4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy) [Hammersmith Odeon, London ’75] Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen
Hammersmith Odeon, London ’75
2006
[Intro] This comes to you from Asbury Park, you know... [Verse 1] Sandy, the fireworks are hailin' Over Little Eden tonight Forcin' a light into all those stoned-out faces Left stranded on this Fourth of July [Verse 2] Down in town the circuit's full with switchblade lovers So fast, so shiny and sharp Them wizards play down on Pinball Way On the boardwalk way past dark [Verse 3] And the boys from the casino Dance with their shirts open Like Latin lovers along the shore Chasin' all them silly New York girls [Chorus 1] Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us The pier lights our carnival life forever Love me tonight for I may never see you again Hey Sandy, girl [Verse 4] Now the greasers, they tramp the streets Or get busted for trying to sleep on the beach all night Them boys in their spiked high heels Ah, Sandy, their skins are so white [Verse 5] And me, I just got tired of hangin' in them dusty arcades Bangin' them pleasure machines Chasin' the factory girls underneath the boardwalk Where they all promise to unsnap their jeans [Verse 6] You know that tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag? I got on it last night and my shirt got caught That Joey kept me spinnin' I didn't think I'd ever get off [Chorus 2] Oh, Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us The pier lights our carnival life on the water And I'm crazy, on the boardwalk with my old boss' daughter Well, he ain't my boss no more, Sandy [Verse 7] Sandy, the angels have lost their desire for us I spoke to 'em just last night They said they won't set themselves on fire For us anymore [Verse 8] Every summer, when the weather gets hot They ride that crazy road down from heaven On their Harleys they come and they go See 'em dressed like stars in all the cheap little seashore bars, parked with their babies out on the Kokomo [Verse 9] You hear the cops finally busted Madame Marie For tellin' fortunes better than they do This boardwalk life for me is through You know you ought to quit this scene too [Chorus] Sandy the aurora's rising behind us The pier lights our carnival life forever Oh, love me tonight and I promise I'll love you forever How 'bout it, Sandy?
