U2 - With Or Without You Lyrics

U2 - With Or Without You Video

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 give 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's got me with nothing to win
And nothing left 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 - The Sweetest Thing Lyrics

U2 - The Sweetest Thing Video

Haaaa haa a, Oooh Ooh
 
My love she throws me like a rubber ball
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
She won't catch me or break my fall
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
You know she wants a dry kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
 
I'm losing you
I'm losing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing
 
I wanted to run but she made me crawl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
Oh oh, the sweetest thing
I know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
This is a blind kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
 
I'm losing you
Whoa haaa, I'm losing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing
 
Ain't love the sweetest thing
Ain't love the sweetest thing
Ain't love the sweetest thing
 
Ahhhh haaa haaaa
Ahhhh haaa haaaa
 
Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
You can sew it up but you still see the tear
Oh oh 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 oh oh, the sweetest thing
 
Do do do do, do do do do
Do do do do, do do do do
Do do do do, do do do do
Do do do do, do do do do
Do do do do, do do do do
The sweetest thing
Do do do do, do do do do
 
Ooh Ooh The Sweetest Thing (Bono)

U2 - Last Night On Earth Lyrics

U2 - Last Night On Earth Video

(What the fear calls down, stops the car)
(As it feels like rage)
(She's back on the street)
(But it swings so far away)
 
She feels the ground is giving way
But she thinks we're better off that way
The more you take, the less you feel
The less you know, the more you believe
The more you have, the more it takes today
 
CHORUS
You got to give it away (you got to give it away)
You got to give it away (you got to give it away)
You got to give it away (you got to give it away)
Well she don't care what it's worth
She's living like it's the last night on Earth
The last night on Earth
 
She's not waiting on a saviour to come (How's-ya classy)
She's at the bus-stop with News of the World and the Sun
Sun, here it comes
She's not waiting for anyone
 
You got to give it away (you got to give it away)
You got to give it away (you got to give it away)
You got to give it away (you got to give it away)
Well she don't care what it's worth
She's living like it's the last night on Earth
The last night on Earth
 
Clock tells her that time is slipping (slipping away)
Tear drop sunshine (slip slide)
Two sides to one feels missing (too heavy)
Something she might be missing (slipping away)
World turns and we get dizzy (the world turns
Spinning for you (and we get dizzy)
The way it's spinning for me (slipping away)
 
She's living, living next week now
You know she's going to pay it back somehow
She hasn't been to bed in a week
She'll be dead soon, then she'll sleep
 
You got to give it away (you got to give it away)
You got to give it away (you got to give it away)
You got to give it away (you got to give it away)
Well she don't care what it's worth
She's living like it's the last night on Earth
The last night on Earth
 
Last night on Earth
Last night on Earth
Last night

U2 - Heartland Lyrics

U2 - Heartland Video

See the sun rise over her skin
Don't change it
See the sun rise over her skin
Dawn changes everything
Everything
And the delta sun
Burns bright and violet
 
Mississippi and the cotton wool heat
Sixty-six a highway speaks
Of deserts dry
Of cool green valleys
Gold and silver veins
Of the shining cities
 
In this heartland
In this heartland soil
In this heartland
Heaven knows this is a heartland
Heartland...heartland
 
See the sun rise over her skin
She feels like water in my hand
Freeway like a river cuts through this land
Into the side of love
Like a burning spear
And the poison rain
Brings a flood of fear
Through the ghost-ranch hills
Death valley waters
In the towers of steel
Belief goes on and on
 
In this heartland
In this heartland soil
In this heartland
Heaven knows this is a heartland
Heartland...heaven knows this is a heartland
Heartland...heartland
Heartland...heaven's day here in the heartland
Heart...

U2 - Kite Lyrics

U2 - Kite Video

Something
Is about to give
I can feel it coming
I think I know what it is
 
I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to live
And when I'm flat on my back
I hope to feel like I did
 
And hardness
It sets in
You need some protection
The thinner the skin
 
I want you to know
That you don't need me anymore
I want you to know
You don't need anyone
Or anything at all
 
Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know
Which way the wind will blow
 
Who's to know when the time has come around
Don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye
 
It's somewhere I can taste the salty sea
There's a kite blowing out of control on the breeze
I wonder what's gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me
 
I'm a man
I'm not a child
A man who sees
The shadow behind your eyes
 
Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know
Where the wind will blow
 
Who's to know when the time has come around
I don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye
 
Did I waste it
Not so much I couldn't taste it
Life should be fragrant
Rooftop to the basement
 
The last of the rocks stars
When hip-hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big idea
What was the big idea

U2 - Surrender Lyrics

U2 - Surrender Video

Oh, the city's alight with lovers and lies
And bright blue eyes.
Oh, the city is bright, it's brighter than day tonight.
(Surrender, surrender)
(Surrender, surrender)
 
Sadie said she couldn't work out what it was all about
And so she let go.
Now Sadie's on the street and the people she meets you know.
 
She tried to be a good girl and a good wife
Raise a good family
Lead a good life
It's not good enough
She got herself up on the 48th floor
Gotta find out
Find out what she's living for.
 
Oh, the city's afire
A passionate flame that will make me the same.
Oh, the city's desire to take me for more and more.
It's in the street gettin' under my feet
It's in the air, it's everywhere I look for you.
It's in the things that I do and say
And it I wanna live I gotta die to myself someday.

U2 - Walk On Lyrics

U2 - Walk On Video

And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage that you can bring
Love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind...
 
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack,
For a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
 
Oh, oh
Walk on, walk on
What you got, they can't steal it
No, they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
 
You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed, to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly, for freedom
 
Oh, oh
Walk on, walk on
What you got, you can't deny it
Can't sell it, or buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
 
And I know it aches
If your heart breaks
It can only take so much
 
Walk on
Walk on
 
Home...
Hard to know what it is, if you never had one
Home...
I can't say where it is, but I know I'm going
Home...
That's where the heart is
 
And I know it aches
And your heart, it breaks
It can only take so much
 
Walk on
 
(Hoooo...)
Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind
 
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you steal
All this you can't leave behind
All that you reason (It's only time)
(And i'll never fill up all my mind)
 
All that you sense
All that you scheme
All that you dress-up
All that you've seen
All you create
All that you wreck
All that you hate

U2 - Elevation Lyrics

U2 - Elevation Video

Yeah, yeah
 
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 got no 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, digging 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
 
Love, lift me out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you
 
A mole, digging 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

U2 - Stay (Faraway, So Close) Lyrics

U2 - Stay (Faraway, So Close) Video

Green light, 7-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
The 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
Oh now, is that what it is
 
Red light, grey morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around
You used to stay up to watch the adverts
You could lip-synch to the talk shows
And if you look, you look through me
And when you talk it's not to 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 satellite 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

U2 - Miss Sarajevo Lyrics

U2 - Miss Sarajevo Video

Is there a time for keeping your distance
A time to turn your eyes away?
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day?
 
Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for cutting hair?
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear?
 
Here she comes (Ooh-hoo)
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown
 
Is there a time to run for cover
A time for kiss and tell?
Is there a time for different colours
Different names you find it hard to spell?
 
Is there a time for first communion
A time for East 17?
Is there a time to turn to Mecca?
Is there time to be a beauty queen?
 
Here she comes (Ooh-hoo)
Beauty plays the clown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown
 
Dici che il fiume
Trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
Giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
E le terre assetate
Dici che come fiume
Come fiume
L'amore giunger
L'amore
E non so pi pregare
E nell'amore non so pi sperare
E quell'amore non so pi aspettare
Is there a time for tying ribbons
A time for Christmas trees?
Is there a time for laying tables?
And the night is set to freeze
