Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Spirits In The Night Lyrics
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
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 Janey 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

Manfred Mann's Earth Band Spirits In The Night Comments
Bravo ⚘ loved this then, love this now 1-10-2020. Glad I'm still here able to hear to this masterpiece.
'You don't know what they can do to you'
Супер !!! С 15 лет обожаю !!! Слушаю всегда и везде !!!
"Try some of this it'll show you where you're at or at least help you to feel it..."
Springsteen masterpiece
When i was young!!!!!!
The 70's seemed more romantic
Это танец жэниха и невесты на свадьбе
Not really sure what to say......Devo. .....Bruce Springsteen's song period
I love this song so much 🎶👍
Great composer, great performansers!
Υπέροχη μπάντα!
HAD ALL OF MANFREDS ALBUMS, SAW THEM AT THE SPORTATORIUM IN HOLLYWOOD FLORIDA ,SUPER GOOD BAND , I AGREE WTIH STEPHAN BELOW, I MISS THE 70'S TOO , AGREAT TIME IN AMERICA.
Up! Tinja&Markku
Such a good Song. For Good memories.
ΑΠΑΙΧΤΟ !!!!!!!
Отлично сделана вещь !!! По моему тот случай , когда кавер сильней оригинала . Группа просто супер !!!
Привет. Кавер на что? Ничего похожего не слышал
"Anybody want to go to Greasy lake?" That's what we'd do back then We'd park the car somewhere, climb a fence or two.... with our party favors and snacks packed, go into the woods after they closed, build a fire." Aah those were the days.
Einfach klasse die Band
The nightingales and bombers album was incredibly underated.The Moog master Manfred Mann himself was at the peak of his skills on that lp.I've never been without that album.To not have it in close proximity would be like losing a limb.
PCP Song
Springsteens Version is better
🎷
Such an over-the -top cool song!
This is the version with Manfred Mann's vocals....There is another with the voice of Chris Hamlet Thompson...
Mick Rogers sings this version. Its from the Nightingales and Bombers album.
Are you Peter Murphy, the great ex-vocalist of Bauhaus?....I don't think that...However, thanks for the answer....
@luis marcelo inostroza bidart Nope - just an Aussie rock fan. I know of Peter but am not familar with his work.
в те годы это было что то ненероятное
он один на всех инструментах
ГОСТ , ты неправ или с кем-то спутал . Manfred Mann's Earth Band полноценная группа . Именно на альбоме , с которого взята эта композиция , играют Манфред на клавишных, Роджерс на гитаре , Пэттенден на басу и Слэйд на ударных .
Written by Bruce Springsteen also blinded by the light
Just found this out can’t belirve it I never liked Bruce’s music much but he wrote these songs n Manfred Mann made them totally epic gives me chills how musicians can work together with their talents!!!!!!
@Tina Jeppesen I felt the same way when I found out I also couldn't believe Bruce wrote these songs if you listen to sprinsteen's versions they are nothing like mafred mann , Manfred definitely made them classics
К сожалению после Watch и коммунистическими взглядами Манфреда,их слушать не интересно.
Springteen the original is still better. Clarence on the Saxophone
NO VOICE TUNE, NO COMPUTER, skills is only developed by hours and hours...
Thanks from Germany 🇩🇪🎹🎤🎵
По моему мнению, эта композиция - одна из пяти лучших за всё время существования М.М.Е.В.
Ещё одна - на обратной стороне этого диска (первая). А ещё три - на альбоме 1979-го года.
true masterpiece!
Good job thanks
это улёт!
Вот ЭТО Вещь!!! Круто уже много много лет!!!
fez parte dos 60 Artur
artur filipe
The best of manfred manns earth band like this music forever......
Бессмертная композиция. Людям которые сочиняют такую музыку, при жизни надо ставить памятники.
fantastic..don't forget angel station
Как их судьба сложилас?
До сих пор поют
Спасибо за выставленные композиции!!!
Великолепная музыка! Талантливые люди! Я их обожал!!! Нравится! Очень!
Прекрасно
Это КРУТО, ребята!!!!!
Another song they stole from The Boss Bruce Springsteen.
They did him proud in my opinion!
Courtesy of Bruce Springsteen
Mighty Mick Rogers and Chris Slade!
I'm 57 living in Florida over 30 years and I am an only one have this song from Viet Nam in 1980, a cassette tape of album:The best of Solid Rock 1979. Great song liked Stairway to heaven great band ,loved it.girls and weed and guitars.that is how the music got on me.foreverrrrr.
I'm glad that they don't make music like this anymore! It keeps drawing us back to when music was great!
Stand up and let them shoot through you . .we were the best generation...😃🙆♀️
Love it 😃
These were the good ole days especially when I’d stop 🛑 at a red light 🚦and do a Blast of a Big Fucking Speed Ball 💉 🥴 😋
Love the Boss, but for my money Manfred Mann owns this song.
really? interesting. it sounds so square and clunky. They didnt even know where rt 88 was. You can even hear it
No Bruce no song
Кочевники
Anjritt..mantab nih lagu..jadi keingetan waktu Deep Purple konser di Senayan Jakarta..lagu ini terdengar saat masih sblm DP konser.
This is such a weird goofy song
I grew up with this
salute Bruce for good lyrics, and hats off for manfred for doing it perfectly
Его Величество Музыка Музыка Музыка .......................
Is Chris Thompson the vocalist on this?
Mick Rogers, original guitarist and singer of MMEB
04:13 Do you hear that laser guitar haha so nice
Wee-nug
70^what I know today
Only if I've known then
But I'd be kinder age
Still rockin ****
Я в экстазе
im so happy I grew up in the seventies good friends great times
во время службы в военном оркестре слушал эту великолепную тему , один из дембелей играл её точную копию на гитарёшке.
Fantastic southafrican Guy .live is Manfred Earthband on of the Rest Best
nice cover
21/06/2019......
Слов нет .Сорок лет слушаю и ...как в первый раз.
ich tanze noch immer
Sound is like Bobby Brown goes down
I used to love the Springsteen original for many years. Then I heard this. Not only does it completely blow the original out of the water, but it's among the greatest cover versions ever. And this was before their also amazing cover of "Blinded By The Light."
Pure Genius
one of the best covers of all time
Συμφωνώ Σάββας
Manfred Man must have been a huge Springsteen fan
Wrong way round
This version is much better than Bruce Springsteen's remake of this song!
No it’s not
@Kay P LOL
Bruce wrote the song.
(ACI) BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
Spirit song, like in the 70'
Je kif ce morceaux avec une bonne roulé de verdure et un ou deux trois verre de vin🍷🍷🍷 le top 👍
Kena'vo 🍏
i wanna go back to 70s 80s and 90s best times ! ;)
This is an awesome song. How have I never heard it before?
Супер вещь! Они начали свой концерт в Киеве в 2008г с неё! Я был в культурном шоке! А впервые услышал когда мне эту пластинку привёз финн Йорма, который жил в соседней комнате аспирантской общаги ОИИМФа, в 1975г.! Эх, круто когда молодость, Одесса и весна вместе!
entered top 40 June 4, 1977 and gone the next week
Would anyone know if there were any original players left from Manfred Mann's glory years starting from the year 1964 & 'Do Wah Diddy' period ?
Only Manfred himself. Mike Hugg accopanied him into MM Chapeter 3 but wasn't around by the time that evolved into MM Earth band.
Stephen Eder I totally agree. Really miss the old days, GREAT MEMORIES!
Of course the young see spirits in the night! How could they not? A young body has it’s natural pharmacy fully stocked and handing out doses of everything to make you change from a child into an adult. A adolescent’s blood is a Chemical mix with a sky high street value. A young blood stream is a mix of hormones (growth & sexual), physically activated endorphins stimulating your brains' pleasure center, testosterone (for boys) getting them into rutting mode, and super-kick adrenaline just to make things exciting. All changing your body with overwrought instinctual human desires. So, of course, your clues-less brain will wonder if there are spirits in the night shooting through you - telling you to do things you've never done. That's the magic n' mystery of being young. Not knowing enough about the world to discount otherworldly events, ghosts, phantoms and spirits in the night.
Schön Zeit leider sind fiel Tod 😌😌🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
Righteous man 🤙🏼🔝🎶♥️🌴
Bruce Springsteen’s version is light years better
I wanted to make love to this song and still do, because I never made love to this song. Or maybe I didn't remember. LOL
Sweet Jane; Sweet, sweet Jane. Songwriters: Lou Reed
KSHE St Louis has always played this
KSHE Classic for sure!
Hearing this makes me wonder what the hell happened with modern music....
Good comment.
There is good modern music and it's readily available, quick searches and you can find plenty. I don't like the ''new music bad, old music good'' argument, with a quick poke-around you can find plenty of great music, just don't listen tom the radio.
I think they ran out of the good riffs and lyrics and are now working the "not so good stuff "
@francksix Can you name a song please thanks.
@ricochetey Just search for it, it's part of the fun. There is plenty of good music on Youtube.
Von Bruce Springsteen ist die Version besser! Ist ja auch das Original! Es gibt nur einen BOSS!!!
Aber ich finde Manfred Manns Earth Band auch super 👍🏿
The guitar lead in this song is understated and sublime. What tone.
Why isn't this as well known as their other Bruce covers? It's great!
I normally dont care for covers but they owned this one!
my fave is" pleasure and pain" - which took me to Divinyls - another tremendous group.
