01-HUNGRY HEART – C1 Do M
Bruce Springsteen
Got a wife and kids in Baltimore Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back
like a river that don't know where it's flowing
I took the wrong turn and I just kept going
everybody's got a hungry heart
everybody's got a hungry heart
lay down your money and
you play your part
everybody's got a hungry heart
I met her in a Kingstown bar
we fell in love I knew it had to end
we took what we had and we ripped it apart
now here I am down in Kingstown again
everybody's got a hungry heart
everybody's got a hungry heart
lay down your money and
you play your part
everybody's got a hungry heart
02-BRILLIANT DISGUISE – La M
Bruce Springsteen
I hold you in my arms
as the band plays
what are those words whispered baby
just as you turn away
i saw you last night
out on the edge of town
i wanna read your mind
to know just what i've got
in this new thing i've found
so tell me what i see
when i look in your eyes
is that you baby
or just a brilliant disguise
I heard somebody call your name
from underneath our willow
i saw something tucked in shame
underneath your pillow
well i've tried so hard baby
but i just can't see
what a woman like you
is doing with me
so tell me who i see
when i look in your eyes
is that you baby
or just a brilliant disguise
Now look at me baby
struggling to do everything right
and then it all falls apart
when out go the lights
i'm just a lonely pilgrim
i walk this world in wealth
i want to know if it's you i don't trust
'cause i damn sure don't trust myself
Now you play the loving woman
i'll play the faithful man
but just don't look too close
into the palm of my hand
*we stood at the alter
the gypsy swore our future was right
but come the wee wee hours
well maybe baby the gypsy lied
you better look hard and look twice
is that me baby
or just a brilliant disguise
Tonight our bed is cold
i'm lost in the darkness of our love
god have mercy on the man
who doubts what he's sure of
03-INDEPENDENCE DAY – C1 La M
Bruce Springsteen
Well Papa go to bed now it's getting late
Nothing we can say
is gonna change anything now
I'll be leaving in the morning from St. Mary's Gate
We wouldn't change this thing
even if we could somehow
Cause the darkness of this house
has got the best of us
There's a darkness in this town
that's got us too
But they can't touch me now
And you can't touch me now
They ain't gonna do to me
What I watched them do to you
So say goodbye it's Independence Day
It's Independence Day
All down the line
Just say goodbye it's Independence Day
It's Independence Day this time
Now I don't know what it always was with us
We chose the words, and yeah, we drew the lines
There was just no way this house
could hold the two of us
I guess that we were just too much
of the same kind
Well say goodbye it's Independence Day
It's Independence Day all boys must run away
So say goodbye it's Independence Day
All men must make their way come Independence Day
Guitar solo
Now the rooms are all empty down
at Frankie's joint
And the highway she's deserted
clear down to Breaker's Point
There's a lot of people leaving town now
Leaving their friends, their homes
At night they walk that dark
and dusty highway all alone
Well Papa go to bed now it's getting late
Nothing we can say can change anything now
Because there's just different people coming down here now
and they see things in different ways
And soon everything we've known will just be swept away
So say goodbye it's Independence Day
Papa now I know the things you wanted that you could not say
But won't you just say goodbye it's Independence Day
I swear I never meant to take those things away
04-THE RIVER – Mi m
Bruce Springsteen
I come from down in the valley,
where mister when you're young,
They bring you up to do like your daddy done.
Me and Mary we met in high school,
when she was just seventeen,
We'd ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green.
We'd go down to the river,
And into the river we'd dive,
Oh down to the river we'd ride.
Then I got Mary pregnant,
and man that was all she wrote,
And for my nineteenth birthday
I got a union card and a wedding coat.
We went down to the courthouse
and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle,
no flowers, no wedding dress.
That night we went down to the river,
And into the river we'd dive,
Oh down to the river we did ride.
I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company,
But lately there ain't been much work
on account of the economy.
Now all them things that seemed so important,
well mister they vanished right into the air,
Now I just act like I don't remember,
Mary acts like she don't care.
But I remember us riding in my brother's car,
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir.
At night on them banks I'd lie awake,
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take.
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.
That sends me down to the river tonight.
Down to the river,
My baby and I,
Oh down to the river we ride.
