Album: The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle
Released: 1973

The E Street Shuffle Lyrics


The E Street Shuffle Song Chart
  • The name "E Street" was taken from the name of a road in Belmar, New Jersey, where piano player David Sancious' mother lived. The band needed a name, and one day when they were driving there, Springsteen saw the sign for E Street and thought it should be the name of the band, so his backing group became the E Street Band. Sancious left the band after this album to form a jazz group with E Street drummer Earnest "Boom" Carter.
  • The music was based on "The Monkey Time," a 1963 hit for Chicago soul singer Major Lance.
  • This was the first track on Springsteen's second album, The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle, which made full use of The E Street Band for the first time. Members of the band played on his first album, but it was mostly Bruce and his guitar.
  • The characters in the lyrics were based on people Springsteen knew when he was growing up in New Jersey.
  • Springsteen: "I wanted to invent a dance with no exact steps. It was just the dance you did every day and every night to get by."
  • Bette Midler covered this.

    Baby Come Back To Bed Song Chart
  • This song was inspired by Rumer's romantic relationship with half Iranian, half American composer Rob Shirakbari, who is also her music director, producer and songwriting collaborator. She explained the sultry tune is a "woman-in-her-thirties relationship song, where you can't just walk out if you have a bad argument. It's written from the perspective of a confident man."

  • Greasy Lake is a lake near Howel NJ. It gets its name from the idea that homeless people living around the lake used it for bathing, washing dishes, etc. The homeless people were known as "Gypsy Angels" or the "Spirits In The Night." (thanks, kevin - elizabeth, NJ)
  • Part of Springsteen's first album, it was a #40 US hit for Manfred Mann's Earth Band when they covered it in 1977. They also covered "Blinded By The Light" and "For You" from Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.
  • Springsteen wrote this after Columbia Records rejected his first attempt at an album, telling him to make some songs that could be played on the radio. He came up with this and "Blinded By The Light."
  • This was Springsteen's second single. It was released only in the US and did not chart.
  • The lyrics refer to "Route 88," a road that runs through Ocean County, New Jersey. Springsteen would later sing about "Highway 9" in "Born To Run."
  • Along with "Blinded By The Light," this was one of 2 songs on Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. featuring Clarence Clemons on saxophone. Springsteen's band didn't have a name when this was recorded. By his next album, they were The E Street Band - named after the street where they used to rehearse.
  • This has been a popular live song throughout Springsteen's career. He still occasionally plays it live.
  • The version on Live 1975-1985 was recorded at The Roxy in 1978.

    Being Beige Lyrics


    I don't love you for what it's worth
    So if you're leaving can you hurt
    Cherry blossom, this is goodbye
    Come here lately and you fly

    When they say what it's worth
    The world tells you first
    Then you know where to hurt
    The world's on fire, so
    The world's on fire, so have you heard

    Lover let me please
    Fall on down your knees
    Lover let me please, be the one
    Know the prayers to make
    Flowers made to fade
    And when this world to wait
    It'll wait for us

    The world's on fire, so
    The world's on fire, so have you heard

    Yes I loved you as a matter of fact
    You first are wrapped up, and that's that

    Lover let me please
    Fall on down your knees
    You once made me smile
    When you strayed

    The world's on fire, so
    The world's on fire, so have you heard
    The world's on fire
    The world's on fire, have you heard

    Lover have you breathed
    To make for your relief (To make for your belief)
    So I'm no longer here by your side
    What's to hide

    The world's on fire
    The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Monday)
    The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Tuesday)
    The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Wednesday)
    The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Thursday)
    The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Friday)
    The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Saturday)
    The world's on fire (Until I'm ready on Sunday)

  • This song finds Billy Corgan taking on the culture of social media. He explained to NME: "In essence, being in this culture is about being transparent - if you don't have the flashy pic on your social media and you don't have some cool thing that you're doing every moment of every day, you must be missing out on the party or the selfie at Glastonbury or duh-duh-duh."

    Does This Bus Stop At 82nd Street? Song Chart
  • This is based on people and places Springsteen met in his early years as a songwriter. His father was a bus driver for a time, which helped inspire the song. (thanks, Dirk - Southwest of Freehold, NJ)
  • The barrage of images in the lyrics helped earn Springsteen the tag "The New Dylan," which he would intentionally get away from by writing less introspective, harder rocking songs on his next album, The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle.
  • Springsteen wrote the lyrics first and filled in the music later. The only time he wrote this way was on his first album.
  • Joan Fontaine pops up in the lyrics for no apparent reason. She was an actress who starred in the Alfred Hitchcock movie Rebecca.

    Navajo Rugs Lyrics


    Most slippers dreaming through this peace pipe
    Praying in the dark hoping that I see light
    Trynna stay sharp with a dark vision
    Gotta couple heathens with me trynna bombard the system
    My man just went to jail and brought a gun charge with him
    On top of that other felonies
    I told him hold his head I'll make sure he lives through these melodies
    I hate to see him trapped, wish these raps could just set him free
    Whoever thought selling heart would get you seventeen, that's seventeen
    I mean yesterday was everything if there's no hope for tomorrow
    And money ain't everything, I can go broke tomorrow
    Sometimes I find happiness in a broke down cigar
    In an isolated room on this Navajo wall
    Mind drifting, smoke disappearing through the wall
    I hear the loud voices, that's my homies calling
    Open up the windows, let the angels fall in

    As I bob and weave between stars
    Learn and dream between Mars
    When words are weaved, pictures are painted
    Like Navajo Rugs or woven blankets
    As I bob and weave between stars
    Learn and dream between Mars
    When words are weaved, pictures are painted
    Like Navajo Rugs or woven blankets

    Got so much on my mind, all these thoughts weaving in and out created design
    So intricate like hand spun rugs
    They say they talking outside
    But I hear no love
    I feel the shots in my back
    But there's no slugs
    I brush the dirt off my shoulders
    Wipe away all the mug that's been slung
    They say the sword ain't as mighty as the tongue
    The horns get the attention
    But the war starts with the drum
    808s and low ends beating on my chest like King Kong
    Gorilla warfare, the force here
    You could feel it in the song
    All the warrior in this gone
    I sip Indian style wrapped' in blankets
    Smokin' on the bong, trynna find my inner peace
    Jugglin' stone, never take it for granted, what the struggle is for
    Cuz through that dark hole life is beautiful, like emeralds and gold
    There's diamonds in the dirt, you just gotta dig through some coal

    As I bob and weave between stars
    Learn and dream between Mars
    When words are weaved, pictures are painted
    Like Navajo Rugs or woven blankets
    As I bob and weave between stars
    Learn and dream between Mars
    When words are weaved, pictures are painted
    Like Navajo Rugs or woven blankets

    I woke up among the confused, but yawning
    The bloodstream came to collect dues this morning
    For all the signs we drop, the parachute supplies
    Are limited, coated in images
    Yet the code of the streets leaves our thoughts with no access
    The revenue of colour, all reduced to a blackness
    But aside the thought, I can find the calm
    That's why we close our eyes to concentrate
    The cons debate, against the pros talking first degree
    Murder on the clock, they got time to kill
    I'm intricate to be up in it
    So I defend every minute, cons hoping for dimes to deal
    Perimeters occupied by a few chosen
    To take heed to the fact a few in here are posin'
    On the laws of lies, attracted to the warm like wool
    But don't let it get pulled over your eyes
    Oh, lord

    As I bob and weave between stars
    Learn and dream between Mars
    When words are weaved, pictures are painted
    Like Navajo Rugs or woven blankets
    As I bob and weave between stars
    Learn and dream between Mars
    When words are weaved, pictures are painted
    Like Navajo Rugs or woven blankets

  • Stalley ends his Ohio album with this collaboration with De La Soul. "I actually had the privilege of doing a show with them over in the Czech Republic. We did a festival together," the Ohio rapper recalled to Billboard magazine. "When I got off stage, Posdnuos stopped me and he was like, 'Keep on carrying the tradition.'"

    "After that, we bumped into each other again at SXSW. That was around the time I was working on my album," Stalley continued. "I ran into them backstage -- they were actually about to go on with Gorillaz at the Fader Fort. We were talking and I was like, 'Man, I'm working on the album right now.' He was like, 'Send me something if you want us to get on something.' 'Navajo Rugs' was the perfect record for them to jump on."

    "That to me is like a classic hip-hop record," he concluded. "You don't hear much of that these days in 2014. I just really wanted one of those posse cut type of tracks where everybody's just displaying their lyricism."

    Blinded Song Chart
  • Springsteen talked about this song in detail on an episode of VH1 Storytellers. A lot of the references are personal, to include people he knew or had met on the Boardwalks, or had grown up around, or were just direct personal references to himself:

    "Madman drummers bummers" - Vinnie "Mad dog" Lopez, the first drummer in the E Street Band.

    "Indians in the summer" - Bruce's little league baseball team as a kid.

    "In the dumps with the mumps" - being sick with the mumps.

    "Boulder on my shoulder" - a "chip" on his shoulder.

    "Some all hot, half-shot, heading for a hot spot, snapping fingers clapping his hands" - Being a "know it all kid growing up, who doesn't really know anything."

    "Silicone Sister" - Bruce mentions that this is arguably the first mention of breast implants in popular music - a dancer at one of the local strip joints in Asbury Park.

    He wrote this song in his bedroom, primarily using a rhyming dictionary. Or as Bruce put it, "the rhyming dictionary was on fire." (thanks, John - Columbus, OH)
  • This was Springsteen's first single. It was released only in the US, where it flopped. It was, however, a #1 hit for Manfred Mann's Earth Band in February 1977, becoming the only #1 Hot 100 hit Springsteen ever wrote. The Manfred Mann version was much more elaborately produced, and Springsteen hated it at first. It ended up earning him a very nice payout.
  • Manfred Mann's version replaces the line "Cut loose like a deuce" with "Revved up like a deuce." In their version, "Deuce" was commonly misheard as "Douche." Springsteen's original line makes a lot more sense - a deuce is a 1932 Ford hotrod. On his Storytellers special, Springsteen said (in a jesting manner): "I have a feeling that is why the song skyrocketed to #1."
  • Springsteen wrote this after Columbia Records rejected his first attempt at an album, telling him to make some songs that could be played on the radio. He came up with this and "Spirit In The Night."
  • After eight years playing in bars where audiences usually didn't listen to or couldn't hear the words, Springsteen used his first album to unload a ton of lyrics. All these lyrics helped earn Springsteen the tag "The New Dylan." Singer-songwriters like James Taylor and Kris Kristofferson also shared the comparison, and Bruce went out of his way to shed the tag by making his next album a true rock record.
  • This was the first song on Springsteen's first album. Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. featured a postcard on the cover that fans would look for any time they were near the town.
  • Along with "Spirit In The Night," this was one of two songs on the album featuring Clarence Clemons on saxophone. The E Street Band became a much bigger part of Springsteen's songs on his next album.
  • Springsteen wrote the lyrics first and filled in the music later. The only time he wrote this way was on his first album.
  • The working title was "Madman's Bummers," taken from words in the first line.
  • This was one of the songs that prompted Columbia Records to market the album by claiming "This man puts more thoughts, more ideas and images into one song than most people put into an album."
  • Manfred Mann's cover is so far the only Bruce Springsteen song to top the American charts. Near misses for Bruce have been "Dancing In The Dark (#2 in 1984) and The Pointer Sisters version of "Fire" (#2 in 1979).

  • This was written by Sting and Police drummer Stewart Copeland. Sting remembers writing it in his car on the way home from a late-night recording session in Leatherhead, Surrey, England. He recalled in Lyrics By Sting: "I was thinking about a former musical hero who had dwindled to a mere celebrity, and I was more than willing to pass judgment on his extracurricular activities in the tabloids, never thinking for a moment that I would suffer the same distorted perceptions at their hands a few years later."

    The singer became so wary of the media that he wouldn't even attend his parents' funerals, fearing the press would create a spectacle.

  • This is a reworked version of the Mission: Impossible television theme song, which was originally composed by Lalo Schifrin and was known as the "Burning Fuse." What became the theme was written for a chase scene, but Mission: Impossible creator Bruce Geller liked it better than what Schifrin wrote for the main theme and used it instead. The theme was recorded for the 1996 movie staring Tom Cruise.
  • Clayton and Mullen are the bass player and drummer, respectively, of U2. It was offered to U2 as a group, but Bono and The Edge did not have time to do it.
  • The success of this song prompted producers to have Limp Bizkit rework the theme for the movie's sequel in 2000.

    Rock or Bust Song Chart
  • The title track of AC/DC's fifteenth internationally released studio album finds Brian Johnston crooning, "In rock we trust. It's rock or bust." AC/DC had released fourteen previous songs including the word 'rock', from 1975's "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll)," by way of 1981's "For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) " and 1995's "Hard As A Rock" through to 2008's "Rock 'N Roll Train." Rock or Bust also contains three other rock-monikered tracks, "Rock the Blues Away," "Got Some Rock & Roll Thunder" and "Rock the House."

    Angus Young told The Pulse of Radio why it felt like time to use the word 'rock' in a title again. "Well, 'Rock Or Bust', it's a good, strong title and it's got the word 'rock' in it, you know? [laughs] 'Cause everyone says, jeez, you know, how many songs have they got with 'rock' in the title in it," he said. "But they've got to cut us some slack — I mean, we've made 16 albums, you know."

  • The song opens with a combination of guitars from Angus Young and Malcolm Young's replacement Stevie Young. Brian Johnson said he toyed with the idea of calling the album 'Man Down' in reference to Malcolm Young's absence, due to dementia. He said, "But it's a bit negative and it ('Rock or Bust') was probably just straight from the heart. I like that."
  • The song's music video was shot on October 3-4, 2014 along with the clip for "Play Ball." It was filmed by director David Mallet at Black Island Studios in Middlesex, England.

    The visual finds AC/DC, playing in the round to some of their fans. Phil Rudd was unable to attend and Bob Richards of Shogun filled in for him on drums. Brian Johnson told the audience that Rudd was occupied with a "family emergency" at the time. It later transpired that he was answering murder allegations, which were later dropped.

    Bob Richards told Rhythm magazine he was contacted and asked if he could make his way down to London for the video shoot. "I received a call on the Thursday evening asking if I could step in as Phil was unavailable, so I filled in at the last minute," the Welsh drummer recalled. "It was all hands on deck. I got my kit sorted out and then an early start to London."

    "I heard the songs an hour or so before we went on to the set to start the filming," Richards concluded. "I played it over several times and did a bit of air drumming to it."

    "The band were fantastic," he concluded. "They made me so welcome and we had a great time shooting the videos. They were very encouraging. I could just enjoy the experience."
  • Angus Young told Rolling Stone this song's swinging-thunder riff was something, "I kicked around for years in different forms."
  • Rock or Bust was AC/DC's second album in a row with producer Brendan O'Brien, following Black Ice. This was the first time the band had used the same producer on consecutive albums since Mutt Lange on 1980's Back in Black and the following year's For Those About to Rock We Salute You.

    Brian Johnston told Shaun Keaveny and Steve Lamacq of BBC Radio 6 Musi of O'Brien's production. "Seven days a week, [Brendan] kept the adrenaline pumped all the time and he calls everybody by both their names. He never says 'Brian' or 'Angus.' He's, like, 'Angus Young. C'mon! I want you in here now. Let me get that magic from you. What do you got for me? Brian Johnson, downstairs now. Sing, baby, sing.' And it turned out wonderful. We were excited, and I think that's great, 'cause it comes through in songs. If you sing a song twelve times to get it right, you can tell. If you sing a song just a couple of times, like I did, you can tell it's fresh and it's new. And it was the same for Ang, and it was the same for everyone. [Brendan is] wonderful to work with."

    Angus Young added: "He keeps everyone moving, so nobody's sitting around, going, 'What am I doing next?' Once we had a track down, he would go, 'Right. I'm gonna take this. I'm going down with Brian.' He'd get Brian up. 'While I am doing that, you guys get this track together and start knocking it out. Know all your bits.' So when he'd come back out, we would more or less [have] the track all in order and ready to go."
  • Speaking to Lochlin Cross of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada's 100.3 The Bear radio station, Angus Young explained the Rock or Bust meaning. "The title pretty much sums up AC/DC," he said. "I mean, whatever we did, it was a case of, you went for broke. And that's how it's always been. It's been the way of the band for a long time. I mean, when people would say, 'You should be doing this,' we did [something else]. When [they would say], 'You should be doing this,' we did it our way. We stuck to our guns. That's always how we've been. So 'Rock Or Bust' sums us up. Go for broke."
  • AC/DC, who were snubbed by Grammy voters until 2010 when they won Best Hard Rock Performance for "War Machine," opened the 2015 ceremony with a performance of this song, followed by "Highway To Hell."

    Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl
    Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
    You can sew it up but you still see the tear
    Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
    Baby's got blue skies up ahead
    And in this I'm a rain cloud
    Oh this is a stormy kind of love
    Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

    Oh oh, the sweetest thing
    Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
