Springsteens greatist lyric - Page 2

"So I took what I had from the Central Trust
And I bought me a ticket on that close city bus
........................................................
Put your make-up on and get your hair up pretty,
and meet me tonight in Atlantic city
come meet me tonite in Atlantic city."

Quote from memory, so may not be 100%

Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold but with you forever I'll stay
We're goin' out where the sand's turnin' to gold so put on your stockin's baby `cause the night's getting cold
And everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back (Atlantic City)

You and me we were the pretenders
We let it all slip away
In the end what you don't surrender
Well the world just strips away
Girl, ain't no kindness in the face of strangers
Ain't gonna find no miracles here
Well you can wait on your blesses my darlin'
But I got a deal for you right here
(Human Touch - well the whole song is great)

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby
edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
through the middle of my soul
(I'm On Fire)

Now those memories come back to haunt me
they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
that sends me down to the river
though I know the river is dry
(The River)

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
(Thunder Road)

The whole of the "Tunnel of Love" album...but particular props for One Step Up and the aforementioned Valentine's Day. CHILLING.

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 Lawmen run down Flamingo
Chasing the Rat and the barefoot girl
And the kids round here look just like shadows
Always quiet, holding hands
From the churches to the jails
Tonight all is silence in the world
As we take our stand
Down in Jungleland

Jungleland

I would say the entire song.
