Blinded By The Light Lyrics Artist(Band):Bruce Springsteen
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat With a boulder on my shoulder feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot snappin' his fingers clappin' his hands And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers daddy's within earshot save the buckshot turn up the band And she was blinded by the light Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light She got down but she never got up, she's gonna make it through the night. Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone rolling stone preacher from the east He says: "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it least" And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner all alone watchin' the young girls dance And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone to remind him of the feeling of romance Yeah he was blinded by the light Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night Blinded by the light He got down but she never got tight, but he's gonna make it tonight Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes She said I'll turn you on sonny, to something strong if you play that song with the funky break, And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe to go outside And little Early-Pearly came in by her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride, Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer playin' backyard bombardier Yes and Scotland Yard was trying hard, they sent a dude with a calling card, he said, do what you like, but don't do it here Well I jumped up, turnedaround, spit in the air, fell on the ground Asked him which was the way back home He said take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until night, and then boy, you're on your own And now in Zanzibar a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car hummin' a lunar tune Yes, and the avatar said blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar we're gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon And some kidnapped handicap was complainin' that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last night, Well I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw a gap but figured he'd be all right He was just blinded by the light Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night Blinded by the light Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun If you find some error in Blinded By The Light Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Blinded By The Light Better Version | Reviewer: Christopher | 5/29/2008 I think Springsteen's version of Blinded By the Light is the best. This might be the first version that I heard, but I think it's better for other reasons. I like Springsteen's version because he wrote it about his experiences and people that he came across in Asbury Park. Listening to the song I get the feeling of where the song is coming from and I like the feel to it. I could almost picture myself there listening to Springsteen and the band. I also like how Springsteen says "cut loose like a deuce," in the song, rather than "revved up like a deuce," in the Manfred Mann version. Don't get me wrong, Manfred Mann's version is good. It is different and the most popular. But I prefer Bruce Springsteen's. what??? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/31/2007 From reading these comments I dont think any1 has heard Bruce Springsteen's version of this song. He sings it nothing like it's ever been sung, and the lyrics are significantly different, esp in the 2nd half of the song. He never sings a line with deuce or douche wrapped up in anything. Douche or Duece? Springsteen or Other? | Reviewer: Cal | 7/21/2007 Like daniel said steve miller band and blue oyster cult are great but they just dont make it great. and i always thought it was douche so i looked and it is cut loose like a duece another runner in the night. thanks difference in opinion | Reviewer: Daniel | 5/22/2006 Steve Miller Band takes away from the real meaning of this song and they need to play the originals more. Great song. finally | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/8/2006 the manfred man version of this (that is always on the classic rock station) does this song no justice at all.this original springsteen version is by far the best, and it is also the version that van morrison plays when he covers it live. Also confused | Reviewer: Amanda | 2/12/2006 I totally thought that it said wrapped up like a douche also...so I had to find out if thats what it really said and I see that it doesn't. Even though its a lot funnier thinking it says wrapped up like a douche. so glad to finally know what this says | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/24/2005 For years I was sure that this song was not talking about a douche, but it sure sounded like it. Now I know it's duece and not douche! Thanks!
