Something really bugging me about Ultra Violet...

[StormierZiggy]

Ok, now as you know, if you read my Opinion Of A Young Teenage Fan topic a week back, I absolutely adore Ultra Violet.

However, one thing about it is really annoying me. Y'know the bit where Bono is doing his falsetto thingy, and Edge is saying SOMETHING that sounds like "oh to brighter days" or w/e, well its not listed on ANY of the dozen lyrics sights I checked. Any of you U2 boffins here know the lyrics?

 

[Rosebud]

Sorry I don't know, I just love that you used the word "boffins".

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I didn't hear Edge sing anything in UV.

Great song though.

 

[StormierZiggy]

Hehe, fair does, fair does. Well, see after the "I know its the price of love" verse, then chorus, after that it kind breaks into a bit where bono goes- "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" basically, and edge seems to be saying "oh to brighter daaaays" or summin.

I would give the exact timing of the track, but my twonkish media player tells me the time left in the track til its done, not the time elapsed

 

[el_milagro]

Edge sings: Ultravioleeeeeeeeeeeeet....

Great song, hoping to finally listen it live in the next tour.

 

[Scorpionac]

I always thought it was 'Ultraviolet raaaaaaaaay'.

Maybe I'm wrong. That does sound kinda silly written down.

 

[BVS]

He's singing "Ultraviolet Light"

Hence the title...

 

[Unknown Caller]

I never could figure out if it was "Ultraviolet liiiiiiight" or "Ultraviolet raaaaaay".

I've always assumed it was "light" because of the song title. And in concert Edge seems to say "light".

listen for yourself:

YouTube - U2 - Ultraviolet

 

[MrPryck2U]

He's singing "Ultraviolet Light"

Hence the title...

 

[david]

Bono doesn't mean to bug ya

 

[cobl04]

I always thought he was singing "ultraviolet maaaaaaaan" that's what I've always taken it as. It and the "baby baby baby baby" times two fucking million are only what take away from it as a song for me

 

[Zoots]

I think I used to sing it as "ultraviolet babe".

 

[Mr. Millennium]

I always thought he was singing "ultraviolet love."

 

[xtrmx]

He's singing Ultravioleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm almost positive it's ultravioleeeeeeeeeet liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

"Baby, baby, baby"
"Baby, baby, baby"
"Light my way"

 

[BrandonLee722]

I think I used to sing it as "ultraviolet babe".

hahaha yeah me too.

I think its Ultraviolet Ray... maybe.

Can't be sure

 

[Zoots]

I wonder what an ultraviolet babe looks like.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I wonder what an ultraviolet babe looks like.

A babe surrounded by rays of light.

 

[BrandonLee722]

A babe surrounded by rays of light.

Sounds about right

Whats an ultraviolet ray look like?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Sounds about right

Whats an ultraviolet ray look like?

A ray of light.

Sometimes I feel like I don't know
Sometimes I feel like checkin' out
I wanna get it wrong
Can't always be strong
And love it won't be long...

Oh sugar, don't you cry
Oh child, wipe the tears from your eye
You know I need you to be strong
And the day is as dark as the night is long
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean
I'm in the black, can't see or be seen

Baby, baby, baby...light my way
(Alright now)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way

You bury your treasure
Where it can't be found
But your love is like a secret
That's been passed around
There is a silence that comes to our house
Where no one can sleep
I guess it's the price of love
I know it's not cheap

(Oh, come on)
Baby, baby, baby... light my way
(Oh come on)
Baby, baby, baby... light my way

Ultraviolet love / (baby)
Ultraviolet love / (love)
Ultraviolet love / (babe)
Ultraviolet love

Oh baby, baby, baby... light my way
I remember
When we could sleep on stones
Now we lie together
In whispers and moans
When I was all messed up
And I had opera in my head
Your love was a light bulb
Hanging over my bed

Baby, baby, baby... light my way
(Oh come on)
Baby, baby, baby... light my way

Ultraviolet love
Ultraviolet love
Ultraviolet love
Ultraviolet love

Baby, baby, baby...
Baby, baby, baby...
Baby, baby, baby... light my way, yeah
Baby, baby, baby...
Baby, baby, baby...
Baby, baby, baby... light my way
Baby, baby, baby...
Baby, baby, baby...
Baby, baby, baby... light my way

Baby, baby, baby... light my way



Hope this helps

 

[BrandonLee722]

A ray of light.

OOOOoooOOOooo That explains everything

 

[BrandonLee722]

It really does not sound like he is saying "love"

 

[MMP]

^I'm pretty sure he is

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yeah, I always thought it was "Ultraviolet loooooooooove"

 

[BrandonLee722]

^I'm pretty sure he is

he probably is... but I still sing Babe haha

 

[U2DMfan]

He's just singing Ultraviolet sustaining the 5th syllable (leeett..)

100%

 

[MMP]

Guess that's another big mystery of life then.
