U2 - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own [Songs Of Surrender version]

Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I, that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need, I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me - when - I -
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me

Well hey now
Still gotta let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone...

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

U2 - Yahweh [Alternate Version]

Take these shoes
Click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes
And make them fit
Take this shirt
Polyester white trash made in nowhere
Take this shirt
And make it clean
Take this soul
Stranded in some skin and bones
Take this soul
And make it sing, sing

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I’m waiting for the dawn

Take these hands
And teach them what to carry
Take these hands
Don’t make a fist, no
Take this mouth
So quick to criticise
Take this mouth
Give it a kiss

Yahweh, Yahweh
Oh the pain before the child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I’m waiting for the dawn
I’m still waiting…
I’m still waiting for the dawn

Take these blue eyes…
Take these blue eyes…
Take these eyes and make them see
Love is just a drop in the ocean
This love is just a drop in the ocean
Love is just a drop in the ocean

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, yah waiting for me?
Still I’m waiting for the dawn

Take this city
A city should be shining on a hill
Take this city
If it be your will
What no man can own, no man can take
Take this heart
Take this heart
Take this heart
And make it break

U2 - Native Son

Yeah its on the street
It’s under your feet
It’s everywhere
But if you’re looking for free
Don’t look at me
My enemy became my country

On the run, officer put down the gun
Native son, I never wanted to own one
Native son, both of us want to be someone
It’s so hard, is it so hard for a native son
To be free?

Tears fallen from the sky
Fallen to the ground
Bullets start to fly
He’s hurt, he’s in the dirt
On my word
I did not take his life

Don’t want to run away
This isn’t in my father’s plans
I know I can’t stay
If I stay I know what’s next

On the run, officer put down the gun
Native son, I never wanted to own one
Native son, both of us want to be someone
It’s so hard, is it so hard for a native son
To be free?

Free

Free

On the run, officer put down the gun
Native son, I never wanted to own one
Native son, both of us want to be someone
It’s so hard, is it so hard for a native son
To be free?
Free
Free

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 - Xanax And Wine

My cell is ringing, no ID

I want to know who’s calling

My garden’s overgrown

I go out on my belly crawling / (he’s crawling)

I got CCTV, pornography, CNBC

I got the nightly news

To get to know the enemy

All I want is a picture of you

All I want is to get right next to you

All I want is a picture in a locket

Your face in my pocket

I take a pill to stop it

Save me, save me from myself

I know that you’ve been good to me

Now I need you not to be

Wake me, I feel like I’ve been asleep

I’m buying things I can’t afford

I’m on a high diving board

Oh it’s you that’s keeping me dry

Xanax and wine

I’m going nowhere

Where I am it is a lot of fun

They’re in the desert to dismantle an atomic bomb

I watch ‘em shadow box

Check the stocks, I’m in detox

Want the lot of what you’ve got

If what you’ve got can make this stop

All I want is a picture of you

All I want is to get right next to you

All I want is your picture in a locket

Your face in my pocket

I take a pill to stop it

Save me, save me from myself

I know that you’ve been good to me

Now I need you not to be

Wake me, I feel like I’ve been asleep

Try not to look so bored

You’re buying things you can’t afford

I got yours and I know you want mine

Xanax and wine

Don’t you worry ‘bout your mind

Thing is I worry all the time

Don’t you worry you’ll be fine

You should worry about the day

That the pain it goes away

You know I miss mine sometimes

There is no fiction

That will truly fit the situation

I’m documenting every detail

Every conversation

I’m not used to talking to somebody in their body

It’s somebody in a body, it’s somebody in a body

In a body there’s somebody

Somebody in a body

Somebody, somebody, somebody

It’s somebody… in a body

Somebody… in a body

It’s somebody… in a body

There’s somebody…

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 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 - 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 - Jesus Christ

One, two, three, four

Well Jesus was a man

Who traveled through the land

A hard working man and brave

Well he said to the rich ‘Give your money to the poor’

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

Halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

Halle, halelujah

For they laid Jesus Christ is his grave

Well he went to the preacher

He went to the law

And told them all the same

He said sell all your jewelry and give it to the poor

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

Halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

When Jesus came to town all the working folks around

Believed what he did say

Well the bankers and the preachers

They nailed him on a cross

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

And [hard] working people

They followed him around

They sung and shouted gay

Well the cops and the soldiers

They nailed him in the head

And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

Oh, halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

Hale, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

Well this song was written in New York City

A rich man, preacher and slave

Well if Jesus was to preach what he preached in Galilee

They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave

One, two, three, four!

Halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

Halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

Halle, hallelujah

For they laid Jesus Christ in his grave

(Amen) / Yeah yeah

(originally recorded by Woodie Guthrie)

U2 - Smile

Gravity, is not pulling me
I won’t be a picture with no sign
Decaying, I’m praying
You are my air but
I need the ground to kneel upon
And love can’t be a song
I don’t want to see you smile

I’m breaking it, taking it
I’m breaking it slowly in mind
I’m seeing it, freeing it
I know love is in this soul of mine
It’s not in your eyes
I don’t want…
I don’t want to see you smile

I started, light-hearted
It won’t be easy like you said
I’m going, flowing
I’m leaving on the day of the dead
I will live again
You will live again
I don’t want to see you smile

God knows it, knows me
Knows me, knows me
You sing, hear me love
Say it again, burnt out blind
The smoke machine is yours not mine
I don’t want to see you smile

I will live again
You will live again
I just don’t want to see you smile

U2 - Night and Day [Steel String Remix]

The tom-tom when the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the eye of the clock
You're standing up against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower's through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you you

Night and day you are the one
Only you beneath the moon and under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, baby, where you are
I think of you night and day

Day and night, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you, night and day

Night and day under the hide of me
There's an, oh, such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day

Night and day

Night and day under the hide of me
Oh such a hungry yearning burning
Burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day

Night and day, night and day
Night and day
Night, night, night and day
Night, night, night and day
Night and day, night
Night and day, night and day
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
How I miss you baby
Sing it
Night and day

U2 - Stateless

I've got no home in this world
Just gravity, luck, and time
I've got no home in this world
Just you and you are not mine

Stateless
Weightless
Stateless

Such a girl

There are no colors in your eye
There's no sunshine in your sky
There's no race, only the prize
There is no tomorrow, only tonight

Stateless
It's the difference

You can cover a world with your thumb
Still so big, so bright, so beautiful

Weightless
Stateless

Push down on me
Push down on me
A weight now
A weight down on me
Your weight down
Be the weight, hard
Down on me
Be the heavy hand
The wall of sand
Be the weight, hard
Down on me

Stateless
Weightless
Hateless

U2 - Yahweh

Take these shoes
Click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes
And make them fit
Take this shirt
Polyester white trash made in nowhere
Take this shirt
And make it clean, clean
Take this soul
Stranded in some skin and bones
Take this soul
And make it sing

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn

Take these hands
Teach them what to carry
Take these hands
Don't make a fist
Take this mouth
So quick to criticise
Take this mouth
Give it a kiss

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahewh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn

Still waiting for the dawn, the sun is coming up
The sun is coming up on the ocean
This love is like a drop in the ocean
This love is like a drop in the ocean

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, tell me now
Why the dark before the dawn?

Take this city
A city should be shining on a hill
Take this city

What no man can own, no man can take
Take this heart
Take this heart
Take this heart

U2 - Christmas (Baby please come home)

It's Christmas
Baby, please come home

(Yeah!)

The snow's coming down
I'm watching it fall
Watching the people around
Baby please come home

The church bells in town
They're ringing a song
What a happy sound
Baby please come home

They're singing deck the halls
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

Pretty lights on the tree
I'm watching 'em shine
You should be here with me
Baby please come home

Baby please come home
Baby please come home

They're singing deck the halls
But it's not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

If there was a way
I'd hold back these tears
But it's Christmas day
Baby please come home
Ohh...

Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Ohh...
Baby please come home
Baby please come home

Like the drip drip drip of the rain drops
When the sun shines through
So a voice within me
Keeps revealing you

Night and day
You are the one
Only you beneath the moon

Whether near to me or far

Day and night
Why is it so?
That this longing for you follows
Wherever I go
In the roaring traffic gloom
In the silence of my lonely room

Though such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me
This torment won't be through
'Til you let me spend my life

Oh, such a hungry yearning
Burning, burning inside of me

U2 - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own

Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I, that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need, I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me - when - I -
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me

Where are we now?
I've got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone...

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
