@JoeMatthewMarshall94@firemandavid46c I always thought it was "soul" as well. That is what it says in the lyrics section of the official website, but I don't have my copy of BITUSA handy to look at that. Maybe it is like the "waves" v. "sways" debate and the answer is both are correct.
@JoeMatthewMarshall94 No, I'm not being literal at all I just think in my experience heartache or longing is a pain that is felt within and not as a headache which is what skull makes me think of...anyway, still one of my favorite songs.
@JoeMatthewMarshall94 Okay. I am retarded. But in my defense 'Skull' sounds retarded and if I'm ever able to ask the Boss himself why he chose 'skull' instead of the vastly better sounding 'soul' I will but ya'll are right and I am wrong. Serve me up some crow and I'll eat it! I pulled out the album and there it was!
@JoeMatthewMarshall94 Wrong! How anyone can make this mistake is beyond me. The lyric in Springsteen's original is clearly 'soul'. And the lyrics are clearly written 'soul' everywhere. You are telling me it is written as 'skull' on the actual album liners??? Believe it when I see it.
Bruce Springsteen's Sometimes its like someone took a knife baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my soul not skull
