Friday - two songs... in These titles mean nothing.

… of Springsteen’s. I get them mixed up, even though they are not a like at all.

I seem to remember from I think Peter James Carlin’s Bruce, that Springsteen was encouraged to write I’m on Fire to make sure the Born in the USA album had a sure fire hit. Bruce thought it was a little direct in its appeal.

The Dancing in the Dark video is of course known for its Courtney Cox appearance. I tried to find that video for you but it seems to be out of commission. Maybe later when I have more time.

Meanwhile here’s what wiki has to say about the album itself.

Meanwhile two, here are the lyrics to both songs.

I’m on fire…

Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
I’m on fire

Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can he do to you the things that I do
I can take you higher
I’m on fire

Sometimes it’s like someone took a knife baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my soul

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the
Middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I’m on fire

(found ‘em)

“Dancing In The Dark”

I get up in the evening
and I ain’t got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain’t nothing but tired
Man I’m just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

You can’t start a fire
You can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
even if we’re just dancing in the dark

Message keeps getting clearer
radio’s on and I’m moving ‘round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain’t getting nowhere
I’m just living in a dump like this
There’s something happening somewhere
baby I just know that there is

You can’t start a fire
you can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
even if we’re just dancing in the dark

You sit around getting older
there’s a joke here somewhere and it’s on me
I’ll shake this world off my shoulders
come on baby this laugh’s on me

Stay on the streets of this town
and they’ll be carving you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
hey baby I’m just about starving tonight
I’m dying for some action
I’m sick of sitting ‘round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
come on now baby gimme just one look

You can’t start a fire sitting ‘round crying over a broken heart
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
You can’t start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
This gun’s for hire

Weather - google says negative 1at 3 am, wind 6 mph from the south, humidity 79%. That south wind is bringing us spring. We have WARM temps predicted for the weekend.

The Buick came home last night and I get to try it out on the way to work today. I don’t know what exactly it took to fix it or how much it cost. Jim is going in to pay today. I do know it had German spark plugs (Bosch) that Larre said were in good shape so he left them in. You gotta love your mechanic.

Have a good day everyone. Weekend is on its way!
