| Bruce Springsteen – Darkness on the Edge of Town Lyrics
| 14 years ago

The Darkness on the edge of town is the hinterland where the true artist and seeker thrives, away from the comforts of suburbia and the values of the bourgeois life style. It’s where a person can feel more alive and in touch with reality. It is the option any one of us can take if we are prepared to ‘pay the cost’ i.e. lose those material, mind numbing comforts. The only bitterness he may feel is not one of comparing his lot (or material wellbeing) against that of his erstwhile wife who is living in Fairview but that she couldn’t see what he could in living a life on the ‘edge’ of society; ‘that blood it never burnt in her veins’. Some of you would benefit from reading Colin Wilson’s Outsider then this whole album would truly come alive for you; but then again if the ‘blood doesn’t burn in your veins’ you wouldn’t ‘get’ that either. |

| The Dead Weather – Hustle and Cuss Lyrics

The Hustle & Cuss is about karma. The basic premiss of karma is for every action there is a reaction 'knock on the door and the door knocks back'. Its saying that in this life if you give shit (hustle & cuss) you get shit (lick on the dust). It's like so many of their songs seemingly simple yet profound. |
