Nonsensical Lyrics:
"Promised Land"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Workin' all day in my daddy's garage,
Driving all night chasing some mirage, Pretty soon, little girl, I'm gonna take charge. Why They're Nonsensical: Firstly, this is a beautiful song from a profoundly brilliant album. However, mirages are a phenomenon caused by the sun's reflection from and heating of the Earth's surface. Therefore, generally only psychotics would see them at night. Furthermore, the narrator isn't gonna take charge of anything until he budgets in time for some sleep.
Submitted by: Bob
| "I'm On Fire"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
Why They're Nonsensical: Everything I hear this line I think Bruce Springsteen wet the bed. Isn't he a little too old to be wetting his sheets? lol

Misrhymed Lyrics:
"Born To Run"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I wanna guard your dreams and visions Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims and strap your hands across my engines Why They're Misrhymed: since when does 'visions ' rhyme with 'engines'. ? as I reviewed the lyrics, I found a whole bunch of misrhymes in this song, but this is the craziest one.
Submitted by: GOLLUM
| "Trouble River"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: I woke up last night, shakin'
Shakin' from a dream That all I seen was smiling faces Staring back at me Why They're Misrhymed: Besides the fact that this verse doesn't really make sense to me, 'dream' and 'me' do not rhyme. I like Bruce Springsteen, but his songs have a lot of words like this that almost rhyme but don't.

| "Pink Cadillac"
The Insulting Lyrics: You may wonder how come I love you
When you get on my nerves like you do ...I love you for your pink Cadillac Why They're Insulting: Springsteen is basically saying that he doesn't love this woman at all, he just likes her car. It's an awesome song, though.

Inappropriate Lyrics:
"I'm On Fire"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: Hey little girl is your daddy home? did he go and leave you all alone? I've got a bad desire oh oh oh I'm on fire. tell me now baby is he good to you and can he do to you the things I don't do I can take you higher oh oh oh I'm on fire.
Why They're Inappropriate: Never pictured the boss as one for pedophilia, but a literal reading of this song sounds as if he's in competition with a young girl's father for her, um, favors. an 11 out of 10 on the disturbing scale.
Submitted by: Boo Radley
| "Darlington County"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: Our Pa's each own one of the World Trade Centers.
For a kiss and a smile, I'll give mine all to you. Why They're Inappropriate: Before 9-11-01, these were really good lyrics. A great pick up line for the unsuspecting girl, but now, I guess the Boss will have to find a different landmark to add into that space.
