Текст песни:

Staring at the Sun

Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me
Over me and over you
Stuck together with God′s glue
It′s going to get stickier too
It′s been a long hot summer
Let′s get under cover
Don′t try too hard to think
Don′t think at all
I′m not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you′d find
If you took a look inside
I′m not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who′s happy to go blind
There′s an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won′t disappear
It′s going to itch and burn and sting
You want to see what the scratching brings
Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace
′Cause those that can′t do
Often have to
And those that can′t do
Often have to preach
To the ones
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you′ll find
If you took a look inside
Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
I′m not the only one
Who′d rather go blind
Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won′t say goodbye
Referee won′t blow the whistle
God is good but willHe listenI′m nearly great
But there′s something missing
I left it in the duty free
But you never really belonged to me
You′re not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you′d find
If you stepped back inside
I′m not sucking on my thumb
I′m staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who′s happy to go blind

Текст песни:

Tell me the perfect color
Show me the ways and numbers
Don′t give it away
What′s the certainty?

There′s a known complication
I don′t want to know
Where does it go nobody knows
Nobody knows, nobody knows

There′s a long conversation
Hitting deep within your bosom
And you′ve held onto nothing
For way too long

There are words long unspoken
And a heart which hasn′t broken
But the time keeps on growing on and on
On and on, on and on

See what you need
Then you′ll see there′s no other way to be
Take your time, don′t be shy
It′s your time to shine

Tell me the perfect color
Show me the ways and numbers
Tell me the thoughts you think of
Show me the constellation

Don′t give it away
Don′t give it away
Don′t give it away
Don′t give it away

Текст песни:

It was a cold and wet December day
When we touched the ground at JFK
Snow was melting on the ground
On BLS I heard the sound
Of an angel

New York, like a Christmas tree
Tonight this city belongs to me
Angel

Soul love...this love won′t let me go
So long...Angel of Harlem

Birdland on fifty-three
The street sounds like a symphony
We got John Coltrane and a love supreme
Miles says she′s got to be an angel

Lady Day got diamond eyes
She sees the truth behind the lies
Angel

Soul love...this love won′t let me go
So long...Angel of Harlem
Angel of Harlem

She says it′s heart...heart and soul...
Yeah yeah...(yeah)
Yeah yeah...(right now)

Blue light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
An empty glass, the lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
Blinded you lost your way
Through the side streets and the alleyway
Like a star exploding in the night
Falling to the city in broad daylight
An angel in Devil′s shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an angel
Yeah yeah...Angel of Harlem

Angel...Angel of Harlem...
[Repeat and fade]

Текст песни:

Monday morning
Eighteen years of dawning
I say how long
You say how long

It was one dull morning
Woke the world with bawling
I was so sad (so sad)
It was so bad

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

Boys and Girls
Go to the school and girls
They make children
Not like this one

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

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

(Out of control)

I fought fate
There′s blood on 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 it

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

Текст песни:

Yesterday I spent asleep
Woke up in my clothes in a dirty heap
Spent the night trying to make a deadline
Squeezing complicated lives into a simple headline

I have your face here in an old Polaroid
Tidying the children’s clothes and toys
You’re smiling back at me, I took the photo from the fridge
Can’t remember what then we did

I haven’t been with a woman, it feels like for years
Thought of you the whole time, your salty tears
This shitty world sometimes produces a rose
The scent of it lingers and then it just goes

Return the call to home

The worst of us are a long drawn out confession
The best of us are geniuses of compression
You say you’re not going to leave the truth alone
I’m here ‘cos I don’t want to go home

Child drinking dirty water from the river bank
Soldier brings oranges he got out from a tank
I’m waiting on the waiter, he’s taking a while to come
Watching the sun go down on Lebanon

Return the call to home

Now I’ve got a head like a lit cigarette
Unholy clouds reflecting in a minaret
You’re so high above me, higher than everyone
Where are you in the Cedars of Lebanon?

Choose your enemies carefully ‘cos they will define you
Make them interesting ‘cos in some ways they will mind you
They’re not there in the beginning but when your story ends
Gonna last with you longer than your friend

Текст песни:

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come, he to justify
One man to overthrow

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love

One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love

(nobody like you...)

Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love...

Текст песни:

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, day-glow eyes
The city lit by fireflies
They′re advertising in the skies
And people like us

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

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′ve 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

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

Time...time...time...time...time won′t leave me as I am
But time won′t take the boy out of this man
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight

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

The more you know the less you feel
Some pray for, others steal
Blessings not just for the ones who kneel
Luckily

Текст песни:

Green light, Seven Eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don′t smoke, don′t even want to
Hey now, check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
Your wheels are turning but you′re upside down
You say when he hits you, you don′t mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Hey babe, is that what it is

Red lights, gray morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depend′s on who′s around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk shows

And if you look, you look through me
And when you talk, you talk at me
And when I touch you, you don′t feel a thing

If I could stay...
Then the night would give you up
Stay...and the day would keep its trust
Stay...and the night would be enough

Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio
With satelite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans
London, Belfast and Berlin

And if you listen I can′t call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout, I′ll only hear you

If I could stay...
Then the night would give you up
Stay...then the day would keep its trust
Stay...with the demons you drowned
Stay...with the spirit I found
Stay...and the night would be enough

Three o′clock in the morning
It′s quiet and there′s no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground

Just the bang
And the clatter
As an angel
Hits the ground

Текст песни:

(Yeah)

Lover, I′m on the street
Gonna go where the bright lights
And the big city meet
With a red guitar...on fire
Desire

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

And the fever...getting higher
Desire, desire...burning, burning

She′s the dollars
She′s my protection
Yeah she′s a promise
In the year of election
Oh sister, I can′t let you go
Like a preacher stealing hearts
At a traveling show
For love or money money money
money money money money money
money money money
And the fever, getting higher
Desire, desire, desire, desire
Desire, desire

Текст песни:

Love love love love love…
Love love love love love…

I got to stand up and take a step
You and I have been asleep for hours
I got to stand up
The wire is stretched in between our two towers
Stand up in this dizzy world
Where a lovesick eye can steal the view
I’m gonna fall down if I can’t stand up
For your love

Love love love love love…

Stand up, this is comedy
The DNA lottery may have left you smart
But can you stand up to beauty, dictator of the heart
I can stand up for hope, faith, love
But while I’m getting over certainty
Stop helping God across the road like a little old lady

Out from under your beds
C’mon ye people
Stand up for your love

Love love love love love…

I gotta stand up to ego but my ego’s not really the enemy
It’s like a small child crossing an eight lane highway
On a voyage of discovery

Stand up to rock stars, Napolean is in high heels
Josephine, be careful of small men with big ideas

Out from under your beds
C’mon ye people
Stand up for your love

Love love love love love…

God is love
And love is evolution’s very best day

Soul rockin’ people moving on
Soul rockin’ people on and on
C’mon ye people
We’re made of stars
C’mon ye people
Stand up then sit down for your love

Love love love love love…

@ U2

Текст песни:

Take these hands they′re good for nothing
You know these hands never worked a day
Take these boots they′re going nowhere
You know these boots don′t want to stray

You got my head filled with songs
You got my shoelaces undone
Take my shirt, go on take it off me
You can tear it up
If you can tie me down

Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved

Take the colours of my imagination
Take the scent hanging in the air
Take this tangle of a coversation
And turn it into your own prayer

With my fingers as you want them
With my nails under your hide
With my teeth at your back
And my tongue to tell you the sweetest lies

Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
And it looks like the sun
But it feels like the rain

Love′s a bully pushing and shoving
In the belly of a woman
Heavy rhythm taking over
To stick together
A man and a woman
Stick together
Man and woman
Stick together...

And I feel loved
Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
And it looks like the sun
But it feels like the rain
And there′s heat in the sun
To see us through the rain

Do you feel loved
Do you feel loved
Do you feel...
Do you feel...

@ U2

Текст песни:

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 colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing


I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
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 you can′t get out of it


Oh love, look at you now
You′ve got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can′t get out of it


I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm ′til 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 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 this stony pass


It′s just a moment
This time will pass

Текст песни:

High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here
At the corner of your lips
At 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
Now 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...

Текст песни:

Yes...

I can′t believe the news today
Oh, I can′t close my eyes
And make it go away
How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long...
′cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...

Broken bottles under children′s feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won′t heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

And the battle′s just begun
There′s many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long...
′cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...tonight...

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

And it′s true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On...

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday...

Текст песни:

You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want
Your story to remain untold

But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you′ll give me
A highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night

You say you′ll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You say you want
Your love to work out right
To last with me through the night

You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold

All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

You...all I want is...
You...all I want is...
You...all I want is...
You...

Текст песни:

Six o’clock
On the autoroute
Burning rubber, burning chrome
Bay of Cadiz and ferry home
Atlantic sea cut glass
African sun at last

Lights… flash past…
Like memories
A speeding head, a speeding heart
I’m being born, a bleeding start
The engines roar, blood curling wail
Head first then foot
Then heart sets sail

@ U2
