Atlantic City 是1982年《内布拉斯加》(Nebraka)专辑中的曲目,一张回归民谣风格的专辑。专辑的配器极其“简单”,吉他和口琴几乎就完全构成了歌曲的铺垫。用心去听,可以感受到这是一张很有乡土感和现实感的专辑,很朴实,也很恳切,非常耐听。因此,尽管商业上并不成功,仍然有许多人认为这是Bruce生涯中最优秀的专辑之一,甚至在美国流行音乐史上也是值得记录的杰作。 专辑在滚石杂志评出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第224位。 Atlantic City - Bruce Springsteen
歌词: Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night now they blew up his house too Down on the boardwalk they're gettin' ready for a fight gonna see what them racket boys can do Now there's trouble busin' in from outta state and the D.A. can't get no relief Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade and the gamblin' commissions hangin' on by the skin of its teeth Everything dies baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty and meet me tonight in Atlantic City Well I got a job and tried to put my money away But I got debts that no honest man can pay So I drew what I had from the Central Trust And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus Everything dies baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty and meet me tonight in Atlantic City Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold but with you forever I'll stay We're goin' out where the sands turnin' to gold so put on your stockin's cause the nights gettin' cold and maybe everything dies That's a fact but maybe everything that dies someday comes back Now I been lookin' for a job but it's hard to find Down here it's just winners and losers and don't get caught on the wrong side of that line Well I'm tired of comin' out on the losin' end So honey last night I met this guy and I'm gonna do a little favor for him Well I guess everything dies baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back Put your makeup on fix your hair up pretty and meet me tonight in Atlantic City
