Golden showers aren't possible. You couldn't heat it up to a liquid state with a typical water heater!

So Jive, is that what Bono meant with "may your dreams be realized"?

gvox · 11-26-2011, 01:37 PM

Are you trying to make a joke out of people's sexual proclivities, GG?

Shame on you!

etc

Galeongirl · 11-26-2011, 01:45 PM

I'm more disturbed by the fact that that lyric is preceded by "Sleep, sleep tonight". Insinuating that one of two persons would be asleep. That's sick man!

gvox · 11-26-2011, 01:49 PM

JT waits till you're asleep.

See? They really, really want it!

Galeongirl · 11-26-2011, 02:03 PM

So, this one person is going to sleep, and dreams about being on the receiving end of the golden showers, while asleep?

Damn. That's deep.

gvox · 11-26-2011, 02:03 PM

I guess "Not tonight, I'm tired and have a headache" actually meant "YES"?

It's always hard to tell with sleepyheads..

Galeongirl · 11-26-2011, 02:05 PM

Well an orgasm is actually the best pain medication there is. The endorphins released are great painkillers. So in reality, when a woman says "not tonight honey, I have a headache", she means "Please do me, I need some painkillers".

ETA: I don't know if I can use that. I'll try one time and let you know, though!

I'm for fun and all, but I still think it's a little sad that this forum is mainly used for nonsense topics, which is a shame because there is so much stuff to discuss about the lyrics in U2 songs. Still, I find hardly any interesting or deep, thoughtful topics here. I don't want to spoil the party, I'm just saying that I think there's so much potential but so little is made of it. Why isn't there a more profound discussion going on in this forum?

I guess it has to be a mixture of boredom, end-of-tour-and-still-no-new-album-nihilism and the insanity and hystery of Christmas approaching.

mikal · 11-26-2011, 02:59 PM

this thread is awesome! made my day!

LemonMelon · 11-26-2011, 03:00 PM

Don't blame Christmas for this.

gvox · 11-26-2011, 03:07 PM

If I go by the lil page count thingy at the bottom of the page, there are no less than 1,145 posts in this particular area of the forum. Going way out on a limb here, probably 98% of them are incredible discussions about the profound nature of U2`s lyrics...so this one lil thread is likely harmless..
