U2 - Stranger In A Strange Land

Stranger, stranger in a strange land.
He looked at me like I was the one who should run.

We asked him to smile for a photograph
Waited a while to see if we could make him laugh.

The soldier asked for a cigarette
His smiling face I can't forget.
He looked at me across the street
But that's a long way here.

Oh, and I wish you were here.
Oh, and I wish you were here.

Stranger, stranger in a strange land.
He looked at me like I was the one who should run.

I watched as he watched us get back on the bus
I watched the way it was
The way it was when he was with us
And I really don't mind sleeping on the floor
But I couldn't sleep after what I saw
I wrote this letter to tell you the way I feel.

Oh I wish you were here
Oh I wish you were here
To see what I could see
To hear
And I wish you were here.

U2 - I Threw A Brick Through A Window [Richard Skinner BBC Session - September 1981]

I was talking
I was talking to myself
Somebody else
Talk, talk, talking
I couldn’t hear a word
A word he said

He was my brother, brother
I said there was no other way out of here
Be my brother, brother
I gotta get out, I gotta get out

I was walking
I was walking into walls
And back again
I just keep walking
I walked up to a window
To see myself

In my reflection
And when I thought about it
My direction
You’re going nowhere, going nowhere
Anywhere’s better than this

No one
No, no one is blinder
Than he
Who will not see

I was talking
I was talking in my sleep
Oh I can’t stop
Talk, talk, talking
I’m talking to you
Oh it’s up to you

To be my brother, brother
There is another way out of here
Be my brother, brother
I gotta get out, gotta get out
Out of

U2 - With A Shout

Oh, 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 looking at each other.
But we're going back there?

Jerusalem
Jerusalem

Shout, shout, with a shout
Shout it out, shout
Shout it out.

I want to go, to the foot of Mount Zion
To the foot of He who made me see
To the side of a hill blood was spilt
We were filled with a love
And we're going to be there again

Jerusalem
Jerusalem

Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Jerusalem

Shout, shout, with a shout
Shout, with a shout.

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.

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 - I Fall Down

Julie says, John I'm getting nowhere
I wrote this letter, hope to get someplace soon
I want to get up
When I wake up
But when I get up
I fall down.

Julie wake up, Julie tell the story
You wrote the letter, said you were gonna
Get there someday
Gonna walk in the sun
And the wind and the rain
Never look back again
Now you fall down
You're falling down
You fall down
You fall down.

You're falling down
You fall down
You fall down.

Julie say something, Julie say you're sorry
You're gonna get better, you better not
Leave me here anyway
I want to get up, when you wake up
But when I get up
I fall down
I'm falling down
I fall down
I broke myself.

I fall, I fall down
I'm falling down
I fall down
When you fall
I fall with you
And when you're falling down
Is when I hit the ground.
I fall with you
I fall down.

U2 - Gloria

I try to sing this song
I, I try to stand up
But I can't find my feet.
I, I try to speak up
But only in you I'm complete.

Gloria
In te domine
Gloria
Exultate
Gloria
Gloria
Oh, Lord, loosen my lips.

I try to sing this song
I, I try to get in
But I can't find the door
The door is open
You're standing there, you let me in.

Gloria
In te domine
Gloria
Exultate
Oh, Lord, if I had anything, anything at all
I'd give it to you.

Gloria
In te domine
Gloria
Gloria

U2 - J. Swallow

Johnny Swallo
Stop watching
I take you by the hand

Stop inside
Paul and me
We walk by

Walking silent
I saw
It was burning

Village
On fire
Was a village on fire

U2 - Fire

Calling, calling the sun is burning black
Calling, calling, it's beating on my back
With a fire
With a fire.

Calling, calling, the moon is running red
Calling, calling, it's pulling me instead
With a fire, fire.

But there's a fire inside
And I'm falling over
There's a fire in me
When I call out
You built a fire, fire
I'm going home.

Calling, calling, the stars are falling down
Calling, calling, they knock me to the ground
With a fire, fire.

But there's a fire inside
And I'm falling over
There's a fire inside
When I call out
There's a fire inside
When I'm falling over
You built a fire, fire
I'm going home.

U2 - Rejoice

It's falling, it's falling
And outside a building comes tumbling down.
And inside a child on the ground
Says he'll do it again.

And what am I to do?
What in the world am I to say?
There's nothing else to do.
He says he'll change the world some day
I rejoice.

This morning I fell out of bed
When I woke up to what he had said
Everything's crazy but I'm too lazy to lie.

And what am I to do?
Just tell me what am I supposed to say?
I can't change the world
But I can change the world in me
Rejoice.
Rejoice.

And what am I to do?
Just tell me what am I supposed to say?
I can't change the world
But I can change the world in me.

I rejoice.

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 - A celebration

I gotta go!
I believe in a celebration
I believe we can be free.
I believe you can loose these chains
I believe you can dance with me, dance with me.
Shake! Shake!
Shake! Shake!

I believe in the Third World War
I believe in the atomic bomb.
I believe in the powers-that-be
But they won't overpower me.

And you can go there too,
And you can go, go, go, go!
Shake! Shake!
Shake! Shake!

And we don't have the time
And everything goes round and round
And we don't have the time
To watch the world go tumbling down.

I believe in the bells of Christchurch
Ringing for this land.
I believe in the cells of Mountjoy
There's an honest man.

And you can go there too, etc.

I believe in the walls of Jericho
I believe they're coming down.
I believe in this city's children
I believe the trumpet's sound.

And you can go there too, etc.

U2 - 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.

U2 - Scarlet

Rejoice
Rejoice
Rejoice

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 - Trash, Trampoline And The Party Girl

I know a girl
A girl called Party, Party Girl
I know she wants more than a party, Party Girl
And she won't tell me her name

I know a boy
A boy called Trash, Trash Can
I know he does all that he can, wham bam
And she won't tell me his name

When I was three
I thought the world revolved around me
I was wrong
But you can sing, sing along
And if you dance
Then dance with me

I know a girl
A girl called Party, Party Girl
I know she wants more than a party, Party Girl

I know a boy
A boy called Trampoline
You know what I mean
I think you know what he wants
I think he knows what he wants
I think he knows what he wants.

U2 - I Threw A Brick Through A Window

I was talking, I was talking to myself
Somebody else talk, talk, talking.
I couldn't hear a word, a word he said.

He was my brother
I said there was no other way out of here
Be my brother
(Brother).
Got to get out, got to get out.

I was walking, I was walking into walls
And back again
I just keep walking
I walk up to 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
Than he who will not see.
No-one, no-one is blinder
Than me.

I was talking, I was talking in my sleep
I can't stop talk, talk, talking
I'm talking to you, it's up to you
Be my brother, there is no other way out of here
Be my brother
Got to get out, got to get out
Got to get out of here.

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.
