@ALBUM: THE JOSHUA TREE @SONG: WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME I want to run I want to hide I want to tear down the walls That hold me inside I want to reach out And touch the flame Where the streets have no name I want to feel, sunlight on my face See that dust cloud disappear without a trace I want to 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 Then burning down love, burning down love And when I go there I go there with you... (It's all I can do) The cities a flood And our love turns to rust We're beaten and blown by the wind Trampled into dust I'll show you a place High on ta desert plain Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Still building Then burning down love Burning down love And when I go there I go there with you (It's all I can do) @SONG: 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 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 fingertips It burned like fire This burning desire 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 colors will bleed into one But yes I'm still running. You broke the bonds You loosened the chains You carried the cross And my shame And my shame You know I believed it But I still haven't found What I'm looking for But I still haven't found What I'm looking for @SONG: WITH OR WITHOUT YOU 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 left to win And nothing else to lose With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you @SONG: BULLET THE BLUE SKY In the howling wind comes a stinging rain See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain >From the firefly, a red orange glow See the face of fear running 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 Plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue Bullet the blue This guy comes up to me His face red like a rose on a thorn bush Like all the colors of a royal flush And he's peeling off those dollar bills Slapping them down One hundred, two hundred And I can see those fighter planes And I can see those fighter planes Across the mud huts where the children sleep Through the alleys of a quiet city street Take the staircase to the first floor Turn the key and slowly unlock the door As a man breathes into a saxophone Through the walls we hear the city groan Outside it's America Outside it's America Across the field you see the sky ripped open See the rain come through the gaping wound Pounding on the women and children who run into the arms of America @SONG: RUNNING TO STAND STILL And so she woke up >From where she was lying still Said we got to do something about where we're going Step on a steam train Step out of the driving train Maybe run from the darkness in the night Singing Ha La La La De Day Singing Ha La La La De Day Sweet the sin But the bitter taste in my mouth I see seven towers But I only see one way out You got to 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 Ha La La La De Day Singing Ha La La La De Day She runs through the streets With her eyes painted red Under black belly of cloud in the rain In through a doorway she brings me White gold and pearls stolen from the sea She is raging She is raging and the storm blows up in her eyes She will suffer the needle chill She is running to stand still @SONG: RED HILL MINING TOWN >From Father to Son The blood runs thin Our faces frozen (still) against the wind The seam is split The coal face cracked The lines are long And there's no going back Through hands of steel And a heart of stone Our labor day has come and gone And you leave us holding on In Red Hill Town As the lights go down I'm hanging on You're all that's left to hang on to I'm holding on You're all that's left to hang on to The glass is cut The bottle runs dry Our love runs cold In the caverns of the night We're wounded by fear Injured in doubt I can lose myself I'm holding on You're all that's left to hold on to And we scorch the earth Set fire to the sky Stoop so low to reach so high A link is lost The chain undone Now we wait all day For the night to come And it comes And it comes Like a hunter (child) I'm hanging on You're all that's left to hang on to I'm hanging on to You're all that's left to hang on to We see love slowly stripped away Our love, has seen a better day I'm hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm holding on You're all that's left to hold on to See the lights go down on Red Hill Town See lights go down on Red Hill Town @SONG: IN GOD'S COUNTRY Desert sky Dream beneath a desert sky The rivers run But soon run dry We need new dreams tonight Desert rose Dreamed I saw a desert rose Dress torn in ribbons And in bows Like a siren she calls (to me) Sleep comes like a drug...In God's Country Sad eyes crooked crosses...In God's Country Set me alight We'll punch a hole right through the night Everyday the dreamers die She is Liberty And she comes to rescue me Hope, faith, her vanity The greatest gift is gold Sleep comes like a drug...In God's Country Sad eyes crooked crosses...In God's Country Naked flame She stands with a naked flame I stand with the sons of Cain Burned by the fire of love Burned by the fire of love @SONG: TRIP THROUGH YOUR WIRES In the distance She saw me coming I was calling out I was calling out Still shaking Still in pain Angel or devil I was thirsty And you wet my lips You, I'm waiting for you You, you set my desire I trip through your wires I was broken, bent out of shape I was naked in the clothes you made My lips were dry, throat like rust You gave me shelter >From the heat and the dust There's no more water in the well No more water in the well Angel or devil I was thirsty and you wet my lips You, I'm waiting for you You, You set my desire I trip through your wires Thunder, thunder on the mountain There's a rain cloud in the desert sky In the distance you saw me coming I was calling out I was calling out @SONG: ONE TREE HILL We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill As the day begs the night for mercy Your sun so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars Carved into stone on the face of earth The moon is up and over One Tree Hill We see the sun go down in your eyes You ran like river to the sea Like a river to the sea And in our world a heart of darkness, a firezone Where poets speak their hearts, then bleed for it Jara sang, his song a weapon, in the hands of love You know his blood still cries from the ground It runs like a river to the sea Like a river to the sea I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts While bullets rape the night of the merciful I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill We run like a river to the sea Like a river to the sea @SONG: EXIT You know he got the cure...but then he went astray, He used to stay awake To drive the dreams he had away He wanted to believe In the hands of love... His head it felt heavy As he cut across the land He went deeper into black Deeper into white...he could see The stars shine Like nails in the night He felt the healing Healing, healing, healing Hands of love Like the stars shiny, shiny... >From above. He put his hands in the pocket His finger on the steel The pistol weighed heavy His heart he could feel Was beating, beating Beating, beating oh my love Oh my love, oh my love Oh my love. He saw the hands that build Could also pull down.... The hands of love. @SONG: 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 heartbeat... We hear their heartbeat In the trees Our sons stand naked Through the walls Our daughters cry See their tears in the rainfall @ALBUM: WAR @SONG: Sunday Bloody Sunday I can't believe the news today, I can't close my eyes and make it go away. How long, how long must we sing this song? How long? Tonight we can be as one. Broken bottles under children's feet, Bodies strewn across a 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. And the battle's just begun, There's many lost, but tell me who has won? The trenches 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, Tonight we can be as one. Tonight, tonight. Sunday, bloody Sunday. Sunday, bloody Sunday. Wipe the tears from your eyes, Wipe your tears away, Wipe your blood shot eyes. Sunday, bloody Sunday. Sunday, bloody Sunday. And it's true we are immune. When fact is fiction and T.V. is reality, And today the millions cry, We eat and drink while tomorrow they die. The real battle just begun. To claim the victory Jesus won, On a Sunday bloody Sunday, Sunday bloody Sunday. @SONG: Seconds It takes a second to say goodbye, Say goodbye. It takes a second to say goodbye, Say goodbye, say bye bye where are you going to now? Fall, rise and . . . Fall, rise and . . . Lightning flashes across the sky, >From east to west you do or die. Like a thief in the night, You see the world by candlelight. Fall, rise and . . . Fall, rise and . . . In an apartment on Times Square, You can assemble them anywhere. Held to ransom, hell to pay, A revolution everyday. U.S.S.R., D.D.R., London, New York, Peking. It's the puppets, It's the puppets who pull the strings. Say goodbye, say goodbye. It takes a second to say goodbye, Push the button and pull the plug, say goodbye. Fall, rise and . . . Fall, rise and . . . They're doing the atomic bomb, Do they know where the dance comes from? Yes they're doing the atomic bomb, They want you to sing along. Say goodbye, say goodbye. @SONG: New Year's Day All is quiet on New Year's Day, A world in white gets underway, And I want to be with you, Be with you night and day. Nothing changes on New Year's Day. I will be with you again. I will be with you again. Under a blood-red sky A crowd has gathered in black and white. Arms entwined, the chosen few, Newspapers say, it says it's true. And we can break through, though torn in two we can be one. I will begin again, I will begin again. Oh and maybe the time is right, Oh maybe tonight. I will be with you again. I will be with you again. And so we are told this is the golden age And gold is the reason for the wars we wage. Though I want to be with you, To be with you night and day. Nothing changes on New Year's day. @SONG: Drowning Man Take my hand You know I'll be there, If you can I'll cross The sky for your love, For I have promised for To be with you tonight And for the time that will come. Take my hand You know I'll be there, If you can I'll cross The sky for your love And I understand These winds and tides, This change of times Won't drag you away. Hold on, hold on tightly, Hold on and don't let go Of my love. The storms will pass It won't be long now. The storms will pass But my love last forever. And take my hand, You know I'll be there, If you can I'll cross the sky For your love. Give you what I hold dear, Hold on, hold on tightly. Hold on, hold on tightly. Rise up, rise up with wings, Like eagles you'll run, you'll run. You'll run and not grow weary. Take my hand, take my hand. Hold on tightly. Hold on tightly. This love last forever, This love last forever, Take my hand, Take my hand. @SONG: The Refugee Oh, Oh She's the refugee. I see your face, I see you staring back at me. Oh, Oh She's the refugee Her mama say one day she's gonna live in America. In the morning, She is waiting, Waiting for the ship to sail, Sail away. Her papa go to war. He gonna fight, But he don't know what for. Her papa go to war Her mama say one day he's gonna come back from far away. Help me. How can you help me? In the evening, She is waiting, Waiting for her man to come. And take her by her hand. And take her to this promise land. She's a pretty face, But at the wrong time and at the wrong place. She's a pretty face. Her mama say one days she's gonna live in America. Yeah, America. She's a refugee. She's coming amn, she's coming for company. She's a refugee. Her mama say one day she's gonna live in America. @SONG: Surrender The city's alight With lovers and lies Bright blue eyes. The city is bright, Brighter than day tonight, 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 Got to find out, find out What she's living for. Surrender, Surrender. The city's a fire, A passionate flame That knows me by name. The city's desire To take me for more and more. It's in the street getting under my feet, It's in the air it's everywhere I look for you, It's in the things I do and say. If I want to live, I've got to die to myself someday. Papa sing my sing my song. Papa sing my sing my song. @SONG: Like a Song Like a song I have to sing, I sing it for you. Like the words I have to bring, I bring them for you. And in leather, lace and chains, We stake our claim, Revolution once again. But I won't, I won't wear it on my sleeve. I can see through this expression And you know I don't believe. I'm too old to be told, Exactly who are you? Tonight, tomorrow's to late. And we love to wear a badge, a uniform, And we love to fly a flag. But I won't let others live in hell, As we divide against each other, And we fight amongst ourselves. Too set in out ways to try to rearrange. Too right to be wrong, in this rebel song. Let the bells ring out, is there nothing left? Is honesty what you want? A generation without name, ripped and torn, Nothing to loose, nothing to gain, Nothing at all. And if you can't help yourself, Well take a look around you When others need your time. You say it's time to go it's your time. Angry words won't stop the fight. Two wrings won't make it right. A new heart is what I need, Oh God, make it bleed, Is there nothing left? @SONG: Two Hearts Beat As One I don't know, I don't know which side I'm on. I don't know my right from left, Or my right from wrong. Say I'm a fool, Say I'm not for you. But if I'm a fool for you, That's something. Two hearts beat as one. Two hearts beat as one. Can't stop the dance, This is not our chance. I can't stop the dance, Maybe this is not our chance. Two hearts beat as one. Two hearts beat as one. Beat on black, Beat on white, Beat on anything, Go get it right. Beat on you or beat on me. Oh I don't know, How to say what has got to be said. I don't know if it's black or white. There's other's who see it red. I don't give the answers right. I'll leave that to you. Is this love out of fashion? Or is it the time of year? I have these words to sections. Too late to one of you. Two hearts beat as one. Two hearts beat as one. I'll shine my spirit aloud. Try to explain. What I feel. Two hearts. I can't stop the dance. Baby, this is my last chance. I said don't stop the dance. Baby this is not our last chance. I said, can't stop the dance. @SONG: Red Light You said you're not going to hell. But you can't ask it. If your running from yourself. I give you my love. I give you my love. Still you walk away. It's a bright light child. As you jump to the street below. But where can you go To leave yourself behind? Lonely on the spotlight, Your not really traveling. I give you my love. Holding the city. I give my love to you. And I'll bring you through. See your not alone. I give you my love. I give you my love. @SONG: '40' (Taken from Psalm 40) I waited patiently for the Lord He inclined and heard my cry. He brought me right out of the pit, out of my reglade. I will sing a new song, How long to sing this song? He set my feet upon a rock, and made my footsteps heard. Many will see, Many will see and fear. I will sing, sing a new song. How long to sing this song? @ALBUM: ZOOROPA by U2 Copyright (c) 1993 Polygram International Music Publ. BV. All rights for the United States and Canada administered by Polygram International Publ.
