If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
only thing that makes me doubt those SUC lyrics is the lack of some of the lyrics mentioned in the reviews we've seen... like 'i'm not a lover or a fighter, failed at both' or something

Yeah...these tributes weren't particularly well researched.
 
From "Q" Magazine:

“Magnificent”, a fragment: "Only love can reset your mind"
"Moment of Surrender": "I did not notice the passers by / And they did not notice me" :applaud:
 
No line on the horizon

I know a girl who´s like the sea
I watch her changing every day for me
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

One day she´s still, the next she swells
You can hear the universe in her sea shells
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

No, no line on the horizon, no line

I kwno a girl with a hole in her heart
She said infinity is a great place ti start
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

She said "Time is irrelevant, it´s not linear"
Then she put her tounge in my ear
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh


No, no line on the horizon, no line
No, no line
No, no line on the horizon, no line
No, no line

The songs in your head are now on my mind
You put me on pause
I´m trying to rewind and replay

Every night I have the same dream
I´m hatching some plot, scheming some scheme
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I´m traffic cop, due de marais
The sirens are wailing but it´s me that wants to get away
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

No, no line on the horizon, no line
No, no line
No, no line on the horizon, no line
No, no line
 
A few innacuracies there, though some of what you have helped me decipher what bono's saying (he never did learn annunciation):

the linear/tongue in ear transcription is from a verse i absolutely can't decipher, but i definitely don't here that. it seriously sounds like scat singing.

songs in my head is now in my mind
i put you on pause...

traffic cop rue de marie
sirens screaming

and a few misplaced choruses/oh ohs. sorry, i'm at work, so no more time.
 
So far, this is what I've got:

NLOTH2

I know a girl
Who's like the sea
I watch her changing every day for me
Oh yeah
Ooooooh

One day she's still
The next she swells
Can hear the universe in her sea shells
Oh yeah
Ooooooh

No line on the horizon
No line
No line on the horizon
No line

I kwow a girl
Hole in her heart
She said infinity is a great place to start
No, no, you know it's gonna be alone

Well then you said that in the ??????
I wanna be the sea in the sail, oh love

No line on the horizon
No line
No line on the horizon
No line

Ooooooooooh

The song in my head
Is now on my mind
I put you on pause and try to rewind alone
and replay, play

Every night I have the same dream
I'm hatching some plot
Scheming some scheme
Oh yeah
Ooooooh

I'm traffic cop
Rue de marais
The sirens are wailing but it's me that wants to get away
Ooooooh

No, no, line
No line on the horizon
No, no line.
 
You're right, there's so much Bongolese in the second verse, I cannot hear the stuff with "tongue in my ear" (doesn't make much sense anyway), and I think it's "I want to be the sea and the sail".
 
Moment of surrender



I tied myself with wire
To let the horses run free
Playing with the fire until the fire played with me
The stone was semi-precious
We were barely conscious
Two souls too smart to be in the realm of certainty
Even on our wedding day

We set ourselves on fire
Oh God, do not deny her
It´s not if I believe in love
But if love believes in me
Oh, believe in me

At the moment of surrender
I floded to my knees
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

I´ve been in every black hole
At the altar of the dark star
My body´s now a begging bowl
That´s begging to get back, begging to get back
To my heart
To the rhythm of my soul
To the rhythm of my unconsciousness
To the rhythm that yearns
To be released form control

I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine
I could see in the reflection
A face staring back at me
At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers-bay
And they did not notice me

I was speeding on the subway
Through the stations of the cross
Every eye looking every other way
Counting down ´til the pain would stop

At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers-bay
And they did not notice me
 
Super Yo, you are a mystery to me.

I don't know where you've got the lyrics from.

But I LOVE these, I really really do. Moment of Surrender sounds awsome.

:heart:

Thank you so much.
 
No Line on the Horizon
PFan Interpretation

I know a girl who's like the sea
I watch her changin' everyday for me
Oh yeah, woah oh woah oh woah oh oh oh

One day she still, the next she swims
But hear the universe in her seashells
Oh yeah, woah oh woah oh woah oh oh oh ooh

No line on the horizon, no line
No line on the horizon, no line

I know a girl, hole in her heart
She said infinity's a great place to start
No, no, you know it's gonna be alone

Well then you set me in the head you're sellin', lover
I wanna be the sea and the say
Oh, love, woah oh woah oh woah oh oh oh

No line on the horizon, no line
No line on the horizon, no line

Oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

The song in my head is now on my mind
I put you on pause, I try to rewind
Oh no, and replay

Every night I've the same dream
I'm hatching some plot, scheming some scheme
Oh yeah, woah oh woah oh woah oh oh oh

I'm a traffic cop, due de marais
The sirens wailing and it's me that wants to get away
Oh woah oh woah oh woah oh oh oh

No!
No! Line!
No!
No! Line!
No line on the horizon, no line
No line on the horizon, no line
 
All the God is love stuff makes me want to vomit. Damn. This is like lyrics my friend in high school was writing when he went thru his whole Born Again phase. Boring. Preachy. Preachy and Boring.
Hopefully the song's good.

"love" is the most basic, universal definition of god, or being.

it's not a line meant to excite you out of boredom. it's a thought.

Why the hell no one's discussing this?
Or did I missed something?
 
the MOS lyrics seem to be equating woman with love, sex, and god, like One.
has to be Bono
 
The lyrics to NLOTH and MOS are amazing. I'm starting to think that Bono was playing around with character(s) here... it seems in a metaphorical-ish sense.

Which is... just... :drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool::drool:ad infinitum.
 
No Line on the Horizon Lyrics

Here is what I've got - there are obviosly some gaps
*************************************************

I know a girl
who's like the sea
I watch her changing every day for me
oh yeah

whoaoh whoaaooh

One day she's still
The next she swells
Can hear the universe in her sea shells
oh yeah

whoaoh whoaaooh

No line on the horizon
No line
No line on the horizon
No line

I know a girl
Hole in her heart
She said infinity's a great place to start

oh no you know it's gonna be on no

we'll let me set me in the hacky sound of a (??? NOT EVEN CLOSE ???)
I wanna be the sea
you know you say (?)
oh love (?)

whoaoh whoaaooh

No line on the horizon
No line
No line on the horizon
No line

ohhhhhhhhhhhh
ohhh ohhh ohhhh ohhhh

The song in my head
is now on my mind
I put you on pause
I try to rewiiiiiiind
alone
and replay
hey

Every night
The same dream
I'm hatching some plot
Scheming some scheme
oh yeah

whoaoh whoaaooh

I'm a traffic cop
Who never ran(?)
the sirens wailing and it's me
that wants to get away
whoaoh whoaaooh

No
No line
No
No line
No

No line on the horizon
No line
No line on the horizon
No line
No line on the horizon
No no line

Think you're pretty close Trent.

I heard some other folks say the song wasn't great because it didn't have a strong bridge...

The song in my head
is now on my mind
I put you on pause
I try to rewiiiiiiind
alone
and replay
hey

I beg to differ. One of the best bridges I've heard in a long time!
