She said there was nothing that I could have done
There was nothing nobody could say
Me and you we’ve known each other ever since we were sixteen
I wished I would have known I wished I could have called you
Just to say goodbye Bobby Jean

My tea’s gone cold, I’m wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can’t see at all
And even if I could it’d all be grey, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that its not so bad
Its not so bad
I drank too much last night, got bills to pay
My head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there’ll be hell today
I’m late for work again
And even if I’m there, they’ll all imply that I might not last the day
And then you call me and its not so bad
Its not so bad and
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
Push the door, I’m home at last and I’m soaking through and through
Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down now, I wouldn’t have a clue
Because you’re near me and
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

We’ve being doing this word dance
together for some time I know.
We’ve treating love like a battlefield
and taking it slow.
Will you blink?
What do you think.
The union we propose
Is dangerous I know.
‘Cause love is a game until it’s played
And if it’s lost, it can’t ever be saved.
We have heaven to gain and hell to lose
And the difference is up to me and you.
So if you will, I will stop saying I won’t
And start saying I do. I do.
Life can take a long time
If you make the wrong choice.
But time sure seems to fly by
When I hear your voice.
The stakes are high,
How we will find
The courage to believe?
We will succeed.
‘Cause love is a game until it’s played
And if it’s lost, it can’t ever be saved.
We have heaven to gain and hell to lose
And the difference is up to me and you.
So if you will, I will stop saying I won’t
And start saying I do.
Well our hearts are locked inside an iron box.
We’re both too afraid to reveal our most tender parts, oh.
‘Cause love is a game until it’s played
And if it’s lost, it can’t ever be saved.
We have heaven to win and hell to lose
And the difference is up to me and you.
So if you will, I will stop saying I won’t.
Stop saying I can’t.
Is that what you said?
Cause if you did, I do. I do.
If you want me to.
I do.
If you want me to.
If you want me to.
If you want me to.
If you want me to.
I will try, I will try, I will try.

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 awaySo 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

Springsteen must be psychic, ’cause I have had this song on my mind for a couple of weeks. And the he goes ahead and opens the show for the fans in St. Louis, MO with it. Just ain’t fair to us poor European fans.
And then She Kissed Me is song Phil Spector wrote for The Crystals in 1963. The Beach Boys also recorded a version of this song.
I start up in the north I grow from special seed
I sprinkle it with sensibility
from French and Hungarian snow
I linger in the sprouting until my engine’s full
Then I move across the sea
To European bliss
To language of poets
As I cut the cord of home
I kiss my mother’s mother
look to the horizon
wide eyed, new ground
humbled by my new surroundings
I am a citizen of the planet
My president is kwan yin
My frontier is on an airplane
my prisons: homes for rehabilitating
Then I fly back to my nest,
I fly back with my nuclear but everything is different
So I wait, my yearn for home is broadened,
patriotism expanded by callings from beyond
So I pack my things nothing precious all things sacred
I am a citizen of the planet
My laws are all of attraction
My punishments are consequences
Separating from source the original sin
I am a citizen of the planet
democracy’s kids are sovereign
Where the teachers are the sages
And pedestals fill with every parent
And so, the next few years are blurry,
the next decade’s a flurry of smells and tastes unknown
Threads sewn straight through this fabric
through fields of every color one culture to another
I come alive and I get giddy I am taken and globally naturalized
I am a citizen of the planet
From simple roots through high vision
I am guarded by the angels
My body guides the direction I go in
I am a citizen of the planet
My favorite pastime edge stretching
Besotten with human condition
these ideals are borne from my deepest within

I need your help saving a little bit of Springsteen heritage!
For years Springsteen fans all over the world are tryin’ to save Tillie, a beautiful neon lit mural that once graced one of the walls of the Palace amusement park in Asbury Park, NJ. It took a lot of rallying, money and hard work to make sure it did not perish when they tore down the Palace.
Four years after Springsteen fans helped rescue three iconic murals from the Palace in Asbury Park, and two years since developers were supposed to relocate the murals into preservation sheds, neither the developers nor the City of Asbury Park have honored their promises to preserve the murals including the smiling face of Tillie.
To help preserve Tillie and the other murals, before time runs out, please the preservation petition at www.palacepetition.com and ask your friends and family to help.
I made this photo in 1998, on my 1st trip to New York and New Jersey. The Palace amusement park and Tillie’s face were in pretty good shape then. Not long after, part of the building collapsed and it was later torn down.
You’re the one I think about time after time
You’re the one that comes to me,
Visions in the night
I want to complicate your feelings
I want to heat you up inside
Yeah, I wanna make you mine
I’ll be your sun coming up
I’ll be your dog days
I’ll be your new morning
Kiss you baby
I’ll be the bluebird singing
I’ll keep you warm
I’ll take you deep in
Gonna make my bed beside you
In the bluebells of your soul
Gonna slip into your river, linger in your shoals
And when the stars are bright like fireflies
And the night is black as coal
I’m gonna make you mine
On another side of time
Before the sea runs dry
On another side of time
Where the love runs high
I’m gonna make you mine
Make you mine, make you mine

I should have been at the Giants Stadium tonight when Bruce played Jersey Girl…
I could have… I would have… I should have… Next year Bruce! I promise!
