Janey is pretended by various men, who represent different male stereotypes. Only one can fully access her, can’t he?
Bruce Springsteen wrote Janey Needs A Shooter in 1972, but the melody was culled from his 1971 song ‘Talking About My Baby’. Prior to its official release in 2020, one studio versio...
[Verse 1]
Well, Janey's got a doctor who tears apart her insides
He investigates her and silently baits her sighs
He probes with his fingers
But knows her heart only through his stethoscope
His hands are cold and his body's so old
Janey turns him down like dope
[Chorus]
Janey needs a shooter now, a shooter like me on her side
Janey needs a shooter now
A shooter man who knows her style
The way that I know her style
[Verse 2]
Well Janey's got a priest, from his marble pulpit he smiles
He provides consolation and he hears her confession at any time
In the pages of his Bible, he holds from what Janey hides
And with her doors open wide, she begs, "Come inside"
But he's been frozen so long on the outside
[Chorus]
Janey needs a shooter now, a shooter like me on her side
Janey needs a shooter now
A shooter man who knows her style
The way that I know her style
[Verse 3]
Well, Janey's got a cop who lives around the block and checks on her every night
And her skin would turn pale as the siren he'd wail outside
When he knew I was inside
Janey's small and sometimes he scared her
So I held her real close, she was more saint than a ghost
And told her I so long had been prepared for her
[Outro]
Janey needs a shooter now, a shooter like me on her side
Janey needs a shooter now
A shooter man who knows her style
Janey needs a shooter now
A shooter like me on her side, Janey needs a shooter now
A shooter man who knows her style
The way that I know her style
A man who knows her style
The way that I know her style
A man who knows her style
The way that I know her style
A man who knows her style
The way that I know her style
A man who knows her style
The way that I know her style
A man who knows her style
The way that I know her style
A man who knows her style
The way that I know her style

We were working on a lot of stuff that I have in the vault to put out again at some time, and I went through almost a whole record of pre-Greetings From Asbury Park music that was all acoustic, and these songs were inside them. The guys came in and I said, ‘Okay. Today we’re going to record songs th...
