Rename U2 songs

[Oregoropa]

This could work for any song. Some names are so obviously tied to the chorus. Elevation, Beautiful Day, Sunday Bloody Sunday. Other times the choices aren't as obvious with the song title Pride, Hawkmoon 269, Exit. Or just non-sensical like Elvis Presley and America.

What would be some of the best sounding alternative titles?

Examples:
Streets becomes 'Burning Down Love'

A Sort of Homecoming becomes 'Borderland'

SYCMIOYO becomes 'Tough'
(I think that was the working title. I like it better than the long drawn out acronym)

Try renaming a whole album.

All of this could be yours
I was a stranger
You don't have to go it alone
I'm not easy on my knees
Blessings not just for the ones who kneel
When I just heard confusion
A soul needs beauty for a soulmate
With a mouth full of teeth
Can't go forward now can't turn back
You don't have to be shy about it
Still waiting for the dawn

From the album "I'm going nowhere where I am it is a lot of fun they're in the desert to dismantle an atomic bomb"

Good Lord the acronym is a mouthful

[kabigon]

When fact is fiction
A revolution everyday
We can break through
Let the bells ring out
Hold on tightly
Waiting for the ship to sail
Can't stop the dance
Still you walk away
A passionate flame
Out of the miry clay

This album was already bad enough as it was. Do we need to make it worse?

 

[cobl04]

I'm quite surprised you haven't joined in the fun, Nipples! This sort of thing is right up your alley, incredibly forced and lame attempts at humour.

Hope you're well.

In seriousness, let's just shorten the band's excessively lengthy titles: Stuck in a Moment, Crazy Tonight, Velvet Dress, I Still Haven't Found, etc. No reason why they had to have such long titles when everybody refers to them by shorter names, even the band themselves sometimes.
