It was like Elvis came along and whispered some dream in everybody's ear
Bruce Springsteen

The street's alive as secret debts are paid, Contacts made, they vanished unseen. Kids flash guitars just like switch-blades 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.

Every fool has a reason for feeling sorry for himself.
Bruce Springsteen

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.
Bruce Springsteen

For one kiss, darling, I swear everything I would give. Cause you're a walking, talking reason to live.

Show a little faith there is magic in the night. You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright, and that's alright with me.

When you get fat and lose your hunger. That is when you know the sellout has happened.

You ask for your audience's investment in your music you're in a relationship with them. And their relationship with the E Street Band is separate from whatever else I might do. I like the idea of us being something that people rely on.
