'Smile'

[Aygo]

As for "One Step Closer," you have to listen to it to appreciate its beauty. I thought it was dull the first few times I heard it, but then it hit me. Listen to it with headphones. It almost sounds like there's a ukelele in the background, among many other layers of sound. The imagery in the lryics is amazing, too.

Well, in fact I think it's "God knows it, knows me, knows me, knoes me"...

...tosey/nosey

Well, yeah, my friend obviously couldn't make it through the typical "Bono-guise".... Though listening to the song again, I wouldn't be surprised if he were right! But reading the lyrics, they are just the way you described it. Mind you, I also had to read the lyrics to figure it out...and the lyrics aren't always correct either!

And Rachel D, I couldn't agree with you more.

Don't worry, mate... I too use sometimes the Bonoglese tactic when I forgot the lyrics or when I didn't learned them yet...

haha, tactic, hey? Luckily for my ego's sake (as it is rather fragile), my friend was the one who wrote that "nosey, nosey, tosy" was "cute" - not me!! I simply copy and pasted his entire reply.

Ok, good for you... I think there's nothing wrong with using the same thing Bono does when you don't know the lyrics... I think everybody does it, even a child that don't know how to say something properly...

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Yes, I know, I was being facetious with my ego comment... I do it too sometimes. For example, I had thought the lyrics were (and I might have been right) "I'm leaving on the day of the dead...I will live again" not, "I'm leaving on the day of the day...I will live again" I like the former line better, and there are some versions of the lyrics that have it as the former. You just can never tell with Bono!

LOL that's more or less the spirit... yeah!
