I apologise for disagreeing with the general consensus of this board.
I am apparently a "moron" and a "dumbass" and "need my IQ raised."
It feels so good to be among U2 fans, who admire a band that goes on and on about getting along, love and peace, etc.
I would say more but it would be like throwing gasoline on a submarine.
I'm under the impression that if the original poster started the thead with something such as a "Hey, wonderful gang! Say, howzabout we play a little game where we rhyme submarine and gasoline in a couplet? It's just a little fun, to give our support to a top-notch lyricist!" rather than a "oh FUCK YOU bono your lyrics are terrible" then there wouldn't be all this shit that I can't be bothered reading.

Guess I'll have a go...
"Two billion dollars spent to build a submarine
while blood is not as worth as much as gasoline"
Be kind...

I can clearly hear the words 'submarine' and 'gasoline' on seconds 10-12 from beach clip 3... anyone else?
I think I have a chorus here:
We all live in a yellow submarine,
which's running out of gasoline....
(I don't know... it remembers me something..)
one ping only
in beach clip3 in the first 10-15 seconds there's a line that seems this line.. but i'm not sure
iota i'm agree with you but only in the last 2 record beacuse i think that Pop has wonderful lyrics ...
Get on your boots it's an easy title ...
will be an easy song .. with an easy lyrics
let's listen the record for the deep lyrics..
my english is a shame ..i know
The answer is on beach clip #3: "I've got submarine, you've got gasoline..."
USA vs. Iraq?
Remember that on Get On Your Boots Bono doesn't wanna "talk about war between nations".
Laundry list lyrics to some of you, perhaps.Out of the blue out of the - -
Out of range out of striking distance
Off the wagon on the smokes
Off the canvas On the ropes
Out of sorts out of smokes
Out of laughter fear of jokes
Out of range of where you thought you might be
Daddy go home
Out of me out of you
Out of reach of rescue
Out of the reasons I left you
Out of smokes out of jokes
Out of punches on the ropes
Out of luck out of time
Out of change and at the end of the line
- - - break rhyme
Alright, I'm sorry. Bono's writing skills have been diminishing for about 3 albums now...and this is getting ridiculous. The worst line ever written in a song was:
"the air is heavy...heavy as a truck" from Electrical Storm.
It's getting on my nerves. The music is still quality, but the rest of U2 need to run a intervention on Bono and make him go back to some kind of literary boot camp and re-learn how to write evocatively. I had high hopes for this album, but the fact that he rhymed "submarine" with "gasoline" shows me that he's not even trying any more.
Disagree?
Prove me wrong then. Write an artistically excellent, intellectually stimulation couplet that rhymes "submarine" and gasoline" and I'll eat my words. It can't be done.
^ clipper that's horrid
"You can go down, a submarine,
Gonna choke on my gasoline."
