| Bruce Springsteen – Meeting Across the River Lyrics
| 18 years ago

simlest lyrics in the world, and yet this song still manages to be incredibly haunting. I think it's about standing at the edge of the ocean, metaphorically speaking, and having one last "last resort" to try and save your sorry neck before your whole life just slips away into oblivion. Something about the muted trumpet in this just sounds like someone's last threads of hope stretching thin and snapping, one by one... |

| Bruce Springsteen – Thunder Road Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
"You can hide `neath your covers and study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a saviour to rise from these streets..."
That is some kind of scary-good songwriting. perfect soundtrack for those summer nights when you cant sleep and theres nothing else to do but get in the car and waste some gasoline... If listening to it doesnt make you feel a little haunted at times like that, well...you must not have grown up in America. Or grown up anywhere at all! |

i bought this album completely on a whim when i was an exchange student. i was wandering around in Vienna and feeling pissed off and lonely, so to pass the time i opened the case, read the lyrics of this song and thought "huh, look at that- it's that last 6 months of my life recorded in detail on an album that came out 5 years before i was born. funky." i've adored it ever since, for the melody as well as the words. |

dunno. i always thought they said "walk like a cat, talk like a rat, sting like a bee..." and "every body says its just like robin hood" at some point, but then again i too have been known for having, um, very original song lyric interpretations. |

this is my ANTHEM! i am sweet sixteen and have never so much as been kissed. if things go on like this for much longer, i think i'll end up standing in the middle of a downtown intersection at rush hour and howling this song at the top of my lungs... |
