Over deze songtekst:
Dit nummer werd enkel in Duitsland als single uitgebracht. Sandy is niemand specifiek, maar op een samenvloeiing van verschillende meisjes die Springsteen kende in New Jersey. Het nummer bestond uit 2 nummers die Springsteen schreef voor zijn 1e album, maar die er uiteindelijk niet op zijn geraakt. Het werd fluisterend gezongen door Springsteen, alsof hij het zong in het oor van zijn vriendin. Het nummer zou één van de populairste nummers van zijn beginperiode worden. Dit werd later gecoverd door oa The Holies, Air Supply, en Ben E. King.
Sandy, the fireworks are hailin' over little Eden tonight Sparkin' a light in all those lonesome faces staring up on this warm July Down in town the streets are full of switchblade lovers, so fast, so shiny, so sharp And them wizards play down on pinball way on the boardwalk way past dark And those boys from the Casino dance with their shirts open like bandits on the shore Ah, catching all them silly New York girls by the score. So Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us This pier lights our carnival life forever Oh love me tonight and I promise I'll love you forever. Well the greasers, they tramp the streets or get busted for sleeping on the beach all night It's like a sidewalk burlesque, those boys in their high heels, oh Sandy, their skins are so white Oh and me I got tired, oh so damn tired of working in that dusty old arcade and fixin' their machines Chasin' them factory girls underneath the boardwalk where they all promise to unsnap their jeans And you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag I got on it last night and my shirt got caught Oh that Joey kept me spinnin' Oh, he would not let me off. So, Sandy, this aurora is risin' behind us Oh this pier lights our carnival life 'cross the water Oh runnin' laughing 'neath the boardwalk with Rollie Joe's daughter Hmmm mmmm.. Well now Sandy, them north side angels, they lost their desire for us I spoke with 'em last night, they said they won't set themselves on fire for us anymore Oh, but the weather gets hot, and every season you can still see 'em come and go Oh, dressed like stars in that cheap little bars and parked with their baby down on the Kokomo Did you hear the cops they busted Madame Marie for tellin' fortunes better than they do It don't matter much any more, girl, summer's gonna be through. And Sandy, the aurora is risin' behind us This pier lights our carnival life forever Oh love me tonight and I promise I'll love you forever Sandy Girl La La la Sandy girl Oh la la ya ya.
