Linda Let Me Be the One

The midnight boys are outside
Scraping tears up off the street
Standin' guard beneath the window
Where only Linda sleeps
The leader is a kid named Eddie
Walkin' like an angel in defeat
He trashes her old man's car
Slashes Linda's name in the street
And calls out

Linda will you let me be the one
Linda will you let me be the one
Linda will you let me be the one
Linda will you let me be theh one

In a room full of contenders
Eddie spars 'til he drops to his bed
And surrenders draped in the scarves
He stole from Linda's bedroom
The night he laid at her feet
When the midnight boys were stranded
Down on Cason Street

Linda will you let me be the one
Linda will you let me be the one
Linda will you let me be the one
Linda will you let me be the one

In the basement of St Mary's
Eddie hides from the rain
In with the stolen sisters
Till the streets are dry again
Talkin' fast cars and spare parts
Empty homes and hearts
Distant worlds with strange girls
And kneeling with Linda in the dark

Linda will you let me be the one
Linda will you let me be the one
Linda will you let me be the one
Linda will you let me be the one

A criatividade do Boss é amplamente divulgada nesta edição única, quer pela qualidade das músicas, quer pela quantidade.
As que foram ficando para trás, desde o início da carreira em 1973 até à altura deste lançamento, vêm agora finalmente a sua edição oficial. A maioria só era conhecida através de bootlegs, muitos deles de qualidade duvidosa.
Essencial para um verdadeiro fã de Bruce Springsteen e da sua E Street Band.
