Gasoline Family Lyrics
I will haunt you, hunt you down down, during the night.
You, you will regret you ever stepped out of line.
They, they will beg me, they will cry until you weep.
And I, I won't feel sorry, you can believe me, can you believe anything?
I, I can't forget you, I can't forgive what you did to me
you, do you forget why I've killed myself, out here at sea?
Why? Why? Why? To help my family? To a help a family, who's been replacing me?
Well I just might replace you, with a match stick and gasoline...
go in flames, meet in flames, we'll find in flames, just who's to blame
we'll find in flames, we'll find in flames, just who's to blame, just who's to blame.

this song is the most incredible thing. it haunts me. his voice is so fragile & yet it's the most powerful thing i've ever heard. especially when he sings 'why? to help my family? to a help a family, who's been replacing me?'
god. the end of this gives me the shivers. matchstic...k and gasoline. he's so hurt... you can feel it.
Amazing song... the rain falling and bare guitar compliment the vocals and lyrics so well. You can see the sailor standing in the rain after 3 long years at sea, watching his family in a house and life he no longer belongs in, that he no longer fits into. Standing outside with the match and gasoline, so angry and so hurt...
I think at the end he sings:
Up in flames, Meet in flames, We'll Find in flames, Just who's to blame, We'll find in flames, We'll find in flames, Just who's to blame, Just who'd to blame
wow.
I could listen to this a million times. He portrays the saddens so well, he really gets emotional about it, and you can't help but to get emotional when you listen to it. One of the most soft, yet powerful voices ever. You are amazing Andy Hull.
So, did he literally kill himself?
he didn't kill himself. he's working so hard on the boat it's killing him, all for a family who is replacing him (at least his wife is) with his brother
