My favorite Song

NOTHING MAN

Bruce Springsteen

I don't remember how I felt

I never thought I'd live

To read about myself

In my hometown paper

How my brave young life

Was forever changed

I a misty cloud of pink vapor

Darlin' give me your kiss

Only understand

I am, the nothing man

Around here, everybody acts the same

Around here, everybody acts like nothing's changed

Friday night, the club meets at Al's Barbecue

The sky's still, the same unbelievable blue

Darlin' give me your kiss

Come and take my hand

I am, the nothing man

You can call me Joe

Buy me a drink and shake my hand

You want courage

I'll show you courage you can understand

The pearl and silver

Restin' on my night table

It's just me Lord, pray I'm able

Darlin, with this kiss

Say you understand

I am, the nothing man

and here is

Philadelphia

I was bruised and battered and I couldn't tell

what I felt

I was unrecognizable to myself

Saw my reflection in a window I didn't know

my own face

Oh brother are you gonna leave me

wasting away

On the streets of Philadelphia

I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone

I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone

At night I could hear the blood in my veins

Just as black and whispering as the rain

On the streets of Philadelphia

Ain't no angel gonna greet me

It's just you and I my friend

And my clothes don't fit me no more

I walked a thousand miles

just to slip this skin

The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake

I can feel myself fading away

So receive me brother with your faithless kiss

or will we leave each other alone like this

On the streets of Philadelphia
