1977, conseguiu o número 1 no Billboard Hot100, atingindo TOP10

compôs com um dicionário de rimas, pra poder achar as palavras
apropriadas. Madman drummers se refere a Vini Lopez, conhecido como
Madman. Indians in the summer era o nome do time de Bruce quando era
pequeno. Teenager diplomat se refere à sua personalidade quando era
adolescente. Bruce cantou, tocou guitarra, baixo e teclados. Vini Mad
Dog Lopez tocou bateria e fez backing vocals. Clarence Clemons tocou

letra:
Madman
drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into
his hat With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I
tripped the merry-go-round With this very unpleasing sneezing and
wheezing, the calliope crashed to the ground
Some
all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot, snappin' his fingers,
clappin' his hands And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a
lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand And now young Scott with
a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the
sand And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers, "Daddy's
within earshot,
Save
the buckshot, turn up the band"
And she was blinded by
the light Oh, Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light She got down but she never got tight,
but she'll make it alright
Some brimstone baritone
anti-cyclone rolling stone preacher from the East He says,
"Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where
they expect it least" And some new-mown chaperone was
standin' in the corner all alone, watchin' the young girls dance And
some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone to remind
him of the feeling of romance
Yeah, he was blinded by the
light Oh, Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light He got down but he never got tight, but
he's gonna make it tonight
Some silicone sister with her
manager's mister told me I got what it takes She said, "I'll
turn you on, sonny, to something strong if you play that song with
the funky break" And Go-Cart Mozart was checkin' out the
weather chart to see if it was safe to go outside And little
Early-Pearly came by in her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a
ride
Oh,
some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer, playin' backyard
bombardier Yes, and Scotland Yard was trying hard, they sent some
dude with a calling card, he said, "Do what you like, but don't
do it here" Well, I jumped up, turned around, spit in the
air, fell on the ground and asked him which was the way back home He
said, "Take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until
night, and then, boy, you're on your own"
And
now in Zanzibar, a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car, hummin' a
lunar tune Yes, and the avatar said, "Blow the bar but first
remove the cookie jar, we're gonna teach those boys to laugh too
soon" And some kidnapped handicap was complainin' that he
caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last night Well, I
unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw a gap but figured
he'd be all right
He was just blinded by the light Cut
loose like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the
light Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun
Oh,
but Mama, that's where the fun is I was blinded I was blinded
I was blinded

A
letra:
Ticking away the
moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in
an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home
town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired
of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain But You
are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today And
then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told
you when to run, you missed the starting gun
So you run and you run
to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up
behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way but you're
older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting
shorter never seem to find the time Plans that either come to
naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet
desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is
over Thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again I
like to be here when I can
When I come home cold
and tired It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the
field Tolling on the iron bell Calls the faithful to their
knees To hear the softly spoken magic spell

A
letra:
Many's
the time I've been mistaken And many times confused Yes, and
I've often felt forsaken And certainly misused
Oh, but I'm
alright, I'm alright I'm just weary to my bones Still, you
don't expect to be bright and bon vivant So far away from home, so
far away from home
And I don't know a soul
who's not been battered I don't have a friend who feels at ease I
don't know a dream that's not been shattered Or driven to its
knees
Ah but it's alright,
it's alright For we lived so well so long Still, when I think
of the Road we're traveling on I wonder what's gone wrong I
can't help it, I wonder what has gone wrong
And I dreamed I was
dying I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly And looking back
down at me Smiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was
flying
And high up above my
eyes could clearly see The Statue of Liberty Sailing away to
sea And I dreamed I was flying
We come on the ship
they call The Mayflower We come on the ship that sailed the
moon We come in the age's most uncertain hours And sing an
American tune
Oh, and it's alright,
it's alright, it's alright You can't be forever blessed Still,
tomorrow's going to be another working day And I'm trying to get
some rest That's all I'm trying to get some rest

up, stand up: don't give up the fight!
Preacherman, don't tell
me, Heaven is under the earth. I know you don't know What
life is really worth. It's not all that glitters is gold; Half
the story has never been told: So now you see the light, eh! Stand
up for your rights. Come on!
Get up, stand up: stand up for
your rights! Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight! Get up,
stand up: stand up for your rights! Get up, stand up: don't give
up the fight!
Most people think, Great God will come from
the skies, Take away everything And make everybody feel
high. But if you know what life is worth, You will look for
yours on earth: And now you see the light, You stand up for
your rights. Jah!
Get up, stand up! (Jah, Jah!) Stand up
for your rights! (Oh-hoo!) Get up, stand up! (Get up, stand
up!) Don't give up the fight! (Life is your right!)
Get
up, stand up! (So we can't give up the fight!) Stand up for your
rights! (Lord, Lord!) Get up, stand up! (Keep on struggling
on!) Don't give up the fight! (Yeah!)
We sick and tired of
your ism-skism game Dying and going to heaven in a Jesus name,
Lord. We know when we understand: Almighty God is a living
man. You can fool some people sometimes, But you can't fool all
the people all the time. So now we see the light (What you gonna
do?), We gonna stand up for our rights! (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)
So
you better: Get up, stand up! (In the morning! Git it up!) Stand
up for your rights! (Stand up for our rights!) Get up, stand
up! Don't give up the fight! (Don't give it up, don't give it
up!)
Get
up, stand up! (Get up, stand up!) Stand up for your rights! (Get
up, stand up!) Get up, stand up! ( ... ) Don't give up the

A
letra:
Sandy, the
fireworks are hailing over Little Eden tonight Forcing a light
into all those stony faces left stranded on this warm July Down in
the town, the Circuit's full of switchblade lovers, so fast, so
shiny, so sharp As the wizards play down on Pinball Way on the
boardwalk way past dark And the boys from the casino dance with
their shirts open like Latin lovers on the shore Chasing all them
silly New York virgins by the score
And Sandy, the aurora is
rising behind us This pier lights our carnival life forever Oh,
love me tonight, for I may never see you again Hey, Sandy girl My,
my, baby
Now, the greasers, ah, they tramp the streets or get
busted for sleeping on the beach all night Them boys in their high
heels, ah, Sandy, their skins are so white And me, I just got
tired of hanging in them dusty arcades, banging them pleasure
machines Chasing the factory girls underneath the boardwalk where
they all promise to unsnap their jeans And you know that
tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag I got on it last night
and my shirt got caught And they kept me spinning, babe, didn't
think I'd ever get off
Oh, Sandy, the aurora is rising behind
us This pier lights our carnival life on the water Running,
laughing 'neath the boardwalk, ah, with the boss's daughter I
remember, Sandy, girl Na, na, na, na, na, baby
Sandy, that
waitress I was seeing lost her desire for me I spoke with her last
night, she said she won't set herself on fire for me anymore She
worked that joint under the boardwalk, she was always the girl you
saw bopping down the beach with the radio The kids say last night
she was dressed like a star in one of them cheap little seaside bars,
and I saw her parked with lover boy out on the Kokomo Did you hear
the cops finally busted Madame Marie for telling fortunes better than
they do For me this boardwalk life is through, babe You ought
to quit this scene too
Sandy, the aurora is rising behind
us This pier lights our carnival life forever Oh, love me
tonight and I promise I'll love you forever Oh, I mean it, Sandy,
girl My, my, my, my, my baby Yeah, I promise, Sandy, girl Sha,
la, la, la, la, baby

long you live and high you fly And smiles you'll give and tears
you'll cry And all your touch and all you see Is all your life
will ever be
Run, rabbit run Dig
that hole, forget the sun And when at last the work is done Don't
sit down, it's time to dig another one
For long you live and
high you fly But only if you ride the tide And balanced on the
biggest wave You race towards an early grave

Well, the rain exploded
with a mighty crash As we fell into the sun And the first one
said to the second one there "I hope you're having fun"
Band on the run, band
on the run And the jailer man and sailor Sam Were searching
everyone For the band on the run, band on the run For the band
on the run, band on the run
Well, the undertaker
drew a heavy sigh Seeing no one else had come And a bell was
ringing in the village square For the rabbits on the run
Band on the run, band
on the run And the jailer man and sailor Sam Were searching
everyone For the band on the run, band on the run
Yeah, the band on the
run The band on the run Band on the run, Band on the run
Well, the night was
falling as the desert world Began to settle down In the town
they're searching for us everywhere But we never will be found

on the run And the county judge who held a grudge Will search
forever more For the band on the run, the band on the run Band
on the run (Yeah) The band on the run (Yeah)

Green
fields and rolling hills Room enough to do what we will Sweet
dreams of yestertime are running though my mind Of a place I left
behind, been so long, I can't remember when I've been to Canaan
and I want to go back again
Been so long, I'm
living till then Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest
until I go back again. Though I'm content with myself Sometimes
I long to be somewhere else I try to do what I can, but with our
day to day demands We all need a promised land.
Been so long, I can't
remember when I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again Been
so long, I'm living till then 'Cause I've been to Canaan and I
won't rest until I go back again. Oh I want to be there in the
wintertime With a fireplace burning to warm me And you to hold
me when it's stormy
Been so long, I can't
remember when I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again Been
so long, I'm living till then.
