U2 - Treason

You come to me when your voice is a whisper
Come to me on the corner of a breeze
You come to me because you cannot have her
You come to me only when you’re on your knees

I was naked when and you clothed me
A slave and you stole me
From the ones that couldn’t hold me
Who took our freedom away

I was empty and you filled me
Made a friend of my enemy
I was there but you could see things I couldn’t see

If you love life
And you give love
There’s nothing you’ll be needing
But if you have love and don’t give love
This is treason

You come to me where the waves are crashing
You come to me on the swell of the sea
You come to me when lightning is flashing
In the static electricity

I was the sun and the rain to you
The one who gave a new name to you
I was a vision that came to you
Now you can’t even see
You were jumping now your landin’
You were kneeling now you’re standin’
I’m not a child to abandon
So don’t abandon me

If you love life
And you give love
There’s nothing you’ll be needing
But if you have love and don’t give love
This is treason

Has your heart stopped the beating
This is treason.

Shadow-man, I'll-cage-us-in-a-mansion-in-the-open-air,
I-don’t-wanna-make-you-wanna-rush-you, no, way, now
Take it all I’m running also wanna see you there
You wanna fake it never dance, soul, mash-up
Who’d, you, want, it, love, hard-to-get,
I want me a better silhouette

Kool aid, we’re sippin in the coal mine
Mine some soul we’re living off coal
Slipping on my manischewitz,
Slamming down the soul of it
You wanna drill it in Alaska ka ka…
You-wanna
Cup, cake, says I, don’t, know…
You feelin’, walls are like balsawood
Game, show, shake your finger
Day-Glo she’s a ringer
Feed my my my my my soul
World in a fever she’s got the glow.

If you love life
And you give love
There’s nothing you’ll be needing
But if you have love and you don’t give love
This is treason
This is treason

U2 - Miracle Drug

I want to trip inside your head
Spend the day there
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see

I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all?
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out

Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough I'm not giving up
On a miracle drug

Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit

I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space
And time, will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, a miracle drug, a miracle drug

God I need your help tonight

Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear a voice
It's whispering
In science and in medicine
I was a stranger
You took me in

The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've had enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, miracle drug

Miracle, miracle drug

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 - 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 - Babyface

Catching your bright blue eyes in the freeze frame
I've seen them so many times
I feel like I must be your best friend.
You're looking fine, so fine
Dressed up like a lovely day.

Babyface, Babyface
Slow down child, let me untie your lace.
Babyface, Babyface
Cover girl with natural grace.
How could beauty be so kind
To an ordinary guy?

Comin' home late at night to turn you on
Checkin' out every frame,
I've got slow motion on my side.
Turnin' around and around
With the sound and colour under my control
Round and around, goin' down,
Dressed up like a lovely day.

Babyface, Babyface
Slow down child, let me untie your lace
Babyface, Babyface
Tinfoil hair all tied up in lace
Babyface, Babyface
Bitter-sweet girl, won't you give me a taste
How could beauty be so kind
To an ordinary guy?

Babyface, Babyface
Slow down child, let me untie your lace.
Babyface, Babyface
Open that door, let me unpack my case.
Babyface, Babyface
You're everywhere, child, you're all over the place.
Babyface, Babyface
You're comin' to me from outer space.
How could beauty be so kind
To an ordinary guy?

U2 - 'Baby' 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 said, 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 get to carry each other
Carry each other
One…

Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers 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
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
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… (love)
One

Makin’ it, makin’ it, makin’ it
(Air, air, water)

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 - 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.

Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys.

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.

Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys.
Stories for boys.
Stories for boys.
Stories for boys.
Stories for boys.

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 - The Troubles (Alternative version)

You think it’s easier
To get your fingers… trouble
The trouble is you
You think it’s easier
To keep your head out of trouble
When the trouble is you…

I have a will for survival
So you can hurt me then
And hurt me some more
I can live with denial
But you’re not my troubles anymore

Somebody stop the world I’m on
Somebody stop the world I’m on
Somebody throw a line to me
Somebody tell me what to say

Somebody stop the world I’m on / I can’t wait any longer
Somebody stop the world I’m on / I can’t wait any longer
Somebody throw a line to me
Somebody tell me what to say

You think it’s easier
To give up on the trouble
The trouble is destroying you
You think it’s easier
To know your own tricks
Well it’s the hardest thing you’ll ever do

I have a will for survival
So you can hurt me then
And hurt me some more
I can live with denial
But you’re not my troubles anymore

Somebody stop the world I’m on
Somebody stop the world I’m on
Somebody throw a line to me
Somebody tell me what to say

Somebody stop the world I’m on / I can’t wait any longer
Somebody stop the world I’m on / I can’t wait any longer
Somebody throw a line to me
Somebody tell me what to say

I stepped outside like I had never seen the night before
Looking at the stars that never looked so bright before
This crooked heart it never felt so light before
A brand new man, a brand new man
Yes I am

Somebody stop the world I’m on
Somebody stop the world I’m on
Somebody throw a line to me
Somebody tell me what to say

Somebody stop the world I’m on / I can’t wait any longer
Somebody stop the world I’m on / I can’t wait any longer
Somebody throw a line to me
Somebody tell me what to say

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 - Zoo Station

I'm ready
Ready for the laughing gas
I'm ready
Ready for what's next
Ready to duck
Ready to dive
Ready to say
I'm glad to be alive
I'm ready
Ready for the push

In the cool of the night
In the warmth of the breeze
I'll be crawling around
On my hands and knees

She's just down the line ... Zoo Station
Got to make it on time ... Zoo Station

I'm ready
Ready for the gridlock
I'm ready
To take it to the street
Ready for the shuffle
Ready for the deal
Ready to let go
Of the steering wheel
I'm ready
Ready for the crush

Alright, alright, alright, alright, 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 is a train
Makes the future the past
Leaves you standing in the station
Your face pressed up against the glass

I'm just down the line from your love ... Zoo Station
Under the sign of your love ... Zoo Station
I'm gonna be there ... Zoo Station
Tracing the line ... Zoo Station
I'm gonna make it on time ... make it on time ... Zoo Station
Just two stops down the line ... Zoo Station
Just a stop down the line ... Zoo Station

U2 - Desire [Songs of Surrender version]

Lover, I'm off the streets
I'm gonna go where the bright lights
And the big city meet
With a red guitar, on fire
Desire.

She's the candle burnin' in my room
Yeah, I'm like the needle
The needle and spoon
Over the counter, with a shotgun
Pretty soon, everybody's got one
I'm in a fever, when I'm beside her
Desire
Desire.

And the fever, gettin' higher
Desire
Desire.
(Burning, burning).

She's the dollars
She's my protection
Yeah, she's the promise
In the year of election.
Sister I can't let you go
Like a preacher stealin' hearts at a travellin' show
For love or money, money, money... ?
And the fever, gettin' higher.
Desire.

U2 - Wire

Innocent, and in a sense 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

Cold these eyes, I can't believe it
Cold, this heart is slow
Heart is stone

Call me
Such a cold heart
Such a cold man
Watch you tear your self apart

So lay me down
My soul to give
So lay me down
The longest sleep
Oh, the longest sleep

In I come and out you go you get
Here we are again now, place your bets
Is this the time
The time to win or lose
Is this the time
The time to choose

Cold these eyes, I can't believe it
So deep inside a cold fire
Cold, this heart is slow...
Heart is stone

Any time your on there
(Kiss me...)
Won't you tell me
That's it just give me it

In some white track
You come right back
Cartoon cutout
Cut throat let out
I'm on your side
Be on the both side
I'm on right track
You get off my back
I'm no dope
I give you hope
Here's the rope Here's the rope Now...swing away

U2 - City Of Blinding Lights [Songs of Surrender version]

The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now

Neon heart dayglo eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
For people like us

And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground.

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Don't look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can't see

I've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me

And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Time

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 - One [Songs of Surrender version]

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 get to carry each other, carry each other... one

Have you come here for forgiveness,
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers 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, then we do it again.

You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law.
You ask me to enter, but 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 and brothers.

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...
