Rest of U2 Survivor: NON-ALBUM TRACKS 00-07 - Round 1

[LemonMelon]

So does Beautiful Day. So does just about everything from that era. It comes with the territory.

Pure suck highlighted in bold.

Here today
And gone tomorrow
Crack the bone, get to the marrow
To be the bee
And the flower
Before the sweetness turns to sour

What we have we're gonna keep... always
What we've lost we don't need... always
What is it that won't let you sleep... always

Be the arrow
And the target
Put your head over the parapet
Be uncool
Yes, be awkward
And don't look in the obvious place
The soul needs beauty for a soul mate

Get down off your holy cloud... always
God will not deal with the proud... always
Well if you dream then dream out loud... always
Eternally yours... always

I want you
I want you
I want you

(Here she come)
Touching the other side
I wanted to be in love
I wanted to call
(Hey, soon soon)

You say come to know yourself... always
Don't find yourself in someone else... always
And always wear a safety belt... always
Wait for me I'm running late... always
This is the moment that we share... for always
Turn each song into a prayer... always

Now and forever
For always
For always
For always

So about half the song is lyrically terrible.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I find this vote one of the most disturbing so far...

Are people even listening to these songs or just voting based on the title?

 

[LemonMelon]

Oh, wait, forgot about rhyming "tomorrow" with "marrow". Bono's got fuckin' skills, man.

 

[Zoots]

Get down off your holy cloud... always
God will not deal with the proud... always
Well if you dream then dream out loud... always
Eternally yours... always

That's pretty terrible too!

 

[LemonMelon]

That's pretty terrible too!

Meh. Comparatively speaking, it's good. And I have a weakness for all Dream Out Loud-related lyrics.

 

[Zoots]

Total rehash! dream out loud... lol

 

[LemonMelon]

The entire song is pasted together from old lyrics, really. It's one of the laziest things Bono has ever written.

 

[pepokiss]

I think 4th of July is lazier

 

[corianderstem]

I really can't believe 6 people think Stateless is the worst song here. You might not love it, but you think it's worse than all the other ones?

Really????

 

[Zoots]

They have never even heard the song.

 

[LemonMelon]

I really can't believe 6 people think Stateless is the worst song here. You might not love it, but you think it's worse than all the other ones?

Really????

Disregard Pedokiss' vote.

 

[corianderstem]

Well, sure, but that leaves 5 other people.

 

[bono_212]

LM, if you hate those lyrics in Always, then please at least tell me you also hate Mercy.

 

[pepokiss]

Disregard Pedokiss' vote.

who the hell cares what I vote for?
or why?


even if you love stateless with all your heart... it won't win

-not enough people know it
-Fast Cars is better and catchier
-it's not TGBHF

 

[Varitek]

I'll jump on the Big Girls are Badsong bandwagon

 

[corianderstem]

Pepokiss, I'm amused by you, I promise. I don't care what you vote for, because I know you're at least halfway doing it just to get a rise out of people.

I don't expect it to win, not at all. I just have a hard time believing 5 people think it's worse than a few of these other songs. Oh well.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I'll jump on the Big Girls are Badsong bandwagon

I still say Always is a worse song...

 

[phanan]

They are both bad songs. Always will probably go next anyway.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

don't go bringing logic into this...

 

[pepokiss]

Pepokiss, I'm amused by you, I promise. I don't care what you vote for, because I know you're at least halfway doing it just to get a rise out of people.

thank you, I'll be here all week

 

[phanan]

don't go bringing logic into this...

Somebody's gotta bring some sanity into this place...
