A couple more...
"And we love to wear a badge, a uniform
And we love to fly a flag
But I won't...let others live in hell
As we divide against each other
And we fight amongst ourselves
Too set in out ways to try to rearrange
Too right to be wrong, in this rebel song...
Angry words won't stop the fight
Two wrongs won't make it right
A new heart is what I need
Oh God, make it bleed" (Like A Song) very moving ending...
"And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape" (A Sort Of Homecoming)
"Need the rain to wash away our bad luck" (Electrical Storm)
"And I don't know how to pray anymore
And in love I don't know how to hope anymore
and for that love I don't know how to wait anymore" the end of Pavarotti's Italian part in Miss Sarajevo
"I'm 'round the corner from anything that's real
I'm across the road from hope
I'm under a bridge in a rip tide
That's taken everything I call my own...
Well the heart that hurts
Is a heart that beats" (One Step Closer)
"Don’t know if I’m that strong
To be somebody
To need someone...
Every shipwrecked soul
Knows what it is
To live without intimacy
I thought I heard the master’s voice
It’s hard to listen while you preach" (Upcoming Every Breaking Wave
)

"It's not if I believe in love,
If love believes in me" (MOS) It gets me every time!
and since Bono more often than not Love=God & God=Love, well then, there's a duality here...

My favorites are
City of Blinding Lights - "The more you see the less you know"
and
Numb - "Don't whisper
Don't talk
Don't run if you can walk
Don't cheat, compete
Don't miss the one beat "

With "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" (what a mouthful!
) being now played live, I've rediscovered the song, here's my favorite part!
"They don't know what you're doing
Babe, it must be art
You're a headache
In a suitcase
You're a star...
You don't know how you got here
You just know you want out
Believing in yourself
Almost as much as you doubt"
Some wonderful lyrics here, no matter if I'm still fuzzy
about the "suitcase" line, could mean a bunch of things, really!

From the newest Boy Falls From The Sky, I ADORE the opening lines!
Bono is my voice of reason when I can't find my own...
"You can change your mind
But you cannot change your heart
It’s a compass and a map "

"stop helping god across the road like a little old lady"
I kissed your lips and I broke you heart
I love these lines too
It's amazing how many unforgettable and poetic quotes come from U2 songs

There's a bucketload of them!!
Bono's lyrics ALWAYS surprise me and my analysis of his lyrics is constantly evolving, even after a week, a month, a year... They're challenging, but oh so precious!!Here's some of my favourite from Summer Rain
"When you stop taking chances
You'll stay where you sit
You won't live any longer
But it'll feel like it"
Not a happy place to be in
"It's not where you're born
It's where you belong
It's not how weak
But what will make you strong"
It's so easy to lose sight of this, but when it does jump right back in front of your face, well, you've got to keep this knowledge safe!

Some of my current personal faves:
"Lifted some stones
Saw the skin and bones
Of a city without a soul" The Wanderer
"My pulse is fine
but I'm running down the road like loose electricity" Breathe
"From east to west you do or die" Seconds
"Her eyes are swimming pool blue" Miami
"You know the sun shines east
The sun shines west
But I know where the sun shines best
MIAMI!!!!" During a live performance of Miami
"She doesnt care what it's worth
She's living like its the last night on earth" Last Night On Earth
I have more favourites, but these are some of them

In waves of regret, waves of joy I reached out for the one I tried to destroy.
You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl.
I remember when we could sleep on stones, now we lie together in whispers and moans
Oh Cherri (?) Cherri dance with me spin me around tonite, up a spiral staircase to the higher ground

Isn't it "charity dance with me" ?

That could be a good line though to post in the "U2 lyrics you sing wrong", god knows some of Bono's lyrics aren't clear
