U2 - Stories For Boys

There's a place I go
When I am far away.
There's a T.V. show
And I can play.

Sometimes when a hero takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Oh, oh, oh.

There's a picture book
With colour photographs
There's a comic strip
That makes me laugh

Sometimes away he takes me
Sometimes I don't let go.

There's a place I go
And it's a part of me
There's a radio
And I will go

Sometimes a hero takes me
Sometimes I don't let go.

U2 - Saturday Night

He stood on his shadow

They always do

All he wanted was to spoil the view

Of people and places

Second-hand faces

He saw but never knew

Oh-ho-ho-ho

Look like a painting

A picture of you

Depending on your point of view

She laughed with the others

They call out her name

She smiled, she said

Goodbye

Oh-ho-ho-ho

Oh-ho-ho-ho

Oh… on a Saturday night

Oh… on a Saturday night

Oh… on a Saturday night

Oh… Saturday night

Saturday night

Saturday night

They met at a streetlight

Though she never knew

All he wanted was to spoil the view

And just for a second

It felt like a year

He waited for her second tear

Oh-ho-ho-ho

Oh-ho

Oh… on a Saturday night

Oh… on a Saturday night

Oh… on a Saturday night

Oh… on a Saturday night

Saturday night

Saturday night

You fly any higher

But you can’t let go

To save her in the fire

She wants to let go

Oh-ho-ho

Oh-ho-ho

Oh-ho-ho

Oh-ho-ho…

(Do I leave)

(The whole thing)

(Okay)

(Always a chord)

(Downtown)

Downtown

U2 - Shadows And Tall Trees

Back to the cold restless streets at night

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 street rain tragicomedy

I'll walk home again to the street melody.

But I know, oh no

But I know, oh no

But I know.

Shadows and tall trees

Shadows and tall trees

Shadows and tall trees

Shadows and tall trees.

Life through a window

Discoloured pain

Mrs Brown's washing is always the same

I walk the street rain tragicomedy

I'll walk home again to the street melody.

But I know, oh no

But I know, oh no

But I know.

Do you feel in me

Anything redeeming

Any worthwhile feeling?

Is love like a tightrope

Hanging on my ceiling?

But I know, oh no

But I know, oh no

But I know.

Shadows and tall trees

Shadows and tall trees

Shadows and tall trees

Shadows and tall trees.

Shadows, shadows, shadows.

Shadows, shadows, shadows.

Shadows and tall trees.

Shadows, shadows, shadows.

Shadows, shadows, shadows.

Shadows and tall trees.

U2 - Cry/The Electric Co. [Live, Paradise Theatre - March 1981]

Somebody cry, somebody cry, somebody cry
Somebody’s eye, somebody’s eye, somebody’s eye
Don’t you look back, don’t you look back, don’t you look back
Somebody cry, somebody cry, somebody cry
Well I can’t say why I’m waiting

Ooo-ooo, ooo-ooo

(Blood)

Boy, stupid boy
Don’t sit at the table
‘Til you’re able to
Toy, broken toy
Shout and shout
You’re inside out

If you don’t know
Electric co. / Electric Co
If you don’t know / Electric Co.
Electric co.
(Up)

Red, running red
Play for real
Toy could feel
Hole in your head
You go in shock
You’re spoon-fed

If you don’t know
Electric co. / Electric Co.
If you don’t know / Electric Co.
Electric co.
(Up)

Open

Open
Open
Yell out, come on
Uh, ow ow ow

If you don’t know
Electric co. / Electric Co.
If you don’t know / Electric Co.
Electric co.
But If you don’t know
Electric co. / Electric Co.
But If you don’t know / Electric Co.
Electric co.

Do you know
But you don’t save her
You yell out
You don’t save her

Oh no, yo-ho-ho
Oh no, yo-ho

And you know
And you know
I know
(I know)

U2 - Boy/Girl

Boy-girl, boy-girl

When a boy meets a girl

Boy-girl

Finding out

I'm finding out the things

That I've been talking about

I'm finding all the things

That I've been missing out

Finding all the things

I lose my mind

Sometimes fall behind

You and I we live on the big ship

And time goes by

You make up and I believe a lady's lie

The skinheads call it strawberries and cream

Sometimes I scream

Boy-girl, boy-girl

When a boy meets a girl

Boy-girl

We go out

A picture or a disco or a roundabout

I walk you home, I hold you there

You're giving out

I open doors so I can shut your face

Know your place

Boy-girl, boy-girl

When a boy meets a girl

Boy-girl

You can take me in your hand

Stand back, leave me, come in

Up and down and all around

You will sideways to the ground

Boy-girl, boy-girl

When a boy meets a girl

U2 - Things To Make And Do

...

U2 - I Will Follow

I was on the outside when you said
You needed me
I was looking at myself
I was blind, I could not see.

A boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by the hand
If he stops to think, he starts to cry
Oh why?

If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow.
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow.
I will follow.

I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found.

If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow.
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow.
I will follow.

Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I go in there
Your eyes, your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes.

If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow.
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow.
I will follow.

U2 - 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 frightens me, you know
The old man tried to walk me home
I thought he should have known.

Twilight, lost my way
Twilight, can't find my way.

In the shadow, boy meets man
In the shadow, boy meets man
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, it's everything
I'm soaking through the skin.

Twilight, darkened day
Twilight, lost my way
Twilight, night and day
Twilight, can't find my way.
Can't find your way
Can't find my way
Can't find your way.

Twilight, darkened day
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
In the shadow, boy meets man
In the shadow, boy meets man.

U2 - Touch

Thank-you, don't mention it.
I'm pleased to meet you.
I don't think I'm very good at this
Let me show you, I just wanna know, I just wanna know.

Falling, the world is by your side
Calling, to find a place to hide
I just wanna know
I just wanna know.

She said "The twenty second floor"
I said "I can't think what it's for"
And I just wanna know
I just wanna know.

Touching you, touching you, etc.

U2 - Out Of Control

Monday morning
Eighteen years dawning
I said how long.
Say how long.

It was one dull morning
I woke the world with bawling
I was so sad
They were so glad.

I had the feeling it was out of control
I was of the opinion it was out of control.

Boys and girls to school
And girls they make children
Not like this one.

I had the feeling it was out of control
I was of the opinion it was out of control.

I was of the feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of control.

I fought fate
There's blood at the garden gate
The man said childhood
It's in his childhood

One day I'll die
The choice will not be mine
Will it be too late?
You can't fight fate.

I had the feeling it was out of control
I was of the opinion it was out of control.

U2 - The Ocean

A picture in grey
Dorian Gray
Just me by the sea.

And I felt like a star
I felt the world could go far
If they listened to what I said.
The sea

Washes my feet
Washes my feet
Splashes the sole of my shoes.

U2 - 11 O'Clock Tick Tock

It's cold outside
It gets so hot in here
The boys and girls collide
To the music in my ear.

I hear the children crying
And I know it's time to go
I hear the children crying
Take me home.

A painted face
And I know we haven't long
We thought that we had the answers
It was the questions we had wrong.

I hear the children crying
And I know it's time to go
I hear the children crying
Take me home.

Say so, say so
Say so, say so.

U2 - An Cat Dubh / Into the Heart

Say goodnight
She waits for me to turn out the light
Really still
She waits to break my will.

Woah-oh
Yes, and I know the truth about you.
She cat.
And in the daylight
A blackbird makes a violent sight
And when she is done
She sleeps beside the one

Woah-oh-oh
Yes, and I know the truth about you
She cat.

Yes, and I know the truth about you
She cat.
/
Into the heart of a child
I stay awhile
But I can go there.

Into the heart of a child
I can smile
I can't go there.

Into the heart, into the heart of a child
I can't go back
I can't stay awhile.
Into the heart.

Into the heart.

U2 - The Electric Co.

Boy, stupid boy
Don't sit at the table
Until you're able to.

Toy, broken toy
Shout, shout, you're inside out
If you don't know.
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.

Red, running red
Play for real
Talk and feel
Holding your head
You won't shout
You still beg
If you don't know
The Electric Co.

If you don't know.
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.
