FAVORITE LYRICS?

[Midwest Spy]

this is one of my favorite Springsteen songs.

I've always thought he was an above average lyricist, and to me, this is an example.


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 blessings darling
But I got a deal for you right here

I ain't looking for prayers or pity
I ain't comin round searchin for a crutch
I just want someone to talk to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch

- Bruce Springsteen
