Show a little faith there's magic in the night
有很长一段时间，我对Bruce Springsteen的态度都在不断摇摆。有时候觉得他是最Hardcore的Rocker，和E Street Band的LIVE吊爆了，以至于满世界找他的演唱会视频看；有时候又觉得他唱歌把肺都喊爆了我还听不清楚他在唱什么，吉他弹的糟糕还无时无刻不挂在身边，今年格莱美唱开场不但没有惊喜，最后客串Paul McCartney的Guest Guitarist还莫名其妙出糗；总之我对BOSS很反复。
Born To Run这张专辑在我身边徘徊了很多次，里面差不多每首歌都听过几遍，Thunder Road我听过很多遍，LIVE也看过几个版本，但是仍然固执的认为这是Bruce最被高估的一首歌，直到昨天中午听到2009年Glastonbury的这个版本，看了两遍视频，第一次对照歌词认真听了一遍，听的我头皮发麻皮肤发冷，感觉全身的血液都冲到脑袋，在温暖的办公室几乎开始打寒战，这是怎样的一首私奔之歌啊！我不知道这首歌曾今帮助过多少美国屌丝成功说服心中的Mary女神登上自己的Chevrolet前座奔向这条Dusty Beach Thunder Road，但是这首歌当时肯定把热血的屌丝们自己给结结实实的感动了。
Thunder Road lyrics
The screen door slams
Mary' 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 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
Show a little faith there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright 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 saviour 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 on down the tracks
Oh-oh come take my hand
We're riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh-oh Thunder Road oh Thunder Road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run
Oh 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
And I know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free
All the promises'll 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
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they're gone
On the wind so Mary climb in
It's town full of losers
And I'm pulling out of here to win
