This is the story of U2 This is the story of a genuinely enthralling rock and roll adventure - U2
"Here's to the future! The only limits are the limits of our imagination. Dream up the kind of world you want to live in, dream out loud, at high volume....." Half Catholic, half Protestant, they embody the conflict and anguish of a divided Ireland. Troughout the world their unique music is the voice of hope for the disillusioned, the oppressed and the hungry. On 6 May 1960 the world witnessed the "U2 Incident". An American aircraft carrying electronic surveillance equipment was shot down whilst on a spying mission over the Soviet Union. On 10 May, four days after the so called "U2 Incident", Bobby and Iris Hewson saw the arrival of their second son, Paul Hewson, in the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin. Adam Clayton, the son of Brian and Jo Clayton, was born on 13 March 1960 in Chinnor in Oxfordshire. At the age of five the Claytons moved to Dublin. In Dublin on 31 October 1961 Maureen Mullen gave birth to her second child, a boy, named after his father Larry Mullen. Dave Evans was born in Barking Maternity Hospital, East London, on 8 August 1961. Garwin Evans and his wife Gwenda, both from Llanelli in Wales, moved to Dublin a year later. The four lads all went to the same school Mount Temple, and this is where it all started..... In the Autumn 1976 Larry pinned a note on the school notice board announcing that he was putting together a band, wodering if someone would join him. The immediate response to the note was not quite as he had expected. Dave Evans made a polite inquiry as to what it was all about, but there was no rush. Larry decided to push things along a bit by approaching Adam Clayton, the schools "hippy". Larry approached him somewhat reluctantly. "I believe you play bass guitar. I`ve got some drums and I`m forming a group. Would you be interested? Adam thought it sounded great, and they decided to get together. Larry Mullen also approached Dave Evans, who said he was interested and that he would bring his brother Dick. When the day arrived Paul Hewson, Mount Temples` "brat", Dave and Dick Evans, Adam Clayton and another pupil from Maount Temple, Neil McGormick had showed up in Larry`s back garden.
The first meeting revealed important truths. Larry and Dave could play. Paul and Adam were less accomplished. Dick could play, but his lovely homemade guitar couldn`t quite make it. Neil decided to bail out. Dave won the competition for the position as the bands lead guitarist. Larry was the drummer, and no one wanted to be the singer. Paul and Adam had other assets to bestow on the group. Dick could stay aboard provided that he got a guitar that worked. They decided to call themselves FEEDBACK as a description of the sound of Dave`s guitar and Larry`s drums. Feedback hang out with a bunch of other teenagers and they all called themselves The Village. They all made up names for each other. Fionàn Hanvey became "Gavin Friday", Derek Rowen became "Guggi", Trevor Rowen became "Strongman", David Watson became "Day-Vid", Paul Hewson became "Bonovox" or "Bono" for short. Dave Evans became "The Edge" a reference to his guitar playing style..... FEEDBACK had their first gig at Mount Temple on a talent contest. They had prepared a set consisting of Peter Frampton`s "Show me the way". Although they didn`t get the prize, they were far out the most popular act that night. And most important, the lads had proved to themselves and others that they could really play. The first band meeting after their debut they changed their name to HYPE. Their secong gig took place at St. Fintan School Hall in Sutton. They had added some Boomtown Rats and Rolling Stones numbers to thier successful Mount Temple set. But they were unhappy with the songs, especially Bono. He wanted to make his own songs Inspired by the HYPE`s emerging popularity The Village decided to form an altrenative group. Dick Evans who`d dropped out of Hype joined Gavin, Guggi, Reggie, Pod, Day-Vid to form THE VIRGIN PRUNES. Adam had promised the rest of HYPE that he would provide gigs for them but somewhat failed to do so. Although he had the nerve to phone Gerry Cott of the Boomtown Rats and Phil Lynnot of Thin Lizzy asking for advices and such. He really had the nerve.... Adam also talked to Steve Rapid the vocalist with the Radiators. Adam asked him all the ususal questions but seemed particularly concerned about his bans name. Steve agreed, HYPE sounded too blatant, wasn`t subtle. Adam thought they needed a name that would be slightly mysterious, that wouldn`t pin them down to anything or place in particular. Steve thought about it for a few days before coming up with U2. Adam really liked it. There had been an American spy plane called U2, there was a U2 submarine and one of Ever Ready`s biggest selling batteries were also called U2. Nobody knew what it meant, but the name stuck in your brain. There was a pun in there as well; YOU TOO or even YOU TWO. The others were less than bowled over. Adam didn`t give up and won a compromise. Their next set they played the first half with Dick on additional keyboard as the Hype, and the second set minus Dick as U2. The first thing Adam did when they arrived at Limerick for the Evening Press-Harper Lager Talent Contest, was to change their name from The Hype as they`d enterede as, to U2. They won the contest, and brought home £500 and the promise of a day in CBS studios to cut a demo disc. After speaking to Bill Graham of Hot Press they set out to find a manager.....Paul McGuinness.
Thursday 25 May 1978, U2 were supporting the Gamblers at the Project. Paul McGuinness came to see them and they had landed their first victory...they had a manager. In September U2 supported The Stranglers in Top Hat Ballrom, Dun Laoghaire. The month after U2 supported D.C. Nien at the Arcadia, Cork. Paul got Barry Devlin of Horselips to produce U2`s demo, and they went into Keystone Studios in Harcourt Street the 1 November to make their demo. The demo consisted of three songs: "STREET MISSION", "THE FOOL" and "SHADOWS AND TALL TREES". Two weeks later the entusiasm of the demo got a tragic end when Larry`s mum, Maureen Mullen, was killed in a road accident in Raheny. Paul McGuinness took the demotape with him to London, but no one was very interested. U2 gigs were rare and special, they played the Dark Space Festival at the Project early in February 1979 and got good reviews in Hot Press by Dave Fanning. The record deal still kept waiting. In March Paul were forced to return to CBS Ireland to accept a deal that Adam and Bono earlier had refused. The idea was to produce a three song single, U2 THREE, containing "STORIES FOR BOYS", "OUT OF CONTROL" and "BOY-GIRL". The single were released in 1000 copies and they were quickly sold out. They even got an Irish chart success. U2 played their last concert before going to London at the Dandelion Green. The set included "OUT OF CONTROL", "SHADOWS AND TALL TREES", "THE FOOL", "CONCENTRATION CAMP" and "IN YOUR HAND". EMI people attended the gig but left halfway out in the set. In London they were booked at prestigious venues like the Hope and Anchor, the Bridge House in Camden Town and the Moonlight Club. They even opened for Talking Heads on a couple of gigs. The trip did not give them what they were hoping for, a record deal. However, on their way back to Dublin, they were listening to the radio were Fanning were interviewing Jake Burns the leader of Stiff Little Fingers. Burns were saying that there was nothing happening on the music scene. Nothing? Fanning asked. Well, Burns reflected, there is one band that I think could be the greatest band of all time....U2. That certainly was quite a boost for the lads. The following month, January 1980, U2 won five categories in the Hot Press readers poll. Good news, but still no record deal. U2 booked an Irish tour that would end on the National Boxing Stadium housing over 2000 people. A new single "ANOTHER DAY" would be released to follow the tour. By the time the tour reached Belfast, Paul had managed to get representatives from Blue Mountain Music, an Island Records label, to come and see U2. A week later, Island`s Bill Stewart was due to see them on the Stadium in Dublin. The gig in Belfast didn`t go too well, and yet worse; the tickest for the Stadium were going slowly. Less than 500 tickets....When the night came about 1000 people attended, lots of them friends and families of U2 and the Village. After the show Bill Stewart offered them a deal on the spot, backstage, in the dressing room. They had made it. The deal Bill Stewart offered them was a long term deal involving four albums using the bands original material which Islands would accept unseen! The deal also involved tour money for Uk, Europe and America. They had three months before beginning to record their debut album in Windmill Lane Studio, Dublin. Meanwhile they set out on a tour of Britain to establish a market and to promote their first Island UK single "11 O`CLOCK, TICK-TOCK". U2 did not live out the concept of drugs, sex and rock `n roll. Bono and Alison, Edge and Aislinn, and
Larry and Ann were all still sweethearts. Drugs was not an item of discussion, yet. Adam was the only one that went out for a drink with Paul after gigs. All in all, nothing much had actually happened with them although they had finally landed a record deal. The four lads kept their feet solidly planted on the ground. Paul started thinking of America and set up a meeting with Frank Barsalona of Premier Talent in August 1980. But while Paul was in America his father died and Paul returned to Ireland without meeting Frank. Steve Lillywhite had come to Dublin to produce U2`s debut album. He had previously worked with Ultravox, Eddie and the Hot Rods and Siouxsie and the Banshees. U2 recorded "A DAY WITHOUT ME" as a single. The album was called BOY. The critical reaction to BOY was amazing. BOY were said to be the best debut album of all time. The front cover shows the younger brother of Guggi, Peter Rowen, naked from the chest up. No signs of U2 or the albums name on the front, a huge marketing gamble. Peter had also appeared on the cover of the U2 THREE a year earlier. BOY was due out in the States in the new year, and Paul and Frank Barsalona had arranged a short ten day introductory tour in December and then a majour three month tour in the spring. U2 had not forgotten the sound system worker Joe O`Herlihy, who had worked with them earlier on tours and he was again brought in for the US tour. The only thing that "bothered" Joe was Edge`s guitar playing. Edge was an electronic wizard not a genious player, and Joe had some really hard time working out Edge`s use of echoes. The U2 sound. Finally they were in the States, opening the tour at the Ritz. A concert that went extremely well despite a boring crowd, that Bono really had to work on to get going. But he sure got them on their toes screaming for more. The rest of the ten days went even better..... In January 1981 U2 topped nine categories in the Hot Press poll. They toured UK most of the first months of 1981 ending with a sell out concert at the Lyceum Ballroom in London in February. Live, U2 were brilliant, the critical relationship between Joe and Edge adding a stunning new sound dimension to Bono`s dramatic stage persona. In March BOY was released in the States, and U2 started preparing for the US tour in April to support BOY.They began their first major US tour on 3 March 1981, opening at the Bayou Club in Washington DC. The American audience loved them. The tour ended in two sell out gigs at The Palladium in New York and the Fast Lane, Asbury Park, New Jersey. In May U2 started to work with Steve Lillywhite on their follow up album, the difficult number two album. It was going to be called OCTOBER. In June U2 released the single "FIRE" and they got their first British chart success. In August while they were waiting for the release of OCTOBER , U2 headlined a major Irish concert at Slane Castle alongside Thin Lizzy. "GLORIA" was released as a single, and OCTOBER hit the British charts at number 11. Now U2 had a trouble. Bono, Edge and Larry went to Paul and infomred him that they had decide not to tour OCTOBER, due to their personal Christian beliefs. They also concidered to quit rock and roll. Luckily, Paul finally convinced them to stay in the business. In November U2 toured the US. On the 20 and 21 December U2 played at the Lyceum Ballroom in London.
In January 1982 U2 toured Ireland, before starting their second leg of the US tour in February, they also supported J.Geils Band on ten dates, a major success. In spring 1982 U2 released "A CELEBRATION" as a single. U2 spent summer touring at festivals around Europe, and also supported The Police at Gateshead in England. They were stars in Ireland, big in England and Rolling Stones had written about them as the next Big Thing................... On the 21 August 1982 Bono and Alison were married at the old Guinness Church of Ireland Church in Raheny. Adam was the best man. After the wedding the lads started working on their next album, WAR. And when they met up with Steve Lillywhite it was the most complete U2 album before recordings started. WAR was released in march 1983. A stunning piece of work, dealing with the religious problems bothering the lads. WAR was not a concept album, more a concept title......... talking `bout the war in Ireland, love and hate and social problems all over the world. "NEW YEARS DAY", "SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY", "SECONDS", "SURRENDER", "THE REFUGEE", "TWO HEARTS BEAT AS ONE", "DROWNING MAN", "LIKE A SONG", "RED LIGHT", "40".........the songs and lyrics really says it all! U2 set out on their WAR tour in spring 1983. They played a 27 date, sold out tout of Britain before arriving in the US to begin a three month crusade in April. They were no longer a baby band admired for good intentions and hard work. The all over view in rock and roll was that Paul McGuinness`s band stood a real chance of becoming the next big thing. U2 proved themselves hungrier than ever before. Four days after U2 had co-headlined at the US festival in San Bernadino alongside The Clash and David Bowie, they arrived at Red Rocks outside Denver, Colorado. The concert was shot as a video, and the music recorded for a live album called LIVE UNDER A BLOOD RED SKY. Steve Lillywhite was brought in to produce the album, and Gavin Taylor to direct the video. U2 returned to Dublin to headline "A day at the Races", at Phoenix Park, also featuring Simple Minds, The Eurythmics and Big Country. 25 000 people sure got what they had come for. The Edge and Aislinn O`Sullivan got married on 12 July. The video was OK. Thesound of the music less than good. U2 had recorded the Red Rocks set under a concert in Boston and a concert in West Germany. When the album was released it only contained two original songs from Red Rocks, "GLORIA" and "PARTY GIRL". UNDER A BLOOD RED SKY hit the UK charts at number 2. U2 persuaded Brian Eno, ex Roxy Music, to produce their next album. Brian Eno arrived Dublin with Daniel Lanois a Canadian sound engineer. They started working on the album in the early months of 1984. In March 1984, Rolling Stone writers chose U2 as Band of the Year for 1983. The award came handy to Paul who was re-negotiating U2`s original deal with Island Records.The stunning new four album deal would give them $2 million an album, double their royalties, each album would be promoted by
three videos at a cost of $75 000 each, Island would be bound to accept the albums unseen. U2 also got their publishing rights back. The title of the new album, THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE, was inspired by an exhibition the band attended in Boston, showing a series of painting and drwaing describing the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki In the autumn of 1984, "PRIDE (IN THE NAME OF LOVE)" was released as a single and reached number 3 in the UK charts. In the US it failed to reach the top ten. When the album was released it went straight to number 1 in the UK charts, but failed to dominate the mainstream charts of the US. The title track "THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE" was released as a single the following spring, reaching number 8 in the UK charts. U2 embarked on a worl tour which began in Australia and New Zealand in the autumn of 1984. The tour was a musical disaster. The orchestral feel of the music didn`t work live. After six weeks down under U2 returned to Dublin to seek out their problems with the new songs. Some dates in Europe had to be cancelled while they solved their tour problems. Following a tour of Britain and Europe and two months after completing a short series of concerts in major US cities, U2 left for a four month trip to the States in February 1985. Their set was now a tour de force, containing the best songs from their four albums. At the same time they released a four track EP, WIDE AWAKE IN AMERICA, containing live versions of "BAD" and "A SORT OF HOMECOMING", and two new songs; "LOVE COMES THUMBLING" and "THREE SUNRISES". The March 1985 edition of Rolling Stones featured U2 on the cover under the headline "Our Choice: Band of the 80`s". Still THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE failed to reach the number 1 spot on the US charts. On the first of April U2 played a sell out concert at the Madison Square Garden. The concert reviews made them front page heroes back in Ireland. U2 returned from the US tour and played another sell ot concert at the Milton Keynes Bowl south in England. A week later they returned to Ireland as national heroes to play at Croke Park in Ireland on the 29 June for 55 000 people. Two weeks after Croke Park U2 went to Wembley to play at the Live Aid, the Bob Geldof and Midge Ure project for starving Africans. U2 delivered one of their best gigs ever, capturing the whole worlds attention Bono danced with a girl in the grave at Wembley to the tunes of "BAD". An era of U2 rock and roll hysteria had just begun. The Edge wrote, performed and co-produced the film score to the motion picture "CAPTIVE". The main song from this film "HEROINE" also includes Larry on drums, and got Sinèad O`Connor her break through as she sings on this song. U2 went back to work on Monday 11 November 1985, starting to work on their next album. The album was originally due to be released one year later, but the process was to end in March 1987. A couple of months after Live Aid, Bono met with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards in a New York recording studio. The two Stones members were jamming away on some Stone songs and asked Bono if he could play one of his songs.... Bono desperately wanted the rest of U2 to be there, he had no song
of his own. That night he wrote "SILVER AND GOLD", wich later appeared on the Sun City: Artists against Apartheid, and on the bw side of the single "WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME". In May U2 headlined the Festival of Hope in Dublin alongside Bob Geldof and his band The Boomtown Rats, Chris de Burgh, Van Morrison and Paul Brady. 30 000 people rose to greet them as they opened their set with Eddie Cochran`s "C`MON EVERYBODY". U2 had comitted themselves and their organisation to the "Conspiracy of Hope Tour", the tour celebrating the 25 anniversary of Amnesty International, from August 1985. Starting in San Francisco on 3 june 1986 the tour supported by U2 and their crew, U2 joined forces with Sting, Peter Gabriel, Joan Baez, Bryan Adams, The Neville Brothers, Jackson Browne and Lou Reed. The tour went on a six city, 15 days sweep through the US earning Amnesty International $4 million and triple the memebership in the US. U2`s Conspiracy set included three of their own songs, "SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY", "BAD" and "PRIDE", and Dylan`s "MAGGIE`S FARM", Beatles` "HELP" and Cochran`s "C`MON EVERYBODY". The Conspiracy of Hope tour ended at Giants Stadium, New Jersey before a crowd of 55 000 people in New York! In March 1987 U2 released THE JOSHUA TREE. Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois had finally made it with U2 in studio. Steve Lillywhite were brought in to mix "WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME", "BULLET THE BLUE SKY" and "WITH OR WITHOUT YOU". The album went straight to the top of the charts in UK, the US and everywhere else. The first single from the record "WITH OR WITHOUT YOU" gave U2 their first number 1 hit in the States. The second single "I STILL HAVEN`T FOUND WHAT I`M LOOKING FOR" also reached the number 1 spot. In April U2 reached the front page of TIME magazine as the third rock band ever, only the Beatles and the Who had done that before. "THE JOSHUA TREE" clearly showed the maternity U2 had reached in their music and their lives. As "THE JOSHUA TREE" went bawling out to the far corners of the world, U2 had finally proved, mostly to themselves, that they could do it! "WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME" and "RED HILL MINING TOWN" was also released as singles. U2 had made more than 30 new songs during their time in studio. In fact U2 actually intended to release "THE JOSHUA TREE" as a double album containing more than 20 songs, some of the songs are found as the b-sides of the singles. During their following tour U2 wrote and recorded some new songs which they later released as a double album RATTLE AND HUM, containing some of the live versions from the "JOSHUA TREE" tour, "I STILL HAVEN`T FOUND WHAT I`M LOOKING FOR", "BULLET THE BLUE SKY", SILVER AND GOLD" and "PRIDE". "RATTLE AND HUM" also contains some cover versions of Dylan and Beatles, "HELTER SKELTER" and "ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER". During the "JOSHUA TREE" tour U2 had a film team following them recording on and off stage. The movie also called "RATTLE AND HUM" was released right about the same time as the album. The new songs "DESIRE", "ALL I WANT IS YOU", "ANGEL OF HARLEM" and "WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN" featuring BB King and his blues band, were released as singles. U2 toured the world again; first the "RATTLE AND HUM" tour, then the "WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN" tour. On the 1 january 1990 U2 entered Point Theatre, Dublin, at midnight, celebrating the new decade with their fans. The concert was broadcasted on radio worldwide. U2 took some time of as they had been on the road for quite some time!
The Edge and Aisling split up....... In the autumn of 1990 U2 were back in studio working on new songs. The demo tape of the new album was stolen just when they felt that they had the songs they wanted. Instead of recording the same songs over again, they decided to write new songs. The forthcoming album was delayed.... The stolen tapes ended up as a tripple bootleg cd set called SALOME - THE AXTUNG BEIBI OUTTAKES In winter 1991 the world got a taste of the new U2 sound as the single "THE FLY" was released. The album ACHTUNG BABY followed. U2 released "ONE", "EVEN BETTER THAN THE REAL THING", "WHO`S GONNA RIDE YOUR WILD HORSES" and "MYSTERIOUS WAYS" as singles. The rest ought to be history. U2 had done it again. The ZOO TV tour saw its very start. For more than two years U2 toured the world with their massive show. During this tour they wrote and recorded a new album, ZOOROPA. "LEMON", "NUMB" and "STAY (FARAWAY SO CLOSE)" was released as singles. In April 1994 Larry and Adam recorded four tracks with Nancy Griffith for her FLYER album. Bono co-wrote and perfomed the title track to the film "IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER" and two other songs with Gavin Friday, his old compadre from the Village. June 1. 1995, "HOLD ME, THRILL ME, KISS ME, KILL ME" from the "Batman Forever" film score is released. In autumn 1995 U2 recorded and released an album under the alias PASSENGERS. The album is called ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACKS 1. Other musicians appearing on this album as fellow Passengeres are Brian Eno, Holi, Howie B, Luciano Pavarotti, Craig Armstrong, Paul Barrett, Des Broadberry, David Herbert and Holger Zschenderlein. MISS SARAJEVO was released as a single. Inspired by the success with the Batman song Bono and The Edge wrote the song "GOLDENEYE" for the james Bond soundtrack. Tina Turner performs the song! In spring 1996 Adam and Larry recorded an instrumental title track for the Tom Cruise film "MISSION IMPOSSIBLE". 9 January 1997, the single "DISCOTHEQUE" was played on Dave Fanning's show on 2FM a national radiostation in Ireland. MTV showed the video following the single during the same day! The single was released in four different versions, containing different mixes and b-sides! The "other" song on the single was called "HOLY JOE". The album POP was released on 3 March 1997. The following songs are included on the "POP" album; "DISCOTHEQUE", "DO YOU FEEL LOVED", "MOFO", "IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS", "STARING AT THE SUN", "LAST NIGHT ON EARTH", "GONE", "MIAMI", "THE PLAYBOY MANSION", "IF YOU WEAR THAT VELVET DRESS", "PLEASE" and "WAKE UP DEAD MAN."
U2 are currently finishing off the last preparations for the PopMart Tour 97. The tour will kick off in Las Vegas on the 21 April. According to The Edge the band will most likely play 8 songs from the POP album at their concerts, along with all the "oldies". The latest release from POP is the single STARING AT THE SUN, with the following video. It was released on April the 14th in three different versions.

TWILIGHT
I look into his eyes they`re closed But I see something A teacher told me why I laugh When old men cry My body grows and grows It fightens me you know The old man tried to walk me home I thought he should have known Twilight Twilight lost my way Twilight night and day Twilight can`t find my way (In the shadow boy meets man In the shadow boy meets man) I`m running in the rain I`m caught in a late night play It`s all and everything I`m soaking through the skin Twilight darkened day Twilight lost my way
Twilight can`t find my way In the shadow boy meets man In the shadow boy meets man
AN CAT DUBH
Say goodnight she waits for me to put out the light Lay there still
She waits to break my will Yes if I know the truth How `bout you? (She got it) And in the daylight A blackbird makes a fire inside And when she is done She sleeps beside the night Yes I know the truth How `bout you? (She got it)
INTO THE HEART

OUT OF CONTROL
Monday morning it`s so boring I say how long you say how long It was one dull morning Woke the world with falling
I was so sad so sad It was so sad I had a feeling it was out of control I had a feeling it was out of control Boys and girls go to school and learn
I had a feeling it was out of control I had a feeling it was out of control Out of control Out of control I have full faith that it was burning And it go say death It`s a charmer I say a charmer And one day I`ll die And the choice will not be mine Will it be too late? You can`t fight it I had a feeling it was out of control I had a feeling it was out of control

A DAY WITHOUT ME
I`m starting a landslide in my ego Look from the outside to the world I left behind
I`m dreaming you`re awake If I were sleeping Once I`d say A day without me What are the feelings I`ve been feeling? What are the feelings to let me out? Today`s a day without me I started a landslide in my ego Look from the outside to the world I left behind To the world I left behind Wipe the eyes from the laughter To the world I left behind Share the tears and the laughter
ANOTHER TIME ANOTHER PLACE
Bright morning lights Wipe the sleep from another day`s eyes Turn away from the wall and there`s nothing at all Make another one afraid It`s the open space of my bed I`ll be with you now I`ll be with you now Real life on a cloud Real life Just as I am I have walked with a tear on my arm I have walked with a feeling of never before In my sleep I discover the one But she rounds with the morning sun I`ll be with you now I`ll be with you now Real life on a cloud Real life Another time another place Real life
Another time another place

Boy stupid boy Don`t sit at the table Till you able to Toy broken toy Shout shout you`re inside out If you don`t know the electric co Red running red Play for real Talk and feel Hold in your hand You don`t shout You still feel guilty If you don`t know The electric co One two three four Why must I hide from myself? When I need the crowd Bring on the crowd I love the crowd If you don`t know the electric co
SHADOWS AND TALL TREES
Back to the cold restless streets at night I talk to myself about tomorrow night Walls of white protest a gravestone in name Who is it now? it`s always the same
Who is it now? who calls me inside Are the leaves on the trees just a living disguise? I walk the sweet rain tragicomedy I`ll walk home again to the street melody But I know oh no But I know oh no I know Shadows and tall trees Shadows and tall trees Life through a window a discoloured pain Mrs Brown`s washing is always the same I walk the sweet rain tragicomedy I`ll walk home again to the street melody But I know oh no But I know oh no I know Out there Do you feel in me anything redeeming Any worthwhile feeling Is life like a tightrope? hanging on my ceiling But I know oh no But I know oh no I know Shadows and Tall Trees
OCTOBER The Lyrics GLORIA

I try to sing this song I try to get in But I can`t find the door The door is open You`re standing there Let me in Gloria Gloria Oh Lord if I have anything anything at all I`ll give it to you Gloria Gloria

I was talking I was talking to myself somebody else Talk talk talking I couldn`t hear a word A word you said He was my brother I said there was no other Way out of here Be my brother I got to get out I was walking I was walking into walls I`m back again just keep walking I walk into a window to see myself and my reflection When I thought about it My direction Going nowhere going nowhere
No one no one is blinder Who will who will not see? No one no one is blinder than me I was talking I was talking in my sleep I can stop talking I`m talking to you It`s up to you Be my brother There is another way out of here In my brother Gonna get out gonna get out of here
REJOICE
He`s falling he`s falling And outside the buildings are tumbling down And inside all over the ground Do it again But what am I to do? What in the world am I to say? There`s nothing for us to do He says you`ll change the world someday I rejoice He`s building I`ll follow Bear with him I`m listing to what he`s saying Everyone`s crazy but I`m too lazy Why? what must I do?
What am I supposed to say? I`ll never change the world But I can change the world in you Rejoice rejoice What am I to do? Tell me what I am supposed to say
I can`t change the world But I can change the world in me Rejoice I don`t know I don`t know what to change Rejoice Rejoice
FIRE
Falling falling The sun is burning black Falling falling It`s beating on my back With the fire Falling falling And the moon is running red It`s pulling me instead with the fire Fire but there`s a fire inside I`m falling over There`s a fire in me And I call out And I feel some fire I`m calling out The stars are falling down They knock me to the ground With the fire fire And there`s a fire inside When I`m falling over There`s a fire in me When I call out There`s a fire inside When I`m falling over I feel the fire I`m burning fire falling
TOMORROW
Won`t you come back tomorrow? Won`t you come back tomorrow? Won`t you come back tomorrow? Can I sleep tonight? Outside somebody`s outside Somebody`s knockin` at the door There`s a black car parked on the side of the road So go to the door Let him out Go in outside mother Go in outside Won`t you come back tomorrow? Won`t you come back tomorrow? Won`t you come back tomorrow? Who broke the window? Who broke down the door? Who told the cutter? And who was he for? Who heals the bounds? Who heals the stars? Open the door Won`t Won`t Won`t Can I
be back tomorrow? be back tomorrow? you come back tomorrow? sleep tonight?
Cause I want you I want you I really want you I want you to be back tomorrow I want you to be back tomorrow Will you be back tomorrow? Open up the way to the Lamb of God To he who made the blind see
Jesus come back I`m gonna be there tomorrow
OCTOBER
October And the trees are stripped bare Of all they wear What do I care? October And Kingdoms rise And Kingdoms fall But you go on and on
WITH A SHOUT
Where do we go? Where do we go from here? Where to go? To the side of a hill Blood was spilt we were still And staring at each other We were doing nothing Jerusalem Jerusalem Shout Shout With a shout shout it out I want to go To the side To the one who made me sing To the side of the hill We were still we were filled With a love We want to be loved
Jerusalem Jerusalem Shout shout With a shout
STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND
Stranger stranger in a strange land He looked at me as one who should run We asked him to smile for a photograph Waited a while to see if we could make him laugh So did I seek for a cigarette His smiling face I can`t forget It looked like it crossed the street He said I`ll wait here I wish you were here I wish you were here Stranger stranger in a strange land He look at me like I was the one who should run I watched as he watched us get back on the bus I watched there it was The way it was there He was with us And I really don`t mind sleeping on the floor I can`t sleep after what I saw I wrote this letter to tell you The way I feel I wish you were here To see what I could see and hear I wish you were here
SCARLET
Rejoice rejoice

IS THAT ALL?
Singing I`m not Is that Is that
this song makes me angry angry with you all? all?
Sing me a song that makes me happy I`m happy with you Singing this song makes me pale Is that all? Is that all?
WAR The Lyrics SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY
I can`t believe the news today I can`t close my eyes and make it go away How long how long must we sing this song? How long? Tonight we can be as one Broken bottles under children`s feet Bodies strewn across a dead end street But I won`t heed the battle call It puts my back up puts my back up against the wall Sunday Bloody Sunday Sunday Bloody Sunday And the battle`s just begun There`s many lost but tell me who has won? The trenches dug within our hearts And mothers children brothers sisters torn apart Sunday Bloody Sunday Sunday Bloody Sunday How long how long must we sing this song? How long Tonight we can be as one Tonight tonight Sunday Bloody Sunday Sunday Bloody Sunday Wipe the tears from your eyes Wipe your tears away Wipe your blood shot eyes Sunday Bloody Sunday Sunday Bloody Sunday And it`s true we are immune When fact is fiction and TV is reality
And today the millions cry We eat and drink while tomorrow they die The real battle just begun To claim the victory Jesus won On a Sunday Bloody Sunday Sunday Bloody Sunday
SECONDS
It takes a second to say goodbye Say goodbye It takes a second to say goodbye Say goodbye say bye bye where are you going to now? Fall rise and Fall rise and Lightning flashes across the sky From east to west you do or die Like a thief in the night You see the world by candlelight Fall rise and Fall rise and In an apartment on Times Square You can assemble them anywhere Held to ransom hell to pay A revolution everyday USSR DDR London New York Peking It`s the puppets It`s the puppets who pull the strings Say goodbye say goodbye It takes a second to say goodbye Push the button and pull the plug say goodbye Fall rise and Fall rise and They`re doing the atomic bomb Do they know where the dance comes from? Yes they`re doing the atomic bomb They want you to sing along Say goodbye say goodbye
NEW YEARS DAY
All is quiet on New Year`s Day A world in white gets underway And I want to be with you Be with you night and day Nothing changes on New Year`s Day I will be with you again I will be with you again Under a blood-red sky A crowd has gathered in black and white Arms entwined the chosen few Newspapers say it says it`s true And we can break through though torn in two we can be one I will begin again I will begin again Oh and maybe the time is right Oh maybe tonight I will be with you again I will be with you again And so we are told this is the golden age And gold is the reason for the wars we wage Though I want to be with you To be with you night and day Nothing changes on New Year`s day

SURRENDER
The city`s alight With lovers and lies
Bright blue eyes The city is bright Brighter than day tonight Surrender Surrender Sadie said she couldn`t Work out what it was all about And so she let go Now Sadie`s on the street And the people she meets you know She tried to be a good girl And a good wife Raise a good family Lead a good life It`s not good enough She got herself up on the 48th floor Got to find out find out What she`s living for Surrender Surrender The city`s a fire A passionate flame That knows me by name The city`s desire To take me for more and more It`s in the street getting under my feet It`s in the air it`s everywhere I look for you It`s in the things I do and say If I want to live I`ve got to die to myself someday Papa sing my sing my song Papa sing my sing my song
LIKE A SONG
Like a song I have to sing I sing it for you Like the words I have to bring I bring them for you
And in leather lace and chains We stake our claim Revolution once again But I won`t I won`t wear it on my sleeve I can see through this expression And you know I don`t believe I`m too old to be told Exactly who are you? Tonight tomorrow`s to late And we love to wear a badge a uniform And we love to fly a flag But I won`t let others live in hell As we divide against each other And we fight amongst ourselves Too set in out ways to try to rearrange Too right to be wrong in this rebel song Let the bells ring out is there nothing left? Is honesty what you want? A generation without name ripped and torn Nothing to loose nothing to gain Nothing at all And if you can`t help yourself Well take a look around you When others need your time You say it`s time to go it`s your time Angry words won`t stop the fight Two wrings won`t make it right A new heart is what I need Oh God make it bleed Is there nothing left?
TWO HEARTS BEAT AS ONE
I don`t know I don`t know which side I`m on I don`t know my right from left
Or my right from wrong Say I`m a fool Say I`m not for you But if I`m a fool for you That`s something Two hearts beat as one Two hearts beat as one Can`t stop the dance This is not our chance I can`t stop the dance Maybe this is not our chance Two hearts beat as one Two hearts beat as one Beat on black Beat on white Beat on anything Go get it right Beat on you or beat on me Oh I don`t know How to say what has got to be said I don`t know if it`s black or white There`s other`s who see it red I don`t give the answers right I`ll leave that to you Is this love out of fashion? Or is it the time of year? I have these words to sections Too late to one of you Two hearts beat as one Two hearts beat as one I`ll shine my spirit aloud Try to explain What I feel Two hearts I can`t stop the dance Baby this is my last chance I said don`t stop the dance Baby this is not our last chance I said can`t stop the dance
RED LIGHT
You said you`re not going to hell But you can`t ask it If your running from yourself I give you my love I give you my love Still you walk away It`s a bright light child As you jump to the street below But where can you go To leave yourself behind? Lonely on the spotlight Your not really traveling I give you my love Holding the city I give my love to you And I`ll bring you through See your not alone I give you my love I give you my love

THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE The Lyrics A SORT OF HOMECOMING
And you know it`s time to go Through the sleet and driving snow Across the fields of mourning to Lights in the distance And you hunger for the time Time to heal `Desire` time And you earth moves beneath Your own dream landscape Oh oh on borderland we run And still we run we run and don`t look back I`ll be there I`ll be there Tonight a highroad a highroad out of here The city walls are all come down The dust a smoke screen all around to see Faces ploughed like fields that once Gave no resistance And we live by the side of the road On the side of a hill as the valleys explode Dislocated suffocated The land grows weary of its own Oh oh on borderland we run And still we run we run and don`t look back Tonight tonight The wind will crack in wintertime A bomb-blast lightning waltz No spoken words just a scream Tonight we`ll a bridge across the sea and land See the sky burning rain She will die and live again
Tonight And you heart beats so slow Through the rain and fallen snow Across the fields of morning To a light that`s in the distance Oh don`t sorrow no don`t weep For tonight at last I am coming home I am coming home
PRIDE (IN THE NAME OF LOVE)
One man come in the name of love One man come and go One come here to justify One man to overthrow In the name of love One more in the name of love One man crawled on a barb wire fence One man he resist One man washed on an empty beach One man betrayed with a kiss In the name of love One more in the name of love Early morning April 4 A shot rings out in the Memphis sky Free at last they took your life But they could not take your pride In the name of love One more in the name of love
WIRE
Innocence and innocent I am Guilty of the crime that`s now in hand Such a nice day Throw your life away Such a nice day Let it go Hold in his eyes I can`t believe it Cold in his heart Is so cold Such a cold heart So take yourself apart Sold many times Myself tricky Sold many times The longest sleep And I come and out to go you get Here we are again now place your bets Is this the time Time to win or loose Is this the time the time to choose? Cold in his eyes I can`t believe it So deep inside a cold fire Cold in his heart is so cold Anytime your all ears Kiss me Just keep me going Inside some white track your come right back Go to cut out Cut throat let out I`m on your side get on the right side I`m on right track Get off my back I`m not on dope I give you hope Here`s the rope Now single it
THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE
Ice Your only rivers run cold These city lights They shine as silver and gold Dug from the night Your eyes as black as coal Walk on by Walk on through Walk till you run And don`t look back For here I am Carnival the wheels fly and the colors spin Through alcohol Red wine that punctures the skin Face to face in a dry and waterless place Walk on by Walk on through So sad to beseige your love so Head on stay this time Stay tonight in a lie I`m only asking but I think that you know Come on take me away Come on take me away Come on take me home Home again And if the mountain should crumble Or disappear into the sea Not a tear no not I Stay in this time Stay tonight in a light Ever after this love in time And if you save it all save your love Don`t push me too far tonight
PROMENADE
Earth sky sea and rain Here she comes back again Men stroll sneak the hall Words that build or destroy Dirt dry bones and stones Bobbed wire fence cut me down I`d like to be around In a spiral staircase To the higher ground And I like a firewall And explode Roman candlelightning lights up the sky In cracked streets tremble under fort Sidestep sidewalk I see you stare into space Have I gotten closer now Behind the face? Tell me will you dance with me And turn me around tonight Up though the spiral staircase to the higher ground Sea slide show Sea side town Coca-Cola Football Radio radio radio
BAD
If If If If
you twist and turn away you tear yourself in two again I could yes I would I could I would let it go
Surrender dislocate
If I could throw this lifeless Lifeline to the wind Leave this heart of clay See you walk walk away Into the night And through the rain Into the half-light And through the flame If I could throw myself Set your spirit free I`d lead your heart away See you break break away Into the light And to the day To let it go And so to fade away To let it go And so fade away I`m wide awake I`m wide awake I`m not sleeping Oh no no If you should ask then maybe They tell you what I would say True colors fly in blue and black Bruised silken skies and burning flag Colors crash collide in blood shot eyes If I could you know I would If I could I would let it go This desparation Dislocation Separation Condemnation Revelation Temptation Isolation Desolation Let it And so To let And so
go to fade away it go fade away
Oh no I`m wide awake I`m wide awake I`m not sleeping Oh no no
INDIAN SUMMER SKY
In the ocean Cuts wind deep the sky Like there - I don`t know why In the forest there`s a clearing eye Running toward the light Sky Blue sky In the aweful holding Deep decide If I could I would Up for swimming against the tide Up toward the sky It`s a blue sky To loose along the way The spark that set the flame To flicker and to fade On this the longest day So the wind go through to my heart So wind go through my soul You give yourself to this the longest day You give yourself you give it all away Two rivers run as deep as seas They change and so do I The light that strikes the tallest trees The light wait for I Up toward the sky It`s a blue sky To loose along the way The spark that set the flame To flicker and to fade Of this the longest days
So wind go through to my heart So wind blow through my soul You You You You
give give give give
yourself the longest days yourself it all away
ELVIS PRESLEY AND AMERICA
White flash under my own love Tell me of my own White flash come though my own life Telling these things And I weary them And I believe in you White flash see the sky And it turns inside from you She won`t turn my back And I know that it makes me blue And you hope And your sky is feeling blue And your heart so cold when I`m with you And you feel like no one told you to And your time was on your side Don`t talk to me You But But But
know like no one told you how you know the king that howls has howled you feel like sentimental you don`t care without sharing in your heart
But there`s no hope go to sleep So hope in sleep I`m breaking through for you and me And you don`t No one told you to And you found out Where you were going to
You were through with me But I know you should be back for more You know And no one told you so And you know the sky And it`s shade of blue And you walk you walk to let go You pull from the outside tell me Don`t fade away Drop me down but don`t break me In your sleep It`s in your heart and mine The whole sea is dark Loving is on your side and walking through So let me in your heart You beat is like something from you They lost it So stay sad over midnight Oh stay sad under the sky And you know and no one told you how And you cared And no one told; you tried And your heart it lift out from the side And the rain beats down And the shame beats down And this rain keeps on coming down And this time is right Don`t let them push you by You`re going to go join God And if someone ask you why You tell them some old lie Give away some ole lie You know and no one told you why And you feel Like you pretend you can Go you live Don`t you leave Don`t leave out part of me that I can feel Like I can feel me fall I can`t hold on See that flaw Let me feel Let the pieces only flow
MLK
Sleep sleep tonight And may your dreams Be realized If the thunder cloud Passes rain So let it rain rain down him So let it be Sleep Sleep tonight And may your dreams be realized If the thundercloud passes rain So let it rain Let it rain rain on him
THE JOSHUA TREE The Lyrics WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME
I want to I want to I want to That hold I want to And touch Where the
run hide tear down the walls me inside reach out the flame streets have no name
I want to feel sunlight on my face See that dust cloud disappear without a trace I want to take shelter from the poison rain Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name We`re still building Then burning down love burning down love And when I go there I go there with you It`s all I can do The cities a flood And our love turns to rust We`re beaten and blown by the wind trampled in dust I`ll show you a place High on a desert plain Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Still building Then burning down love Burning down love And when I go there I go there with you
It`s all I can do
I STILL HAVEN`T FOUND WHAT I`M LOOKING FOR
I have climbed the highest mountains I have run through the fields Only to be with you Only to be with you I have run I have crawled I have scaled these city walls Only to be with you But I still haven`t found What I`m looking for But I still haven`t found What I`m looking for I have kissed honey lips Felt the healing in her fingertips It burned like fire This burning desire I have spoke with the tongue of angels I have held the hand of a devil It was warm as the night I was cold as a stone But I still haven`t found What I`m looking for But I still haven`t found What I`m looking for I believe in the Kingdom Come Then all the colours will bleed into one But yes I`m still running You broke the bonds You loosed the chains You carried the cross And my shame And my shame You know I believe it But I still haven`t found
What I`m looking for But I still haven`t found What I`m looking for
WITH OR WITHOUT YOU
See the stone set in your eyes See the thorn twist in your side I wait for you Slight of hand and twist of fate On a bed of nails she makes me wait And I waitwithout you With or without you With or without you Through the storm we reach the shore You give it all but I want more And I`m waiting for you With or With or I can`t With or
without you without you live without you
And And And And And
give yourself away give yourself away give give give yourself away
you you you you you
My hands are tied My body bruised she`s got me with nothing left to win And nothing else to lose With or With or I can`t With or
without you without you live without you
BULLET THE BLUE SKY
In the howling wind comes a stinging rain See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain From the firefly a red orange glow See the face of fear running scared in the valley below Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome Plant a demon seed you raise a flower of fire See them burning crosses see the flames higher and higher Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue Suit and tie comes up to me his face red Like a rose on a thorn bush Like all the colours of a royal flush And he`s peeling off those dollar bills (Slapping them down) one hundred two hundred And I can see the fighter planes And I can see the fighter planes Across the mud huts as the children sleep Through the alleys of a quit city street Up the staircase to the first floor We turn the key and slowly unlock the door A man breathes deep into a saxophone through the walls we hear the city groan Outside is America Outside is America
RUNNING TO STAND STILL
And so she woke up From where she was lying still Said we got to do something about where we`re going Step on a steam train Step out of the driving rain Maybe run from the darkness in the night Singing Ha La La La De Day Singing Ha La La La De Day Sweet the sin But bitter the taste in my mouth I see seven towers But I only see one way out You got to cry without weeping Talk without speaking Scream without raising your voice you know I took the poison from the poison stream Then I floated out of here Singing Ha La La La De Day Singing Ha La La La De Day She runs through the streets With her eyes painted red Under black belly of cloud in the rain in through a doorway she bring me White gold and pearls stolen from the sea She is raging She is raging and the storms blows up in her eyes She will suffer the needle chill She is running to stand still
RED HILL MINING TOWN
From father to Son The blood runs thin Our faces frozen still against the wind the seam is split The coal face cracked
The lines are long And there`s no going back Through hands of steel And a heart of stone Our labour day has come and gone And you leave us holding on In Red Hill Town As the lights go down I`m hanging on You`re all that`s left to hold on to I`m holding on You`re all that`s left to hold on to The glass is cut the bottle run dry Our love runs cold In the caverns of the night We`re wounded by fear Injured in doubt I can lose myself You I can`t live without Because you keep me holding on In Red Hill Town as the lights go down I`m hanging on You`re all that`s left to hold on to I`m holding on You`re all that`s left to hold on to And we scorched the earth Set fire to the sky Stoop so low to reach so high A link is lost The chain undone Now we wait all day For the night to come And it comes And it comes Like a hunter child I`m hanging on You`re all that`s left to hold on to I`m hanging on We see love slowly stripped away Our love has seen a better day I`m hanging on You`re all that`s left to hold on to
I`m hanging on You`re all that`s left to hold on to See the lights go down on Red Hill Town See light go down on Red Hill Town
IN GOD`S COUNTRY
Desert sky Dream beneath the desert sky The river run but soon run dry We need new dreams tonight Desert Rose Dreamed I saw a desert rose Dress torn in ribbons And in bows Like a siren she calls to me Sleep comes like a drugIn God`s Country Say eyes crooked crossesIn God`s Country Set me alight We`ll punch a hole right through the night Everyday the dreamers die To see what`s on the other side She is liberty And she comes to rescue me Hope faith her vanity The greatest gift is gold Sleep comes like a drugin God`s Country Sad eyes crooked crossesin God`s Country Naked flame She stands with a naked flame I stand with the sons of Cain Burned by the fire of love Burned by the fire of love

In the distance She saw me coming I was calling out I was calling out Still shaking Still in pain You put me back together again i was cold And you clothed me honey I was down And you lifted me honey Angel or devil I was thirsty And you wet my lips You I`m waiting for you You you set my desire I trip through your wires I was broken bent out of shape I was naked in the clothes you made My lips were dry throat like rust You gave me shelter From the heat and the dust There`s no more water in the well No more water in the well Angel or devil I was thirst and you wet my lips You I`m waiting for you You you set my desire I trip through your wires Thunder thunder on the mountain There`s a rain cloud in the desert sky In the distance you saw me coming I was calling out I was calling out
ONE TREE HILL
We turn away to face the cold enduring chill As the day begs the night for mercy Your sun so bright it leaves no shadows only scares Carved into stone on the face of earth The moon is up and over One Tree Hill We see the sun go down in your eyes You ran like river to the sea Like a river to the sea And in our world a heart of darkness a firezone Where poets speak their heart then bleed for it Jara sang his song a weapon in the hands of love You know his blood still cries from the ground It runs like a river to the sea Like a river to the sea I don`t believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts While bullets rape the night of the merciful I`ll see you again when the stars fall from the sky And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill We run like a river to the sea Like a river to the sea
EXIT
You know he got the curebut then he went astray He used to stay awake To drive the dreams he had away He wanted to believe In the hands of love his head it felt heavy As he cut across the land A dog started crying Like a broken hearted man
At the howling wind The howling wind He went deeper into black Deeper into whitehe could see The stars shine Like nails in the night He felt the healing Healing healing healing Hands of love Like the stars shiny shiny From above He put his hands in the pocket His finger on the steel The pistol weighed heavy His heart he could feel Was beating beating beating beating oh my love Oh my love oh my love Oh my love He saw the hands that build Could also pull down the hands of love
MOTHERS OF THE DISAPPEARED
Midnight our sons and daughters Were cut down and taken from us Hear their heartbeat We hear their heartbeat In the wind We hear their laughter In the rain We see their tears Hear their heartbeat We hear their heartbeat Night hangs like a prisoner Stretched over black and blue
Hear their heartbeat We hear their heartbeat In the trees Our sons stand naked Through the walls Our daughters cry See their tears in the rainfall
RATTLE AND HUM The Lyrics HELTER SKELTER
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide Where I stop and I turn And I go down for a ride Till I get to the bottom And I see you again Do you don`t you want me to love you? I`m coming down fast but I`m miles above you Tell me tell me tell me come on tell me the answer Well you may be a lover but you ain`t no dancer Helter skelter helter skelter Helter skelter
VAN DIEMEN`S LAND
Hold me now hold me now Till this hour has gone around And I`m gone on the rising tide For to face Van Diemen`s land It`s a bitter pill I swallow here To be rent from one so dear We fought for justice but not for gain But the magistrate sent me away Now kings will rule and the poor will toil And tear their hands as they tear the soil But a day will come in the dawning age
When an honest man sees an honest wage Hold me now hold me now Till this hour has gone around And I`m gone on the rising tide For to face Van Diemen`s land Still the gunman rules and widows pay A scarlet coat now a black beret They thought that blood and sacrifice Could out of death bring forth a life
DESIRE
Lover I`m off the streets Gonna go where the bright lights And the big city meet With a red guitar on fire Desire She`s the candle Burning in my room I`m like the needle Needle and spoon Over the counter With a shotgun Pretty soon everybody got one And the fever when I`m beside her Desire Desire Burning Burning She`s the dollars She`s my protection She`s the promise In the year of election Sister I can`t let you go I`m like a preacher Stealing hearts at a travelling show For love or money money? Desire
HAWKMOON 269
Like a desert needs rain Like a town needs a name I need your love Like a drifter needs a room Hawkmoon I need your love Like a rhythm unbroken Like drums in the night Like sweet soul music Like sunlight I need your love Like coming home And you don`t know where you`ve been Like blackas before Like nicotine I need your love When the night has no end And the day yet to begin As the room spins around I need your love Like a Phoenix rising Needs a holy tree Like the sweet revenge Of a bitter enemy I need your love Like the heat needs the sun Like honey on her tongue Like the muzzle of a gun Like oxygen I need your love When the night has no end And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around I need your love Like thunder needs rain Like the preacher needs pain Like tongues of flame Like a blindman`s cane Like a needle in a vein Like someone to blame Like a thought unchained Like a runaway train I need your love Like a fighter`s rage His dreams in a cage Like faith needs a doubt Like a freeway out I need your love Like powder needs a spark Like lies need the dark I need your love
ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER
"There must be someway out of here" Said the joker to the thief "There`s too much confusion I can`t get no relief Businessmen they drink my wine Plowmen dig my earth None of them along the line Know what any of it is worth" "No reason to get excited" The thief he kindly spoke "There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke But you and I whe`ve been through that And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now The hour is getting late" All along the watchtower Princes kept the view While all the women came and went Barefoot servants too Outside in the distance A wildcat did growl Two riders where approaching The wind began to howl

SILVER AND GOLD
In the shit house a shotgun Praying hands hold me down If only the hunter was hunted In this tin can town
No stars in the black sky Looks like the sky fall down No sun in the daylight Looks like it`s chained To the ground Broken back to the ceiling Broken nose to the floor I scream at the silence That crawls under the door Under the floor The warden says "The exit is sold" If you want a way out Silver and Gold Silver and Gold There`s a rope around my neck There`s a trigger in your gun Jesus say something! I am someone! I am someone! I see the coming and the going The captains and the kings Their navy blue uniforms Them bright and shiny things Yes captains and kings In the slave ships hold They came to collect Silver and Gold Silver and Gold The temperature is rising The fever white hot Mister I ain`t got nothing But it`s more that you`ve got These chains no longer bind me Nor the shackles at my feet Outside are the prisoners Inside the free set them free A prize fighter in a corner is told Hit where it hurts For Silver and Gold
Silver and Gold "Yup; Silver and Gold This song was written in a hotel room in New York City round about the time a friend of ours Little Steven was putting together a record of artists against apartheid. It`s a song written about a man in a shantytown outside of Johannesburg; a man who`s sick of looking down the barrel of white South Africa; a man who is at the point where he is ready to take up arms against his oppressor. A man who has lost faith in the peacemakers of the West while they argue and fail to support a man like Bishop Tutu and his request for economic sanctions against South Africa. Am I bugging you? I don`t mean to bug you. Okay Edge play the blues... You can stop the world from turning round You just gotta pay a penny in the pound
PRIDE (IN THE NAME OF LOVE)
One One One One
man man man man
come in the name of love come and go come he to justify to overthrow
In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love One One One One
man man man man
caught on a barbed wire fence he resist washed up on an empty beach betrayed by a kiss
What more in the name of love
In the name of love What more in the name of love Early morning April four A shot rings out in the memphis sky Free at last They took your life They could not take your pride In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love What more in the name of love In the name of love
ANGEL OF HARLEM
It was a cold and wet December day When we touched down at JFK Snow was melting on the ground On BLS I heard the sound of an Angel New York like a Christmas tree I said tonight this city belongs to me Angel Soul Love this love won`t let me go So long Angel of Harlem Birdland on 53 The street sounds like a symphony We got John Coltrane and a love supreme Miles and she has to be an Angel Lady Day has got diamond eyes She sees the truth behind the lies Angel Soul Love this love won`t let me go
So long Angel of Harlem Blue light on the avenue God knows they got to you An empty glass the lady sings Eyes swollen like a bee sting Blinded you lost your way On the side streets and the alleyways Like a star exploding in the night Filling up the city with broad daylight An Angel in Devil`s shoes Salvation in the blues You never looked like an Angel So long Angel of Harlem
LOVE RESCUE ME
Love rescue me Come forth and speak to me Raise me up and don`t let me fall No man is my enemy My own hands imprison me Love rescue me Many strangers have I met On the road to my regret Many lost who seek to find themselves in me They ask me to reveal The very thoughts they would conceal Love rescue me And the sun in the sky makes a shadow of you and I Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea I`m here without a name in the palace of my shame Love rescue me In the cold mirror of a glass I see my reflection pass
I see the dark shades of what I used to be I see the purple of her eyes The scarlet of my lies Love rescue me And the sun in the sky makes a shadow of you and I Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea I`m hanging by my thumbs I`m ready for whatever comes Love rescue me Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow Yet I will fear no evil I have cursed thy rod and staff They no longer comfort me Love rescue me Sha la la sha la la Sha la la sha la la I`ve conquered my past The future is here at last I stand at the entrance To a new world I can see The ruins to the right of me Will soon have lost sight of me Love rescue me
WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN
I was I was I was But I
a sailor I was lost at sea under the waves before love rescued me a fighter I could turn on a thread stand accused of the things I`ve said
When love comes to town I want to jump that train When love comes to town I want to catch that flame Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I could before love came to town
I used to make love under a red sunset I was making promises I was soon to forget She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown But I left her standing before love came to town I ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream The notes where turning blue When I fell into a dream As the music played I saw my life turn around That was the day before love came to town When love comes to town I want to jump that train When love comes to town I want to catch that flame Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I could before love came to town When I woke up I was sleeping in the street I felt the world was dancing And I was dirt beneath their feet When I looked up I saw the devil looking down My Lord He played the guitar the day love came to town I was there when they crucified my Lord I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword I threw the dice when they pierced his side But I`ve seen love conquer the great divide When love comes to town I want to jump that train When love comes to town I want to catch that flame Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I could before love came to town
HEARTLAND
See the sunrise over her skin Don`t change it See the sunrise on her skin
Dawn changes everything And the delta sun burns bright and violent Mississippi and the cotton wool heat Sixty-six the highway speaks Of deserts dry of cool green valleys Gold and silver veins - shining cities In this heartland In this heartland In this heartland Heaven knows this is a heartland She feels like water in my hand Freeway like a river cuts through this land Into the side of love like a burning spear And the poison rain brings a flood of fear Through the ghostranch hills Death Valley waters In the towers of steel belief goes on and on In this heartland In this heartland In this heartland Heaven knows this is a heartland
GOD PART II
Don`t believe the devil I don`t believe the book But the truth is not the same without the lies he made up I don`t believe in excess success is to give I don`t believe in riches but you should see where I live II believe in love Don`t believe in forced entry I don`t believe in rape But every time she passes by wild thoughts escape I don`t believe in deathrow skidrow or the gangs Don`t believe in the Uzi just went off in my hand II believe in love
Don`t believe in cocaine I got a speedball in my hand I could cut and crack you opendid you hear what I said? Don`t believe them when they tell me there ain`t no cure The rich stay healthy the sick stay poor II believe in love I don`t believe in Goldman his type like a curse Instant karma`s gonna get him if I don`t get him first I don`t believe that Rock `N Roll can really change the world As it spins in revolution spirals and turns II believe in love I don`t believe in the 60`s in the golden age of pop You glorify the past when the future dries up I heard a singer on the radio last night Says he`s gonna kick the darkness till it bleeds daylight II believe in love I feel like I`m falling like I`m spinning on a wheel It always stops beside a name a presence I can feel II believe in love
BULLET THE BLUE SKY
In the howling wind comes a stinging rain See it driving nails into the souls on the tree of pain From the firefly a red orange glow See the face of fear running scared in the valley below Bullet Bullet Bullet Bullet
the the the the
blue sky blue sky blue blue
In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome Plant a demon seed you raise a flower of fire See them burning crosses see the flames higher and higher Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue Bullet the blue Suit and tie comes up to me His face red Like a rose on a thorn bush Like all the colours of a royal flush And he`s peeling off those dollar bills Slapping them down One hundred Two hundred And I can see those fighter planes And I can see those fighter planes Across the mud huts as the children sleep Through the alleys of a quiet city street We take the staircase to the first floor We turn the key and slowly unlock the door A man breathes deep into his saxophone Through the walls we hear the city groan Outside is America Outside is America So back in my hotel room With John Coltrane and a love supreme In the next room I hear some woman screaming And her lover is turning off turning off the television And I can`t tell the difference between ABC News Hill Street Blues and a preacher on the All-Time Gospel Hour Stealing money from the sick And the old For the God I believe in isn`t short of cash mister And I feel a long way from the hills of San Salvador Where the sky is ripped open And the rain pours through a gaping wound Pelting the women and children Pelting the women and children Run Run Into the arms Of America
ALL I WANT IS YOU
You You You You
say want a diamond on a ring of gold say want your story to remain untold
All the promises we made from the Cradle to the grave When all I want is you You say You`ll give me a highway with no-one on it Treasure just to look upon it All the riches in the night You say You`ll give me eyes on a moon of blindness A river in a time of dryness A harbour in the tempest All the promises we made from the Cradle to the grave When all I want is you You say You want your love to work out right To last with me through the night You say You want a diamond on a ring of gold Your story to remain untold Your love not to grow old All the promises we made from the Cradle to the grave When all I want is you All I want is you

ACHTUNG BABY The Lyrics ZOO STATION
I`m I`m I`m I`m I`m I`m I`m I`m I`m
ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready
for the laughing gas for what`s next to duck to dive to say I`m glad to be alive for the crush
Cold night the warmth of the breeze I`ve been crawling around On my hands and knees Stopping zoo station End of the line ooh zoo station I`m ready I`m ready for the grip lock I`m ready to take it to the street I`m ready for the showboat Ready for the deal Ready to let go of the steering wheel I`m ready ready for the crush Two stops until zoo station Zoo station It`s alright It`s alright It`s alright It`s alright It`s alright Hey baby hey baby Hey baby hey baby It`s alright It`s alright
Time With Your Your
is a train the future the past standing in the station face pressed up against the glass
Zoo station Make it on time zoo station Zoo station It`s alright Just two stops down the line Just a stop down the line
EVEN BETTER THAN THE REAL THING
Give me one more chance And you`ll be satisfied Give me two more chances And you won`t be denied Well my heart is where It`s always been My head is somewhere in between Give me one more chance Let me be your lover tonight You`re the real thing Yeah the real thing You`re the real thing Even better than the real thing Give me And I`m Give me To ride
one last chance gonna make you sing half a chance on the waves that you bring
Your heart will shout to a swarm of bees Gonna blow right through you like a breeze Give me one last chance To slide from the silver
You`re the real thing Yeah the real thing You`re the real thing Even better than the real thing You`re afraid to fly The crimson sky The sun won`t melt our wings tonight Oh yeah here she comes Take me higher Take me higher Ooh take me higher You take me higher You`re the real thing Yeah the real thing You`re the real thing Even better than the real thing Even better than the real thing Even better than the real thing
ONE
Is it getting better Or do you feel the same Will it make it easier on you now You got someone to blame You say one love one life When it`s one need in the night One love we get to share it Leaves you baby if you don`t care for it Did I disappoint you Or leave a bad taste in your mouth You act like you never had love And you want me to go without Well it`s too late tonight To drag the past out into the light We`re one but we`re not the same
We got to carry each other carry each other Have you come Have you come Have you come To the lepers
here for forgiveness to raise the dead here to play Jesus in your head
Did I ask too much More than a lot You gave me nothing Now it`s all I got We`re one but we`re not the same Well we hurt each other now we do it again You say love is a temper Love a higher love Love is a temper Love the higher love You ask me to enter Well then you make me crawl And I can`t be holding on to what you got When all you got is hurt One love one blood One life you got to do what you should One life with each other Sisters brothers One life but we`re not the same We get to carry each other carry each other One one
UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD
I haven`t seen you in quite a while I`ve been down the hole just passing time The last time we met was a low-lit room We was close together as a bride and groom
We ate the food We drank the wine Everybody having a good time Except you you were talking about the end of the world I took the money I spiked your drink You miss too much these days if you stop to think You led me on with those innocent eyes You know I love the element of surprise In the garden I was playing the tart I kissed your lips and broke your heart You you were acting like it was the end of the world Love love love etc In my dream I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows they learn to swim Surrounded me going down on me Spilling over the brim In waves of regret and in waves of joy I reached out for the one I tried to destroy You you said you`d wait till the end of the world
WHO`S GONNA RIDE YOUR WILD HORSES
You`re dangerous Cause you`re honest You`re dangerous You don`t know what you want Well you left my heart Empty as a vacant lot For any spirit to haunt Hey hey sha la la Hey hey You`re an accident waiting to happen You`re a piece of glass Left there on the beach
Well you tell me things I know you`re not supposed to When you leave me Just out of reach Hey hey sha Hey hey sha Whose gonna Whose gonna Whose gonna Whose gonna
la la la la ride your wild horses drown in your blue sea ride your wild horses fall at the foot of me
Well you stole it Cause I needed the cash And you killed it Cause I wanted revenge Well you lied to me Cause I asked you to Baby can we still be friends Hey hey sha la la Hey hey sha la la Whose Whose Whose Whose
gonna gonna gonna gonna
ride your wild horses drown in your blue sea ride your wild horses fall at the foot of me
Ahh the deeper I spin Ahh the hunter will sin For your ivory skin Took a drive in the dirty rain To a place where the wind calls your name Under the trees and river laughing at you and me Hallelujah heavens white rose The doors you open I just can`t close Don`t you turn around Don`t you turn around again Don`t you turn around Your gypsy heart Don`t turn around Don`t turn around again Don`t turn around And don`t look back
Come on my love Don`t you look back Whose Whose Whose Whose
gonna gonna gonna gonna
ride your wild horses drown in your blue sea taste your sour water kisses take the place of Me
SO CRUEL
You crossed the line Who pushed you over It doesn`t matter to you It matters to me We cut adrift We`re still floating I`m only hanging on To watch you go down My love I disappeared in you You disappeared from me I gave you everything you ever wanted But it wasn`t what you wanted The men who love you You hate the most They pass right through you like a ghost They look for you But your spirit is in the air Baby you`re nowhere You say in love there are no rules Sweetheart You`re so cruel Desparation is a tender trap It gets you every time You put your lips to her lips
To stop the light Her skin is pale like Gods only dove Screams like an angel for your love Then she makes you watch her from above And you need her like a drug Ohh love You say in love there are no rules Ohh love Sweetheart you`re so cruel She wears my love like a see-through dress Her lips sing one thing a movement something else Oh love like a screaming flower Love dying every hour You don`t know if it`s fear or desire Danger of a drug that takes you higher Heaven heaven fingers the mire Her heart is racing you can`t keep up The night is bleeding like a cut Between the horses of love and lust In a tremble under dust Ohh love You say in love there are no rules Ohh love Sweetheart you`re so cruel Ohh love To stay with you I`d be a fool Ohh Sweetheart you`re so cruel
THE FLY
It`s no secret that the stars are falling from the sky It`s no secret that our world is in darkness tonight They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
Y`know I don`t see you when she walks in the room It`s no secrets that a friend is someone who let`s you help It`s no scret that a liar won`t believe anyone else They say a secret is something you tell one other person So I`m telling you child A man will beg A man will crawl On the cheer face of love like a fly on the wall It`s no secret at all
Love we shine like a Burning star We`re fallin` from The sky tonight
It`s no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest It`s no secret ambition bites the nails of succes Every artist is a cannibal every poet is a thief All kill the inspiration and sing about the grief A man will rise A man will fall On the cheer face of love like a fly on the wall It`s no secret at all
Love we shine like a Burning star We`re fallin` from The sky tonight
Oh yeah It`s no secret that the stars are falling from the sky The universe exploding `cosa one man`s lie Look I gotta go yeah I`m running outta change There`s a lot of things If I could I`d rearrange
MYSTERIOUS WAYS
Johnny takes a walk With your sister in the moon To fill the pale light in To fill up the room You`ve been living underground Eating from a can
You`ve been running away From what you don`t understand She`s slippy You`re sliding down She`ll be there When you hit the ground It`s allright It`s allright It`s allright She move in mysterious ways It`s allright It`s allright It`s allright She move in mysterious ways Johnny takes a dive With your sister in the rain Let her talk about the things You can`t explain To touch is to heal To hurt is to steal If you want to kiss the sky Better learn how to kneel on your knees boy! It`s allright It`s allright It`s She move in mysterious ways It`s allright It`s allright It`s She move in mysterious ways It`s allright It`s allright It`s She move in mysterious ways It`s allright It`s allright It`s Lift my days Light up my nights
allright allright allright allright
One day you`ll look back And you`ll see Where You were held how By this love While You could stand There And not move on this moment Follow this feeling It`s allright It`s allright It`s allright She move in mysterious ways It`s allright It`s allright It`s allright We move through miracle days
Spirit moves in mysterious ways She moves with it She moves with it Lift my days and light up my nights Love
TRYIN` TO THROW YOUR ARMS AROUND THE WORLD
Six O`clock in the morning You`re the last thing I ever wanted You`ve been trying to throw your arms around the world You`ve been falling off the sidewalk Your lips move but you can`t talk You`ve been trying to throw your arms around the world Gonna run to you Run to you run to you Woman be still Gonna run to you Run to you run to you Woman I will Sunrise like a nose bleed Your head hurts and you can`t breathe You`ve been trying to throw you arms around the world How far you gonna go Before you lose your way back home? You`ve been trying to throw your arms around the world Gonna tun to you Run to you run to you Woman I will I dreamed that I saw Dally With a supermarket trolley He was trying to throw his arms around a girl I took a note Through the eye of a needle He was trying to throw his arms around the world
Gonna run to you Run to you run to you Woman I will Nothing much to say I guess Just the same as all the rest You`ve been trying to throw your arms around the world And a woman needs a man Like a fish needs a bicycle You`ve been trying to throw your arms around the world I`m gonna run to you Run to you run to you I`m gonna run to you Run to you run to you I`m gonna run to you Run to you run to you Woman be still Woman be still Be still Woman be still Woman I will
ULTRA VIOLET (LIGHT MY WAY)
Sometimes I feel like I don`t know Sometimes I feel like checkin` out Can`t always get it right I want to get it wrong And love it won`t be long Oh sugar don`t you cry Oh child wipe the tears from your eye You know I need you To be strong And the day is as dark as the night is long Feel like trash you make me feel clean I`m in the black can`t see or be seen
Baby baby baby light my way Alright now Baby baby baby light my way You bury your treasure Where it can`t be found But your love is like a secret That`s been passed around There is a silence that comes to our house When no-one can sleep I guess it`s the price of love I know it`s not cheap Baby baby baby light my way Oh come on Baby baby baby light my way Baby baby baby light my way I remember when we could sleep on stones Now we lie together in whispers and in moans When I was all messed up and I had in my head Your mood was a light bulb hanging over my bed Baby baby baby light my way Oh come on Baby baby baby light my way Baby baby baby Baby baby baby Baby baby baby light my way Baby baby baby Baby baby baby Baby baby baby light my way Baby baby baby Baby baby baby Baby baby baby light my way Baby baby baby light my way
ACROBAT
Don`t believe what you hear Don`t believe what you say If you just close your eyes You can feel the enemy When I first met you girl You had fire in your soul What happened your face Of melting snow Now he looks like this And you can swallow Or you can spit You can throw it up Or choke on it And you can dream So dream out loud You know that your time is coming round So don`t let the bastards grind you down No nothing makes sense Nothing seems to fit I know you`d hit out If you only knew who to hit And I`d join the movement If there was one I could believe in Yeah I`d break bread and wine If there was a church I could receive in Cause I need it now To take a cup To fill it up To drink it slow Can`t let you go I must be an acrobat To talk like this and act like that You can dream so dream out loud And don`t let the bastards grind you down And I must be an acrobat To talk like this and act like that And you can dream so dream out loud
And you can find your own way out And you can build and I can wield And you can call can`t wait until And you can stash and you can sieze And dreams begin responsibilities If I could love and I could learn And I know that your time is turning round So don`t let the bastards grind you down
LOVE IS BLINDNESS
Love is blindness I don`t want to see Won`t you wrap the night around me On my heart Love is blindness In a parked car In a crowded street You see your love made complete Thread is ripping The knot is slipping Love is blindness Love is conquest cold steal Fingers to numb to feel Squeeze the handle Blow out the candle Love is blindness Love is blindness I don`t want to see Won`t you wrap the night Around me Oh my love blindness A little death without mourning No call and no warning Baby I need you aside me It almost makes sense
Love is drowning In a deep well All the secrets and no-one to tell Except the money honey Blindness love is blindness I don`t want to see Won`t you wrap the night Around me Oh my love blindness
ZOOROPA The Lyrics ZOOROPA
Zooropa Vorsprung durch Technik Zooropa be all that you can be Be a winner Eat to get slimmer Zooropa a bluer kind of white Zooropa it could be yours tonight We`re mild and green And squeaky clean Zooropa better by design Zooropa fly the friendly skies Through appliance of science We`ve got that ring of confidence And I have And I have And I have No reasons And And And The

Skip the subway Zooropa Let`s go to the overground Get your head out of the mud baby Put flowers in the mud baby Overground No particular place names No particular song I`ve been hiding What am I hiding from? Zooropa Don`t worry baby It`s gonna be alright Zooropa Uncertainty Can be a guiding light Zooropa I hear voices Ridiculous voices Zooropa In the slipstream Zooropa Let`s go Let`s go overground Zooropa Take your head out of the mud baby She`s gonna dream up the world she wants to live in She`s gonna dream out loud

LEMON
Lemon See through in the sunlight
I feel numb
She wore lemon Never in the daylight She`s gonna make you cry She`s gonna make you whisper and moan But when you`re dry She draws water from a stone I feel like I`m slowly slowly slowly slipping under I feel like I`m holding onto nothing She wore lemon To colour in the cold grey night She had heaven And she held on so tight A man makes a picture A moving picture Through light projected He can see himself up close A man captures colour A man likes to stare He turns his money into light To look for her And I feel like I`m drifting drifting drifting from the shore And I feel like I`m swimming out to her Midnight is where the day begins Midnight is where the day begins Midnight is where the day begins Lemon See through in the sunlight A man builds a city With banks and cathedrals A man melts the sand so he can See the world outside You`re gonna meet her there A man makes a car She`s your destination And builds roads to run (them) on You gotta get to her A man dreams of leaving She`s imagination But he always stays behind And these are the days when our work has come assunder And these are the days when we look for something other
Midnight is where the day begins Midnight is where the day begins Midnight is where the day begins A man makes a picture A moving picture Through light projected He can see himself up close A man captures colour A man likes to stare He turns his money into light To look for her She is the dreamer She`s imagination Through the light projected He can see himself up close
Gotta meet her there She`s your destination There`s no sleeping there She`s imagination
STAY (FARAWAY SO CLOSE!)
Green light Seven Eleven You stop in for a pack of cigarettes You don`t smoke don`t even want to I see you check your change Dressed up like a car crash The wheels are turning but you`re upside down You say when he hits you you don`t mind Because when he hurts you you feel alive Is that what it is? Red lights grey morning You stumble out of a hole in the ground A vampire or a victim It depend`s on who`s around You used to stay in to watch the adverts You could lip synch to the talk shows And if you look you look through me And if you talk it`s not to me
And when I touch you you don`t feel a thing If I could stay then the night would give you up Stay and the day would keep its trust Stay and the night would be enough Faraway so close Up with the static and the radio With satelite television You can go anywhere Miami New Orleans London Belfast and Berlin And if you listen I can`t call And if you jump you just might fall And if you shout I`ll only hear you If I Stay Stay Stay Stay
could stay then the night would give you up then the day would keep its trust with the demons you drowned with the spirit I found and the night would be enough
Three o`clock in the morning It`s quiet and there`s no one around Just the bang and the clatter As an angel runs to ground Just the bang and the clatter As an angel hits the ground

SOME DAYS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS
Some Some Some Some
days days days slip
are dry some days are leaky come clean other days are sneaky take less but most days take more through your fingers and onto the floor
Some Some Some Some
days days days days
you`re quick but most days you`re speedy you use more force than is necessary just drop in on us are better than others
Some days it all adds up And what you got is enough Some days are better than others Some days are slippy other days sloppy Some days you can`t stand the sight of a puppy
Your skin is white but you think you`re a brother Some days are better than others Some Some Some Some
days you wake up with her complaining sunny days you wish it was raining days are sulky some days have a grin days have bouncers and won`t let you in
Some days you hear a voice Taking you to another place Some days are better than others Some days are honest some days are not Some days you`re thankful for what you`ve got Some days you wake up in the army And some days it`s the enemy Some days you work most days you`re lazy Some days you feel like a bit of a baby Lookin` for Jesus and His mother Some days are better than others Some days you feel ahead You`re making sense of what she said Some days are better than others Some days you hear a voice Taking you to another place Some days are better than others
THE FIRST TIME
I have a lover A lover like no other She got soul soul soul sweet soul And she teach me how to sing Shows me colours when there`s none to see Gives me hope when I can`t believe that For the first time I feel love
I have a brother When I`m a brother in need I spend my whole life running He spends his running after me When I feel myself going down I just call and he comes around But for the first time I feel love My father was a rich man He wears a rich man`s cloak Gave me the key to his kingdom coming Gave me a cup of gold He said `I have many mansions And there are many rooms to see` But I left by the back door And I threw away the key For the first time For the first time For the first time I feel love
DIRTY DAY
I don`t know you And you don`t know the half of it I had a starring role I was the bad guy who walked out They said be careful where you aim Because where you aim you just might hit You can hold onto something so tight You`ve already lost it Dragging me down That`s not the way it used to be You can`t even remember What I`m trying to forget
It was a dirty day A dirty day You want explanations I don`t even understand If you need someone to blame Throw a rock in the air You`re bound to hit someone guilty From father to son In one life has begun A work that`s never done Father to son And love It won`t last kissin` time Get it right There`s no blood thicker than ink Hear what I say Nothing`s simple as you think Wake up Somethings you can`t get around I`m in you More so when they put me in the ground It was a dirty day A dirty day Hank says The days run away like horses over the hills
THE WANDERER
I went out walking through the streets paved with gold Lifted some stones Saw the skin and bones Of a city without a soul I went out walking under an atomic sky Where the ground won`t turn And the rain it burns
Like the tears when I said goodbye Yeah I went with nothing Nothing but the thought of you I went wandering I went drifting through the capitals of tin Where men can`t walk Or freely talk And sons turn their fathers in I stopped outside a church house Where the citizens like to sit They say they want the kingdom But they don`t want God in it I went out riding Down that ol` eight lane I passed by a thousand signs Looking for my own name I went with nothing But the thought you`d be there too Looking for you I went out there In search of experience To taste and to touch And to feel as much As a man can Before he repents I went out searching lookin` for one good man A spirit who would not bend or break Who would sit at his father`s right hand I went out walking with a bible and a gun The word of God lay heavy on my heart I was sure I was the one Now Jesus don`t you wait up Jesus I`ll be home soon Yeah I went out for the papers Told her I`d be back by noon Yeah I left with nothing But the thought you`d be there too Looking for you Yeah I left with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you I went wandering

YOUR BLUE ROOM
It`s time to go again To your blue room Got some questions to ask of you In your blue room The air is clean Your skin is clear I`ve had enough fun hanging `round here It`s a different kind of conversation Your blue room Saw me coming In outside Saw me coming Somewhere I can hide And time is a string of pearls Your blue room I`m a swinger See the future just hanging there Your blue room A new frame A new perspective Looking down on my objectives Your instructions whatever their directions Your blue room Saw me coming East by the moon Saw me coming Can you feel It`s allright Your blue room One day I`ll be back Your blue room Yeah
I hope I remember where it`s at Your blue room We see me slide Won`t you give me a home So much for change Zooming in Zooming out Nothing I can`t do without A lense to it all up close Magnifying what no one knows Never in company Never alone No car alarm No cellular phone

A DIFFERENT KIND OF BLUE
Those cars All new So small Down there From here So high We drift We fly The twlight breaking through A different kind of blue More lights Blue signs More gold More new So small So high Down there Tonight With the twilight breaking through It`s a different kind of blue The twilight breaking through It`s a different kind of blue

MISS SARAJEVO
Is there a time for keeping the distance A time to turn your eyes away Is there a time for keeping your head down For getting on with your day Is there a time for curl and lipstick A time for cutting hair Is there a time for High Street shopping To find the right dress to wear Here she comes Oooh hoo please turn around Here she comes to take her Crown Is there a time A time for kiss Is there a time Different means Is there a time A time for east Is there a time Is there a time
to run for cover and tell for different colors you find it hard to spell for First Communion seventeen to turn to Mecca to be a beauty Queen
Here she comes Oooh hoo beauty praise the Crown Here she comes so real in her Crown "Dici che il fiume trova la via al mare E come il fiume giungerai a me Oltre i confini e le terre assetate Dici che come fiume come fiume l`Amore giunger L`Amore E non so piu pregare E` nell`Amore non so piu sperare E quell`Amore non so piu aspettare"
Is there a time for tying ribbons A time for Christmas trees Is there a time for laying tables When the night is set to frezze

Love...Love... Love...
It`s no trick `Cause you can`t learn it It`s the way you don`t play that`s okay `Cause you can`t earn it You know you`re chewing bubblegum You know what that is But you still want some You just can`t get enough Of that lovie dovie stuff Let go Discotheque Go go Discotheque Looking for the one But you know you`re somewhere else instead You wanna be the song Be the song you hear in your head Love... You want heaven in your heart Heaven in your heart The sun the moon and the stars But you take what you can get `Cause it`s all that you can find But you know there`s something more Tonight tonight tonight Ha...ha...

DO YOU FEEL LOVED?
Take these hands they`re good for nothing You know these hands have never worked a day Take theses boots they`re going nowhere You know these boots they don`t want to stray You got my head filled with songs You got my shoelaces undone Take my shirt go on take it off me You can tear it up If you can tie me down Do you Loved? Do you Do you Loved? Do you
feel feel loved? feel feel loved?
Take the colours of my imagination Take the scent hanging in the air Take this tangle of a conversation And turn it into your own prayer With my fingers as you want them With my nails under your hide With my teeth at your back And my tongue to tell you the sweetest lies Do you Loved? Do you Do you And it But it
feel feel loved? feel loved? looks like the sun feels like rain
Love`s a bully pushing and shoving In the belly of a woman Heavy rhythm taking over To stick together A man and a woman
Stick together Man and woman Stick together Do you feel Loved? Do you feel loved? Do you feel Loved? And it looks like the sun But it feels like rain And there`s heat in the sun To see us through the rain Do you Loved? Do you Do you Do you Loved?
feel feel loved? feel loved? feel
MOFO
Lookin` for to save my save my soul Lookin` in the places where no flowers grow Lookin` for to fill that God shaped hole Mother Mother sucking rock and roll Holy dunc spacejunk comin` in for the splash White dopes on punk staring into the flash Lookin` for baby Jesus under the trash Mother Mother sucking rock and roll Mother Mother sucking rock and rock and rock and roll Mother Mother
Mother am I still your son You know I`ve waited for so long to hear you say so Mother you left and made me someone Now I`m still a child But no one tells me no Lookin` for a sound that`s gonna drown out the world Lookin` for the father of my two little girls Got the swing got the sway got my straw in lemonade Still looking for the face I had before the world was made Mother Mother sucking rock and roll Bubble poppin` sugar droppin` rock and roll Mother Mother Mother Mother Mother Mother Soothe me mother Rule me father Move me brother Woo me sister Rule me father Soothe me mother Show me mother Show me mother Show me mother Show me mother
IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS
Nobody else here baby No one else her to blame No one to point the finger It`s just you and me and the rain Nobody made you do it No one put words in your mouth
Nobody here taking orders When love took a train heading south It`s the blind leading the blond It`s the stuff the stuff of country songs Hey if God will send his angels And if God will send a sign And if God will send his angels Would everything be alright? God has got his phone off the hook babe Would he even pick up if he could? It`s been a while seen we saw that child Hangin` `round his neighbourhood See his mother dealing in a doorway See Father Christmas with a begging bowl Jesus sister`s eyes are a blister The high street never looked so low It`s the blind leading the blond It`s the cops collecting for the cons So where is the hope And where is the faith And the love? What`s that you say to me Does love Light up your Christmas tree? The next minute you`re blowing a fuse And the cartoon network turns into the news Hey if God will send his angels And if God will send a sign And if God will send his angels Where do we go? Jesus never let me down you know Jesus used to show me the score Then they put Jesus in show business Now it`s hard to get in the door It`s the stuff It`s the stuff of country songs But I guess it was something to go on Hey if God will send his angels I sure could use them here right now
Well if God will send his angels Where do we go?
STARING AT THE SUN
Summer stretching on the grass Summer dresses pass In the shade of a willow tree Creeps a crawling over me Over me and over you Stuck together with God`s glue It`s going to get stickier too It`s been a long hot summer Let`s get undercover Don`t try too hard to think Don`t think at all I`m not the only one Starin` at the sun Afraid of what you`d find If you took a look inside Not just deaf and dumb Staring at the sun Not the only one Who`s happy to go blind There`s an insect in your ear If you scratch it won`t disappear It`s gonna itch and burn and sting Do you want to see what the scratching brings Waves that leave me out of reach Breaking on your back like a beach Will we ever live in peace? `Cause those that can`t do often have to Those that can`t do often have to preach To the ones staring at the sun Afraid of what you`d find If you took a look inside Not just deaf and dumb Staring at the sun
I`m not the only one Who`s happy to go blind Intransigence is all around Military still in town Armour plated suits and ties Daddy just won`t say goodbye Referee won`t blow the whistle God is good but will he listen I`m nearly great But there`s something I`m missing I left in the duty free Though you never really belonged to me You`re not the only one Starin` at the sun Afraid of what you`d find If you stepped back inside I`m not sucking my thumb I`m staring at the sun Not the only one Who`s happy to go blind Ah Ah Ah Ah
ah ah ah ah

LAST NIGHT ON EARTH
She But The The The
feels the earth is giving way she thinks we`re better off that way more you take the less you feel less you know the more you believe more you have the more it takes today
You gotta give it away You gotta give it away You gotta give it away She dosen`t care what it`s woth She`s living like it`s the last night on earth
The last night on earth She`s not waiting on a saviour to come She`s at a bus stop with the News of the World And the Sun Sun here it comes She`s not waiting for anyone You gotta give it away You gotta give it away You gotta give it away She knows just what it`s worth She`s living like it`s the last night on earth The last night on earth Slipping away Slip slide The world turns and we get dizzy Slipping away She`s living next week now You know she`s going to pay you back somehow The future is so predictable The past is too uncomfortable You gotta give it away You gotta give it away You gotta give it away She already knows it hurts She`s living like it`s the last night on earth The last night on earth Last night on earth Last night on earth
GONE
You gotta feel so guilty Got so much for so little Then you find that feeling just won`t go away
You`re holding on to every thing so tightly Till there`s nothing left for you anyway Goodbye You can I`ll be And not I`m not I`m not
keep this suit of lights up with the sun coming down coming down coming down
You wanted to get somewhere so badly You had to lose yourself along the way You change a name but that`s okay It`s necesarry And what you leave behind You don`t miss anyway Goodbye You can I`ll be And not I`m not I`m not
keep this suit of lights up with the sun coming down coming down coming down
And I`m already gone Felt that way all along Closer to you every day I didn`t want it that much anyway You`re taking steps that make you feel dizzy Then you get to like the way it feels You hurt yourself you hurt your lover Then you discover What you thought was freedom is just greed Goodbye No emotional Goodnight We`ll be up with the sun Are you still holding on I`m not coming down I`m not coming down I`m not coming down
MIAMI
Weather `round here choppin` and changin` Surgery in the air Print shirts and southern accents Cigars and big hair We got the wheels and petrol is cheap Only went there for a week Git the sun got the sand Got the batteries in the handycam Her eyes all swimming pool blue Dumb bells on a diving board Baby`s always attracted to the things she`s afraid of Big girl with the sweet tooth Watches the skinny girl in the photo shoot Freshmen squeaky clean She tastes of clorine Miami My mammy Love the movies Love to walk those movie sets Get to shoot someone in the foot Get to smoke some cigarettes No big deal we know the score Just back from the video store Got the car and the car chase What`s he got inside the case I want a close up of that face Here comes the car chase Miami My mammy Miami I bought two new suits Miami Pink and blue Miami I took a picture of you My mammy
Getting hot in a photo booth Miami I said you looked like a madonna You said maybe Said I want to have your baby Baby Baby We could make something beautiful Something that wouldn`t be a problem At least not in Miami Some places are like your auntie But there`s no place like Miami My mammy Miami Miami
THE PLAYBOY MANSION
If coke Is a mystery Michael Jackson History If beauty is truth And surgery the fountain of youth What am I to do Have I got the gifts to get me through The gates of that Mansion If OJ is more than a drink And a Big Mac bigger than you think If perfume is an obsession And talk shows confession What have we got to lose Another push and maybe we`ll be through The gates of that Mansion
I never bought a lotto ticket I never parked in anyone`s space The banks they`re like cathedrals I guess casinos took their place Love come on down Don`t wake her she`ll come around Chance is a kind of religion Where you`re damned for plain hard luck I never did see that movie I never did read that book Love come on down Let my numbers come around Don`t know if I can hold on Don`t know if I`m that strong Don`t know if I can wait that long Till the colours come flashing And the lights go on Then will there be Then will there be And though I can`t I know I`ve got to
no time of sorrow no time for shame say why believe
We`ll go driving in that pool It`s who you know that gets you through The gates of the Playboy Mansion Playboy Mansion The Playboy Mansion Then Then Then Then
will will will will
there there there there
be be be be
no no no no
time time time time
of sorrow for pain of sorrow for shame
IF YOU WEAR THAT VELVET DRESS
Tonight the moon is playing tricks again Feeling sea sick again An the world could just dissolve
Into a glass of water I`ve been good `cause I know you don`t want me to Do you really want me to be as blue as you It`s her daylight that gets me through We`ve been here before Last time you scratched at my door The moon was naked and cold I was like a two year old Who just wanted more If you wear that velvet dress If you wear that velvet dress Tonight the moon has drawn its curtains It`s a private show no one esle going to know I`m waiting Sunlight Sunlight fills my room It`s sharp and it`s clear But nothing at all like the moon It`s okay The struggle for things not to say I never listened to you anyway And I got my own hands to pray If you wear that velvet dress If you wear that velvet dress Tonight the moon is a mirrorball Light flickers from across the hall Who`ll catch the star when it falls If you wear that velvet dress If you wear that velvet dress
PLEASE
So you never knew love Until you crossed the line of grace And you never felt wanted Till you had someone slap your face So you never felt alive Until you almost wasted away You had to win You couldn`t just pass The smartest ass At the top of the class Your flying colours Your family tree And all your lessons in history Please Please Please Get up off your knees Please Please Please So you never know How low you`d stoop to make that call And you never knew What was on the ground till they mad you crawl And you never knew that The heaven you keep you stole Your catholic blues Your convent shoes Your stick on tattoos Now they`re making the news Your holy war Your northern star Your sermont on the mount From the booth of your car Please Please Please Get up off your knees Please Please Please
Leave me out of this So love is hard and love is tough But love is not what you`re thinking of September Streets capsizing Spilling over Down the drain Shards of glass splinters like rain But you could only feel Your own pain October Talking getting nowhere November December Remember Are we just starting again Please Please Please Get up off your knees Please Please Please Please So love is big bigger than us But love is not what your thinking of It`s what lovers deal It`s what lovers steal You know I`ve found it hard to receive `Cause you my love I could never believe
WAKE UP DEAD MAN
Jesus Jesus help me I`m alone in this world And a fucked up world it is too
Tell me Tell me the story The one about eternity And the way it`s all gonna be Wake Wake Wake Wake
up up dead man up up dead man
Jesus I`m waiting here boss I know you`re looking out for us But maybe your hands aren`t free Your Father He made the world in seven He`s in charge of heaven Will you put a word in for me Wake Wake Wake Wake
up up dead man up up dead man
Listen to your words They`ll tell you what to do Listen over the rhythm that`s confusing you Listen to the reed in the saxophone Listen over the hum of the radio Listen over the sounds of blades in rotation Listen through the traffic and circulation Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme Listen over marching bands playing out their time Wake Wake Wake Wake
up up dead man up up dead man
Jesus Were you just around the corner? Did you think to try and warn her? Or are you working on something new? If there`s and order In all of this disorder Is it like a tape recorder?
Can we rewind it just once more Wake Wake Wake Wake
up up dead man up up dead man
Here`s the facts.......enjoy

WIDE AWAKE IN AMERICA The Lyrics A SORT OF HOMECOMING (live)
And you know it`s time to go Through the sleet and driving snow Across the fields of morning Light in the distance And you hunger for the time Time to heal desire time And your earth moves beneath Your own dream landscape Oh oh oh... On borderland we run...mmmm mmm I`ll be there I`ll be there Tonight We`ll build a bridge Across the sea and land The city walls are all come down The dust a smoke screen all around Faces ploughed like fields that once Gave no resistance Oh oh oh...on borderland we run... And still we run We run and don`t look back I`ll be I`ll be Tonight Tonight I`ll be I`ll be
there there
there tonight there tonight
o-com-away o-com-away o-com-away-say.......
The wind will crack in winter time This bomb-blast lightning waltz No spoken words just a scream... Tonight We`ll build a bridge Across the sea and land I`ll be there I`ll be there Tonight......Tonight And your heart beats so slow Through the sleep and driving snow Across the fields of morning ight`s in the distance Oh don`t sorrow no don`t weep For tonight with you I am coming home I am coming home
BAD (live)
If you twist and turn away If you tear yourself in two again If I could yes I would If I could I would Let it go Surrender Dislocate If I could throw this Lifeless lifeline to the wind Leave this heart of clay See you walk walk away Into the night And through the rain Into the half-light And through the flame
If I could through myself Set your spirit free I`d lead your heart away See you break Break away Into the light In to the day To let And so To let And so
it go to fade away it go fade away
I`m wide awake I`m wide awake Wide awake I`m not sleeping Oh no no no If you should ask then maybe they`d Tell you what I would say True colors fly in blue and black Bruised silken sky and burning flag Colors crash collide in blood shot eyes If I could you know I would If I could I would Let it go... This desparation Dislocation Separation Condemnation Revelation In temptation Isolation Desolation Let it go And so fade away To let it go And so fade away To let it go And so to fade away I`m wide awake I`m wide awake
Wide awake I`m not sleeping Oh no no no

LOVE COMES TUMBLING
Love don`t need to find a way You find your own way I forget that I can`t stay And so I say that All rods lead to where you are All roads lead to where you are The seed is split the bed defiled For you a virgin bride Find yourself in someone else Don`t find yourself in me I can`t lift you up again Love comes tumbling down again Love don`t need to find a way You find your own way I forget that I can`t stay And so I say that All roads lead to where you are All roads lead to where you are

U2 - THE B-SIDES The Lyrics From before BOY to RATTLE AND HUM THE FOOL
Alive in an ocean A world that I didn`t see I walk the world backways It`s aways the same ballgame That`s out of mind Out of the living world Out of time I break all the rules They call me a fool I cartoon in motion A hero pretends no pain A clown slipping backwards You laugh at another`s shame But I don`t mind I know I`m limping low down I don`t mind Winners or losers It`s all just a game And I`m going down And I`m strolling down Life and an answer The key to an open door Admiting I`m laughing Living I`m limping more It`s out of mind Out of the living world Out of time Winners or losers
It`s always a game And I`m going down But I`m strolling down To rout around And around and around To round round There`s a cloud There`s a cloud So...the fool has found the golden key So...it`s waiting there for you and me Just a fool a street jester The hero of society Just a fool a street jester Look at me now can`t you see A A A A
life in emotion world I`m glad I didn`t see cartoon in motion key to the same day
I don`t mind I`m here to know I wanna go go go go go So...the fool has found the golden key It`s so...it`s waiting there for you and me Just a fool a street jester The hero of society Just a fool a street jester Look at me now can`t you see

TREASURE (Whatever happened to Pete the Chop?)
I like to smile But I like to mostly stay with you I like good times But I can`t feel this without you By my song The heart is in the place I sing this song Probably so... If I could sigh I`d tell the world I`d felt with you I like the time I like the feeling when I feel you in my arms I`ll take you in my hand I`ll let you go Somebody save me Somebody save me... Sing it Sing my sing my song We sing the same old song loud Smile...though your heart breaks in two Touch me...when will I be with you I like good times But I can feel it`s going wrong You sing the same old song Now I think it`s time to get it right Sing it out sing out... Sing this same old song
If I could swim I`d swim in circles If I could I`d I`d drown with you If I had enough of my life I can`t tell If I had enough of you Sing the same old...

WALK TO THE WATER
She said it wasn`t cold She left her coat at home She wore canvas shoes White canvas shoes Around her neck she wore a silver necklace It was given to me by my father she said It was given me She took the backway home Passed the lights and the summer hill Turned left on to the norths strand And on... and towards the sea He said he was an artist But he really painted billboards In large capital letters In large capital letters
He was telling jokes Nobody else would listen to him I saw you that day your lips were cherry red Your legs were crossed your arms wide open Your hair was coloured gold Like a field of corn You were blown by the wind Blown by the wind Walk Walk Walk Walk
walk walk with me a walk walk me in the
to the water while to the water light
A room in the wild town She facing views A man with a suitcase Full of things he doesn`t need I`m looking through your window I`m looking through your doorway I`m on the outside let me in Let me love you Let me love you Let me Walk Walk Walk Walk
walk with walk with
walk me a walk me a
to the water while to the roadside while

SILVER AND GOLD
In the shit house a shotgun
Praying hands hold me down If only the hunter was hunted In this tin can town No stars in the black sky Looks like the sky fall down No sun in the daylight Looks like it's chained to the ground. Broken back to the ceiling Broken nose to the floor I scream at the silence That crawls under the door under the floor The warden says "The exit is sold" If you want a way out Silver and Gold. Silver and Gold. There's a rope around my neck There's a trigger in your gun Jesus say something! I am someone! I see the coming and the going The captains and the kings Their navy blue uniforms Them bright and shiny things Yes captains and kings In the slave ships hold They came to collect Silver and Gold Silver and Gold The temperature is rising The fever white hot Mister I ain't got nothing But it's more that you've got. These chains no longer bind me Nor the shackles at my feet Outside are the prisoners Inside the free Set them free
A prize fighter in a corner is told Hit where it hurts For Silver and Gold Silver and Gold. You can stop the world from turning round. You just gotta pay a penny in the pound.

DANCING BAREFOOT
She is benediction She is addicted to he She is the root connection and She is connecting to me Here I go and I don`t know why I spin so ceaselessly Could it be he`s taking over me I`m dancing barefoot Headed for a spin Some strange music drags me in Makes me come up like some heroine She is sublimation She is the essence of thee She is concentrating on He who is chosen by she Here I go and I don`t know why I spin so ceaselessly Could it be he`s taking over me
I`m dancing barefoot Headed for a spin Some strange music drags me in Makes me come up like some heroine She is recreation She intoxicated by thee She has the slow sensation that He is levitating with she Here I go when I don`t know why I spin so ceaselessly `Till I lose my sense of gravity I`m dancing barefoot Headed for a spin Some strange music drags me in Makes me come up like some heroine Oh God I feel for you Oh God I feel for you Oh God I feel for you

NIGHT AND DAY
Where the jungle shadows fall Like the tick tick tick of the eye of the clock You`re standing up against the wall Like the drip drip drip of the rain drops When the sun shines through So a voice within me Keeps revealing you...you Night and day You are the one Only you beneath the moon And under the sun Whether near to me or far It`s no matter baby where you are I think of you Night and day Day and night Why is it so That this longing for you follows wherever I go In the roaring traffic gloom In the silence of my lonely room I think of you Night and day Night and day Under the hide of me Though such a hungry yearning Burning inside of me This torment won`t be through `Til you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night Night and day hoho...dodo.... Night and day Under the hide of me Oh such a hungry yearning Burning burning inside of me This torment won`t be through `Til you let me spend my life making love to you Day and night Night and day Night Night Night Night Night Night
and day and day and day night night and day night night and day and Day

THE LOUNGE FLY MIX
Aaah Aaah.... Shine like a burning star that falls down from the sky Star.... It`s no secret that the stars Are falling from the sky It`s no secret that I left you And still I don`t know why They say the Sun is sometimes Eclipsed by a moon You know I`d come back baby If you gave me some room It`s no secret that a friend Is someone who lets you help It`s no secret that a liar Won`t believe anyone else They say a secret is something You tell one other person What do you think Child? Shine like a burning star that falls from the sky Star.... A man will beg A man will crawl But it`s never too late To take his call It`s no secret at all It`s no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest It`s no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal Every poet is a thief And everyone needs music `cos everyone needs relief Shine like a burning star falling from the sky Star like a shining light A man will rise A man will fall From the sheer face of love Like a fly from the wall It`s no secret at all Shine like a burning star falling from the sky tonight Shine like a burning star falling from the sky tonight A man will rise A man will fall From the sheer face of love Like a fly from the wall It`s no secret at all It`s no secret that the stars are falling from the sky The universe exploding `Cos one man told a lie Yeah I gotta go Yeah I`m running out of change There`s a lot of things If I could I`d rearrange Shine like a fading star

WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG?
Did you get it Did you need it Was it really what you wanted Was it done In the sun Did you really have the fun Did you crack it Did you grab it Did you feel it Like a rabbit Did you Rock Did you Roll Did you notice me at all I heard that you do And there was something in the song Where did it all go wrong? Where did it all go wrong?
PAINT IT BLACK
I see a red door and I want it painted black No colours anymore I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes I see a line of cars and they`re all painted black With flowers and my love both never to come back I see them turn their heads and quickly look away Like a new born baby it just happens every day I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and I want it painted black Maybe then I`ll fade away and not have to face the facts It`s not easy facing up when your whole world is black No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue I could not foresee this thing happening to you If I look hard enough into the setting sun My love will laugh with me before the morning comes I wanna see you baby painted black black as coal I wanna see you baby painted black black as night
FORTUNATE SON
Some folks are born made to wave the flag Yeah the red white and blue When the band plays "Hail To The Chief" `Yeah they`ll point the cannon at you It ain`t me it ain`t I`m no millionaire`s It ain`t me it ain`t I ain`t no fortunate

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand Well they help themselves yeah When the taxman comes to the door House looks a like a rummage sale It ain`t me it ain`t me I ain`t no millionaire`s son It ain`t me it ain`t me I ain`t no fortunate one no Some Yeah Well Yeah
folks inherit star spangled eyes when they send you down to war when you ask them how much you should give it`s always more more more
It ain`t me it ain`t me I ain`t no senator`s son
It ain`t me I`m no fortunate one It ain`t me it ain`t me I ain`t no military son It ain`t me it ain`t me I ain`t no fortunate son Take it away...
CAN`T HELP FALLING IN LOVE
Falling in Love.... Wise men say only fools rush in But I can`t help falling in love with you Shall I stay would it be a sin If I can`t help falling in love with you Like a river flows surely to the sea Darling so it goes some things are meant to be Take my hand take my whole life too For I can`t help falling in love with you For I can`t help falling in love with you For I can`t help falling in love with you Falling in Love....

I HAVE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN
I have got you under my skin I`ve got you deep in the heart of me So deep in my heart You`re nearly a part of me I`ve got you under my skin I have tried so not to give in I have said to myself this affair Never gonna go somewhere But why should I try to resist When baby I know so well That I`ve got you under my skin I would sacrafice anything Come what might For the sake of holding you near In spite of a warning voice That comes in the night It repeats and it shouts in my ear Don`t you know blue-eyes You never can win Use your mentality Wake up to reality But each time I do Just the thought of you Makes me stop before I begin `Cause I`ve got you under my skin I`d sacrifice anything Come what might For the sake of having you near In spite of a warning voice That comes in the night It repeats and it shouts in my ear Don`t you know ya old fool You never can win Use your mentality Wake up to reality But each time that I do Just the thought of you Makes me stop before I begin `Cause I`ve got you under my skin And I love you when you're under my skin
SLOW DANCING
My love is cruel as the night she steals the sun shuts out the light All of my colors they turn to blue win or loose She does it sloooooooooow dancing sloooooooooow dancing She does it sloooooooooow dancing All night long Scarlet eyes and see through heart She saw me coming right from the start She picked me up but I`ve been down on my knees just to beg her begging her please Take me slooow dancing slooooooooow dancing she took me slooow dancing all night long And I don`t know why a man searches for himself in his lover`s eyes No I don`t know why a man sees the truth but needs the lies My love is restless as the wind She moves like a shadow across my skin She left with my conscience I don`t want it back It just gets in my way If you wanna go slooow dancing slooow dancing she took me slooooooooow dancing All night long Slooooooooow dancing Slooooooooow dancing Slooooooooow dancing Slooooooooow
TWO SHOTS OF HAPPY ONE SHOT OF SAD
Two shots of happy one shot of sad You think I`m no good well I know I`ve been bad Took you to a place now you can`t get back Two shots of happy one shot of sad Walked together down a dead end street We were mixing the bitter with the sweet Don`t try to figure out what we might of had Just two shots of happy one shot of sad I`m just a singer some say a sinner Rolling the dice not always a winner You say I`ve been lucky well hell I`ve made my own Not part of the crowd but not feeling alone Under pressure but not bent out of shape Surrounded we always found an escape Drove me to drink but hey that`s not all bad Two shots of happy one shot of sad Guess I`ve been greedy all of my life Greedy with my children my lovers my wife Greedy for the good things as well as the bad Two shots of happy one shot of sad Maybe it`s just talk saloon singing The chairs are all stacked the swinging`s stopped swinging You say I hurt you you put the finger on yourself Then after you did it you came crying for my help Two I`m You Two
shots of happy one shot of sad not complaining baby I`m glad call it a compromise well what`s that shots of happy one shot of sad
Two shots of happy one shot of sad
MISS SARAJEVO
Is there a time for keeping the distance A time to turn your eyes away Is there a time for keeping your head down Forgetting all of our day Is there a time for curl and lipstick A time for cutting hair Is there a time for High Street shopping To find the right dress to wear Here she comes Oooh hoo please turn around Here she comes to take her Crown Is there a time to run for cover A time for kiss and tell Is there a time for different colors Different means you find it hard to spell Is there a time for First Communion A time for east seventeen Is there a time to turn to Mecca Is there a time to be a beauty Queen Here she comes Oooh hoo beauty praise the Crown Here she comes so real in her Crown "Dici che il fiume trova la via al mare E come il fiume giungerai a me Oltre i confini e le terre assetate Dici che come fiume come fiume l`Amore giunger L`Amore che non posso pi prepare E` nell`Amore che non so pi sperare E quell`Amore non so pi aspettare" Is there a time for tie and ribbons A time for Christmas trees Is there a time for laying tables When the night is set you frezze

TESTIMONY (U2 & Robbie Robertson)
Look over yonder, Apollo at a distance You can hear his music if you listen to the wind, blow I want to be there, I want to be right there I want to see it with my own eyes Bear witness, I`m wailing like the wind
Come bear witness, the half breed rides again In these hands, I`ve held the broken dream In my soul, I`m howling at the moon Testimony Oha, testimony Oha Declare yourself I will testify Testimony Oha, testimony Oha Speak the truth I will testify I had a revelation, like runaway horses Took the road, with a carnival show, roll on Those golden days on Smokey Mountain Playing guitar in a one man band Bear witness, I`m howling at the moon Come bear witness, I`ve danced among the ruins In these shoes, I`ve walked a crooked mile All my life I been searching for the nightbird Testimony Oha, testimony Oha Declare yourself, I will testify Testimony Oha, testimony Oha Speak the truth,I will testify Are Are Are You
you you you got
you ready to take the heat ready to blow the steam ready to bag the street nothing to lose but your chains
For forty days and forty nights I come across the desert Apollo right by my side, rave on Bear witness, I`m wailing like the wind Come bear witness, the half breed rides again In these hands, I`ve held the broken dream In my soul, I`m howling at the moon Testimony Oha, testimony Oha Declare yourself, I will testify Testimony Oha, testimony Oha Speak the truth, I will testify ..........

Love Step over ...I`ll follow you down ...I`ll follow you down In the name of whiskey in the name of song You didn`t look back you didn`t belong In the name of reason in the name of hope In the name of religion in the name of dope In the name of freedom you drifted away To see the sun on someone else`s day In the name of United and the BBC In the name of Georgie Best and LSD In the name of the father and his wife the spirit You said you did not they said you did it In the name of justice in the name of fun In the name of the father in the name of the son Call to me No one is listening...I`m waiting to hear from you Stay with me It`s cold in the ground But there`s peace in the sound Of the white and the black Spilling over ...I`ll follow you down Aaaaah......
Love
So long so long so....... Aaaaah...... So ...I`ll follow you down So ...I`ll follow you down
LITTLE BLACK DRESS (Gavin Friday & Bono and TheEdge)
Here she comes like a child with a gun She makes you feel you`re the only one She smiles and it`s dangerous....In a little black dress Superman and the filthy rich Get in the queue to scratch her itch Sticky fingers pulling at the hem Of her little black dress Baby don`t mind She can leave it behind She don`t want anything Aaaah Baby`s a star, she`s got to keep on shining She moves like an animal The women sighs "It`s political" You could get arrested `round here For that little black dress Not so simple, it`s complicated... All this being loved and hated Aaaaaaaaah I wanna know what else she`s hiding n that little black dress Baby don`t mind She can leave it behind Aaaah She don`t want anything Aaaah Baby`s a star, she`s got to keep on shining Don`t pay no mind, you`re gonna leave me behind I don`t want anything, Baby you`re a star I wanna hear you sing Aaaaah Aaaaah...... Lay dadadaday...... Aaaaah Aaaaah......
I`VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN (Bono & Frank Sinatra)
I have got you under my skin I`ve got you deep in the heart of me So deep in my heart You`re nearly a part of me I`ve got you under my skin I have tried so not to give in I have said to myself this affair Never gonna go somewhere But why should I try to resist When baby I know so well That I`ve got you under my skin I would sacrafice anything Come what might For the sake of holding you near In spite of a warning voice That comes in the night It repeats and it shouts in my ear Don`t you know blue-eyes You never can win Use your mentality Wake up to reality But each time I do Just the thought of you Makes me stop before I begin `Cause I`ve got you under my skin I`d sacrifice anything Come what might For the sake of having you near In spite of a warning voice That comes in the night It repeats and it shouts in my ear Don`t you know ya old fool You never can win Use your mentality
Wake up to reality But each time that I do Just the thought of you Makes me stop before I begin `Cause I`ve got you under my skin And I love you when you're under my skin
SHE`S A MYSTERY GIRL (Bono and Edge wrote this for Roy Orbison)
Darkness falls and she Will take me by the hand Take me to some twilight land Where all but love is gray Where I can't find my way Without her as my guide Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell Day light comes Our heaven turns to hell Am I left to burn And burn eternally She's a mystery to me She's a mystery girl She's a mystery girl In the night of love Words tangled in her hair Words soon to disappear A love so sharp it cut Like a switchblade to my heart Words tearing me apart She tears again My bleeding heart I wanna run She's pulling me apart Fallen angel cries
And I just melt away She's She's She's She's She's
a a a a a
mystery mystery mystery mystery mystery
to me girl girl girl girl
Haunted by her sight It's the darkness in her eyes That so enslaves me But if my love is blind Then I don't want to see She's a mystery to me Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell Day light comes Our heaven turns to hell Am I left to burn And burn eternally She's a mystery to me She's a mystery girl...
IN A LIFETIME (Bono and Clannad)
Hard to tell Or recognize a sign To see me through A warning sign First the thunder Then the storm Torn assunder In the storm Satisfied If the past it will not lie The future, you and I Get blown away In a lifetime In a lifetime
And as the rain it falls Heavy in my heart Believe the light in you Faded and worn Torn asunder in the storm Begin again As the storm breaks through So the light shines in you Without color Torn asunder in the storm Unless the sound has faded from your soul Unless it disappears First the thunder Then the storm Torn asunder In the storm Selfish storm Hold on the inside One life In the storm In In In In
a a a a
lifetime lifetime lifetime lifetime

MAGGIE`S FARM / COLD TURKEY
(B. Dylan) "This is a twisted Bob Bob Dylan song"
I ain`t gonna work on Maggie`s farm no more Said I ain`t gonna work on Maggie`s farm no more Well I wake up in the morning What happen to the rain? A head full of ideas Their driving me insane It`s a shame that I even scrub the floor Yeah I ain`t gonna work on Maggie`s farm no more I ain`t gonna work for Maggie`s brother no more Said I ain`t gonna work for Maggie`s brother no more Well he hands you a nickel charge you a dime You need a credit card if you wanna good time It`s a shame that I even scrub the floor I ain`t gonna work for Maggie`s farm no more No more No more No more No more No more Temperature rising Fever is high You can`t see the future When they`re screwing up the sky Water is heavy So is my head Wish I was a baby Wish I was dead Cold Turkey`s got me on the run No more No more "Turn off the light`s mister" I ain`t gonna work on Maggie`s farm no more Said I ain`t gonna work on Maggie`s farm no more No more No more No more No more No more I ain`t gonna work on Maggie`s farm no more
HELP
(J. Lennon / P. McCartney) When I was younger So much younger than today Never needed anybody`s helping anyway And now those days are gone I`m not so self asure And now I find I`ve changed my mind Open up the door Help me if you can I`m feeling down I do apreciate you beeing round Help me get my feet back on the ground Oh will you please please help me Help me Help me And now my life has changed In oh so many ways I end up helpless Sister vanished in the hay And I feel so insecur I find I need you In ways I never done before Help me if you can I`m feeling down I do apreciate you beeing round Help me get my feet back on the ground Oh Won`t you please help me Help me Help me Help me
HELTER SKELTER
(J. Lennon / P. McCartney)
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide Where I stop and I turn And I go down for a ride Till I get to the bottom And I see you again Do you don't you want me to love you? I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you Tell me tell me tell me come on tell me the answer Well you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer Helter skelter helter skelter Helter skelter
ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER
(B. Dylan) "There must be someway out of here" Said the joker to the thief "There's too much confusion I can't get no relief Businessmen they drink my wine Plowmen dig my earth None of them along the line Know what any of it is worth" "No reason to get excited" The thief he kindly spoke "There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke But you and I whe've been through that And this is not our fate So let us not talk falsely now The hour is getting late" All along the watchtower Princes kept the view While all the women came and went Barefoot servants too
Outside in the distance A wildcat did growl Two riders where approaching The wind began to howl
Here`s my U2 Bootlegs
