Thank you sir! I can keep my SOE leak-proof purity intact!

So, regarding the Trafalgar Square performance... Any idea what kind of set they're playing? I see they're being given an MTV award, and I'm wondering, are they just going to play one song (E.g.Best Thing or Get Out), or is this a whole show (or a mini show etc)?

I’m hoping they play at least one other SOE song that we haven’t heard.

Keeping one finger on the refresh button...
Is David guetta on before or after u2? Says the gig starts at 7 and ends at 10.
Would think that it's just guetta and u2 as there would be time needed to switch the set around.
Think the super fan winners have to be there for 3pm and doors open at 5 for everyone else

I think we know what U2 will be playing. Elevation, Vertigo, IWF, Get out, Best thing, and maybe Blackout.
rennowba, check your PM's.
This is literally one of the worst U2 lyrics of all time, what the fuck are you talking about. This is "butter on toast" material. To protect the ones? We put bullets in guns? Seriously? This from the dude who gave us ASOH? Fuck the fuck off.

Trafalgar Square has been closed to the public all week, building a big stage set, I doubt they'd go to all trouble for the one song.
As if they wouldn't play Beautiful Day.

Thanks! That sounds good. I miraculously managed to bag tickets, so I'll report back if they play anything new/unheard.
Should be good fun!

I’ll say:
Vertigo
Beautiful Day
Elevation
One
Pride
You’re the Best Thing
Get out of your own way
Blackout

Meh, I personally find lines like "tonight, we'll build a bridge across the sea and land" and "I'll be there, I'll be there tonight" to be terribly cliché. I do enjoy the song, but I by no means place it in the pantheon of all time great lyrics.

Out of context like that, then yeah.
However I find the entire lyric of ASOH incredibly evocative. It's just gorgeous.
For me, lyrically speaking, TUF is their high watermark.
I wouldn't bother. When someone disagrees with Axver his take on lyrics, he immediately defaults to "fuck off".
I agree that some of the lyrics on ASOH are just as cliché and cringeworthy. "Dislocated, suffocated, the land grows weary of its own" Seriously? Come on now.

My comment was more to do with your need to bash someone in all of your posts.
Get over it.

Yeah, funny how you don't apply your standard to the guy who told someone to "fuck the fuck off" by simply stating that he liked a lyric in Winter.

But you haven’t answered how it’s cringeworthy. I mean you probably chose one of the best examples of what was great about Bono’s writing at that time, so it makes me wonder if you don’t get it or you just HAD to pick a line from axver’s favorite song?
