"Did I ask too much...?"

[FallingStar]

In One I always heard and hear

Did I ask too much
More than ALLOWED


instead of


Did I ask too much
More than a lot






What do you think Bono says?

 

[Tomer]

i always thought more than lots

one mitake #2:

one love, one plot, one life

 

[Numb1075]

more than a lot

 

[rivergoat]

I always heard "more than alot" which I thought was kinda goofy, but hey, it DOES make sense...

}~

 

[Tomer]

when all you got is hurt

 

[Axver]

'More than a lot'.

 

[MySuicidalTurtle]

I always hear and say "when all you got is her" even though I keep telling myself HURT, waw.


Anyways back to the question, I think he says "More than a lot"

 

[Sanguine]

more than a lot.

Example:

Me: Did I ask too much?
Boss: Yes, more than a lot.

(About my payrise )

 

[Tomer]

I always thought it was her, but it is hurt

 

[MySuicidalTurtle]

Yes, it's ever so tricky!

 

[Tomer]

keep paying attention

 

[babyman]

more than a lot

 

[Luthien Black]

I always heard "more than a lot".

I hate it when you hear a different lyric, and even though you might know what it's meant to be, you still hear your own version. It can be quite amusing at times, though!

 

[ADecentMelody]

more than a lot = too much

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Did I ask too much?
More than a lot?
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got.

Asking simply for acceptance, was that too much?
You didn't give that to me. All you've got is hurt.

 

[TheFlyOnTheWall]

so he's asking for acceptance?! (make sense...)

I adore this song... it's my favourite U2 tune. But, while I understand what Bono's trying to say with 'more than a lot' (or, rather, my interpretation of what he's trying to say), I've always thought that line was the only weak lyric in the song.

Forgive me if that doesn't flow very well... I've been up 40 hrs with no sleep!
