MTV, what have you done to me...
Save my soul, set me free...

Bono's shades said:I think it has better lyrics.
"The black mirror knows no reflection
It knows not pride or vanity
It cares not about your dreams
It cares not for your pyramid schemes
Their names are never spoken
The curse is never broken
The curse is never broken"
"Mirror, mirror on the wall
Show me where them bombs will fall"
"Every night my dream’s the same
Same old city with a different name"
"The same city where I go when I sleep
Can’t swim across a river so deep"
"Stop now before it's too late
Been eating in the ghetto on a hundred dollar plate"
"You change all the lead
sleepin' in my head to gold,
as the day grows dim,
I hear you sing a golden hymn,
the song I've been trying to sing.
Purify the colors, purify my mind.
Purify the colors, purify my mind,
and spread the ashes of the colors
in this heart of mine."
"And the power's out in the heart of man,
take it from your heart put in your hand.
And there's something wrong in the heart of man,
Take it from your heart and put it in your hand!"
"Time keeps creepin' through the neighborhood,
killing old folks, wakin' up babies
just like we knew it would. "
"They say a watched pot won't ever boil...
Well I closed my eyes and nothing changed...
Just some water getting hotter...
In the flames..."
"It's not a lover I want no more,
and it's not heaven I'm pining for,
but there's some spirit I used to know,
that's been drowned out by the radio"
"They say a watched pot won't ever boil,
you can't raise a baby on motor oil,
just like a seed down in the soil
you gotta give it time."
"They say it fades if you let it,
love was made to forget it.
I carved your name across my eyelids,
you pray for rain...I pray for blindness."
"Somethin' filled up
my heart with nothin',
someone told me not to cry.
But now that I'm older,
my heart's colder,
and I can see that it's a lie.
Children wake up,
hold your mistake up,
before they turn the summer into dust.
If the children don't grow up,
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We're just a million little god's causin rain storms turnin' every good thing to
rust."
"I like the peace
in the backseat,
I don't have to drive,
I don't have to speak,
I can watch the country side,
and I can fall asleep.
My family tree's
losing all its leaves,
crashing towards the driver's seat,
the lightning bolt made enough heat
to melt the street beneath your feet.
Alice died
in the night,
I've been learning to drive.
My whole life,
I've been learning."

Not Only that, they're the second most PLAYED artist of last week, behind the Beatles, even though It shows they are 6th (Number of listeners Vs Tracks Played)

Mentioned before, but who cares - those songs are incredible.

Good, I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I the way that Antichrist just ends... No fade out, nothing just a screeching halt...
I find that incredibly refreshing...
elevated_u2_fan said:I'm coming late to this discussion so forgive me if this has already been mentioned (I'm too lazy to check ) but does anyone else notice the "Springsteen-esque" sound of Keep The Car Running and Antichrist Television Blues?
