Fu Manchu/Nayland Smith. Wo Fat/MacGarrett. Early electronica wasn't beyond styling creepy for its own sake. --Hear Rickey's Hand, Down in the Park. My opinion, this soundtrack is just a cool romp through global menace/dream of doom territory. |

| Bruce Springsteen – Girls In Their Summer Clothes Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
As much as I do appreciate some of the comments coming out of the interpretation that this song is from the P.O.V of an old guy whose life is passed, I think that interpretation is wrong. I think it's very simply – as others here have pointed – about a normal guy, aged 21-50, say, who is between good things in his life. The friendly and solicitous Shaniqua isn't unattainable because she's young enough to be his daughter. She's unattainable because she has a BF or husband. She reminds the narrator of what his life lacks now. "Love's a fool's dance I ain't got much sense but I still got my feet" Springsteen is poet enough not to sign off the song with this line if the song was really about a man dealing with being past love for all time. |
