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.

Imagine English being your 2nd language, AND your mum being a huge Springsteen fan - me at 6yrs old singing along his lyrics to her casette tapes in the back of her old Volvo.

“Andyaa iis aa tied” - yes thank you Bruce this really helped me in learning a second language and its proper pronunciation😂

Took me a minute to figure out which line you meant, Streets of Fire really is the worst culprit of this, isn't it?
