Bono's best lyrics? - Page 3

Recently while on a road trip - I listened to Pop and the words to Stay hit me like never before - it brought me back to that dark day in September.

Semptember - streets capsizing
Shards of glass spinning down the drain.......

That's not Stay.... Stay is a Zooropa song. Those lyrics are from Please.

all the songs on boy have great lyrics, i cant believe enough of the earlier stuff has been mentioned!

'Sometimes a hero takes me
Sometimes I don't let go.'

just too relevant to most us u2 fans!

i always liked the lyrics to dirty day (even though they didn't rhyme), which was played to perfection in zoo tv: sydney

Need someone to blame?
Hey, throw a rock in the air
You're bound to hit someone guilty

of course, i enjoy the song writing of the fly, running to stand still, one, please sometimes you can't make it on your own, stories for boys (which is great added in on vertigo during the tour), 40, until the end of the world, walk on, and bullet the blue sky

another forgotten song is one tree hill

The sun so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars
Carved into stone on the face of it

I've always felt the song "Drowning Man" has some of Bono's best lyrics ...

"Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can
I'll cross the sky for your love"

and of course ... that emotional chorus

"Hold on, and Hold on tightly
Hold on and don't let go of my love"

Pff so many....

Running to Stand Still
Hold me, Thrill me, Kiss me, Kill me
Please
Stay - Faraway so close

Too many to choose from although I would agree that several lines from the FLY are wicked...

I really dig his play on words in All Because Of You: "I'm not broke but you can see the cracks..."

There is something so simple yet brilliant in that set of words, always makes me smile...
