Bruce Springsteen - Meet Me In The City Lyrics
Hey girl I'm calling all stations
Blowing down the wire tonight
I'm singing through these power lines
And I'm running on time and feeling alright
Skipping over the currents in the air
Coming across your radio station
Calling out nation to nation
If you can hear me then say alright
And if you can, meet me in the city tonight
I was busted for feeling no pain
Charged with doing things I can't explain
Picked up for parole violation
Locked with the boys in the subway station
Handcuffed on the killing floor
And if you're sick, if you're tired, if you're broken
Check the line, check the time, check the action, check the score
Come and get me if I ain't right,
But if I am, meet me in the city tonight!
Everybody's lost in romance
Do you feel the way I feel ohhh
I'm just searching girl
For the blood, for the bone, for the muscle, for what's real
I was busted for feeling no pain
Charged with doing things I can't explain
Picked up for parole violation
Locked with the boys in the subway station
I pushed my way through the hardened crowd
I shoved my way through the hardened crowd
Past the sign saying this is not allowed
To where someone standing straight is
Shouting out loud
Handcuffed to the jailhouse door
Transmitting from the gallow's floor
And if you're sick, if you're tired, if you're broken
Check the line, check the time, check the action, check the score
If you can holler then say alright
If you can holler then say alright
If you can holler then say alright
If you can holler then say alright
If you can holler then say alright, and if you can
Meet me in the city tonight! [x3]
In the city, meet me in the city tonight! [x4]

Voleibol Fan Milano 5 luglio 2016... :)
should have been on the album
A "new" song from Bruce...love it. keep doing you, Boss!! we love you!
Why didn't he put this track in the album? Is so fuckin beautiful. <3
Taking my 16-year old daughter and 9-year old son to the show in Atlanta. Can. Not. Wait.
Great song to open The River tour in Pittsburgh!
muy bueno
great performance of this song on snl last month...
Thank you Boss for your amazing music which is part of my life!
Damn!! When i heard this at SNL he perform i like this song!!
love it love it love it.. I love Bruce Springsteen forever!
Wow this is a great tune!
Love it , great melody, great lyrics. They were banging some killer grooves about back then. Bit of "night fire " going on . Sweet
Awesome
if Bruce does the tour in early 2016 like expected I can picture this opening shows. Likely will make it's live debut on SNL.
Bruce is the best
Superfantisco Bruce !!!
finally new songs for everybody
I love you forever
thank you E street Band
Wonderful BIG MAN
Me encanta esta canción
Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song is absolutely incredible! Why were you hiding this masterpiece? Blown away!
I liked the slower version when it was called Jackson Cage.
Sounds nothing like Jackson Cage
Clean your ears Bill.
@Luther Lee Boggs LOL whatever you like what you like and I'll like what I like...
Well, sounds like Bruce...but that's the best I can say about it.
Sorry, but there's really nothing special or unique here.
Love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One hidden diamond
This must be a rerecorded version of the song from 1980.
New position in the charts of Polish Radio 3! Just voted :)
Definitely 2015 voice, not River era voice. A shame Bruce can't just put out his actual tossed off music, that is what an outtake truthfully is or is supposed to be. This version is a contemporary re-imagined version of a River album outtake. Nothing wrong with that, but I wish they would release the Telegraph Hill Lost Masters originals as well. They could easily be made available as downloadable extras. These have bluffed or incomplete lyrics and mistakes or whatever, but many of the performances and vocals are much hotter. At least offer it just for comparison and for authenticity sake. I can appreciate wanting to put out a finished and polished product, but I'm afraid people will never know just how smoking hot this band really was with this often watered down rerecorded stuff and the modern old guy voice.
I'm 100% certain the vocals are the only redone parts
+Jake K It sounds like there is at least a little musical polishing up as well. At least as compared to the Lost Masters outtakes I have heard. Certainly its likely we haven't heard every take though, so it very well could be entirely original River era music.
Wow! imádom!
And if you're sick, If you're tired, If you're broken
Check the line, Check the time, Check the action, Check the score
FUCK Bruce why was this in the vault for so long?!?!?
another great song buried. Who else can bury great song for 35 years. No One.
I love this era so very grateful and eager to buy this but not a fan of rerecord ed lyrics. Looking forward for the pros hot Tempé show as I have already most of the rest
soo happy best Springsteen and the E Street Band era! 9 yrs old i became a diehard wen this album dropped 35 yrs ago. the most NYC street cred album they ever made. SVZ is all over this masterpiece. ms Bruce Juice i heard it first from u. so happy bc us diehards know this only existed in pcs so finally it's here. Greatest album ever The River. thank u Bruce!!!
Very much a song from the River era...yet another great song from the Mozart of rock
sentiamola senza stancarci..
Wow!!! This is the Bruce we all know and fell in love with !!! Rock & Roll Poetry, all charged up in Life's Romance, and the possible warm romance with a girl. Wrapped up in a great song/arrangement that only Bruce can kick out. I LOVE this song !! ♫♫
Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuce x
It sounds like "Radio, Radio" by Elvis Costello & the Attractions (This Year's Model, 1978)
Good stuff from the Boss. Hoping for 2016 US tour !!
semplicemente The Boss
Alright
thank u for rocking me in 2015 .. sick of canned autotune.
I meet you in my city , every night , brother Bruce.
Very good. It's the energy from 80's album from Bruce, with the E Street Band on the top!!!
Sounds like a cross between Roulette and All the way home...great stuff though.
Great song!
+Alain Bruno I like it too
+Alain Bruno he has a good voice
+Alain Bruno agreed
THIS SONG IS TERRIBLE! You need to listen to artists like:
YouMeAtSix
Calvin Harris
Lily Allen
BringMeTheHorizon
Shawn Mendes
Melanie Martinez
Chainsmokers
Panic! at the disco
Disclosure
Example
Wilkinson
Ed Sheeran
Ellie Goulding
Justin Bieber
Kanye West
Miley Cyrus
Taylor Swift
Selena Gomez
Big Sean
Fetty Wap
And many more....(let the hate comments begin)
@New Damage Yep
@Michael Smith I find it interesting how you're calling me the idiot, when you're the one that couldn't even notice the joke...
+Christina Tambua if its a joke then you have my applause!
Funny joke
Ah...you almost got me, then I saw "Justin Bieber"--good one!
l feel the spirit and fuel......nice.....
awwh...yea, lam feeling this.....so great!
It's wonderful!
Awesome. Danny and Roy
Alright
This is going to be one fine collection!
Well ALL RIGHT then!!! All Right already. It sounds like Scooter' found his groove all right!!! all right!!!
There will be Good Rockin in the City Tonight!!!
What a great song :)
hisssssss
Missed you Boss!!
Greeeeaaat
Fucking love it... And it's a fucking OUTTAKE!!!! This man is the boss
+bobcharlotte I know, eh?!? I always say that I wish I could create stuff as good as his table scraps.
@incub8 Watching the intro to his Kennedy Center Honors.. Tears;)
+bobcharlotte . Ha! Great intro from Jon. When Jon Stewart was younger (pre-2000s), I thought he looked a lot like a young Bruce.
This should have made the album It's that good!!! Bruuuuccceee!!!
This song is epic!!!
Clarence!!
Best Boss Era
I hear All The Way Home
+bram baert Blasphemy! (Unless you're talking about Spinal Tap's song...LOL)
1) Definitely "Blowin' down the wire"
2) Definitely "Skippin' over the currents in the air"
3) "For the BREATH, for the bone for the muscle for what's real"
4) "Transmitting from the gallows (with an "s") floor"
5) I think he's saying "I pushed my way through the HEART OF THE Crowd"
Also at the end of the second (and fourth) verse, I'm thinking he might be saying "bored then" instead of "broken" which would carry the rhyme through: floor, doors, bored, score.
+DPLtube I also think he's saying "Past the sign that says this is not allowed" That is "I shoved my way through the heart of the crowd, past the sign saying 'this is not allowed' -- the way of someone standing straight and shouting out loud." This seems to make more linear sense.
ADORO.💖
Great song! Is this a new vocal track recorded over the 80 stems? Kind of like what was done on the Darkness special edition a couple of years ago, I'm not a fan of Lucas returning to the Star Wars movies to touch them up but this I don't mind especially if the vocal track was incomplete or maybe lyrics not finalised this is great Bruce is revisiting these gems cleaning them up singing in that "River" period voice! Can't wait for this package.
A million times, yes!!!
Prontiago bambelucca at Jubilee Clock zindambonco popalora, vizz Brucio Springsteenio on Harlesden Road High mit biggest E Street Topfannio, MGS Dave! Vot dayz of joy!
After seeing him singing the entire album at Madison Square Garden, the box set! Great! Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil.
As always Bruce Springsteen makes my day, my life better. Thanks Boss!
Brrrruuuuuuccccceeeeeee!!!!! Can't wait
Can't wait for this live in concert!
Bellissssimo!
Great song!
What a great song. Amazing that this is a bit of a throwaway to Springsteen and it's still great.
First time we're hearing Jake playing sax on a studio song right? Or is this an 70's outtake?
+Jerome998 Jake played sax on the studio version of American Skin (41 Shots).
+Jerome998 second what Adam said, and this is an 80s out-take that never made the cut
Its Clarence I can easily tell. Jake and Clarence have different tones. Clarence you get a more powerful sax sound. While jake you get a medium sax sound.
old song but in my opinion bruce's voice is her 2015 voice..not 80's
Its definitely re-recorded, just like most of The Promise was.
+Niko Hans yes, i agree.
+Giuseppe Ravenda
Agreed, but it's still a great tune!
+Giuseppe Ravenda yes your opinion is correct
+Giuseppe Ravenda Yah it does sound like his most current vocals.
sentire ancora clarence...
Yes! Så boka Ullevi 20016 nu.
Håller med
+MsNinjaA hell yeah
Yes..... Klink lekker!!!! I Love IT......
*I* *took* *one* *for* *the* *team*..... *LYRICS* *BELOW*
Hey girl i'm calling all stations
Blowing down the (*widened* *night*/*wire* *tonight*)
I'm singing through these power lines
And i'm running on time and feeling alright
Skipping over the curves in the air
Reaching to see if you're out there
Coming across your radio station
Calling out nation to nation
If you can hear me then say alright
And if you can't, Meet me in the City Tonight
I was busted for feeling no pain
Charged with doing things i can't explain
Picked up for parole violation
Locked with the boys in the subway station
Handcuffed on the killing floor
Transmitting from behind these jailhouse doors
And if you're sick, if you're tired, if you're broken
Check the line, Check the time, Check the action, Check the score
Come and get me if i ain't right,
But if i am, Meet me in the City Tonight!
Everybody's lost in romance
Do you feel the way i feel ohhh
I'm just searching girl
For the (*blood*?), For the bone, For the muscle, For what's real
*Bridge*
*Sax* *Solo*...
I was busted for feeling no pain
Charged with doing things i can't explain
Picked up for parole violation
Locked with the boys in the subway station
I pushed my way through the (*heartened*/*heart of the*) crowd
I shoved my way through the (*heartened*/*heart of the*) crowd
Past the sign saying this is not allowed
The way someones standing straight
Shouting out loud
Handcuffed to the jailhouse door
Transmitting from the gallow floor
And if you're sick, If you're tired, If you're broken
Check the line, Check the time, Check the action, Check the score
If you can holler then say alright
If you can holler then say alright
If you can holler then say alright
If you can holler then say alright
If you can holler then say alright, and if you can't...
(Meet me in the city tonight! x3)
(In the city, meet me in the city tonight! x4)
Probably a couple errors somewhere in there. Did the best i could.
+tosleepanddream It sounds like breath to me?? Not blood.
Thanks buddy for lyrics
2015 voice.
If you're sick, if you're tired' if you're BORED
I think it's "Skipping over the *currents* in the air" in the fifth line.
Nice to see a "new" song without Tom Morello.
chorando
