at least 200 ft away from Bono at all times!
OK, my family and I got into a discussion on what Bono mumbles in Elevation. After the first chorus, he mumbles something, and it's not written in the lyrics. My family claims he says "pick it up and stick it in a pot." I just laughed at them. It sounds to me like he says someting like "soon be a part of me." But I don't know, so I was wondering what y'all think?? thanks!!!
 
I thinketh he says:

"Take it off, this suit is hot"

It sounds to me like he said
"take it off and slippery hot"

People have talked about this a lot. I don't know what it is either. But the rumours are that he says,"We can still beat pop." It does sound like that, actually.

"You must not look down on someone just 'cos they are 14 years old. When I was that age I listened to the music of John Lennon and it changed my way of seeing things, so I'm just glad that 14 year olds are coming to see U2 rather than group X." - Bono, 1988
 
I've always wondered about that too. It doesn't say in the Lyrics of the ATYCLB sleeve does it? I thought it was "stir it up, stick it in the pot" because that's what it sounded like LOL, but that makes no sense. I wish one of the boys would clear it up, because it's driving me crazy LOL.

Anyway...as of now my opinion is that he says something like "Take you out, you'll still be hot"

Hmm...mysterious BonoLyrics...we should make this thread about all those mysterious lyrics throughout the years

The whole wide world feels like a shrine to the worker bees, who stole it from God anyhow.
Lay it down, child
Lay it down, child
And walk into this room all made with love for you...


And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
 
well, i think he says:

check it out now, laura is hot!

heh heh heh

love is blindness
i don't want to see
won't you wrap the night around me
o my heart
love is blindness
 
HAHA this is great

Success is not about how much money you have, the size of your house, or who you know. It's all about how cool your pants are.
 
*is to lazy to read everyone else's posts*
I dunno if someone already said this, but I always thought it was:
"check it out, I'm speaking it hot"

Time is a train
Makes the future the past
Leaves you standing in the station
Your face pressed up against the glass

LAURA! ::SCHMACK:: *bitch-slaps Laura* Go back to ur Adam threads!

Ok, here's my confusing thingy:

during Promenade, right after he says "I see you stare into space, have I got closer now behind the face...." what are the next two lines? it sounds like he kinda slurs words and all the lyric sites I've visited say different things....

*swoon*

this song is on my top-ten list

"Take for a while
your trumpet from your lips

Loosen your hold,
loosen your grip

On your old ways that have
fallen out of step
with the change in time

Hoist a new flag
Hoist a new flag."
-- Birds Without Wings, David Gray
 
Okay, so curiosity made me re-listen to the song. (It was hard work, but it had to be done.

)

I don't think that's English. Or for that matter, any language. It seriously sounds like made up noises.

Maybe Bono has his own secret language.

Ah an infamous leopard. The world may never know. It's like that part in "Always" that's sounds like "I wanted to be a man"
