, but is told in the first person perspective of a woman. It's either the smartest thing ever or the most crazy... I hope Gaslight doesn't go the way of Against Me! ha ha ha.
And yes, hopefully TGA don't do an AM! thing. I mean, all respect to Tom, or Laura - I'm still somewhat unsure how to address him/her - but I'm a massive TGA fan and it'd just be too strange if Fallon went down that path. I mean, I've got a freaking portrait tattoo of the man, haha.
He's quoting the girl in this situation. He was waiting for her, expecting for them to work it out to be together. But instead, she's already dating someone else.
There is the possibility that it's written from a female perspective, and the chorus is literal, but that's unlikely since the verses suggest that the character is going to seek love elsewhere, rather than having already found it.
also at a show he said he dedicated it to his daughter
