[bono_212]

brb,



yep, I hate Miami that much

 

[coolian2]

The sun shines east, the sun shines west........if only they'd stolen that line for the studio version instead the crap Bono sings

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

ugh...playboy mansion. now these lyrics are lame. and incredibly dated now. michael jackson? big mac? wtf!

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

I wanna go to Miami and get knocked up by Bono in a photobooth.


Except for the pregnancy part.

 

[coolian2]

The Playboy Mansion

:ianloves:

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

have i got the grits to get me through
the gates of that mansion

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

God, this song could've been better.

Actually the first half is really what kills it.

 

[Axver]

Miami is my least favourite song on the album, but I'm definitely fond of it. So much better live it isn't funny. The segue (well, really it was a wicked cut) into Bullet is something else.

God yes, Miami --> Bullet is one of the band's best segues. Though I also liked the sudden transition from Bad/Dirty Day into Bullet on ZooTV, just with the way the song absolutely exploded out of whatever snippet Bono was doing or "love, it won't last kissing time".

But for the first time, I feeeeel ...
*KA-BOOOM!*

Dates badly, but I likes it.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Dates badly, but I likes it.

you're weird.

Yeah, agreed. This song needed much more work lyrically, because it's not totally worthless musically. Honestly, though, I think it would have been better as a b-side and NASOTR should have been on the album. After all, NASOTR has fantastic lyrics.

The first time I heard Bad/The First Time -> Bullet I nearly shit my pants. Oh, for those types of performances again.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

god, i don't know what i hate more. the first verse, or the second where he's like rapping or whatever

the only part redeeming it is "then there will be no time for sorrow..."

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

But loooove, come on down
And let my numbers, come around



"Come on down", is that a reference to The Price is Right?

 

[coolian2]

you're weird.

What was that, Miss OMG TEH EAYTEES!!?

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

when i got that single, i was blown away with nasotr.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

What was that, Miss OMG TEH EAYTEES!!?

i said bite me.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Then will there be no time for sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame
And though I can't say why
I know I've got to believe

I like that part

 

[coolian2]

The build into that part is the best part of the song.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

yes!! velvet dress! the song where bono has sex with your ears

 

[coolian2]

i said bite me.

Oh, ok.

Where?

 

[Axver]

Then will there be no time for sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame
And though I can't say why
I know I've got to believe

I like that part

Yeah, if they'd run with that for more of the song, it wouldn't suck so much lyrically.

And now Velvet Dress. I love this song. U2 have never done anything else quite like this, though I do prefer the Jools Holland version.

 

[coolian2]

tonight........the moon is playing tricks again

 

[Angela Harlem]

i like miami and playboy mansion. but liking this album is supposedly a stupid thing, or has that changed on here?

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Oh, ok.

Where?

here! *points*

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

This soooooong is pure seeeex

 

[coolian2]

I love Velvet Dress, and the Jools Holland version. I personally prefer the Pop version, however.
