"i'm like a preacher stealing hearts at a travelling show"
Does anyone else think this may have been Bono's way of self-mocking?
"preacher" being a hint at his religious influence in his lyrics (kind of taking a punch back at the critics who resent religios/political motives U2 so often uses in their career),
"stealing hearts" being about singers/rock stars idolized - and how singer not necessarily want/deserve/expect that but understand it's just the way it is,
and "a travelling show" being a refernce to a musical tour?
