Rain down on him

Golden showers aren't possible. You couldn't heat it up to a liquid state with a typical water heater!

Spoiler

I have a feeling I'm going to be getting a lot of use out of that picture on this forum until the next album comes out.

So Jive, is that what Bono meant with "may your dreams be realized"?

 

[gvox]

Are you trying to make a joke out of people's sexual proclivities, GG?

Shame on you!

etc

I'm more disturbed by the fact that that lyric is preceded by "Sleep, sleep tonight". Insinuating that one of two persons would be asleep. That's sick man!

JT waits till you're asleep.

well sure, but I think you already answered this (non)question:

See? They really, really want it!

 

[Galeongirl]

So, this one person is going to sleep, and dreams about being on the receiving end of the golden showers, while asleep?


Damn. That's deep.

I guess "Not tonight, I'm tired and have a headache" actually meant "YES"?

It's always hard to tell with sleepyheads..

Well an orgasm is actually the best pain medication there is. The endorphins released are great painkillers. So in reality, when a woman says "not tonight honey, I have a headache", she means "Please do me, I need some painkillers".

ETA: I don't know if I can use that. I'll try one time and let you know, though!

I'm for fun and all, but I still think it's a little sad that this forum is mainly used for nonsense topics, which is a shame because there is so much stuff to discuss about the lyrics in U2 songs. Still, I find hardly any interesting or deep, thoughtful topics here. I don't want to spoil the party, I'm just saying that I think there's so much potential but so little is made of it. Why isn't there a more profound discussion going on in this forum?

I guess it has to be a mixture of boredom, end-of-tour-and-still-no-new-album-nihilism and the insanity and hystery of Christmas approaching.

this thread is awesome! made my day!

 

[LemonMelon]

Don't blame Christmas for this.

If I go by the lil page count thingy at the bottom of the page, there are no less than 1,145 posts in this particular area of the forum. Going way out on a limb here, probably 98% of them are incredible discussions about the profound nature of U2`s lyrics...so this one lil thread is likely harmless..

 

[Galeongirl]

Isn't it ironic that when people post that they don't want to do something, the remainder of their post is doing that exact thing?
