MIND CONTROL AND THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

Don't Look Back
Bruce Springsteen

Cold rain running down the front of my shirt
I'm flat on my back wheels in the dirt
Angel makes her face up out on baker street
She's straddlin; the shifter in my front seat
There's nothing to lose
It's a set-up (heartbreak)
The deck's stacked
So put your foot to the floor
And darling don't look back

Well making night tracks through the blazing rain
Blow them pistons, work (move) in the fast lane
White line burning, pockets full of cash
Angel writes her name in lipstick on my dash
There's nothing to lose
It's a set-up (except a heartbreak) (just a bad break)
The deck's stacked (baby we're back)
Tonight we'll blow off the doors (put your foot to the floor)
And honey we won't look back (and darling don't look back)

We held it in our hearts in the pouring rain
We made it through the heart of a hurricane
We tore it apart and put it together again

We'll wash out sins, girl down in the sea
Angel won't you believe in love for me
(come on meet me tonight darlin' out in the street)
We'll move with the city in the dark
You got to walk it talk it in your heart

There's nothin' to lose
It's a set-up (just a heartache)
The deck's stacked
So put your foot to the floor (and) darling
Tonight we'll blow out (off) the doors darling (baby)
Put your foot to the floor (we're gonna even the score)
And darling don't look back (honey we won't look back)
Don't look back
Ah, baby, don't look back

In Peace,
BlueAngel

TAKE NOTE:

Repetitive: Don't look back

Bring on the Night
Bruce Springsteen

I lie in bed but baby i can't sleep no matter how hard i try
There's something bad, baby, wrong with me
whenever i close my eyes
The dreams of mary keep me awake with every little curve in place
When i walk home in the daybreak
i pray come back home, baby, won't you give me
Darlin' bring on the night, oh yeah darlin', bring on the night oh now darlin', bring on the night

I walk the street, i'm lookin' for romance
I end up stumblin' in some stupid half-trance
As i watch the lovers mix with circumstance
We watch the disco dancers dance

I look for connection in some new eyes
But for protection they're tranquilized
Forbidding close inspection of who's tellin' who
Forbidding close inspection of who's tellin' who lies

Bring on the night, oh yeah darlin', bring on the night
Oh now darlin', bring on the night

Is it as simple as it seems
I don't know what i'm doin' here, is it as simple as it seems
Is it as simple as i fear, well if i'm right . . .

I look for connection in some new eyes
But for protection they're tranquilized
Forbidding close inspection of who's tellin' who
Forbidding close inspection of who's tellin' who
Baby of who's tellin' who lies

Bring on the night, oh yeah darlin', bring on the night
Oh now baby, bring on the night, oh now darlin' bring on the night
Come home darlin', bring on the night
Oh now darlin' bring on the night

In Peace,
BlueAngel

Wages of Sin
Bruce Springsteen

When we fight and i wanna talk it out
You won't say nothing, nothing at all
You just sit there, you won't open that pretty mouth
I think you like keeping my back up against the wall
Wages of sin, you keep me paying
Wages of sin for wrongs that i've done
Wages of sin, you keep me paying
Wages of sin, one by one

I walk in the apartment, there's clothes thrown all over the place
You're crouched in the corner with makeup running down your face
I don't wanna believe what my heart keeps saying
You keep me on the line so you can keep me paying
Wages of sin, we keep paying
Wages of sin for the wrongs that we've done
Wages of sin, we keep paying
Wages of sin, that's how we have our fun

I remember when i was a little boy out where the cottonwoods grow tall
Trying to make it home through the forest before the darkness falls
Baby all the sounds i heard, even if they weren't real
I was running down that broken path with the devil snapping at my heels
I tried so hard, so hard in every way
Swore someday i'd grow up, just throw it all away
Cried all the tears, baby, that i could cry
Stomached all my fears till they came rushin' up inside
Darlin' i'm losin' and it's a mean game
Still i play on and on just the same
Wages of sin, i keep paying
Wages of sin for some wrong that i've done
Wages of sin, i keep paying
Wages of sin for some wrong that i've done
Wages of sin, well i keep paying
Wages of sin, one by one

In Peace,
BlueAngel

Part Man Part Monkey
Bruce Springsteen

They prosecuted some poor sucker in these united states
For teachin' that man descended from the apes
They coulda settles that case without a fuss or fight
If they'd seen me chasin' you sugar
Thru the jungle last night
They'd a called in that jury and a one two three said
'part man part monkey, definitely'

Well the church bell rings from the corner steeple
Man in a monkey suit swears he'll do no evil
Offers his lover's prayer but his soul lies
Dark and driftin and unsatisfied
Well hey bartender tell me what'd ya see
Part man part monkey looks like to me

Well the night is dark the moon is full
The flowers of romance exert their pull
We talk a while my fingers slip
I'm hard and cracking like a whip

Well did god make man in a breath of holy fire
Or did he crawl on up out of the muck and mire
Well the man on the street
Believes what the bible tells him so
But you can ask me mister because i know
Tell them soul-suckin' preachers to come on down and see
Part man part monkey, baby that's me

In Peace,
BlueAngel

Sad Eyes
Bruce Springsteen

Every day here you come walking
I hold my tongue, i don't do much talking
You say you're happy and you're doin' fine well go ahead, baby, i got plenty of time
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie

Well for a while i've been watching you steady
Ain't gonna move 'til you're good and ready
You show up and then you shy away
But i know pretty soon you'll be walkin' this way
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie

Baby don't you know i don't care
Don't you know that i've been there
Well if something in the air feels a little unkind
Don't worry darling, it'll slip your mind

I know you think you'd never be mine
Well that's okay, baby, i don't mind
That shy smile's sweet, that's a fact
Go ahead, i don't mind the act
Here you come all dressed up for a date
Well one more step and it'll be too late
Blue blue ribbon in your hair
Like you're so sure i'll be standing here


(another version)
------------------------------------------

'til the end
Just me and you baby
Just me and you girl
And i remember you even back then
And i remember back then that i swore that for you i'd drive all night
Anytime, anyplace
That for you i'd drive all night
Anytime, anyplace
That for you i'd drive all night
Anytime, anyplace
That for you i'd drive all night
Through the wind
Through the rain
Through the snow
Just to buy you some shoes
Just to check you out
Just to kiss that pretty face
Just to taste your tender charms
Just to sleep
Just to sleep
In your arms

Babe, maybe you wasn't even listening
Maybe you wasn't even listening
But i remember you promised you'd never go anyplace without me
You promised that you'd never leave without me
You swore that you'd never leave without me
And like everything else
And everybody else from back then you promised
And baby you lied
And baby you lied
Baby you lied
Baby you lied
Baby you lied
Little girl you lied

So now you've come back
So now you've come back
So now you've come back
But just what makes you think that it's so easy
Just what makes you think
That it's so easy
Just to stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop

Seaside Bar Song
Bruce Springsteen

Well billy bought a chevy '40 coupe deluxe
Chrome wheels, stick shift
Give her gas, pop the clutch
Little girls on the corner
Like a diamond they shine
Someday billy i'm gonna make 'em all mine
Hey girl, you wanna ride in daddy's cadillac?
Because i love the way your long hair falls down your back

Bo diddley, bo diddley's at the seaside bar
We'll run barefoot in the sand, listen to his guitar
You say your mum's gonna meet you when the morning comes
And your papa's gonna beat you 'cause he knows you're out on the run
I'm gonna live a life of love and tonight you're the one

The highway is alive tonight
So baby do not be frightened
There's something 'bout a pretty girl on a sweet summer
Night
That gets this boy excited
Radio man finally understands and plays you something you can move to
You lay back easy ...
Your girl leans over and says
"daddy, can you turn that radio up any louder?"

Ah, the juke joint's humming
Everybody came down
Little willy and his soul boom putting all that stuff down
Well don't let that daylight steal your soul
Get in your wheels and roll, roll, roll, roll, roll

Mama's gonna meet you when the morning comes
And your daddy's gonna beat you 'cause he knows you're out on the run
But i don't care i'm gonna live and laugh and love while the night's still
Young

In Peace,
BlueAngel

Where the Bands Are
Bruce Springsteen

I hear the guitars ringin' out
Ringin' out down union street
I hear the lead singer shoutin' out, girl
I wanna be a slave to the beat
Yeah, tonight i wanna break my chains
Somebody break my heart
Somebody shake my brains
Downtown there's something that i wanna hear
There's a sound, little girl, keeps ringing in my ear

Chorus:
I wanna be where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
Where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
I get off from work and i grab something to eat
I turn the corner and i drive down your street
Little gray houses darling looks like nowhere
But hey i know you're hiding in there
Come on out for just a little while
You know that heart of stone, girl, it just ain't your style
Tonight i wanna feel the beat of the crowd
And when i tell you that i love you
I wanna have to shout it out loud
Shout it out loud

(chorus)

I hear the guitars ringin' out again
Ringin' on down union street
I hear the lead singer shoutin' out and girl
I wanna be a slave to the beat
And i want something that'll break my chains
Something to break my heart
Something to shake my brains
There's a rocker's special on tonight
So meet me on down
'neath the neon lights

(chorus)

In Peace,
BlueAngel

Youngstown
Bruce Springsteen

Here in northeast ohio
Back in eighteen-o-threejames and dan heaton
Found the ore that was linin' yellow creek
They built a blast furnacehere along the shor
And they made the cannonballs
That helped the union win the war
Here in youngstown
Here in youngstown
My sweet jenny i'm sinkin' down
Here darlin' in youngstown
Well my daddy worked the furnaces
Kept 'em hotter than hell
I come home from 'nam worked my way to scarfer
A job that'd suit the devil as well
Taconite coke and limestone
Fed my children and made my pay
Them smokestacks reachin' like the arms of god
Into a beautiful sky of soot and clay
Here in youngstown
Here in youngstown
My sweet jenny i'm sinkin' down
Here darlin' in youngstown
Well my daddy come on the ohio works
When he come home from world war two
Now the yard's just scrap and rubble
He said "them big boys did what hitler couldn't do.
"these mills they built the tanks and bombs
That won this country's wars
We sent our sons to korea and vietnam
Now we're wondering what they were dyin' for
Here in youngstown
Here in youngstown
My sweet jenny i'm sinkin' down
Here darlin'in youngstown
Here in youngstown
From the monongahela valley
To the mesabi iron range
To the coal mines of appalachia
The story's always the same
700 tons of metal a day
Now sir you tell me the world's changed
Once I made you rich enough
Rich enough to forget my name
And youngstown
And youngstown
My sweet jenny i'm sinkin' down
Here darlin' in youngstown
When i die i don't want no part of heaven
I would not do heaven's work well
I pray the devil comes and takes me
To stand in the fiery furnaces of hell

In Peace,
BlueAngel
