What's the story behind the grammatically incorrect song title here?
Sorry, I'm behind the loop on such things.
Is that all there is, really? Lol. From the beginning I was baffled as to why such a big grammar blunder in the title here. Anyway, I love this song! It's such fun. And so different for them. Thank heavens for that. I don't think we want an album full of 13 serious thought provoking songs.It's supposed to be fun / silly!
Pete the chop!

Has there been no discussion on this here? I'm quite surprised. People on this forum (or anywhere on the Internet for that matter) including me (!) like to nitpick and complain about every small thing U2 does or doesn't do. And this is a pretty Wtf song title. I can totally see them not giving a toss though and calling it artistic license or something. If so, it doesn't bother me.
After reading your post I cannot tell if you like the song or not. You start out sounding negative about it and then at the end sound positive. Lol.Despite my feelings for the song (which I won't go into because I don't want to soil the positive vibes), I have no problem with artists breaking grammar rules and injecting some funky nonsense into songs. If a song is good/bad musically (subjective, yes), it doesn't matter that much to me if the lyrics make sense or have some deeper meaning to me. Don't get me wrong though, it is a plus if they hit home on a personal level.
'effortlessly crafted' - are you actually talking about U2? and the army of producers they employed, apparently to apply no effort to these songs?I'm honestly kinda surprised by the amount of hate this song gets--it's an effortlessly crafted pop song (in the traditional sense, i.e. not "popular song") w/o the pandering for modern radio, home to some of the better lyrics on the album (I know, I know--that's not saying much--but still...), and has the kinda chorus you end up spontaneously humming to yourself. And while the tune isn't exactly breaking new sonic territory, it's not a road I hear U2 travel down very often. So yeah, definitely one of the surprise standouts after some early impressions left me feeling reticent.

I now see why Noel Gallagher said that he wished he had written this one. A real gem, very early Beatles sound. Pretty terrific for a simple pop song.
