[xaviMF22]

one of the best: Electrical Storm

I'm sorry but I think that song contains one of Bono's worst lyrics "The air is heavy, heavy as a truck"
but thats your opinion and I respect it

 

[Soul Love]

The Fly and Bullet The Blue Sky

 

[YBORCITY]

I was drowning in mySorrows
My Sorrows they learned to swim
Surrounding me
Going Down on me
Spinning over the brim

In waves of regret and Waves of Joy
I reached out to the one
I tried to Destroy........

 

[Soul Love]

Well if you want to know my EXACT favourite verse


Every artist is a cannibal every poet is a thief
all kill their inspiration and sing about their grief

From the firefly a red orange glow, see the face of fear runnin scared in the valley below

 

[annie_vox]

Love Is Blindness as the most poetic.

 

[JCOSTER]

I'm sorry but I think that song contains one of Bono's worst lyrics "The air is heavy, heavy as a truck"
but thats your opinion and I respect it

[VertigoGal]

[BEVERLY56]

[tabela]

Wake Up Dead Man

 

[bombergirl1978]

Streets
Bad
Walk On
Kite
Miss Sarajevo( can I just say I so prefer Bono singing the Opera part? It gives me friggin chills everytime I hear it on the cd from the fanclub)
Pride
In God's Country
Until the End of the World


And actually my favorite lyric of all time is from a song that I don't think has the best lyrics overall.

"Can't sing, but Ive got soul. The goal, is elevation" It just represents the U2 concert experience well IMO. I can't sing worth a damn, but Ive got soul, and U2 elevates me every time I hear them

 

[Babyface_20]

Forgot one.....

A picture in grey
Dorian Gray
Just me by the sea.

And I felt like a star
I felt the world could go far
If they listened to what I said.
The sea

Washes my feet
Washes my feet
Splashes the sole of my shoes

 

[Darenka]

Stay
The Fly
Until The End of The World
Wake Up Dead Man
I also love Walk To The Water and... how could we forget ONE???
