that tune FEVER is cool too...Downbound Train is a classic DOWNBOUND TRAIN I had a job, I had a girl I had something going mister in this world I got laid off down at the lumber yard Our love went bad, times got hard Now I work down at the carwash Where all it ever does is rain Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train She just said "Joe I gotta go We had it once we ain't got it any more" She packed her bags left me behind She bought a ticket on the Central Line Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining I feel her kiss in the misty rain And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train Last night I heard your voice You were crying, crying, you were so alone You said your love had never died You were waiting for me at home Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods I ran till I thought my chest would explode There in the clearing, beyond the highway In the moonlight, our wedding house shone I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed The room was dark, our bed was empty Then I heard that long whistle whine And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

Blinded by the Light I absolutely agree with you that Manfred Mann's version is far better than Bruce's. Bruce just does not do anything for that song. But as far as Springsteen songs that Manfred Mann recorded, "Sprits in the Night" is my favorite" SPIRITS IN THE NIGHTSpringsteen-Intersong Music Ltd. Crazy Janey and her mission man Were back in the alley trading hands Along came Wild Billy with his friend Gee Man All duded up for Saturday night Billy slammed on his coaster brakes, said Anybody wanna go to Greasy Lake It's a mile down on the dark side of Route 88 I got a bottle of rosé let's try it We'll pick up Hazy Davey and Killer Joe and I'll take you all out to where the gypsy angels go They're built like light and they dance like Spirits in the night, all night Oh you don't know what they can do to you Spirits in the night, all night In the night, all night Stand right up and let them shoot through you Wild Billy was a crazy cat And he shook some dust out of his coon skin cap He said try some of this it'll show you where you're at Or at least it'll help you to feel it By the time we made it up to Greasy Lake My head was out the window Janey's fingers were in the cake I think I really dug her, I was too loose to fake I said I'm hurt she said Honey let's heal it And we danced all night to a soul fairy band And she kissed me just right Like only a lonely angel can She felt so nice, just as soft as a Spirit in the night, all night Janey don't know what she do to you Spirits in the night, all night In the night, all night Stand right up and let her shoot through me Spirits in the night, in the night Spirits in the night, all night Spirits in the night, in the night Spirits in the night, all night How the night was bright and the stars threw light On Billy and Davey dancing in the Moonlight Down near the water in a stoned mud fight Killer Joe passed out on the lawn Hazy Davey got really hurt He ran into the lake in just his socks and a shirt Me and Crazy Davey making love in the dirt Singing our birthday songs Janey said it was time to go, so we closed our eyes And said goodbye to gypsy angel row Felt so right together we moved like Spirits in the night, all night Oh you don't know what they can do to you Spirits in the night, all night All night, all night Stand right up and let them shoot through you Spirits in the night, all night Oh you don't know what they can do to you Spirits in the night, all night Spirits in the night Spirits in the night What song was it on the Manfred Mann album that used the Nightingales and Bombers, tack in the song?? or was it just on the Album separately?? I know that was the title of the ablum. I thought that track was on there in the back round of a song.....but not sure.....<my memories from back then are a bit smokey!!!> Anyway I think that track is awesome. I found my own answer..... Includes a famous recording from World War 2 of nightingales singing as bombers pass overhead. The title of this album was inspired by a recording made in Surrey, England during the Second World War, by an ornithologist intending to record Nightingales. The bombers flew over at the same time and were recorded by accident. The recording has been incorporated in 'As above, So below'. manfredmann.co.uk
