U2 PRE-SALE FIASCO

In light of todays events with regard to the U2 Vertigo tour 2005 the band have taken the extraordinary step to placate fans by releasing a special limited edition of their current top selling album HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB.

The album (now titled: HOW TO DISMANTLE A U2 FAN-BASE) features all new versions of the tracks to commemorate this historic pre-NO-Sale and comes with an all new lyric book.

The Track-listing is as follows:

Limbo
Ticketmaster bug
Sometimes you can’t make it through a pre-sale on your own
4 GA tix or else!!!!!!
Shitty pre-sale leads to fights
No tickets because of you
A Fan and a pre-sale
Crumbs from your pre-sale
One step closer to blowing it
Original of the faeces
Nah-Weh
Fast Buck

An example of the newly written lyrics for this commemorative album is as follows:

LIMBO

Unos dos tres catastrophe!!!!

‘Turn it up Sebastian’

Site goes down, it’s dark
There’s turmoil in your head

You can hear your heart
You feel a dread so much stronger than
you thought ,Your eyes are wide
And you sold your soul
It can be bought
But then you start to wonder........

Hello, hello (f*ck that!)
I’m in a place called limbo (ticketbastard!)
I can’t refresh the page as you already know
Can you please help me someone?
I can’t Fail, Fail !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This site is full of holes
As the touts steal the tix
to sell for gold
They laugh as the
Boys play rock and roll
They know they can sell
And take our souls

I can’t stand this page
Would you rather take a cheque?
The girl from ticketbast*rd
Will have my hands round her neck
Listening to the bullshit
Listening to the bullshit
Ooooon Hold, Ooooooon Hold!

Hello hello (F*ck that)
I’m in a place called limbo (ticketbast*rd)
A pre-sale code that they say they do not know
Can you please help me someone?

I can't fail!!!, Fail !!!!

site-failure
Oh yeah
Hours of fun…

*Sebastian Clayton vocal* :
none of this, none of this will be yours
none of this, none of this will be yours
none of this, none of this will be yours
Just give me 40 bucks for nothing in return….

Hello hello (f*ck that)
We’re in a place called Limbo (ticketbast*rd!)
I can’t refresh the page as you already know
Can you please help me someone?

I can feel the life draining out of me, you f*ck ups are teaching me how.....

how to scream!!!
SCREAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM !!!!

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Hi,

Thanks for considering Elevation USA to record
"Limbo".
I did see this on Interference and other boards and
find it really funny.
I don't think we could record this in a timely manner
for you.
I would suggest posting on U2_ Recording - Yahoo
group.
There has been talk on there of someone recording it
already.
Good Luck,

Elevation USA

lol...I read the lyrics yesterday...I might have some time to record it
tonite...I'll see what I can do...some of the phrasing may need to be changed
to make it more singable...

Cheers,

Shawn

I don't know if you guys are interested, but I actually came up with this yesterday...


I was born a child of taste
Liked nothing else about the place
Radio was ugly but I saw U2's beautiful face
And it left me no illusion

I saw it in the curve of the moon
I would soon see U2 sing their tunes
But now when I see U2
I just hear confusion

All because of U2.com
All because of TM
All because of Fanfire
I am… I am

I didn't like the sound of the fanclub's voice
Ticketmaster didn’t give the fans a choice
An ineffective tortoise
Messing with your heads like a train in vain

Some fans got squashed crossing the tracks
Some fans got credit card bills on their backs
U2's not broke but you can see the cracks
They can make it perfect again

All because of U2.com
All because of TM
All because of Fanfire
I am… I am

I’m angry
I’m getting bored
The new fanclub just arrived, but we're still at the door
Of the place we started out from
And we want back inside

All because of U2.com
All because of TM
All because of Fanfire
I am… I am
 
LOL i am liking these parodys! we should write lyrics to all the songs and have someone record them and have an actual album going on LOL and maybe ill come up with lyrics to

Are you ganna pay for those ebay tix
Mercy (The ticket broker mix)
ticket master and broker (Gimme some more money mix)

No, unfortunately (or is it a good thing??:eyebrow: ) I am not a member of U2.com.

May I ask for the person's permission to record the song?

Intellectual Tortoise pmed me to say he/she is emailing the author to ask his permission.
