me after second cup.

Manfred Mann isn't talking about anything, Bruce Springsteen wrote and originally recorded this one. As far as the meaning, I always thought it was just a mishmash of stuff that sounded good together, kind of a holdover from the beat poets and Dylan. I get the impression that there is some kind of opaque meaning to the lyrics, but that they're personal metaphors that only Bruce would really understand.

Springsteen talked about this song in detail on an episode of VH1 Storytellers.A lot of the references are personal, to include people he knew or had met on the Boardwalks, or had grown up around, or were just direct personal references to himself: Madman drummers bummers - Vinnie "Mad dog" Lopez, the first drummer in the E Street Band. Indians in the summer - Bruce's little league baseball team as a kid. In the dumps with the mumps - being sick with the mumps. Boulder on my shoulder - a "chip" on his shoulder. Some all hot, half-shot, heading for a hot spot, snapping fingers clapping his hands - Being a "know it all kid growing up, who doesn't really know anything." "Silicone Sister" - Bruce mentions that this is arguably the first mention of breast implants in popular music - a dancer at one of the local strip joints in Asbury Park. He wrote this song in his bedroom, primarily using a rhyming dictionary. Or as Bruce put it, "the rhyming dictionary was on fire." (thanks, John - Columbus, OH) Manfred Mann's version replaces the line "Cut loose like a deuce" with "Revved up like a deuce." In their version, "Deuce" was commonly misheard as "Douche." Springsteen's original line makes a lot more sense - a deuce is a 1932 Ford hotrod. On his Storytellers special, Springsteen said (in a jesting manner) that the only reason Manfred Mann's version went #1 was because they said "Douche" instead of "Deuce." (thanks, Anthony - New York, NY)

Bruce Springsteen wrote the song, although I do prefer Manfred Mann's version, but I forget what it's about. When I used to party, I was definitely revved up like a deuce.

The actual lyrics are blinded by the light Revved up like a deuce another runner in the night

never heard that song
