The only thing is, I don't really get what any of the songs are about!
Zooropa - not really sure, except disorientation
Babyface - Lusting after someone through the TV, sounds kind of pornographic
Numb - well, basically just being numb about everything, possibly about the future
Lemon - it is a reference to his mother, but don't know too much. Lot of Lemon lovers here, someone should know.
Stay - as others have said, a woman in an abusive relationship and her guardian angel as well (or maybe I am just getting that from the movie and video)
Daddy's Gonna Pay... - always wondered about this, though if you think that Daddy may be God, it becomes very interesting. Bono wanted to give the lyrics to John Lee Hooker for a Blues song, but they recorded it instead as Industrial Blues
Some Days... - well, it is as the title says. Kinda moronic lyrics
First Time - about the Holy Trinity. Lover = Holy Spirit. Brother = Jesus. Father = God. Bono wrote this one for Al Green originally as a Gospel song.
Dirty Day - it has something to do with Bukowski. Not really sure
The Wanderer - perfect lyrics for Johnny Cash as it is all about the search for God but in a very earthy, almost violent, way
Great album overall, glad you got it before Pop, which I also enjoy by the way.
