Текст песни:

Well the street lights shine
Down on Blessing Avenue
Lovers they walk by
Holdin′ hands two by two

A breeze crosses the porch
Bicycle spokes spin ′round
Jacket′s on, I′m out the door
Tonight I′m gonna burn this town down

And the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes
Pass me by

Kid′s rubber ball smacks
Off the gutter ′neath the lamp light
Big bank clock chimes
Off go the sleepy front porch lights

Downtown the store′s alive
As the evening′s underway
Things been a little tight
But I know they′re gonna turn my way

And the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes
Pass me by

Frankie′s Diner′s
Over on the edge of town
Neon sign spinnin′ round

Like a cross over the lost and found

Fluorescent lights
Flicker above Bob′s Grill
Shaniqua brings a coffee and asks "fill?"
And says "penny for your thoughts now my poor Bill"

She went away
She cut me like a knife
Had a beautiful thing
Maybe you just saved my life

In just a glance
Down here on Magic Street
Love′s a fool′s dance
I ain′t got much sense but I still got my feet

And the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes
Pass me by

And the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clothes
Pass me by

La la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la la

Текст песни:

I was standing by the river
Where the cold black water runs
I was standing by the river
Where the cold black water runs
I had my good eye to the dark
And my blind eye to the sun

I had all of the riches
I had each and every one
I had all of the riches
I had each and every one
I had my good eye to the dark
And my blind eye to the sun

Well I swore you were my darling
Yeah, you were the only one
Since I swore you were my darling
You were the only one
Had my good eye to the dark
And my blind eye to the sun

@ Bruce Springsteen

Текст песни:

With you I don′t hear the minutes ticking by
I don′t feel the hours as they fly
I don′t see the summer as it wanes
Just a subtle change of light upon your face

Walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away
This is our kingdom of days

I watched the sun as it rises and sets
I watched the moon trace its arc with no regret
My jacket ′round your shoulders, the falling leaves
The wet grass on our backs as the autumn breeze drifts through the trees

Walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away
This is our kingdom of days
This is our kingdom of days

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I do
You whispered "then prove it, then prove it, then prove it, to me baby blue"

When I count my blessings and you′re mine for always
We laughed beneath the covers
and count the wrinkles and the grays

Sing away, sing away, sing away, sing away
Sing away, sing away, my darling, we′ll sing away
This is our kingdom of days
This is our kingdom of days
This is our kingdom of days
This is our kingdom of days
This is our kingdom of days

@ Bruce Springsteen

Текст песни:

We met down in the valley, where the wine of love and destruction flows
There in that curve of darkness where flowers of temptation grow
I left the rest for the others it was you and nothing else
You felt so good to me baby, as good as life itself

You were life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in the black elms
Life itself, in your heart and in your eyes
I can′t make it without you

I knew you were in trouble, anyone could tell
You carried your little black book from which all your secrets fell
You squandered all your riches, your, your beauty and your wealth
Like you had no further use for, for life itself

You were life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in the black elms
Life itself, in your heart and in your eyes
I can′t make it without you

Why are things that we treasure most slip away in time
′Til to the music we grow deaf and to god′s beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart

′Til we fall away in our own darkness
Stranger to our own hearts
And to life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in the black elms

Life itself, in your heart and in your eyes
I can′t make it without you
So here′s one for the road
Here′s one to your health

And to life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in the black elms
Life itself, in your heart and in your eyes
I can′t make it without you

Life itself
Life itself
Life itself
Life itself

Текст песни:

Outlaw Pete...

He was born a little baby on the Appalachian Trail
At six months old he′d done three months in jail
Here at the bank in his diapers and his little bare baby feet
All he said was "Folks, my name is Outlaw Pete."

I′m Outlaw Pete!
I′m Outjaw Pete!
Can you hear me?

At twenty-five a mustang pony he did steal
And they rode around and ′round on heaven′s wheel
Father Jesus, I′m an outlaw killer and a thief
And I slowed down on Lee and I saw my grief

I′m Outlaw Pete!
I′m Outlaw Pete!
Can you hear me?

They cut his trail of tears across the countryside
And where he went, when he wept and died
One night he woke from a vision of his own death
Saddled his pony and rode her deep into the West
Married a Navajo girl and settled down on the res
And as the smooth ?fairy? he held that beautiful daughter to his chest

I′m Outlaw Pete!
I′m Outlaw Pete!
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

Out of the East on an Irish stallion came Bounty Hunter Dan
His heart quickened and burned by the need to get his man
He found Pete peacefully fishing by the river, pulled his gun and got the ?
He said, "Pete, you think you′ve changed, but you have not."
He cocked his pistol, pulled the trigger and shot him ?let it start?
He drew a knife from his boot and pierced him through the heart
Dan smiled as he layed in his own blood dying in the sun
And whispered in Pete′s ear, "We cannot undue these things we′ve done."

You′re Outlaw Pete!
You′re Outlaw Pete!
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

For forty days and nights Pete rode and did not stop
Till he sat high upon an icy mountain top
He watched the hawk on a desert ?? slip and slide
Moved to the edge and dug his spurs deep into his bony side

Some say Pete and his pony vanished over the edge
Some say they remain frozen high upon that icy ledge
The young Navajo girl washes in the river, skin so fair
And braids a piece of Pete′s buckskin chaps into her hair

Outlaw Pete!
OutJaw Pete!
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

Текст песни:

There′s a wonderful world where all you desire
And everything you′ve longed for is at your fingertips
Where the bittersweet taste of life is at your lips
Where aisles and aisles of dreams await you
And the cool promise of ecstasy fills the air
At the end of each working day she′s waiting there

I′m in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
As the evening sky turns blue
A dream awaits in aisle number two

With my shopping cart I move through the heart
Of a sea of fools so blissfully unaware
That they′re in the presence of something wonderful and rare
The way she moves behind the counter
Beneath her white apron her secret remains hers
As she bags the groceries her eyes so bored
And sure she′s unobserved

I′m in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
There′s nothing I can say
Each night I take my groceries and I drift away
And I drift away

Guidance from the gods above
At night I pray for the strength to tell her
When I love I love I love I love her so
Take my place in the check-out line
For one moment her eyes meet mine
I′m lifted up, lifted up, lifted up, lifted up

I′m in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
Though her company cap covers her hair
Nothing can hide the beauty waiting there
The beauty waiting there

I′m in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
I′m in love with the Queen of the Supermarket

As I lift my groceries in to my car
I turn back for a moment and catch a smile
That blows this whole fucking place apart

I′m in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
I′m in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
I′m in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
I′m in love with the Queen of the Supermarket

Well surprise, surprise, surprise
Yeah surprise, surprise, surprise
Well surprise, surprise, come on open your eyes
And let your love shine down

Well surprise, surprise, surprise
Yeah surprise, surprise, surprise
Well surprise, surprise, come on open your eyes
And let your love shine down

Well today is your birthday
We′ve traveled so far we two
So let′s blow out the candles on your cake
And we′ll raise a glass or two
And when the sun comes out tomorrow
It′ll be the start of a brand new day
And all that you have wished for I know will come your way

Well surprise, surprise, surprise
Yeah surprise, surprise, surprise
Well surprise, surprise, come on open your eyes
And let your love shine down

In the hollow of the evening, as you lay your head to rest
May the evening stars scatter a shining crown upon your breast
In the darkness of the morning, as the sky struggles to light
May the rising sun caress and bless your soul throughout your life

Well surprise, surprise, surprise
Yeah surprise, surprise, surprise
Well surprise, surprise, come on open your eyes
And let your love shine down

Well surprise, surprise, surprise
Yeah surprise, surprise, surprise
Well surprise, surprise, come on open your eyes
And let your love shine down (let your love shine down)
Let your love shine down (let your love shine down)
Let your love shine down

Surprise, surprise, come on open your eyes
And let your love shine down

Текст песни:

Sundown, sundown
They′re taking all the tents down.
Where have you gone my handsome Billy?

Sundown, sundown
The carnival train′s leaving town.
Where are ya now my darlin′ Billy?

We won′t be dancing together on the high wire
Facing the lines with you at my side, oh no.
We won′t be breathing the smoke in the fire
On a midway.
Hanging from the trapeze, my wrists waiting for your wrists.
Two daredevils high upon the water′s edge.
You throwing the knife that lands inches from my head.
Sundown.

Moon rise, moon rise, the light that was in your eyes is gone away.
Daybreak, daybreak, the thing in you that made me ache has gone to stay
We′ll be riding the train without you tonight
The train that keeps on moving
It′s black smoke scorching the evening sky.
A million stars shining above us like every soul living and dead
Has been gathered together by God to sing a hymn
Over the old bones.

Sundown, sundown.
They empty out the fairgrounds.
Where are you now my handsome Billy?

@ Bruce Springsteen

Текст песни:

Two, three, four

Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free?
If you′ve ever seen a one trick pony then you′ve seen me
Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making his way down the street?
If you′ve ever seen a one-legged dog then you′ve seen me

Then you′ve seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you′ve seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you′ve seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?

Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and wheat?
If you′ve ever seen that scarecrow then you′ve seen me
Have you ever seen a one-armed man punching at nothing but the breeze?
If you′ve ever seen a one-armed man then you′ve seen me

Then you′ve seen me, I come and stand at every door
Then you′ve seen me, I always leave with less than I had before
Then you′ve seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor
Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?

These things that have comforted me, I drive away
This place that is my home I cannot stay
My only faith′s in the broken bones and bruises I display

Have you ever seen a one-legged man trying to dance his way free?
If you′ve ever seen a one-legged man then you′ve seen me
