you can't break the ties that bind
A cheap romance, you say it's all just,
just a crutch You don't want nothin' that anybody can touch You're
so afraid of being somebody's fool Not walkin' tough baby, not
walkin' cool
You walk cool, but darlin', can you
walk the line? And face the ties that bind The ties that
bind Now you can't break the ties that bind
Oh I'd, I'd rather feel the hurt
inside, yes I would darling Than know, than know the emptiness
your heart must hide Yes I would darling, yes I would darling Yes
I would baby
You sit and wonder just who's gonna
stop the rain Who'll ease the sadness, who's gonna quiet your
pain? It's a long dark highway and a thin white line Connecting
baby, your heart to mine
We're runnin' now but darlin' we will
stand in time To face the ties that bind The ties that bind Now
you can't break the ties that bind

I
seen a girl on a one-way corridor Stealing down a wrong-way
street For all the world like an urban toreador She had wheels
on, on her feet
Well, the cars do the usual dances Same
old cruise and the curbside crawl But the roller girl, she's
taking chances They just love to see her take them all
No fear alone at night She's sailing
through the crowd In her ears the phones are tight And the
music's playing loud
Hallelujah, here she comes Queen
rollerball And enchanté, what can I say? Don't care at all
You know, she used to have to wait
around She used to be the lonely one But now that she can skate
around town She's the only, only one
No fear alone at night She's sailing
through the crowd In her ears those phones are tight And the
music's playing loud
She gets rock 'n' roll and a rock 'n'
roll station And a rock 'n' roll dream She's making movies on
location She don't know what it means
And the music make her wanna be the
story And the story was whatever was the song, what it was Roller
girl, don't worry D.J. play the movies All night long, all
night long
She tortures taxi drivers just for
fun She likes to read their lips Says, "Toro, toro, taxi,
see ya tomorrow, my son" I swear, she let a big truck grease
her hip
Aw, she got her own world in the city,
yeah You can't intrude on her, no, no, no, no She got her own
world in the city The city's been so rude to her
No fears alone at night Sailing
through the crowd In her ears those phones so tight And the
music's playing loud
She gets rock 'n' roll and a rock 'n'
roll station And a rock 'n' roll dream She's making movies on
location She don't know what it means
But the music make her wanna be the
story And the story was whatever was the song, what it was Roller
girl, don't worry D.J. play the movies All night long, all
night long

por Bruce Springsteen, foi gravada em 23 de junho de 1979 e lançada
em 17 de outubro de 1980 no disco The River, o quinto disco de Bruce.
Sairia também em compacto, com Held up without a gun como Lado B.
Foi produzida por Bruce Springsteen, Jon Landau e Steve Van Zandt.
Foi o primeiro hit de Bruce no Billboard Hot 100, chegando ao úmero
5. E também seu primeiro hit no Reino Unido, chegando ao número 44.
Chegou também ao número 5 no Canadá, número 11 na Austria, número
16 na Holanda, número 17 na Suécia, número 24 na Nova Zelandia,
número 33 na Austrália, número 62 na Alemanha Ocidental e numero
84 na Irlanda. A canção surgiu depois de Bruce conhecer Joey Ramone
no Asbury Park, en New Jersey. Ramone pediu à Bruce pra ele fazer
uma canção pros Ramones. Bruce fez hungry heart, mas o produtor de
Bruce Jon Landau não deixou ele mandar pros Ramones, uma vez que
Bruce já havia dado Blinded by the light, Because of the night e
Fire e tinham sido hit com outros cantores. O título foi tirado de
um poema de Alfred Tennyson chamado Ulysses. A voz de Bruce foi
acelerada na gravação, pra aumentar seu alcance vocal, uma técnica
usada por Brian Wilson em 1966, na música Caroline, no, dos Beach
Boys. Dire Straits haviam feito o mesmo em 1978, com Setting me up.
Mark Volman e Howard Kaylan dos Turtles cantaram os backing vocals.
No dia da sua morte, John Lennon elogiou Hungry heart e disse que
estava ao mesmo nível de (Just like) Starting over, que havia sido
lançada três dias após Hungry heart. Foi eleita a canção número
1 de 1980 por Dave Marsh e Kevin Stein. É uma das 7500 canções
mais importantes de 1944 à 2000, de Bruce Polock. É o número 625
da lista de Marsh dos 1001 maiores compactos já feitos. Bruce cantou
e tocou guitarra. Roy Bittan tocou piano. Clarence Clemons tocou sax
barítono. Danny Federici tocou orgão e glokenspiel. Garry Tallent
tocou baixo. Steven Van Zandt tocou guitarra e fez backing vocals.

Darlene Love, entre outros artistas.

crazy on the waltzers But it's the life that I choose Hey, sing
about the six-blade, sing about the switchback And a torture

I'd always tell you where I am In a screaming ring of faces I've
seen her standing in the light She had a ticket for the races,
yeah Just like me she was a victim of the night I put a hand
upon the lever Said, "Let it rock and let it roll" I
had the one arm bandit fever There was an arrow through my heart
and my soul
And the big wheel keep on turning Neon burning
up above And I'm just high on the world Come on and take a low
ride with me girl On the tunnel of love Yeah, love
It's
just the danger, danger when you're riding at your own risk She
said, "You are the perfect stranger" She said, "Baby,
let's keep it like this" It's just a cake walk, twisting
baby, yeah, step right up and say "Hey Mister, give me two,
give me two now, 'cause any two can play"
And the big
wheel keep on turning Neon burning up above And I'm just high
on the world Come on and take a low ride with me girl On the
tunnel of love Oh, love, love
Well, it's been money for
muscle on another whirligig Money for muscle and another girl I
dig Another hustle just to, just to make it big And rock away,
rock away Oh, rock away, rock away
And girl, it looks so
pretty to me Like it always did Oh, like the Spanish City to
me When-a we were kids Hey girl, it looks so pretty to me Just
like it always did Oh, like the Spanish City to me When-a we
were kids
Check it out!
She took off a silver
locket She said, "Remember me by this" She put her
hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss And in the roar
of dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away I could
have caught up with her easy enough But something must have made
me stay
And the big wheel keep on turning Neon burning up
above And I'm just high on the world Come on and take a low
ride with me girl On the tunnel of love Yeah, love, love,
love On the tunnel of love Oh, love, love
And now I'm
searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades Searching
everywhere from steeplechase to palisades In any shooting gallery
where promises are made To rock away, rock away Rock away, rock
away From Cullercoats and Whitley Bay Out to rock away
And

Once I spent my time playing tough
guy scenes But I was living in a world of childish dreams Someday
these childish dreams must end To become a man and grow up to
dream again Now I believe in the end
Two hearts are better
than one Two hearts girl get the job done Two hearts are better
than one
Sometimes it might seem like it was planned For
you to roam empty hearted through this land Though the world turns
you hard and cold There's one thing mister, that I know That's
if you think your heart is stone And that you're rough enough to
whip this world alone Alone buddy there ain't no peace of
mind That's why I'll keep searching till I find my special
one
Two hearts are better than one Two hearts girl get the
job done Two hearts are better than one Two hearts are better
than one Two hearts girl get the job done Two hearts are better
than one Two hearts are better than one Ooh

letra:
It
seems like yesterday But it was long ago Janey was lovely she
was the queen of my nights There in the darkness with the radio
playing low, and And the secrets that we shared The mountains
that we moved Caught like a wildfire out of control 'Til there
was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove And I remember
what she said to me How she swore that it never would end I
remember how she held me oh-so-tight Wish I didn't know now what I
didn't know then
Against the wind We were runnin'
against the wind We were young and strong, we were runnin' against
the wind
The years rolled slowly past And I
found myself alone Surrounded by strangers I thought were my
friends I found myself further and further from my home, and
I Guess I lost my way There were oh-so-many roads I was
living to run and running to live Never worried about paying or
even how much I owed Moving eight miles a minute for months at a
time Breaking all of the rules that would bend I began to find
myself searching Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind A little something
against the wind I found myself seeking shelter against the wind
Well those drifter's days are past me
now I've got so much more to think about Deadlines and
commitments What to leave in, what to leave out
Against the wind I'm still runnin'
against the wind I'm older now but still runnin' against the
wind Well I'm older now and still runnin' Against the
wind Against the wind Against the wind
Still runnin' (against the wind) I'm
still runnin' against the wind (Against the wind) I'm still
runnin' (Against the wind) I'm still runnin' against the
wind (Against the wind) still runnin' (Against the wind)runnin'
against the wind, runnin' against the wind (Against the wind) see
the young man run (Against the wind) watch the young man
run (Against the wind) watch the young man runnin' (Against the
wind) he'll be runnin' against the wind (Against the wind) let the
cowboys ride (Against the wind) aah (Against the wind) let the
cowboys ride (Against the wind) they'll be ridin' against the
wind (Against the wind) against the wind (Against the wind)
ridin' against the wind...
