U2 Knowledge 2: Finish The Song Lyric Then Add Another.

[celia]

lol well I was trying to trick ppl with a Christmas song I like this thread...Even if we are the only 2 posting in it This is a great game...makes u remember all the good lyrics!!!

Ringing for this land
I believe in the cells of Mount Joy
Doesn't understand

And, and you can go there too
And, and you can go go go go


Next:

Why did you promise me sweetheart
Never to leave me alone

 

[Hoodlem]

Yesterdays sunshine is fading
Your love wasn't true like my own




Next:
A lens to see the world up close
Magnifying what heaven knows

 

[filledeperle]

Never in company
Never alone
No car alarm
No cellular phone


You wrote the letter
Said you were gonna get there someday

 

[celia]

Gonna walk in the sun
And the wind and the rain
Never walk back again

NEXT:

In the stillness of the evening
When the sun has had its day

 

[Hanover]

I heard your voice a-whispering
Come away child

New York, New York.

I am so delighted that it was you that posted last Celia. And it appears we've even managed to 'rope' in some more U2 fans, so thank you. I am actually quite surprised that both the threads I posted have lasted so long, I honestly thought that they might last a week. How wrong I was! I've never been to America, but oneday I'd love to visit New York and oddly enough Nevada!

This one ought not to be that difficult:
Like oxygen

Guestbook

 

[celia]

I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)

Good song!!

NEXT: (easy!)

Innocence dragged across a yellow line

 

[Flaming Friar Sr]

these are the hands

next:

goodbye

 

[celia]

goodbye

very funny, there's loads of songs with Goodbye in them...

I'll just take the most obvious...

Takes a second to say goodbye say goodbye...

NEXT:

I want to run, she's pulling me apart

 

[Hoodlem]

Fallen Angel cries and I just melt away
She's a mystery to me



Next:
"We watched as he watched us get back on the bus..."

 

[celia]

I watched there it was.
The way it was there.
He was with us.
And I really don't mind sleeping on the floor.
I can't sleep after what I saw.
I wrote this letter to tell you,
The way I feel.
I wish you were here.
To see what I could see, and hear.
I wish you were here.


Next:

See their tears in the rainfall

 

[Hanover]

That song is so very sad. Yet, it is designed so as one cannot ignore it and anyone with a conscience understands just how much suffering and atrocities actually occur in this world.

Midnight, our sons and daughters
Were cut down and taken from us
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat

(You have a terrific knowledge of U2's songs Celia...and I am taking it 'EASY' if you get my drift...can't say for sure that I'll remain doing so for long...I look forward to your next post!)

Here's my next lyric:
It's beautiful and so are you...

This song is not a U2 original but they guy's have played in as a cover many times. I'm being awkward now!

 

[filledeperle]

Hanover, I think you're being too awkward with this!
Can you give some more hints? Good ones?

Don't kill the thread!

Perle

 

[Good Voice]

Dear Prudence?

Okay if that's right then what's this next line?

Started a landslide in my ego......

 

[Hoodlem]

"...looked from the outside to the world I left behind"



Next:
"I want to see and I want to hear..."

 

[celia]

To understand your fears
But we?re north and south of the river

NEXT:

She turned my head around

 

[Hanover]

Turned my head around
She is the speedway
She is the slipstream
She is coming 'round

Another great choice Celia

I apologise filledperle, it wasn't my intentions to kill this thread, far from it, I can't believe it's run for so long and I'd like to thank you guys and girls for making that a reality.

Good Voice, congrats, Dear Prudence, it most definitely was and I overstepped the mark perhaps, by including cover versions.

Here's the next lyric:
The last of the rocks stars...

Please sign. Thanks

 

[filledeperle]

Hey, no biggie. I knew you didn't want to end it, but I got a bit nervous watching this thread go further down the list and almost onto page 2.

I'm glad that the thread still going, 'cause I'm enjoying it.
Thanks for starting it!

OK, here we go:


When hip hop drove the big cars
In the time when new media
Was the big idea
That was the big idea


Yes, if I know the truth about you...

Perle

 

[celia]

And in the daylight
A blackbird makes a violent sight
And when she is done
She sleeps beside the one


Great song! love it......

NEXT:

You say it's love, it's not the money

 

[Hanover]

You let them suck your life out like honey
Turning tricks, you're on the street
Selling your kisses so bittersweet

Nice one Celia, story of my life, being in many hotel rooms and know what heartbreak is.

Next one:
Is there a time for different colours

Please sign

 

[celia]

Different names you find it hard to spell

I love Miss Sarajevo BEAUTIFUL song!

NEXT:

You don't know if it's fear or desire

 

[filledeperle]

Danger the drug that takes you higher
Head in heaven, fingers in the mire


Say it's true it's true...

Perle

 

[Good Voice]

Say it's true it's true
we can break through
though torn in two
we can be one

I, I will begin again.................

Luv that song.

Righteehooo...........

How about,

Treasure just to look upon it

 

[celia]

Oh Beautiful choice...this is one of my favourite love songs in the world!!!

All the riches in the night

You say you'll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

NEXT:

Your skin is white but you think you're a brother

 

[Schmeg]

Some days are better than others



Big girl with a sweet tooth

(Edited because the first lyric I chose was 2 posts up! )

 

[bonocrazy88]

Miami

Watches the skinny girl in the photo shoot....
Freshmen squeaky clean
She tastes of chlorine
Miami, my mammy




The seed is spilled....

 

[Hanover]

the bed defiled
For you, a virgin bride
Hide yourself in someone else
Don't find yourself in me...

I'm so impressed, some of these lyrics bring back great memories, what a fabulous anthology of timeless songs U2 have amassed.

Here's the next one:
I'll cross the world for green and gold...

Please sign this for me. Thanks all.

 

[Good Voice]

But it's those Spanish eyes That get me home

Sheer class!

How's about...........

Walk, walk, walk, to the water...........

 

[celia]

Walk with me a while
Walk, walk, walk...to the roadside
Walk me in the light

Beautiful song! walk to the water

NEXT:

I feel like I must be your best friend

 

[Good Voice]

You're looking fine, so fine, oh my
Dressed up like a lovely day, oh
Babyface, babyface

God, I'm good. I think.
