"Jungleland"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Man, there's an opera out on the turnpike
Why They're Nonsensical: Why would the Boss stick such a weird lyric in the middle of this very dark song about a gang war? The absurdity of an entire opera in the middle of the Jersey Turnpike would just stop traffic.
Submitted by: Dayna
| "Born to Run"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American Dream,
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines Why They're Nonsensical: What do "we" sweat out on the streets of what "runaway American Dream" - that makes no sense at all! What are "suicide machines" and how do you "ride" through mansions of glory at night? It's complete nonsense!

"Born To Run"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I wanna guard your dreams and visions Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims and strap your hands across my engines Why They're Misrhymed: since when does 'visions ' rhyme with 'engines'. ? as I reviewed the lyrics, I found a whole bunch of misrhymes in this song, but this is the craziest one.

The Misrhymed Lyrics: I woke up last night, shakin'
Shakin' from a dream That all I seen was smiling faces Staring back at me Why They're Misrhymed: Besides the fact that this verse doesn't really make sense to me, 'dream' and 'me' do not rhyme. I like Bruce Springsteen, but his songs have a lot of words like this that almost rhyme but don't.

Why They're Inappropriate: Never pictured the boss as one for pedophilia, but a literal reading of this song sounds as if he's in competition with a young girl's father for her, um, favors. an 11 out of 10 on the disturbing scale.
Submitted by: Boo Radley
| "Darlington County"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: Our Pa's each own one of the World Trade Centers.
For a kiss and a smile, I'll give mine all to you. Why They're Inappropriate: Before 9-11-01, these were really good lyrics. A great pick up line for the unsuspecting girl, but now, I guess the Boss will have to find a different landmark to add into that space.

"Shut Out The Light - Single B-Side - 1984"
The Lyrics: Well deep in a dark forest, a forest filled with rain. Beyond a stretch of Maryland pines there's a river without a name. In the cold black water Johnson Lineir stands.
Why: This song is from Tracks, which isn't a very popular album, but has all of the songs Bruce didn't think would work out in an album. He later made 18 Tracks, which were 18 songs from Tracks that he considered the best. Bruce says "beyond a stretch of Maryland pines there's a river without a name". He is probably talking about somewhere near the ocean, since pines are mainly near the shore. This also isn't just a few pines, it's a whole forest of them "filled with rain". This character known as Johnson Lineir is a Vietnam veteran and is not on the edge of town, but really he is within himself. This B-Side was paired up with Bruce's A-Side of Born in the U.S.A, since they are both about Vietnam veterans and their stories. All of Bruce's songs have a story to tell, but Shut Out The Light is one of his true hidden gems.

The Lyrics: I met her in a Kingstown bar We fell in love I knew it had to end We took what we had and we ripped it apart Now here I am down in Kingstown again
Why: Kingstown in Jamaica is the most famous Kingstown in the world BUT there are Kingstowns in Maryland and Rhode Island. It's more likely that the Kingstown mentioned is the one in the same state as Baltimore. It's just easier to move 3 hours away than a different country.
