Bruce Springsteen - Better Days

Well my soul checked out missing as I sat listening 
To the hours and minutes tickin’ away 
Yeah just sittin’ around waitin’ for my life to begin 
While it was all just slippin’ away 
I’m tired of waitin’ for tomorrow to come 
Or that train to come roarin’ ’round the bend 
I got a new suit of clothes a pretty red rose 
And a woman I can call my friend 
These are better days baby 
Yeah there’s better days shining through 
These are better days baby 
Better days with a girl like you 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bruce+springsteen/better+days_20025155.html ] 
Well I took a piss at fortune’s sweet kiss 
It’s like eatin’ caviar and dirt 
It’s sad funny ending to find yourself pretending 
A rich man in a poor man’s shirt 
Now my ass was draggin’ when from a passin’ gypsy wagon 
Your heart like a diamond shone 
Tonight I’m layin’ in your arms carvin’ lucky charms 
Out of these hard luck bones 

These are better days baby 
These are better days it’s true 
These are better days 
There’s better days shining through 

Now a life of leisure and a pirate’s treasure 
Don’t make much for tragedy 
But it’s a sad man my friend who’s livin’ in his own skin 
And can’t stand the company 
Every fool’s got a reason for feelin’ sorry for himself 
And turning his heart to stone 
Tonight this fool’s halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell 
And I feel like I’m comin’ home 

These are better days baby 
There’s better days shining through 
These are better days 
Better days with a girl like you 

These are better days baby 
These are better days it’s true 
These are better days 
Better days are shining through

Bruce Springsteen - Brilliant Disguise

Bruce Springsteen - Brilliant Disguise: The BOSS!!!



I hold you in my arms as the band plays
What are those words whispered baby just as you turn away
I saw you last night out on the edge of town
I wanna read your mind and know just what Ive got in this new thing Ive found
So tell me what I see when I look in your eyes
Is that you baby or just a brilliant disguise

I heard somebody call your name from underneath our willow
I saw something tucked in shame underneath your pillow
Well Ive tried so hard baby but I just can't see
What a woman like you is doing with me
So tell me what I see when I look in your eyes
Is that you baby or just a brilliant disguise

Now look at me baby struggling to do everything right
And then it all falls apart when out go the lights
Im just a lonely pilgrim I walk this world in wealth
I want to know if it's you I don't trust cause I damn sure don't trust
Myself

Now you play the loving woman I'll play the faithful man
But just don't look too close into the palm of my hand
We stood at the alter the gypsy swore our future was right
But come the wee wee hours maybe baby the gypsy lied
So when you look at me you better look hard and look twice
Is that me baby or just a brilliant disguise

Tonight our bed is cold
Im lost in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on the man

Who doubts what he's sure of
