U2 with Soweto Gospel Choir - Where The Streets Have No Name [Live]

I wanna run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls
That hold me inside.
I wanna reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name.

I wanna feel sunlight on my face.
I see the dust-cloud
Disappear without a trace.
I wanna 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 and burning down love
Burning down love.
And when I go there
I go there with you
(It's all I can do).

The city's 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.

We're still building and burning down love
Burning down love.
And when I go there
I go there with you
(It's all I can do).

U2 - With Or Without You [Songs Of Surrender version]

See the stone set in your eyes
Am I such a thorn in your side
Should I wait for you
Sleight of hand and a twist of fate
On a bed of nails you make me wait
Without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
We give it all but I want more
And I’m greedy for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live with or without you

And you give yourself away
You give yourself away
And you give, you give
You give yourself away

My hands are tied, my body bruised
You’ve got me with nothing to win
And nothing left to lose

You give yourself away
You give yourself away
You give
You give
You give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you

I can’t live
With or without you

With or without you

U2 - Race Against Time

Race against time…
Race against time…

U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name [Songs Of Surrender version]

I wanna run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls
That hold me inside
Show me a place
High on a desert plane
Where the streets have no name

I wanted to feel sunlight on my face
But I need some shade and shelter
In this waterless place
where each desert rose is a prayer for rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name

We’re still building and burning down love
Burning down love
Can get through the fire
If I go with you
There’s no other way through

The city’s a flood, and our love turns to rust
We’re beaten and blown by the wind
We labour and lust
Your voice is a whisper in the hurricane
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name

We’re still building and burning down love
Burning down love
Can get through the fire
If I go with you
There’s no other way through

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We’re building and burning down love
Burning down love
Can get through the fire
If I go with you
There’s no other way through.

U2 - Running To Stand Still [Daniel Lanois Remix]

And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was lyin' still.
Said I gotta do something
About where we're goin'.

Step on a fast train
Step out of the driving rain, maybe
Run from the darkness in the night.
Singing ah, ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day.

Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth.
I see seven towers, but I only see one way out.
You gotta 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
Ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day.

She walks through the streets
With her eyes painted red
Under black belly of cloud in the rain.
In through a doorway
She brings me white golden pearls
Stolen from the sea.

She is ragin'
She is ragin'
And the storm blows up in her eyes.
She will suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand still.

U2 - Red Hill Mining Town

From father to son
The blood runs thin
Ooh, see the faces frozen (still)
Against the wind.

The seam is split
The coal-face cracked
The lines are long
There's no going back.

Through hands of steel
And heart of stone
Our labour day
Has come and gone.

They leave me holdin' on
In Red Hill Town.
See the lights go down on ...

Hangin' on
You're all that's left to hold on to.
I'm still waiting
I'm hangin' 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.

Yeah, you keep me holdin' on
In Red Hill Town.
See the lights go down on

Hangin' on
You're all that's left to hold on to.
I'm still waiting
I'm hangin' on
You're all that's left to hold on to
On to.

We scorch the earth
Set fire to the sky
And we stooped so low
To reach so high.

A link is lost
The chain undone.
We wait all day
For night to come
And it comes like a hunter (child).

I'm hangin' on
You're all that's left to hold on to.
I'm still waiting
I'm hangin' on
You're all that's left to hold on to.

We see love, slowly stripped away
Our love has seen its better day.
Hangin' on
Lights go down on Red Hill
The lights go down on Red Hill.
The lights go down on Red Hill.
The lights go down on Red Hill Town..

U2 - Walk To The Water

She said it wasn't cold
She left her coat unbuttoned
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 to me'

She took the back way home
Past the lights at Summerhill
Turn left on to the north strand
And on
On 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
And like a field of corn
You were blown by the wind
You were blown by the wind

Walk, walk, walk to the water
Walk with me awhile
Walk, walk, walk to the roadside
walk with me in a light

A room in the Royal hotel
With sea facing views
A man with a suitcase
Full of things he doesn't need
I'm looking through your window
I'm walking through your doorway
I'm on the outside
Let me in

Let me love you
Let me love you
Let me

Walk, walk, walk to the water
Walk with me
Walk, walk, walk to the roadside
walk with me a while

U2 - Spanish Eyes

Wey, hey, baby hang on

Wey, hey, baby hang on

Hang to your heartbeat, tight as a drum

Hang on to your love, see it shines like a song

Wey. hey, hey, baby hang on

Our love shines like rain

In those spanish eyes

Wey, hey, hey, here she comes

Comes in colours, now she's gonna turn the daylight on

'Cause I love the way you talk to me

And I love the way you walk on me

And I need you more than you need me (yeah)

Our love shines like rain in those spanish eyes

I'll cross the world for green and gold

But, it's those spanish eyes that get me home

Home again

Wey, hey, hey, sugar hang on

Wey, hey, hey, you know that the night is as young

I'm dazzled by a light that shines in your eyes

I'm used to standing in the shadows and waiting for the night

Forever in fever, forever in heat

You re-invented me, now don't put me back on the street

Wey, hey, hey, baby hang on

Wey, hey, hey, baby hang on

'Cause I love the way you talk to me

And I mean the things you mean to me

I need you

U2 - One Tree Hill (St Francis Hotel Remix)

Like the river… sea

Like the river… to the sea

We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill

As day begs the night for mercy love

The sun so bright it leaves no shadows

Only scars carved into stone

On the face of earth

You run like a river runs to the sea

You run like a river runs to the sea

And in the world a heart of darkness

A fire zone

Where poets speak their heart

Then bleed for it

Jara sang, his song a weapon / (It’s cold) (it’s cold) (it’s cold)

In the hands of love / (It’s cold)

Though his blood still cries

From the ground

It runs like a river runs to the sea / Like a river… sea

It runs like a river runs to the sea / Like a river… sea

Like a river… sea

U2 - Sweetest Thing (Single mix)

My love, she throws me like a rubber ball

(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

But she won't catch me or break my fall.

(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

Baby's got blue skies up ahead

But in this, I'm a raincloud

You know she wants a dry kind of love.

(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

I'm losin' you, I'm losin' you

Ain't love the sweetest thing?

I wanted to run, but she made me crawl

(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

Eternal fire, she turned me to straw.

(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

I know I got black eyes

But they burn so brightly for her

I guess it's a blind kind of love.

(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

I'm losin' you, I'm losin' you

Ain't love the sweetest thing?

Ain't love the sweetest thing?

Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl.

(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

You can sew it up, but you still see the tear.

(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

Baby's got blue skies up ahead

But in this, I'm a rain-cloud,

Ours is a stormy kind of love.

(Oh, the sweetest thing.)

U2 - Silver And Gold

In the shithouse a shotgun
Praying hands hold me down.
If only the hunter was hunted
In this tin can town, tin can town.
No stars in the black night
Looks like the sky fall down.
No sun in the daylight
Looks like it's chained to the ground, chained to the ground.

The warden says "The exodus sold."
If you want a way out...
Silver and gold, silver and gold.

Broken back to the ceiling
Broken nose to the floor.
I scream at the silence
It's crawling, crawls under the door.
There's a rope around my neck
And there's a trigger in your gun.
Jesus, say something!
I am someone, I am someone.

Captains and Kings in the ship's hold
They came to collect
Silver and gold, silver and gold.

I seen the coming and the going
Seen the captains and the Kings.
Seen their navy blue uniforms
Seen them bright and shiny things, bright and shiny things.

The temperature is rising
The fever white hot
Mister I ain't got nothing
But it's more than 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
You can stop the world from turning around
You just gotta pay a penny in the pound.

U2 - With Or Without You (Daniel Lanois Remix)

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side.
I wait for you.
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you.

Through the storm, we reach the shore
You gave it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you.
I can't live with or without you.

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.

My hands are tied, my body bruised
She got me with nothing to win
And nothing else to lose.

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you.

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you.

U2 - Beautiful Ghost / Introduction To Songs Of Experience

Hear the voice of the Bard

Who present, past, and future, sees

Whose ears have heard

The Holy Word

That walk’d among the ancient trees

Calling the lapsed soul

And weeping in the evening dew

That might control

The starry pole

And fallen, fallen light renew

‘O Earth, O Earth, return

Arise from out the dewy grass

Night is worn

And the morn

Rises from the slumbrous mass

Turn away no more

Why wilt thou turn away

The starry floor

The watery shore

Is given thee till the break of day

Till the break of day

Till the break of day

Till the break of day

Till the break of day

U2 with Allen Ginsberg - Drunk Chicken / America

America I've given you all and now I'm nothing.
America two dollars and twenty-seven cents January 17, 1956.
I can't stand my own mind.
America when will we end the human war?
Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb
I don't feel good don't bother me.
I won't write my poem till I'm in my right mind.
America when will you be angelic?
When will you take off your clothes?
When will you look at yourself through the grave?
When will you be worthy of your million Trotskyites?
America why are your libraries full of tears?
America when will you send your eggs to India?
I'm sick of your insane demands.
When can I go into the supermarket and buy what I need with my good looks?
America after all it is you and I who are perfect not the next world.
Your machinery is too much for me.
You made me want to be a saint.
There must be some other way to settle this argument.
Burroughs is in Tangiers I don't think he'll come back it's sinister.
Are you being sinister or is this some form of practical joke?
I'm trying to come to the point.
I refuse to give up my obsession.
America stop pushing I know what I'm doing.
America the plum blossoms are falling.
I haven't read the newspapers for months, everyday somebody goes on trial for murder.

U2 - Bullet The Blue Sky

In the howlin' wind

Comes a stingin' rain

See it drivin' nails

Into the souls on the tree of pain.

From the firefly

A red orange glow

See the face of fear

Runnin' scared in the valley below.

Bullet the blue sky

Bullet the blue sky

Bullet the blue

Bullet the blue.

In the locust wind

Comes a rattle and hum.

Jacob wrestled the angel

And the angel was overcome.

You plant a demon seed

You raise a flower of fire.

We see them burnin' crosses

See the flames, higher and higher.

Woh, woh, 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 peelin' off those dollar bills

(Slappin' 'em down)

One hundred, two hundred.

And I can see those fighter planes

And I can see those fighter planes

Across the tin huts as children sleep

Through the alleys of a quiet city street.

Up the staircase to the first floor

We turn the key and slowly unlock the door

As a man breathes into his saxophone

And through the walls you hear the city groan.

Outside, is America

Outside, is America

America.

See across the field

See the sky ripped open

See the rain comin' through the gapin' wound

Howlin' the women and children

Who run into the arms

Of America.

U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name (Flood Remix)

All I can do

Our love turns to rust

We’re beaten and blown by the wind

Blown by the wind

Oh, and I see our love

Our love turns to rust

Ah, we’re beaten and blown by the wind

Blown by the wind…

(Outside it’s America)

(Outside it’s America)

(Outside it’s America)

(Outside it’s America)

(Outside it’s America)

I wanna run, I want to hide

I wanna tear down the walls that hold me inside

I wanna take shelter from the poison rain

Where the streets have no name, ha ha ha

The city’s aflood

And our love turns to rust

We’re beaten and blown by the wind

Trampled in dust

I’ll show you this place

High on a desert plain

Where the streets have no face, oh-ha

Where the streets have no love

Where the streets have no name

We’re still building the burning down our love

Burning down love

And when I go there

I go there with you

Where the streets have no love

…dust on my face…the dust cloud disappear without a trace

I wanna reach out and touch the flame…yeah

Where the streets hace no face, un-huh

Where the streets have no love

Where the streets have no name

We’re still building the burning down love

Burning down love

And when I go there, I go there with you

It’s all I can do

Our love turns to rust

Ah, we’re beaten and blown by the wind

Blown by the wind

Oh stay here, oh-oh stay

Oh new moon in your eyes

A new love in your face

Oh when I go there

I go there with you

It’s all I can do

U2 - 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
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 finger tips
It burned like fire
(I was) burning inside her.

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in 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
Bleed into one.
But yes, I'm still running.

You broke the bonds
And you loosed the chains
Carried the cross of my shame
Oh 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.

But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for.
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for.

U2 - 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 heartbeats
We hear their heartbeats.

In the trees our sons stand naked
Through the walls our daughter cry
See their tears in the rainfall.

U2 - Running To Stand Still

And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was lyin' still.
Said I gotta do something
About where we're goin'.

Step on a fast train
Step out of the driving rain, maybe
Run from the darkness in the night.
Singing ah, ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day.

Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth.
I see seven towers, but I only see one way out.
You gotta 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
Ah la la la de day
Ah la la la de day.

She walks through the streets
With her eyes painted red
Under black belly of cloud in the rain.
In through a doorway
She brings me white golden pearls
Stolen from the sea.

She is ragin'
She is ragin'
And the storm blows up in her eyes.
She will suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand still.
