This day in music history.

October 17, 1987, Bruce Springsteen's 'Tunnel Of Love' album hit No.1 on the UK album chart. 'Tunnel Of Love' was Springsteen's follow up to the wildly successful 'Born In The USA'. Tunnel is a reflection on the many faces of love and relationships. Bruce wrote most of the songs while going through the breakup of his first marriage. The album would sell 3 million copies (in the US) as opposed to the 15 million Born In The USA sold.
One Step Up by Bruce Springsteen
Woke up this morning my house was cold
Checked the furnace she wasn't burnin'
Went out and hopped in my old Ford
Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'
We've given each other some hard lessons lately
But we ain't learnin'
We're the same sad story that's a fact
One step up and two steps back
Bird on a wire outside my motel room
But he ain't singin'
Girl in white inside a church in June
But the church bells they ain't ringing
I'm sittin' here in this bar tonight
But all I'm thinkin' is
I'm the same old story same old act
One step up and two steps back
It's the same thing night on night
Who's wrong baby who's right
Another fight and I slam the door
Another battle in our dirty little war
When I look at myself I don't see
The man I wanted to be
Somewhere along the line I slipped off track
I'm caught movin' one step up and two steps back
There's a girl across the bar I get the message she's sendin
'Mmm
she ain't lookin' to marry
And me well honey I'm pretending
Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
The music was never-ending
We danced as the evening sky faded to black
One step up and two steps back
