Code of Silence

Seguro que ya sabéis que esta canción es de Joe Grushecky, fue tocada en directo en muchos conciertos de la gira del 2000, y publicada en «The Essential Bruce Springsteen».

Esa versión en directo es la que he usado como referencia para hacer esto.

La canción lo merece. El riff de guitarra es maravilloso, tan sencillo y tan poderoso que no te puedes creer que a nadie se le hubiera ocurrido antes hacer una canción sobre este riff.

El amigo Joe tiene estas cosas.

Code Of Silence

There’s a code of silence that we don’t dare speak
There’s a wall between us, and a river so deep
We keep pretending that there’s nothing wrong
But there’s a code of silence and it can’t go on

Is the truth so elusive, so elusive you see
that it ain’t enough baby
To bridge the distance between you and me
There’s a list of grievance 100 miles long
There’s a code of silence and it can’t go on

Well you walk with your eyes open
But your lips they remain sealed
While the vows we made are broken
Neath the truth we fear reveal
Well I need to know now darlin’
Need to know what’s goin’ on

c’mon c’mon c’mon c’mon
c’mon c’mon c’mon

Now you walk with your eyes open
But your lips they remain sealed
While the vows we made are broken
Neath the truth we fear reveal
I need to know now darlin’
Need to know what’s goin’ on, so

c’mon c’mon c’mon c’mon
c’mon c’mon c’mon c’mon
c’mon c’mon c’mon c’mon
c’mon c’mon c’mon

There’s a code of silence that we don’t dare speak
There’s a wall between us and a river so deep
We keep pretending that there’s nothing wrong
But there’s a code of silence and it can’t go on

it can’t go on it can’t go on

it can’t go on
it can’t go on
it can’t go on
it can’t go on
it can’t go on
it can’t go on
it can’t go on

Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah
