The Tracks version and the River version are, basically, two different songs with identical lyrics. But the central character is the same. And he's a recurring character that was born in Stolen Car and resurfaces in "Two Steps Up", "Cautious Man", "Dancing in the Dark", "Two Faces", "Straight Time", "Nothing Man", "Loose Change", and others. A man defined by his own isolation. Crushed by it. And with no escape from it.
@ZFT A man defined by his own isolation. Sums that up nicely, maybe why i relate so much to this song. The theme threads through many of Bruce's characters including the audience. We ride together.
