U2 - When I Look At The World [Picante Remix]

When you look at the world
What is it that you see?
People find all kinds of things
That bring them to their knees
I see an expression
So clear and so true
That it changes the atmosphere
When you walk into the room

So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you it's no use
I can't see what you see
When I look at the world

When the night is someone elses
And you're trying to get some sleep
When your thoughts are too expensive
To ever want to keep
When there's all kinds of chaos
And everyone is walking lame
You don't even blink now, do you
Or even look away

So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you it's no use
I can't see what you see
When I look at the world

I can't wait any longer
I can't wait till I'm stronger
Can't wait any longer
To see what you see
When I look at the world

I'm in the waiting room
Can't see for the smoke
I think of you and your holy book
While the rest of us choke

U2 - Peace On Earth [Songs of Surrender version]

Heaven on Earth
We need it now
I'm sick of all of this
Hanging around
Sick of sorrow
Sick of pain
Sick of hearing again and again
That there's gonna be
Peace on Earth

Where I grew up
There weren't many trees
Where there was we'd tear them down
And use them on our enemies
They say that what you mock
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you

It's already gone too far
Who said that if you go in hard
You won't get hurt

Jesus could you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth
Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth
No whos or whys
No-one cries like a mother cries
For peace on Earth
She never got to say goodbye
To see the colour in his eyes
Now he's in the dirt
Peace on Earth

They're reading names out over the radio
All the folks the rest of us won't get to know
Sean and Julia, Gareth, Ann and Breda
Their lives are bigger, than any big idea

Jesus can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth
To tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth

Jesus this song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on Earth
Hear it every Christmas time
But hope and history won't rhyme
So what's it worth?
This peace on Earth

Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth
Peace on Earth

U2 - Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of [Songs of Surrender version]

I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake, the colours that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I still listen through your ears, and through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough, and you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now... my oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Oh love look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep...
I wasn't jumping... for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now
You're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass

U2 - Walk On (Ukraine) [Songs of Surrender version]

And if the comic takes the stage
And no one laughs
And does a dance on his own grave
For a photograph
This is not a curtain call
This is the greatest act of all
A stand up for freedom

Walk on, walk on
What you got they can’t steal it
They can’t even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

And if the dancer on the street
Wears a veil of tears
It’s a dance no army can defeat
Love turns her fears
Into a kind of rage
That can’t be kept inside a cage
You fight or you fly
We’re born or we die
For freedom

Walk on, walk on
What you’ve got they can’t deny it
Can’t sell it or buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
Yeah I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
You could only take so much
Walk on, walk on

Home, you don’t know what it is till you’re forced to flee one
Home, till I know where it is I will have to be one
Home, that’s where the hurt is

I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on

All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
Whatever they break
All that you dream up
All you design
All that you can’t leave behind

All that you reckon
All that you dare
All that you fought for
When it wasn’t there
All that you summit
The hills that you climb
All that you can’t leave behind

Not gonna leave it behind
Not gonna leave it behind
Not gonna leave it behind
Not gonna leave it behind

U2 - Elevation [Quincey and Sonance Mix]

High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here,
At the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse, you elevate my soul

I've lost all self-control
Been living like a mole
Now going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

A star lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you could educate my mind
Explain all these controls
I can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation

A mole, living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

Love, lift me out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you

A mole, living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...
Elevation...

U2 - Always

Here today, gone tomorrow
Crack the bone, get to the marrow
To be a bee and the flower
Before the sweetness turns to sour


What we have we're gonna keep, always
What we've lost we don't need, always
What is it that won't let you sleep, always


Be the arrow and the target
Put your head over the parapet
Be uncool, be awkward
Don't look in the obvious place
The soul needs beauty for a soulmate


Get down off your holy cloud, always
God will not deal with the proud, always
Well if you dream then dream out loud, always
Eternally yours, always


I want you
I want you
I want you


Know what to do yourself, always
Go find yourself in someone else, always
And always wear a safety belt, always
Wait for me I'm running late, always
This is the moment that we share for always
Turning slowly into a prayer, always


Now and forever
For always

U2 - Elevation [Influx Remix]

High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here
At the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse, you elevate my soul…

Soul…
You elevate my…

A star lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you could educate my mind
Explain all these controls
I can’t sing but I’ve got soul
The goal is elevation

A mole, digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

Love, lift me up out of these blues
Won’t you tell me something true
I believe in you

Soul…
I’ve got no self-control
Been living like a mole now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

Elevation…
Elevation…
Elevation…
Elevation…
Elevation…
Elevation…
Elevation…

U2 - Flower Child

(All you know, you don’t know yet)

On the fifth day of may, she was breaking away
When the moon came and sat on your shoulder
She was still young, not yet highly strung
As you need to be when you get older
George was a street, when you first faced the feat
You put money on the color of the sky
Well the color of her voice left you there with no choice
But to drink the Liffey dry

The seeds that you sow
You wanna watch them growing
Wild, you grow wild
You grow wild in my heart
Wild, you grow wild
You grow wild in my heart

Here comes Holy Joe, now how would he know
How laughter can make a man cruel
It’s fire on fire, and lovers conspire
To either a duet or duel
When it’s fire on fire, the flames just get higher
The harder you work to put them out
Well you know that you’re similar, sugar and weedkiller
Both heading north facing south


The seeds that you sow
You wanna watch them growing
Wild, you grow wild
You grow wild in my heart
Wild, you grow wild
You grow wild in my heart
Wild…

U2 - New York [Carnegie's Deli Remix]

These are the people I think of when I think of New York
It’s Eugene the doorman, Ronald the fireman
Christie on Christopher Street,
Tony at the flower market.
Lou Reed on every corner.
Songs at every light.
Great grin, asymmetrical like his songs
Diversification
Post-Medication
Concentration
Not for the whole nation
Just New York

In New York summers get hot, well into the hundreds
You can’t walk around the block without a change of clothing
Hot as a hairdryer in your face
Hot as a handbag and a can of mace
New York, I just got a place in New York

New York, New York

In New York you can forget
Forget how to sit still
Tell yourself you will stay in
But it’s down to Alphaville

New York
New York, New York
New York, New York
New York, ah-ooo

The Irish have been coming here for years
Feel like they own the place
They got the airport, city hall, dance hall, dance floor
They even got the police
Irish, Italians, Jews and Hispanics
Religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew
Happily not like me and you
I lost and found you in New York

New York, New York
New York
New York, New York
New York, ah-ooo
In New York, ah-ooo…

In New York I lost it all to you and your vices
Still I’m staying on to figure out my mid life crisis
I hit an iceberg in my life
You know I’m still afloat
You lose your balance, lose your wife
In the queue for the lifeboat
You got to put the women and children first
But you’ve got an unquenchable thirst for New York

New York, New York
New York, ah-ooo…

U2 - Don't Take Your Guns To Town

A young boy named Billy Joe, restless on the farm
A boy filled with wanderlust, who never really meant no harm
He changed his clothes and he shined his boots
And he combed his dark hair down

But his mama cried as he walked out:
‘Don’t take your guns to town
Don’t take your guns to town
Don’t take your guns… to town’

He laughed and kissed his mom and said ‘Your Billy Joe he’s the man
I can shoot as quick, I can shoot as straight, as anybody,can
But I wouldn’t shoot, without a cause, or gun nobody down’

But she cried again as he rode away:
‘Don’t take your guns to town
Son, leave your guns at home
Don’t take your guns to town’

Well he drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hands
And he tried, he tried to tell himself at last he had become a man
But a dusty cowpoke stood at his side, began to laugh him down

And he heard again his mother’s words:
‘Don’t take your guns to town
Son, leave your guns at home
Don’t take your guns…’

Don’t take your guns….
Don’t take your guns to town
Don’t take your guns….
Don’t take your guns to tow

Filled with rage then Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw
But the stranger drew his gun and fired before he even saw
As Billy Joe fell to the floor the crowd all gathered around

And wondered at his final words:
‘Don’t take your guns to town
Son, leave your guns at home
Don’t take your guns to town’

(originally recorded by Johnny Cash)

U2 - Wild Honey

In the days
When we were swinging from the trees
I was a monkey
Stealing honey from a swarm of bees
I could taste
I could taste you even then
And I would chase you down the wind

You could go there if you please
Wild honey
And if you go there, go with me
Wild honey

Did I know you?
Did I know you even then?
Before the clocks kept time
Before the world was made

From the cruel sun
You were shelter
You were my shelter and my shade

If you go there with me
Wild honey
You can do just what you please
Wild honey
Yeah, just blowing in the breeze
Wild honey
Wild, wild, wild

I'm still standing, I'm still standing
Where you left me
Are you still growing wild
With everything tame around you?

I send you flowers
Cut flowers for your hall
I know your garden's full
But is there sweetness at all?

oh oh oh

If you go there with me
Wild honey
Won't you take me, take me please
Wild honey
Yeah, swinging through the trees
Wild honey
Wild, wild, wild

U2 - Levitate

It’s in your voice, I can feel it, I can tell (it)

It’s in your voice, has me ringing me like a bell

Peace of mind, peace comes dropping slow

I’m in the mind, to let go of control

Spirit come on down, no I’m not coming down

In the backstreets, in the backstreets of our love

Through the locked doors, deep down, deep down is not enough

Spirit come on down, no I’m not coming down

(And guitar)

Who can stop us now

It’s much too late

Can’t slow us down

We can’t hesitate

I want a love that’s hard

As hard as hate

Levitate

To be the bee, to be the bee and the flower

Before the sweetness, before the sweetness turns to sour

When freedom comes, freedom has a scent

It’s like the top of a newborn baby’s head

Baby we can taste it, you and I

Spirit come on down, no I’m not coming down

Who could stop us now

Who could make us wait

Who could slow us down

Make us hesitate

I want a love that’s hard

As hard as hate

Levitate

Oh, lift me up

Spirit come, come on down, no I’m not coming down

Spirit come on down, no I’m not coming down

Spirit come, come on down, no I’m not coming down

U2 - Beautiful Day [Quincey & Sonance Remix]

Down (Day), Down (Day)
Down (Day), Down (Day)
Down (Day), Down (Day)
Down (Day), Down (Day)

Was a beautiful day / Down (Day)
Don’t let it get away / Down (Day)
Beautiful day / Down (Day)
The heart is a bloom, shoots up through stony ground
But there’s no room, no space to rent in this town
You’re out of luck and the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck and you’re not moving anywhere
You thought you’d found a friend to take you out of this place
Someone you can lend a hand in return for grace / Always

It’s a beautiful day / Down (Day)
Sky falls, you feel like it’s a beautiful day / Down
(Day)
Woo hoo hoo / Down (Day)

Touch me, take me to that other place
Teach me love, I know I’m not a hopeless case

You’re on the road but you’ve got no destination
You’re in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if that doesn’t ring true
You’ve been all over and it’s been all over you

It’s a beautiful day / Down (Day)
Sky falls, you feel like it’s a beautiful day / Down
(Day)
Woo hoo hoo / Down (Day)

Touch me, take me to that other place
Teach me love, I know I’m not a hopeless case
See the bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And, see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
(Day) Down
(Day) Day

U2 - Grace

Grace, she takes the blame
She covers the shame
Removes the stain
It could be her name

Grace, it's the name for a girl
It's also a thought that changed the world
And when she walks on the street
You can hear the strings
Grace finds goodness in everything

Grace, she's got the walk
Not on a ramp or on chalk
She's got the time to talk
She travels outside of karma
She travels outside of karma
When she goes to work
You can hear her strings
Grace finds beauty in everything

Grace, she carries a world on her hips
No champagne flute for her lips
No twirls or skips between her fingertips
She carries a pearl in perfect condition

What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings
Because Grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things

Grace makes beauty out of ugly things

U2 - Love You Like Mad

(Ready?)

(I love you, oh baby)

Nothing worth taking… so I never really took
Nothing was shaking… but baby you really shook
No one was waking… until you kept me up
If your heart was breaking…. you know I won’t see you stuck

The pain never felt so good
To feel so bad
I love you… I love you like mad
I love you… I love you like mad
Uh

(I love you)

No one worth knowing… has ever known a thing
No one who knew how… could ever teach the world to sing
You are the only one… I’ve ever listened to
So don’t wait for me to ask… tell me what to do

The pain never felt so good
To feel so bad
I love you… I love you like mad
Love you… I love you like mad
Love… love you like mad

Don’t worry baby, if you’re in the spotlight
I’ll do the maximum time… for you tonight
You know that we’re not crazy
Well maybe just a touch
Some sweet delight, a sugar rush
And some kisses cost too much

I love you… I love you like mad
Love you… I love you like mad
Love you… love you like mad
Love you… love you like mad
Owwww

Hey hey, hey hey, / (I love you, I love)
Hey hey / (I love you, I love)

Love you, love you, like mad
Love you, love you, like mad
Love you, love you, like mad
Love you, love you, like mad / (B-O-N-O off the tree)
Love you, love you, like mad / (I am going S-A-D)
(B-O-N-O on the tree, I am going M-A-D)

U2 - New York

In New York freedom looks like too many choices
In New York I found a friend to drown out the other voices
Voices on the cell phone
Voices from home
Voices of the hard sell
Voices down the stairwell
In New York, just got a place in New York

In New York summers get hot, well into the hundreds
You can't walk around the block without a change of clothing
Hot as a hairdryer in your face
Hot as a handbag and a can of mace
In New York, I just got a place in New York
New York, New York

In New York you can forget, forget how to sit still
Tell yourself you will stay in
But it's down to Alphaville

New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York

The Irish have been coming here for years
Feel like they own the place
They got the airport, city hall, concrete, asphalt, they even got the police
Irish, Italian, Jews and Hispanics
Religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew,
Living happily not like me and you
That's where I lost you... New York

New York, New York
New York, New York

In New York I lost it all to you and your vices
Still I'm staying on to figure out my mid life crisis
I hit an iceberg in my life
But you know I'm still afloat
You lose your balance, lose your wife
In the queue for the lifeboat

You got to put the women and children first
But you've got an unquenchable thirst for New York

New York, New York
New York, New York

In the stillness of the evening
When the sun has had its day
I heard your voice a-whispering
Come away child

New York, New York
