Great ones for each album:
Boy:
Into the heart:
Into the heart, into the heart of a child
I can't go back
I can't stay awhile.
October:
October and kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on
And on.
War:
Sunday bloody sunday:
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won?
The Unforgettable Fire:
And if the mountains should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear, no not I.
Bad:
To let it go and so to find away.
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, wide awake
I'm not sleeping
The Joshua Tree:
Where the streets have no name:
The city's a flood, and our love turns to rust.
With or without you:
My hands are tied, my body bruised
She got me with nothing to win
And nothing else to lose.
Running to stand still:
She will suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand still.
Trip through your wires:
Angel, angel or devil?
I was thirsty
And you wet my lips.
Rattle and Hum
Desire:
She's the candle burnin' in my room
Yeah, I'm like the needle
The needle and spoon
Achtung Baby:
Zoo Station:
Time is a train
Makes the future the past
Leaves you standing in the station
Your face pressed up against the glass
One:
One life with each other: sisters, brothers.
The Fly:
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success.
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief;
All kill their inspiration and sing about the grief.
So Cruel:
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust we are trampled underfoot.
Acrobat:
And don't let the bastards grind you down.
Love is blindness:
In a parked car, in a crowded street
You see your love made complete.
Thread is ripping, the knot is slipping
Love is blindness.
Zooropa:
Lemon:
He turns his money into light to look for her.
Stay:
Red lights, grey morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground.
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around.
The Wanderer:
I went out walking through streets paved with gold
Lifted some stones, saw the skin and bones
Of a city without a soul
Pop:
Mofo:
Mother, you left and made me someone.
Now I'm still a child, but no one tells me no.
Gone:
You're taking steps that make you feel dizzy
Then you learn to like the way it feels.
You hurt yourself, you hurt your lover
Then you discover
What you thought was freedom is just greed.
Please:
September, streets capsizing
Spilling over down the drains
Shard of glass, splinters like rain
But you could only feel your own pain.
All that you can't leave behind:
Kite:
I'm not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to live
And when I'm flat on my back
I hope to feel like I did
How to dismantle an atomic bomb:
Vertigo:
Lights go down, it's dark
The jungle is your head
Can't rule your heart
A feeling is so much stronger than
A thought
Your eyes are wide
And though your soul
It can't be bought
Your mind can wander
All because of you:
I'm alive
I'm being born
I just arrived, I'm at the door
Of the place I started out from
And I want back inside
No line on the horizon:
Moment of surrender:
I've been in every black hole
At the altar of the dark star
My body's now a begging bowl
That's begging to get back, begging to get back
To my heart
To the rhythm of my soul
To the rhythm of my unconsciousness
To the rhythm that yearns
To be released from control
I was speeding on the subway
Through the stations of the cross
Every eye looking every other way
Counting down 'til the pain would stop
Unknown Caller:
I was right there at the top of the bottom
On the edge of the known universe where I wanted to be
Fez-Being Born:
Lights... flash past...
Like memories
A speeding head, a speeding heart
I'm being born, a bleeding start
The engines roar, blood curling wail
Head first then foot
Then heart sets sail
White as snow:
Of course there's many more.
The road refuses strangers
The land the seeds we sow
Where might we find the lamb as white as snow
Breathe:
I've found grace inside a sound
I found grace, it's all that I found
And I can breathe
Breathe now
