Spare Parts - Bruce Springsteen

Canción con un sonido netamente americano que interpreta el tipo de la voz ronca y rasgada. Perteneciente al álbum Tunnel of Love, el primero tras el éxito de Born in the USA y que incluye temas populares como Brilliant Disguise, Tougher than the Rest o la misma Tunnel of Love que da título al disco. 

Como anécdota me gustaría comentar que Springsteen decidió prescindir de la E-Street Band como acompañantes oficiales (aunque participaran ocasionalmente en algunas canciones) y buena parte de la percusión está creada con una caja de ritmos.

Este vinilo lo compré con mi hermano cuando teníamos unos 13 o 14 años. Recuerdo que tuvimos la genial idea de grabarlo en cinta para después decirle al tipo de la tienda que lo teníamos repetido y nos lo cambiara por otro. 2 x 1. El dependiente nos dijo que trajéramos el repetido y nos lo cambiaba. Y eso no ocurrió, claro.

Bobby said he'd pull out Bobby stayed in

Janey had a baby it wasn't any sin

They were set to marry on a summer day

Bobby got scared and he ran away

Jane moved in with her ma out on Shawnee Lake

She sighed Ma sometimes my whole life feels like one big mistake

She settled in in a back room time passed on

Later that winter a son came along

Spare parts

And broken hearts

Keep the world turnin' around

Now Janey walked that baby across the floor night after night

But she was a young girl and she missed the party lights

Meanwhile in South Texas in a dirty oil patch

Bobby heard 'bout his son bein' born and swore he wasn't ever goin' back

Spare parts

And broken hearts

Keep the world turnin' around

Janey heard about a woman over in Calverton

Put her baby in the river let the river roll on

She looked at her boy in the crib where he lay

Got down on her knees cried till she prayed

Mist was on the water low run the tide

Janey held her son down at the riverside

Waist deep in water how bright the sun shone

She lifted him in her arms and carried him home

As he lay sleeping in her bed Janey took a look around at everything

Went to a drawer in her bureau and got out her old engagement ring

Took out her wedding dress tied that ring up in its sash

Went straight down to the pawn shop man and walked out with some good cold cash

Spare parts

And broken hearts

Keep the world turnin' around
