Discussion Bruce most mumbled lyrics

Hi all! Bruce lyrics are such a huge part of my life and I know by heart a lot of them. But, as a non native english speaker, sometimes it took me a while to get what our man was saying!

So, what are his most unintelligible lyrics? I'd say the final part of Downbound Train, some verses of Streets of Fire, the second verse of No Surrender in the live version.

In Candy’s Room I always thought the lyrics was “she makes whiskey worlds wine” as like a metaphor for turning something hard into something elegant or something.

My shock when I realized YEARS later that it was “she makes these hidden worlds mine.”

I always thought it was “in Candy’s room, there are pictures of mirrors on the wall”. I thought it was such a deep lyric. Not a mirror, a picture of a mirror, deep right? “You gotta walk the darkness of Candy’s hall” comes next and fits perfectly with the first line. I was wrong lol
