When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the eye of the clock
As it's standing against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the rain drops
When the summer shower's through
So a voice within me
Keeps revealing you...you


Night and day
You are the one
Only you beneath the moon
And under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, baby, where you are
I think of you
Night and day


Day and night
Why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic gloom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Night and day


Night and day
Under the hide of me
Though such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me
This torment won't be through
'til you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night
Night and day


Night and day
Under the hide of me
Oh, such a hungry yearning
Burning, burning inside of me
This torment won't be through
'til you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night
Night and day


Night and day
Night and day
Night and day
Night, night, night and day
Night and day
Night, night and day
Night and day
 
Love this song. Very atmospheric and dark.
 
love the cole porter version, and i love love love the u2 version. very dark and sexy.

the first time i heard this song was on the first mixed tape my high school bf gave me right when we started seeing each other. he was a u2 freak too. good memories associated with this song.

:drool:
 
Best nonalbum track from the 90's.....

nope. Second best after "Hold Me Thrill Me...." Amazing track though, I love how U2 turns it into some disgustingly creepy ballad......especially the video with the razor. Heh.
 
I like to sum up this track & its video in 5 words:
Hot, hot, hot Damn!, hot!! :combust: :D

Definately up there on my list of sexiest B-man vocals, ever. :up: :heart:
 
I've never heard their original cover, only the remix from the "One" single. Can anyone YouSendIt for myself and anyone else who needs it?
 
Thanks!

So when exactly was this song recorded? It sounds more like Achtung era U2 than JT, but there's no way they could have recorded it in Berlin during the initial Achtung sessions and gotten it out onto the compilation that quickly...right?

Yep, it was recorded between Rattle and Hum and Achtung Baby.. around 1990 if i remember right - for Red, Hot and Blue album - Cole Porter songs covered by a variety of bands - good album actually. Each song then had a video which were then shown on a special Red hot and blue program on TV, again all around 1990. Would love to see the video again if anyone has it?
