Look me in the eye and tell me this doesnt sound like U2 lyrics

[BrattyIrishPunk]

PaleBlueDot pointed this out. The other night in a Zootopia chatroom I was singing "Train In Vain" by The Clash, and she said it sounded like U2 lyrics, and it got me thinking, and it sorta does....

Say you stand by your man

The Clash-Train In Vain

Tell me something I don't understand

You said you love me and that's a fact

Then you left me, said you felt trapped



Well some things you can explain away

But my heartache's in me till this day



CHORUS

Did you stand by me

No, not at all

Did you stand by me

No way



All the times

When we were close

I'll remember these things the most

I see all my dreams come tumbling down

I won't be happy without you around



So all alone I keep the wolves at bay

There is only one thing that I can say



CHORUS



You must explain why this must be

Did you lie when you spoke to me



Did you stand by me

No, not at all



Now I got a job

But it don't pay

I need new clothes

I need somewhere to stay

But without all these things I can do

But without your love I won't make it through



But you don't understand my point of view

I suppose there's nothing I can do



CHORUS



You must explain why this must be

Did you lie when you spoke to me?



Did you stand by me

Did you stand by me

No, not at all

Did you stand by me

No way

Did you stand by me

No, not at all

Did you stand by me

No way

lol...

But seriously...I think the lyrics are a little too cynical for anything I've ever heard that Bono's written. I mean, he has written some really cynical stuff...but somehow there's always a little glimmer of hope that I kind of don't see here.

Joost my opinion...
