Seven Angels lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Seven angels got my number

Since I fell in love with you

Seven angels got my number

They're all telling me what to do

First angel says "Go on and love her"

Second angels says "Ain't you tired of being alone?"

Third angel says "Do the right thing, me."

Fourth angels says "Check that other little angel walkin' on down the street"

Seven angels got my number

Since I fell in love with you

Seven angels got my number

They're all telling me what to do

Fifth angels says "Don't worry

Love's waitin' 'round the corner for you, son"

Sixth angel says "You better hurry

It don't take long for the good to get gone"

Walkin' on wings all sexy and blue

Seventh angel says I'm a fool

I got seven angels calling on my pride

Seven devils crawling around inside

Seven angels tellin' me which way to turn

One kiss and my soul wanna burn

Seven angels got my number

Since I fell in love with you

Seven angels got my number

They're all telling me what to do

The earth's so lonely, sad and blue

And without love, your soul's dyin'

Sixth angel says to believe you

When you say you'll never leave me cryin'

Shut Out The Light lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

The runway rushed up at him as he felt the wheels touch down

He stood out on the blacktop and took a taxi into town

He got out down on Main Street and went into a local bar

He bought a drink and found a seat in a corner off the dark

Well she called up her mama to make sure the kids were out of the house

She checked herself out in the dining room mirror

And undid an extra button on her blouse

He felt her lying next to him, the clock said 4 AM

He was staring at the ceiling

He couldn't move his hands

Oh mama mama mama come quick

I've got the shakes and I'm gonna be sick

Throw your arms around me in the cold dark night

Hey now mama don't shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Well on his porch they stretched a banner that said "Johnny Welcome Home"

Bobby pulled his Ford out of the garage and they polished up the chrome

His mama said "Johnny oh Johnny, I'm so glad to have you back with me"

His pa said he was sure they'd give him his job back down at the factory

Oh mama mama mama come quick

I've got the shakes and I'm gonna be sick

Throw your arms around me in the cold dark night

Hey now mama don't shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Don't you shut out the light

Well deep in a dark forest, a forest filled with rain

Beyond a stretch of Maryland pines there's a river without a name

In the cold black water Johnson Lineir stands

He stares across the lights of the city and dreams of where he's been

So Young And In Love lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

There's flying angels on your fire escape

They lie to your mama for you, try to keep you safe

You're with them fire alley virgins on a midnight vamp

Lost your heart on Main Street to a beautiful tramp

You lost your mind

She's sent from above

We're so young and in love

So young and in love

So young and in love

So young and in love

So young and in love

Rat traps filled with soul crusaders

They're soppin' 'n' boppin' 'n' moppin' with Little Melvin and the Invaders

Missy's on the dance floor doin' her stuff

Leroy's dancin' doin' the continental strut

Sent from above

So young and in love

So young and in love

So young and in love

So young and in love

Everybody's reelin' when the bands hits the ceilin'

Don't you know you wanna go

The kids start rockin' when the boys start knockin'

And everybody wants to go

Let's go!

Joint's shut down but you don't wanna go home

You're in the shady side of town and you're all alone

Papa's chewin' your ear off, you ain't got no cash

Mama's chewin' your ear off 'bout hangin'out

With thrash

So fine, sent from above

So young and in love

So young and in love

So young and in love

So young and in love

Stand On It lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Well Jimmy Lee was hookin' 'round the far turn of a funky southern Florida dirt track

He had mud caked on his goggles and a screamin' 350 stacked up on his back

Well as he passed the stands he was feelin' all tuckered out,

When through the roar of his engine he heard somebody shout

"Stand on it, come on boy, stand on it"

Mary Beth started to drift, she hit the shift but she just couldn't get a hand on it

Racin' some Red Hill boys, she had the deed to the ranch and a grand on it

With eight grand blowin' hot on the red line

She blew past a hitchhiker out on Route 39

He hollered "Stand on it, go 'head baby, stand on it"

Well now when in doubt and you can't figure it out

Just stand on it

Well, if your mind's confused, you don't know what you're gonna do

Well buddy, stand on it

Well if you've lost control of the situation at hand

Go grab a girl; go see a rock and roll band

And stand on it

Come on man, stand on it

Well now Columbus he discovered America even though he hadn't planned on it

He got lost and woke up one morning when he's about to land on it

He wouldn't of got out of Italy, man that's for sure,

Without Queen Isabella standing on the shore

Shouting "Stand on it, go ahead man, stand on it"

Well now when in doubt and you can't figure it out

Just stand on it

Well, if your mind's confused, you don't know what you're gonna do

Well buddy, stand on it

Well if you've lost control of the situation at hand

Go grab a girl; go see a rock and roll band

And stand on it

Come on man, stand on it

Bobby was leadin' the pack, he settled back and he got ready for the long haul

Well fifty yards from the finish line somebody roared up and they blew him into the wall

Well he rolled over twice, lucky to survive

Layin' in the back of the ambulance more dead than alive

Somebody shouted "Man, you call that drivin'?

Why didn't you stand on it"

Stray Bullet lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

In the tall grass we held hands

Down by the river we made plans

Of what would and would not be

It was impossible to see

Their black boots shone in the sun

They were waiting on the Annandale train when my baby come

Little girl with the long black hair

Do you know what lies 'neath the long coats that they wear

Once I swore you'd ride with me (to some far and distant shore)

Down where this river meets the sea (I'll make you mine forevermore)

Over these dark hills I'd walk along (just to hold you in my arms)

To lie with you on a bed of stone

River blood red with the years

You can flood this valley with a thousand tears

Wash away all that's been found

But you'll never wash away the sound

Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down, (stray bullet shot my baby down)

Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down, (stray bullet shot my baby down)

Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down, (stray bullet shot my baby down)

Of the stray bullet that shot my baby down

Take 'Em As They Come lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Last night I dreamed we was running through the outlands

Tears streaming, your pretty face all a wreck

(I held your daddy's gun in my tremblin' hands)

And down the highway another stranger comes

You gotta take 'em, baby, when they come

Little girl put on your red dress

Cause we're goin' out on the town tonight

(Better bring along a switchblade)

'Cause, for sure, some fool's gonna wanna fight

You've got to take 'em, baby, as they come

You gotta take 'em, take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em, baby, as they come

God save the rider in the black night

Save the man who taught that it was right

(To do what they have done, girl)

To become what we have become

You gotta take 'em, baby, when they come

Little girl, gone are the days

Faded away into the clear blue night

(And all the vows that we made)

Lie shattered and broken in the morning light

You gotta take 'em, baby, when they come

You gotta take 'em, take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em, baby, as they come

I know your heart is breakin'

I can feel it too, girl

Though my finger on the trigger's shakin'

Here I swear to you, girl

If I could take all your sorrow so that you'd never cry, girl, or be blue

(Come tomorrow)

That's what I'd do for you, pretty one

I swear I'll take 'em baby when they come

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em, baby, as they come

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em as they come, girl

Take 'em, baby, as they come

Take 'em, baby, as they come

Take 'em, baby, as they come

Take 'em, baby, as they come

That's What Makes Us Great lyrics - Bruce Springsteen (feat. Joe Grushecky)

They come from everywhere

A longing to be free

They come to join us here

From sea to shining sea

And they all have a dream

As people always will

To be safe and warm

In that shining city on the hill

Some wanna slam the door

Instead of opening the gate

Aw, let's turn this thing around

Before it gets too late

It's up to me and you

Love can conquer hate

I know this to be true

That's what makes us great

Don't tell me a lie

And sell it as a fact

I've been down that road before

And I ain't goin' back

And don't you brag to me

That you never read a book

I never put my faith

In a con man and his crooks

I won't follow down that path

And tempt the hands of fate

Aw, let's turn this thing around

Before it gets too late

It's up to me and you

Love can conquer hate

I know this to be true

That's what makes us great

In the quiet of the night

I lie here wide awake

And I ask myself

Is there a difference I can make?

It's up to me and you

Love can conquer hate

I know this to be true

That's what makes us great

The Big Payback lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

I bought a scooter and I rented a shack

Out in the sun, by the railroad track

I got a job and I'm a-breakin' my back

Workin' and workin' for the big payback

I keep a puttin' and a puttin' out

I keep a sweatin' like all get out

I work so long that I'm a losin' track

Waitin', waitin' on the big payback

Well, it's a wham, bam, thank you ma'am, god damn, look out Sam

It's a gone dead train rumblin' down this track

They got your neck in the noose, you're draggin' long in back

Chasin' and chasin' the big payback

Oh what my foreman does well I don't know

He just throws me a shovel and yells "Go, Bobby, Go"

Oh well – a all day long he's just a diddy wack wack

While I'm sweatin' and sweatin' the big payback

Well, it's a wham, bam, thank you ma'am, god damn, look out Sam

It's a gone dead train rumblin' down this track

They got your neck in the noose, you're hands are tied up in back

Chasin' and chasin' the big payback

I quit that job, and Mister I ain't goin' back

Got me a knife and she's a long and black

I'll tell you how I make my piece at night Mac

Down in the alley of the big payback

I go a wham, bam, thank you ma'am, god damn, c'mon man

You're a gone dead train rumblin' down this track

I got your neck in the noose and I don't give a damn, Jack

I'm on that long lost highway of the big payback

I'm on that long lost highway of the big payback

The Honeymooners lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Two kids get married, same old thing

Folks congratulate you, church bells ring

Who's got the ring, who's gonna pay the priest

Get your mama in the paper, picture or two at least

And at the reception all the old records play

"Where you gonna live, are you gonna taker her away?"

In a corner my new nephew's showin' me his knife

You swore that you'd love her for the rest of your life

Went to kiss you at the altar we bumped heads

Honeymoon night we figured we best shake on it instead

Dressed kinda funny, laughin' we hop in bed

You can swear it on your feet, you can swear it on your head

Come mornin' my new family's sitting on the front porch swing

Smilin' kinda funny, nobody says a thing

My new brother-in-law's throwin' a football, he tosses me a pass

The Man Who Got Away lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Last night I went to the Coronado

I bought my ticket and I found my seat

It was a new adventure straight from Hollywood

Lights went down as I felt the heat

They went tearing from the final scene

Burning rubber, spilling gasoline

As the credits rolled away

They were still chasing

The man who got away

Every night for weeks and weeks now

I beat the traffic, I beat the heat now

For two hours I can believe

The man who got away was me

I went tearing from the final scene

Burning rubber, spilling gasoline

As the credits rolled away

They were still chasing

The man who got away

Drove into Stockton, my radio went dead

That's when I heard what the newsman said

Said: "armed robbery on the ten-hundred block

Was two men involved and one man shot

While his accomplice made the payday

With a .45 he blew the cashier away

Last seen headed on the State Highway

Driving a late model Chevrolet"

I went screaming from the final scene

In a hail of bullets and flaming gasoline

As the credits rolled away

They were still chasing

The man who got away

Man who got away

Man who got away

Man who got away

The Time That Never Was lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Sometimes I wake up in the morning

And it cuts me like a knife

I come face-to-face with my longing

For another world, another life

And a time that never was

Oh, a time that never was

We drove on, fueled not by the future

But by a past we could never touch

Forced to run head-on collisions

'Til we vanished in the dust

Of a time that never was

The time that never was

So kiss me once more, baby

One more kiss, baby, you must

Don't ever let me forget, girl

A time that never was

A time that never was

The time that never was

Oh, the time that never was

A time that never was

The Wish lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Dirty old street all slushed up in the rain and snow

Little boy and his ma shivering outside a rundown music store window

That night on top of a Christmas tree shines one beautiful star

And lying underneath a brand-new Japanese guitar

I remember in the morning, ma, hearing your alarm clock ring

I'd lie in bed and listen to you gettin' ready for work

The sound of your makeup case on the sink

And the ladies at the office, all lipstick, perfume and rustlin' skirts

And how proud and happy you always looked walking home from work

If pa's eyes were windows into a world so deadly and true

You couldn't stop me from looking but you kept me from crawlin' through

And if it's a funny old world, mama, where a little boy's wishes come true

Well I got a few left in my pocket and a special one just for you

It ain't no phone call on Sunday, flowers or a Mother's Day card

It ain't no house on a hill with a garden and a nice little yard

I got my hot rod down on Bond Street, I'm older but you'll know me in a glance

We'll find us a little rock 'n roll bar and baby we'll go out and dance

Well it was me in my Beatle boots, you in pink curlers and matador pants

Pullin' me up off the couch to do the twist for my uncles and aunts

Well I found a girl of my own now, ma, I popped the question on your birthday

She stood waiting on the front porch while you were telling me to get out there

And say what it was that I had to say

Last night we all sat around laughing at the things that guitar bought us

And I laid awake thinking 'bout the other things it's brought us

Well tonight I'm takin' requests here in the kitchen

This one's for you, ma, let me come right out and say it

It's overdue, but baby, if you're looking for a sad song, well I ain't gonna play it

This Hard Land lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Hey there mister, can you tell me what happened to the seeds I've sown

Can you give me a reason sir as to why they've never grown

They've just blown around from town to town

Till they're back out on these fields

Where they fall from my hand

Back into the dirt of this hard land

Now me and my sister

From Germantown we did ride

We made our bed, sir

From the rock on the mountainside

We been blowin' around from town to town

Looking for a place to stand

Where the sun burst through the cloud to fall like a circle

Like a circle of fire down on this hard land

Now even the rain it don't come 'round

It don't come 'round here no more

And the only sound at night's the wind

Slammin' the back porch door

It just stirs you up like it wants to blow you down

Twistin' and churnin' up the sand

Leavin' all them scarecrows lyin' face down

Face-down in the dirt of this hard land

From a building up on the hill

I can hear a tape deck blastin' "Home on the Range"

I can see them Bar-M choppers sweepin' low across the plains

It's me and you Frank we're lookin' for lost cattle

Our hooves twistin' and churnin' up the sand

We're ridin' in the whirlwind searchin' for lost treasure

Way down south of the Rio Grande

We're ridin' cross that river in the moonlight

Up onto the banks of this hard land

Hey Frank, won't ya pack your bags

And meet me tonight down at Liberty Hall

Just one kiss from you my brother and we'll ride until we fall

Well sleep in the fields, we'll sleep by the rivers

And in the morning we'll make a plan

Well, if you can't make it

Stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive

If you can

And meet me in a dream of this hard land

Thundercrack lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Her brains they rattle and her bones they shake

Whoa, she's an angel from the Innerlake

Thundercrack, baby's back

This time she'll tell me how she really feels

Bring me down to her lightning shack

You can watch my partner reelin'

She moves up, she moves back

Out on the floor there just is no one cleaner

She does this thing she calls the "Jump back Jack"

She's got the heart of a ballerina

She's straight from the Bronx

Hung off the line

She slips, she slides, she slops, she bops, she bumps, she grinds

Even them dance hall hacks

From the west side of the tracks

Move in close to catch her timin'

She moves up, she moves back

Out on the floor there just is no one cleaner

She does this thing she calls the "Jump back Jack"

She's got the heart of a ballerina

She ain't no little girl, she ain't got no curls

Her hair ain't brown, and her eyes ain't either

Round and round and round and round

My heart's wood, she's a carpenter

She's an angel in the night, what she does is alright

Dance with me, partner, dance with me, partner

Dance with me, partner, 'til the dawn

Thundercrack, baby's back

This time she'll tell me how she really feels

Bring me down to her lightning shack

You can watch my partner reelin'

She moves up, she moves back

Out on the floor there just is no one cleaner

She does this thing she calls the "Jump back Jack"

She's got the heart of a ballerina

She ain't no little girl, she ain't got no curls

Her hair ain't brown, and her eyes ain't either

Round and round and round and round

My heart's wood, she's a carpenter

She's an angel in the night, what she does is alright

Dance with me, partner, dance with me, partner

Dance with me, partner, all night

Trapped lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Seems like I'm caught up in your trap again

Seems like I'll be wearing the same old chains

Good will conquer evil and the truth will set me free

And I know someday I will find the key

I know somewhere I will find the key

Seems like I've been playing your game way too long

Seems the game I've played has made you strong

When the game is over I won't walk out the loser

I know I'll walk out of here again

I know someday I'll walk out of here again

Well now I'm trapped

Ooh yeah

Seems like I've been sleeping in your bed too long

Seems like you've been meaning to do me harm

But I'll teach my eyes to see beyond these walls in front of me

Someday I'll walk out of here again

Someday I'll walk out of here again

Well now I'm trapped

Ooh yeah

Seems like I've been playing your game way too long

Seems the game I've played has made you strong

Well now I'm trapped

Ooh yeah

Trouble In Paradise lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

You do the drying, I'll do the dishes

Who'll do the crying

When all the wishes don't come true

You do the washing, I'll do the folding

Whose heart is breaking

When whose arms are holding someone new

Sittin' on a peaceful lake sunnin'

Didn't hear the roar of the waterfall coming

When it's all a storybook story

When it's all so easy and nice

Here comes trouble in paradise

You did the dusting, I did the sweeping

You did the driving oh and I did the sleeping a little too long

On a picnic 'neath the sky so blue

We didn't see the rain and heartache coming through

When it's all an old black and white movie

And you're sure you've seen the ending twice

Here comes trouble in paradise

You said everything was fine

I'm sorry, baby, I didn't see the signs

Oh so beautifully you read your lines

But in a play where the hero has no vice

And love comes without a price

So does trouble in paradise

Don't matter who did the dusting or who did the sweeping

Who did the trusting or who did the cheating when it's all gone

Laying in a field on a summer's day

Waitin' for those gray skies to clear away

Knowing all love's glory and beauty

Can vanish before you think twice

Leaving trouble in paradise

Now we share the laughing, we share the joking

We do the sleeping with one eye open

TV Movie lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

I woke up last night shaking from a dream

For in that dream I died

My wife rolled over and told me

That my life would be immortalized

Not in some major motion picture

Or great American novel, you see

No, they're gonna make a TV movie out of me

Well now, it's one two three you take the money

Yeah it's as easy as A B C

Yeah they're gonna make a TV movie out of me

Well they can change my name or they can leave it

They can change my story too

Or they can make me black or Chinese

And do things that I never do

They're gonna give my life a whole new ending

And put me in prime time first-run

And when it's over, what I did there will be what I done

Now I don't want my name in a history book

Nobody's ever gonna see

No, they're gonna make a TV movie out of me

Well now, it's one two three you take the money

Yeah it's as easy as A B C

Yeah they're gonna make a TV movie out of me

Well I'm a shoe-in for sponsor

Goodyear blimp and radial wheels

Somebody had a meeting somewhere

Somehow somebody made a deal

Well I was one of them kinds of stories

That everybody liked to see

Yeah they're gonna make a TV movie out of me

Now I don't want no inscription on my gravestone

No long soliloquy

No they're gonna make a TV movie out of me

Well now, it's one two three you take the money

Yeah it's as easy as A B C

Yeah they're gonna make a TV movie out of me

Two For The Road lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

It's one for the money and one for the show

I got one kiss for you honey so come on let's go

I didn't see it coming but girl now I know

It takes one for the running but two for the road

One thousand dreams whispered in the dark

But a dream's just a dream in one empty heart

It takes more than one to rev it up and go

So let's get it running, we're two for the road

Two one-way tickets and a diamond ring

Hell it don't matter what the rain might bring

When this world treats you hard and cold

I'll stand beside you, we're two for the road

When you're alone my love'll shine the light

Through the dark and starless night

I'll hold you close and never let you go

C'mon now girl 'cause we're two for the road

Well it's two to get ready, babe, c'mon let's go

Me and you, girl, we're two for the road

Viva Las Vegas lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

(originally by Elvis Presley)

Bright light city gonna set my soul

Gonna set my soul on fire

I've got a whole lot a money just ready to burn

So get those stakes up higher

There's a thousand pretty women just a-waitin' out there

They're all livin Devil may care

And I'm just the Devil with love to spare

Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas

How I wish that there were more

Than 24 hours in a day

But even if there were 40 more

I wouldn't sleep a minute away

There's Blackjack, Poker and the Roulette Wheel

A fortune won and lost on every deal

All you need is money and nerves of steel

Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas

Well, Viva Las Vegas with your neon flashing and

Your one-armed bandits crashing

All your hopes down the drain

Well, Viva Las Vegas turning day into night time

Turnin 'night into day time

If you've seen it once you'll never be the same again

I'm gonna keep on the run

I'm gonna have me some fun

If it costs me my very last dime

If I wind up broke, well, I'll always remember

That I had me a swinging time

I'm gonna give it every thing I got

Lady Luck won't you let the dice stay hot

Let me shoot a seven with every shot

Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas

Viva Viva

Las Vegas

Busted

Wages Of Sin lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

When we fight and I wanna talk it out

You won't say nothing, nothing at all

You just sit there, you won't open that pretty mouth

I think you like keeping my back up against the wall

Wages of sin, you keep me paying

Wages of sin for wrongs that I've done

Wages of sin, you keep me paying

Wages of sin, one by one

I walk in the apartment, there's clothes thrown all over the place

You're crouched in the corner with makeup running down your face

I don't wanna believe what my heart keeps saying

You keep me on the line so you can keep me paying

Wages of sin, we keep paying

Wages of sin for the wrongs that we've done

Wages of sin, we keep paying

Wages of sin, that's how we have our fun

I remember when I was a little boy out where the cottonwoods grow tall

Trying to make it home through the forest before the darkness falls

Baby all the sounds I heard, even if they weren't real

I was running down that broken path with the devil snapping at my heels

I tried so hard, so hard in every way

Swore someday I'd grow up, just throw it all away

Cried all the tears, baby, that I could cry

Stomached all my fears 'til they came rushin' up inside

Darlin' I'm losin' and it's a mean game

Still I play on just the same

Wages of sin, I keep paying

Wages of sin for some wrong that I've done

Wages of sin, well I keep paying

Wages of sin, one by one

When The Lights Go Out lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Now you say you have a friend, you trust him with your life

You trust him with your money, you trust him with your kids

You'd even trust him with your wife

You better watch what's goin' on when the lights are out

When the night is dark, when there ain't nobody lookin' around

Yeah when the lights are out, down in this dirty little town

Well now the world is dark and funny, better listen up to what I say

You ain't gonna know what's going on by what you see in the light of day

You gotta watch what's goin' on when the lights are out

When the night is dark, when there ain't nobody lookin' around

Yeah when the lights are out in this dirty little town

Now you swear that she trusted you

Within reason I understand

But you kept slippin' in late at night

And in the mornin' you had that smell on your hands

Well now the world is turning, Rome is burning

Me, I'm watching and I'm learning

They say sure as God's hand and the tickin' of the clock

The lord's light'll shine under every slimy rock

Well last night I slept the sleep of fear

And I heard God's voice whisper in my ear

He said you better watch what's going on when the lights are out

When the night is dark, when there ain't nobody lookin' around

Yeah when the lights are out, down in this dirty little town

When You Need Me lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

When you need me call my name

'Cause without you my life just wouldn't be the same

If you want me come sunny skies or rain

When you need me just call my name

If you miss me, I'll be there

To brush the sunlight from your hair

I'll be there to guide you when trouble walks beside you

If you need me I'll be there

And when this dirty world has been cold to you

I got two strong arms waitin' to hold you

And when those mean days come along

We'll stand together and we'll take 'em on

So if you need me just call my name

When you need me call my name

'Cause without you my life just isn't the same

'Cause when this world kicked me around

You picked me up off the ground

So if you need me I'll be there

When you need me call my name

'Cause without you my life just wouldn't be the same

If you want me come sunny skies or rain

When you need me just call my name

Where The Bands Are lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

I hear the guitars ringin' out

Ringin' out down Union Street

I hear the lead singer shoutin' out girl

I wanna be a slave to the beat

Yeah tonight I wanna break my chains

Somebody break my heart

Somebody shake my brains

Downtown there's something that I wanna hear

There's a sound little girl keeps ringin' in my ear

I wanna be where the bands are

I wanna be where the bands are

Where the bands are

I wanna be where the bands are

I get off from work and I grab something to eat

I turn the corner and I drive down your street

Little gray houses, darling, looks like nowhere

But hey I know you're hidin' in there

Come on out for just a little while

You know that heart of stone girl it just ain't your style

Tonight I wanna feel the beat of the crowd

And when I tell you that I love you

I wanna have to shout it out loud

Shout it out loud

I wanna be where the bands are

I wanna be where the bands are

Where the bands are

I wanna be where the bands are

I hear the guitars ringin' out again

Ringin' on down Union Street

I hear the lead singer shoutin' out and girl

I wanna be a slave to the beat

And I want something that'll break my chains

Something to break my heart

Something to break my chains

There's a rocker's special on tonight

So meet me on down

'Neath the neon lights

I wanna be where the bands are

I wanna be where the bands are

Where the bands are

I wanna be where the bands are

Whitetown lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Mary Ann on the avenue

Girl all dressed up in Kensington blue

Down where the hammer falls

She's born and bred within Whitetown walls

Each and every day slowly passes away

From a passing car she hears the music play

Beneath the "El" she starts to sway

Down in Whitetown

Down in Whitetown

Down in Whitetown

Johnny's trying to make his way

He's got a job, mister it don't pay

He sits and counts the scars

On a stool down the end of a Whitetown bar

And the old men here piss their lives away

Drinking and joking about their cop-fighting days

Ain't no answers here, just the past and fear

Of spending the rest of your days

Down in Whitetown

Down in Whitetown

Down in Whitetown

In a dream salvation comes with a beat

Or the sound of breaking glass and running feet

The beat that echoes down through the streets

Mary Ann dances on

Down in Whitetown

Down in Whitetown

Whitetown

Down in Whitetown

Down in Whitetown

Down in Whitetown

Without You lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

Monday, I go to work

Tuesday, can't find my shirt

Wednesday, I'm feeling blue

I'm helpless, darling

Without you

Without you

Without you

Thursday, everything's fine

Friday, I'm out of my mind

Saturday, Sunday too

It's hopeless, darling

Without you

Without you

Without you

Each and every night of the week

I toss and turn in my sleep

Worrying if you're all right

Wondering where you are tonight

Monday, I go to work

Tuesday, can't find my shirt

Wednesday, I'm feeling blue

I'm helpless, darling

Without you

Without you

Without you

Each and every night of the week

I toss and turn in my sleep

Worrying if you're all right

Wondering where you are tonight

Monday, I go to work

Tuesday, I can't find my shirt

Wednesday, I'm feeling blue

I'm helpless, darling

Without you

Without you

Without you

Thursday, everything's fine

Friday, I'm out of my mind

Saturday, Sunday too

I'm without you

Without you

Without you

Without you

Zero And Blind Terry lyrics - Bruce Springsteen

The Skulls met the Pythons

Down at the First Street station

Alliances have been made in alleyways

All across the nation

These boys live off the milk of a silver jet

And the love of sweet young women

Now the Pythons are down from old English town

And they're looking to do some livin'

Well the leader of the Pythons

Is a kid they just call Zero

Now Terry's pop says these kids are some kind of monsters

But Terry says "No, pop, they're just plain heroes"

Zero and Terry they found a love that burns like wildfire

Now Terry's daddy understood that this Zero was no good

A child, a thief and a liar

Well from out of the darkness that breaks the dawn

Zero rode like twilight

He said "Tonight's the night, Blind Terry, come on"

Terry come on, tonight is the night

Pack your bags, baby

And together they ran like reindeer through the street

Like tomorrow the earth was gonna catch on fire

Now Terry's dad hired some troopers to kill Zero and bring Terry back home

They crawled up in the night

Like firelight

Now snow-white troopers from the council of crime

Rode silver foxes through Terry's field

Oh they met the Pythons down on Route 9 but they refused to yield

The Pythons fought with buzz guns

And the troopers with swords like light

And Zero and Terry they ran away

And the gang fought all through the night

Well now some folks say Zero and Terry got away

Other said they were caught and brought back

But still young pilgrims to this day

Go to that spot way down by the railroad track

Where the Troopers met the Pythons

Old timers cry on a hot August night

If you look hard enough, if you try

You'll catch Zero and Terry and all the Pythons

Oh just hiking them streets of the sky

Just walkin', hiking the streets of the sky

Just hiking the streets of the sky

Hey Zero
