Sexual Messages in U2's Songs

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

haha, soooo true though.

Naughty Bono, but we like it.

How could we not??

 

[Dani California]

How could we not??

True!!

 

[Bonogirl777]

 

[Anji]

Good Girl! Not enough Smut around these parts recently

 

[Galeongirl]

We've been neglecting our true selves.

Perhaps we should start taking apart the new songs then?

 

[Dani California]

Yes, lets start with the new songs

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

That'll be fun

 

[Dani California]

That'll be fun

Yeah, much fun to be had there

Now where to start?

 

[Galeongirl]

Well, track 1 for a starter?

know a girl who’s like a sea
I watch her changing every day for me
Oh yeah, oh

She changes each day, could be about clothes changes or perhaps the person is looking at her in the morning, how the sunlight changes her appearance?

One day she’s still, the next she swells
You can hear the universe in her sea shells

Already done that one.

I know a girl with a hole in her heart
She said infinity’s a great place to start
Oh

Hm, something is missing. When people are lonely and in denial because of a breakup, they get a rebound lover.

“Time is irrelevant, it’s not linear”
Then she put her tongue in my ear

Erm, time is irrelevant can mean something along the lines of we got all night. The 2nd line is pretty damn obvious!

The songs in your head are now on my mind
You put me on pause
I try to rewind, love, and replay

Hm, thinking about the other person all day. Putting on pause could be tempting the man a lot, then before engaging in the act you leave the room, and he wants to replay the moment?

Every night I have the same dream
I’m hatching some plot, scheming some scheme

Dreaming about the lover, plotting to get her.

I’m a traffic cop, Rue du Marais
The sirens are wailing
But it’s me that wants to get away
Oh

Sirens wailing, making a lot of noise.. wanting to get away, achieve a higher place aka orgasm?

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

^^Wow you're good

 

[Dani California]

^yeah you're good.

I love that bit about time is irrelevant, then she put her tongue in my ear

Great interpretations I like what you said about the wanting to get to a higher place as well

 

[Rosebud]

GG


That last one

And Bono's whoa-oh-ohh after the "tongue in my ear" part is kinda y don't you find?

 

[Galeongirl]

you're welcome guys. I'd take a bow if we had such an icon.

I think, NLOTH is very erotic in parts.

Listen to Bono's sensual moans at the NLOTH live performance they did for the BBC culture show. He's doing that directly after the "tongue in my ear" part.

 

[Bonogirl777]

And the moans at the GOYB performances at the Brit and Echo awards.

 

[Dani California]

Yes, I agree on Bono's erm, moaning...... especially on NLOTH and when done live he does it straight after the 'tongue in my ear' part ahem

Actually there is a lot of bono moaning on the new album? What is it with him and the erm, erotic sounding moaning?

Don't be too harsh if these have already been done before - I'm only a newbie here.

First up, we have Bono's obvious "kinky boots" suggestion from GOYB:

"I don’t want to talk about wars between nations... Not right now... Hey sexy boots… Get on your boots, yeah...Not right now... Bossy boots"

The lyrical sexuality then gets slightly more veiled:

"Women of the future... Hold the big revelations... I got a submarine"
(givin' yourself a bit of a rap there aren't you Bono?)

And along the same lines: "God, I’m going down... I don’t wanna drown now"

Now let me put "Magnificent" under the microscope (hey - no STD jokes):

"Only love, only love can leave such a mark" is almost TOO obvious really...

...but then there's: "my first cry it was a joyful noise"

...and my personal favourite: "you and I will magnify The Magnificent"

Give me a few minutes to study the lyrics from NLOTH and I'm sure there'll be more to come later.

 

[bonocomet]

"you and I will magnify The Magnificent"

 

[WildHoney]

You're all perverts

Excellent

Finally , someone else who thinks that"God, I'm going down, I don't want to drown now"....... has erm, sexual references .

 

[Bonoa]

The summary of U2's oeuvre is basically:

YouTube - Does Bono moan?

 

[last unicorn]

^


For the next album, there won't be any more singing, just moaning.

At least he won't have to remember any lyrics.

I couldn't listen to an album like that! I'd suddenly start suffering from high blood pressure

 

[WildHoney]

What are you going to do when he moans in front of you in August


And I definately could listen to an album like that

 

[Anji]

What are you going to do when he moans in front of you in August

Change my knickers

 

[WildHoney]

Change my knickers

You wear them??

 

[Anji]

You wear them??

 

[BEVERLY56]

What are you going to do when he moans in front of you in August

I know what I'm going to do...
