Songs of Innocence has some great lyrics:
The Miracle
We got language so we can’t communicate
Religion so I can love and hate
Music so I can exaggerate my pain, and give it a name (Really like this last line)
Every Breaking Wave
I thought I heard the captain’s voice
It's hard to listen while you preach
Like every broken wave on the shore
This is as far as I could reach
California
I’ve seen for myself
There’s no end to grief
That’s how I know
And why I need to know that there is no end to love
We come and go
But stolen days you don't give back
Stolen days are just enough
Song For Someone
You let me into a conversation
A conversation only we could make
You break and enter my imagination
Whatever’s in there it’s yours to take
And I’m a long way from your hill of Calvary
And I’m a long way from where I was and where I need to be
Iris
Once we are born, we begin to forget
The very reason we came
But you
I’m sure I’ve met
Long before the night the stars went out
We’re meeting up again
Raised By Wolves
My body’s not a canvas
My body’s now a toilet wall
Boy sees his father crushed under the weight
Of a cross in a passion where the passion is hate
Cedarwood Road
If the door is open it isn’t theft
You can’t return to where you’ve never left
Blossoms falling from a tree they cover you and cover me
Symbols clashing, bibles smashing
Paint the world you need to see
Sometimes fear is the only place we can call home
This Is Where You Can Reach Me Now
Old man knows how to cheat ambition
You don’t lose if you don’t play
If you won’t let us in your world
Your world just isn’t there
The Troubles
And you think it’s easier
To know your own tricks
Well it’s the hardest thing you’ll ever do
Invisible
I don’t dream, not as such
I don’t even think about you that much
Unless I start to think at all
I’m more than you know
I’m more than you see here
More than you let me be
I’m more than you know
A body in a soul
You don’t see me but you will
I am not invisible
The Miracle
We got language so we can’t communicate
Religion so I can love and hate
Music so I can exaggerate my pain, and give it a name (Really like this last line)
