Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: Hammersmith Odeon, London '75 (2005) - full transcript

# the screen door slams

# mary's dress waves

# like a vision
she dances across the porch #

# as the radio plays

# roy orbison singing
for the lonely #

# hey, that's me,
and i want you only #

# don't turn me home again

# i just can't face myself
alone again #

# don't you run back inside

# darling, you know just
what i'm here for #

# so you're scared
and you're thinking #



# that maybe we ain't
that young anymore #

# well, show a little faith

# there's magic in the night

# you ain't a beauty

# but, hey, you're all right

# oh, and that's
all right with me #

# 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 savior to rise
from these streets #

# well, now i'm no hero

# that's understood



# all the redemption
i can offer, girl #

# is beneath this dirty hood

# with a chance
to make it good somehow #

# hey, what else
can we do now #

# except roll down
the window #

# and let the wind
blow back your hair? #

# well, the night's
busting open #

# these two lanes
will take us anywhere #

# we got one last chance
to make it real #

# to trade in these wings
on some wheels #

# climb in back

# heaven's waiting
down on the tracks #

# and it's, oh,
come and take my hand #

# we're riding out tonight
to case the promised land #

# oh, thunder road

# oh, thunder road

# thunder road

# it's lying out there like
a killer in the sun #

# hey, i know it's late

# but we could make it
if we run #

# ooh, thunder road

# sit tight

# take hold

# thunder road

# well, i got this guitar

# and i learned
how to make it talk #

# and my car's out back

# if you're ready to take
that long walk #

# from your front porch
to my front seat #

# the door's open
but the ride, it ain't free #

# hey, i know you're lonely

# and those words
that i ain't spoken #

# but tonight we'll be free

# when all the promises
will be broken #

# there were ghosts
in the eyes #

# of all the boys
you sent away #

# they haunt
this dusty beach road #

# in the skeleton frames
of burned-Out chevrolets #

# they scream your name
at night in the street #

# your graduation gown lies
in rags at their feet #

# and in the lonely cool
before dawn #

# from your room you hear
their engines roar on #

# but when you get
to the porch #

# they're gone

# on the wind

# so, mary, climb in

# it's a town full
of losers #

# and i'm pulling out
of here to win #

# oh, oh, oh

# oh, ohh

# ohh, oh

# thunder road

1, 2, 3, go!

tumbling down #

# crazy janey

# were back in the alley
tradin' hands #

# 'long came wild billy
with his friend g-Man #

# duded up
for saturday night #

# well, billy slammed
on his coaster brakes #

# and said, "anybody wanna go
on up to greasy lake?" #

# "oh, about a mile down
on the dark side of route 88" #

# "why, i got a bottle
of rose, let's try it" #

# "we'll pick up hazy davy
and killer joe" #

# "and i'll take you all out
to where the gypsy angels go" #

# "they're built like light"

# "and they dance like
spirits in the night" #

# all night

# "of that night"
# all night

what it do to you" #

# "like a spirit
in the night" #

# all night

# "of that night"
# all night

# "stand up and let it"

# "shoot through you"

# well, now listen,
wild billy was a crazy cat #

# and he shook some dust
out of his coonskin cap #

# cried, "trust some of this"

# "it'll show you
where you're at" #

# "or at least it'll help
you really feel it" #

Show me, band!

# by the time we made it
up to greasy lake #

# i had my head
out the window #

# janey's fingers were
in the cake #

# i think i really dug her

# i was too loose to fake

# i said, "i'm hurt"

# she said, "honey,
let me heal it" #

Step it!

# we danced all night

# to a soul fairy band

# and she kissed me
just right #

# like only
a lonely angel can #

# she felt so nice

# just as soft as

# a spirit in the night

# all night

# of that night

Big man!

# ohh

# the night grew bright

# and the stars threw light

# on billy and davy

# dancin' in the moonlight

# they were down
near the water #

# in a stone mud fight

# killer joe gone passed out

# on the lawn

# ohh

# and...and this kid

Whoo!

# hazy davy

# got really hurt

# he

# crawled into the lake

# in just his socks

Crazy davy's
right!

# and

# his shirt

Oh, yeah.

# me and crazy janey

# were makin' love
in the dirt #

# singin'
our birthday songs #

# and then janey said, oh

# "hey, little brother"

# "don't you think it's
time that we go?" #

# so we closed our eyes

# and said good-Bye

Where'd my hat go?

Go, clarence!

# the ragamuffin gunner
is returnin' home #

# like a hungry runaway

# he walks through town
all alone #

# "he must be
from the fort" #

# he hears the high school
girls say #

# his countryside's burnin'
with wolfman fairies #

# dressed in drag
for homicide #

# the hit and run,
plead sanctuary #

# 'neath a holy stone
they hide #

# breakin' beams and crosses

# makin' their
midnight connections #

# as the sisters run bald

# through church halls

# pregnant, pleadin'
immaculate conception #

# and everybody's wrecked
on main street #

# from drinking
unholy blood #

# and sticker smiles sweet

# and gunner breathes deep

# his ankles caked in mud

# and sticker says

# says, "hey, gunner man,
that's quicksand" #

# "that's quicksand
that ain't mud" #

# "have you thrown
your senses to the war" #

# "or did you lose them
in the flood?" #

# that pure american brother

# dull-Eyed and empty-Faced

# he races sundays in jersey

# in a chevy super 8

# he rides 'er low
on the hip #

# on the side he's
got "bound for glory" #

# in red, white,
and blue flash paint #

# he leans on the hood
telling racing stories #

# the kids call
him jimmy the saint #

# and the blaze
and noise, boy #

# he's gunnin' that bitch

# loaded to blastin' point

# he rides head first
into a hurricane #

# and disappears into a point

# till there's nothin' left

# but some blood
where the body fell #

# that is, nothin' left
that you could sell #

# just junk all
across the horizon #

# a real highwayman's farewell

# someone said, "hey, kid,
you think that's oil?" #

# "man, that ain't oil,
that's blood" #

# i wonder
what he was thinking #

# when he hit that storm

# or was he just lost
in the flood? #

# whoo

# eighth avenue sailors
in satin shirts #

# whisper in the air

# some storefront
incarnation of maria #

# she's puttin'
on me a stare #

# and bronx's
best apostle stands #

# with his hand
on his own hardware #

# everything stops,
and you hear 5 quick shots #

# the cops come up for air

# and now the whiz-Bang gang
from uptown #

# they're shootin' up
the street #

# and that cat
from the bronx #

# starts lettin' loose

# but he gets blown
right off his feet #

# and some kid comes blastin'
round the corner #

# but a cop puts
him right away #

# he lays on the street
holding his leg #

# screaming something
in spanish #

# still breathing
when i walked away #

# and someone said,
"hey, man did you see that?" #

# "his body hit the street
with such a beautiful thud" #

# i wonder what
that dude was sayin' #

# or was he just lost
in the flood? #

# hey man, did you see that

# them cats are sure
messed up #

# i wonder what
they was gettin' into #

# or were they just lost
in the flood? #

# whoa, oh, i said

# whoa, were they lost?

# were they lost?

# ohh, ohh, ohh

# ohh, ohh, ohh

# were they lost?

# were they lost?

# and you step it,
step it, step it, step it #

# and you step it

# oh

# step it, step, step it

Go, clarence!

Go, bruce!

# with her killer graces
and her secret places #

# that no boy can fill

# with her hands
on her hips #

# well, and that smile
on her lips #

# because she knows
that it kills me #

# with her soft french cream

# standing in that doorway
like a dream #

# i wish would
just leave me alone #

# because french cream
won't soften them boots #

# and french kisses

# will not break
that heart of stone #

# with her long hair falling

# and her eyes that shine
like a midnight sun #

# oh-O she's the one

# she's the one

# she's the one

# she's the one

# ho

# well, that thunder
in your heart #

# at night when you're
kneeling in the dark #

# it says you're never
gonna leave her #

# well, that angel
in her eyes #

# that tells
such desperate lies #

# and all you want to do
is believe her #

# and tonight you'll try
just one more time #

# to leave it all behind

# and to break on through

# oh, she can take you

# but if she wants
to break you #

# she's gonna find out
that ain't so easy to do #

# and no matter
where you sleep tonight #

# or how far you run

# oh-O she's the one

# she's the one

# she's the one

# oh

# oh-O and just one kiss

# she'd turn them
long summer nights #

# with her tenderness

# that secret pact you made

# when her love
could save you #

# from the bitterness

# oh, ohh

# oh, she's the one

# oh, she's the one

# oh, she's the one

# oh, she's the one

# oh, she's the one

# uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh-Uh

1, 2!

# hey

# hey

# hey

# in the day we sweat it
out on the streets #

# of a runaway american dream

# at night we ride
through mansions of glory #

# in suicide machines

# sprung from cages
on highway 9 #

# chrome-Wheeled,
fuel-Injected #

# and steppin' out
over the line #

# ohh

# baby, this town rips
the bones from your back #

# it's a death trap,

out on the wire? #

# girl, baby, i'm just
a scared and lonely rider #

# but i gotta find out
how it feels #

# i want to know
if love is wild #

# i want to know
if love is real #

# and can you show me?

1, 2!

# beyond the palace
hemi powered drones #

# scream down the boulevard

# the girls comb their hair
in rearview mirrors #

# and the boys
try to look so hard #

# the amusement park rises
bold and stark #

# kids are huddled
on the beach in a mist #

# i want to die with you,
wendy, on the street tonight #

# in an everlasting kiss

1, 2, 3!

# the highway's jammed
with broken heroes #

# on a last chance
power drive #

# everybody's out
on the run tonight #

# but there's no place
left to hide #

# together, wendy, we can
live with the sadness #

# i'll love you
with all the madness #

# in my soul

# whoa

# someday, girl,
i don't know when #

# we're gonna get
to that place #

This is for pete!

# i had skin like leather

# and the diamond-Hard look
of a cobra #

# i was born
blue and weathered #

# but i burst just like
a supernova #

# i could walk like brando
right into the sun #

# then dance
like a casanova #

# with my blackjack
and jacket #

# and hair slicked sweet

# silver star studs
on my duds #

# like a harley in heat

# when i strut
down the street #

# i could feel its heartbeat

# the sisters
fell back and said #

# "don't that man
look pretty?" #

# the cripple on the corner
cried out #

# "nickels for your pity"

# them downtown boys
sure talk gritty #

# it's so hard to be a saint

# i was the king
of the alley, mama #

# i could talk some trash

# i was the prince
of the paupers #

# crowned downtown
at the beggar's bash #

# i was the pimp's
main prophet #

# i kept everything cool

# a backstreet gambler
with the luck to lose #

# and when the heat came down

# it was left on the ground

# the devil appeared
like jesus #

# through the steam
in the street #

# showin' me a hand i knew

# even the cops couldn't beat

# i felt his hot breath
on my neck #

# as i dove into the heat

# it's so hard to be a saint
when you're just a #

# and the sages
of the subway #

# sit just like
the living dead #

# as the tracks clack
out the rhythm #

# their eyes fixed
straight ahead #

# they ride the line
of balance #

# and hold on
by just a thread #

# it's too hot
in these tunnels #

# you can get hit up
by the heat #

# you get up to get out
at your next stop #

# but they push you
back down in your seat #

# your heart starts
beatin' faster #

# as you struggle
to your feet #

# then you're out of that hole
and back up on the street #

# and them south side sisters
sure look pretty #

# the cripple on the corner
cries out #

# "nickels for your pity"

# and them downtown boys
sure talk gritty #

# it's so hard to be a saint
in the city #

# so hard, so

# so, so hard, so hard

# walking down the street
all by yourself #

# oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

# oh, oh, oh,

# one soft infested summer

# me and terry
became friends #

# trying in vain
to breathe the fire #

# we was born in

# catching rides
to the outskirts #

# tying faith
between our teeth #

# sleeping in that old
abandoned beach house #

# getting wasted in the heat

# oh

# hiding on the backstreets

# hiding on the backstreets

# with a love so hard
and filled with defeat #

# running for our lives
at night #

# on them backstreets

# hey, hey

# slow dancing in the dark

# on the beach
at stockton's wing #

# where desperate
lovers park #

# we sat with the last
of the duke street kings #

# huddled in our cars

# waiting for the bells
that ring #

# in the deep heart
of the night #

# when you let loose
of everything #

# to go running
on the backstreets #

# running on the backstreets

# we swore
we'd live forever #

# babe

# on the backstreets
we'd make it together #

# together

# endless juke joints
and valentino drag #

# where dancers
scraped the tears #

# up off the streets
dressed down in rags #

# running into the darkness

# some hurt bad,
some really dying #

# at night,
sometimes it seemed #

# you could hear
that whole damn city crying #

# blame it on the lies
that killed us #

# on the truth
that ran us down #

# can blame it all
on me, terry #

# it don't matter to me now

# when the breakdown hit
at midnight #

# there was nothing
left to say #

# but i hated him

# and i hated you
when you went away #

# oh, oh

# oh, ohh

# laying here in the dark

# you're like an angel
on my chest #

# another tramp of hearts

# crying tears
of faithlessness #

# remember all the movies,
terry, that we'd go see #

# trying to learn
how to walk #

# like the heroes
we thought we had to be #

# and after all this time

# to find we're just
like all the rest #

# stranded in the park
and forced to confess #

# to hiding
on the backstreets #

# hiding on the backstreets

# we swore forever friends

# terry

# on the backstreets
until the end #

# until the end

# me and you, baby

# me and you, baby

# on the backstreets

# on the backstreets

# hiding on the backstreets

# the rangers had
a homecoming #

# in harlem late last night

# and the magic rat drove
his sleek machine #

# over the jersey state line

# barefoot girl sitting
on the hood of a dodge #

# drinking warm beer
in the soft summer rain #

# the rat pulls into town,
rolls up his pants #

# together they take
a stab at romance #

# and disappear
down flamingo lane #

# well, the maximum lawman
run down flamingo #

# chasing the rat
and the barefoot girl #

# and the kids round there
live just like shadows #

# always silent,
holding hands #

# from the churches
to the jails #

# tonight there's silence
in the world #

# as we take our stand

# down in jungleland

# well, now the midnight gang's
assembled #

# and picked a rendezvous
for the night #

# they're gonna meet
'neath that giant exxon sign #

# that brings
this fair city light #

# man, there's an opera
out on the turnpike #

# and there's a ballet being
fought out in the alley #

# until the local cops'
cherry top #

# rips this holy night

# the street's alive
as secret debts are paid #

# contacts made,
they vanished unseen #

# kids flash guitars
just like switchblades #

# hustling
for the record machine #

# the hungry and the hunted

# explode
into rock 'n' roll bands #

# that face off
against each other #

# out in the street

# down in jungleland

# someday

# someday

# someday

# in the parking lot,
the visionaries dress #

# in the latest rage

# inside, the backstreet
girls are dancing #

# to the records
that the d.J. Plays #

# lonely-Hearted lovers
struggle in dark corners #

# desperate
as the night moves on #

# with just one look
and a whisper #

# they're gone

# beneath the city

# two hearts beat

# soul engines running
through a night #

# so tender

# in a bedroom locked

# in whispers
of soft refusal #

# and then surrender

# in the tunnels uptown

# the rat's own dream
runs him down #

# shots echo down
the hallway in the night #

# nobody's watching
when the ambulance pulls away #

# or when the girl
shuts out the bedroom light #

# outside the street's
on fire #

# in a real death waltz

# between what's flesh
and what's fantasy #

# and, man,
the poets down here #

# don't write nothing at all

# they just stand back
and let it all be #

# and in the quick
of the night #

# they reach
for their moment #

# and try to make
an honest stand #

# but they wind up wounded,
not even dead #

# tonight in jungleland

# ohh, ohh

# ohh, ohh

# whoa, oh, oh, oh

# ohh

# ohh, ohh

# whoa, oh, oh, ohh

# it was in a little caf? #

# on the other

# side of the border

# she was sitting there

# giving me food

# made my mouth water

That's cute, that's cute. Heh.

# sandy

# the fireworks are hailin'

# over little eden tonight

# forcin' a light into
all them stoned-Out faces #

# left stranded
on this fourth of july #

# down in town
the circuit's full #

# with switchblade lovers

# so fast, so shiny, so sharp

# them wizards play down
on pinball way #

# on the boardwalk
way past dark #

# and the boys
from the casino dance #

# with their shirts open
like latin lovers #

# along the shore

# chasin' all them
silly new york girls #

# oh, sandy, the aurora
is risin' behind us #

# the pier lights

# our carnival life forever

# love me tonight

# 'cause i

# i may never see you again

# hey, sandy girl

# now the greasers

# they tramp the streets

# or get busted
for trying to sleep #

# on the beach all night

# them boys in their
spiked high heels #

# ah, sandy, their skins
are so white #

# and me, i just got tired
of hangin' #

# in them dusty arcades

# bangin' them
pleasure machines #

# chasin' the factory girls
underneath the boardwalk #

# where they all promise
to unsnap their jeans #

# you know that tilt-A-Whirl

# way down
on the south beach drag #

# i got on it last night

# and my shirt got caught

# and that joey
kept me spinnin' #

# i didn't think
i'd ever get off #

# oh, sandy, the aurora
is risin' behind us #

# the pier lights

# our carnival life
on the water #

# runnin' crazy
'neath the boardwalk #

# with my old boss' daughter

# well, he ain't my boss
no more, sandy #

# sandy

# the angels have lost
their desire for us #

# i spoke to 'em
just last night #

# and they said they won't
set themselves #

# on fire for us anymore

# but every summer
when the weather gets hot #

# they ride that crazy road
down from heaven #

# on their harleys,
they come and they go #

# you can see 'em
dressed like stars #

# in all the cheap little
seashore bars #

# and parked
with their babies #

# down on the kokomo

# did you hear the cops
finally busted madame marie #

# for tellin' fortunes
better than they do #

# this boardwalk life
for me is through #

# you know, you ought to
quit this scene too #

# oh, sandy, the aurora
is rising behind us #

# the pier lights

# our carnival life forever

# love me tonight

# and i promise
i'll love you forever #

# how about it, sandy?

# oh, oh, ohh

# how about it, sandy?

We played detroit
about, oh, a few months ago,

And we learned this song.

This is one of my favorite
detroit artists.

# princess cards
she sends me #

# with her regards

# her barroom eyes

# shine vacancy

# to see her,
you have to look hard #

# i was wounded
deep in battle #

# but i stood stuffed

# like a soldier undaunted

# to her cheshire smile

# i'll stand on file

# she was all i ever wanted

# but you let
your blue walls #

# get in the way
of these facts #

# honey, get your
carpetbaggers off my back #

# you wouldn't even
give me time #

# to cover my tracks

# you said, "here, boy,
here's your mirror" #

# "and your ball
and your jacks" #

# but they ain't
what i came for #

# and i'm sure
you know that's true #

# baby, i came
for you, for you #

# i came for you

# but you did not
need my urgency #

# for you, for you

# i came for you

# but your life was
one long emergency #

# and your cloud line
urges me #

# and my electric
surges free #

# oh, crawl
into my ambulance #

# your pulse
is getting weak #

# reveal yourself

# just once
for me, baby #

# while you've got
the strength to speak #

# 'cause they're waiting
for you at bellevue #

# with their oxygen masks

# but i could give it
all to you #

# if only you would ask

# and don't call
for your surgeon #

# even he says
it's too late #

# it ain't your lungs
this time, baby #

# it's your heart
that holds your fate #

# don't give me my money

# honey, i don't
want it back #

# you and your pony face

# and your union jack

# you can take
that local joker #

# and teach him how to act

# you know,
i was never that way #

# even, even
when i really cracked #

# didn't you think i knew

# that you were born

# with the power
of a locomotive #

# you could
leap tall buildings #

# in a single bound?

# and your chelsea suicide

# with no apparent motive

# you could laugh

# you could cry

# in a single sound

# your strength
is devastating #

# in the face
of all these odds #

# remember how
i kept you waiting #

# when it was finally
my turn to play the god? #

# and you were
not quite half so proud #

# when i found you broken
on the beach #

# remember how i poured
salt on your tongue #

# and hung just
out of reach #

# and the band, they played
the homecoming theme #

# as i caressed your cheek

# and that ragged,
ragged, jagged melody #

# still clings to me

# like a leech

# and, you know, that medal
you wore on your chest #

# and how it always
got in the way #

# you were like
a little girl with a trophy #

# so soft to buy her way

# we were both hitchhiking

# but you had your ears
tuned to the roar #

# of some
metal-Tempered engine #

# on an alien,
distant shore #

# so you left to find
a better reason #

# than the one
we were living for #

# and it ain't
that nursery mouth #

# that i came back for

# and it ain't the way
that you're #

# stretched out
on the floor #

# 'cause i've broken
all your windows #

# and rammed
through all your doors #

# and who am i to ask you
to lick my sores? #

# you should
know that's true #

# baby, i came for you

# but you did not need

# for you

# baby, i came for you

# but your life was
one long emergency #

# and your cloud line
urges me #

# and my electric

# surges free

# ooh, ooh, ooh

# ooh, ooh, ooh

# they're soppin' and boppin'
and moppin' #

# with little melvin
and invaders #

# missy's
on the dance floor #

# doin' her stuff

# leroy's dancin', doin'
the continental strut #

# so young

# all right

# sent from above

# so young and in love
