Maybe you just need to experiment a little more - you know, get creative!
What I'm saying is, it's not a well known and popular act or well known enough to become a pop culture reference in the word 'kneel'

As far as someone else doing it, shit, someone else has probably done just about everything, so you can't say anything has never been done. But it's too obscure to use as a reference in a song. The poetic reference in a song for this is 'sitting on the face.;

and biff, it's this smiley

any phrase related to being "on your knees" has always been a reference to oral sex, whether you are actually ON your knees or not.

to clarify, i don't mean when a song is about praying or whatever. i mean when it's about sex, being on your knees is an oral sex reference.

This reminds of that song by The Rotters (featuring Johnny Condom on drums), entitled "Sit on My Face Stevie Nicks".
Does anyone else remember that? Now THAT was poetry!

Kimmy, to please you...

Sit on my face and tell me that you love me
I'll sit on your face and tell you I love you too
I love to hear you o-ra-lise
When I'm between your thighs
You blow me away.

Sit on my face and let my lips embrace you
I'll sit on your face and then I'll love you truly
Life can be fine if we both sixty nine
If we sit on our faces
In all sorts of places
And play till we're blown away.

Muff diving works with the man kneeling in front of a woman, of course it does. It is a highly erotic position, anyone who says different has led a very sheltered life. It certainly does it for me, one of my favourites!

From "Big Girls Are Best":

As long as the night is coloured blue and black
Oh yeah yeah yeah
As long as you’re on your knees and she’s not on her back
Oh yeah yeah yeah

Whatever the original inspiration for the song was I’m sure that Bono has changed it by now.

Well personally I love OOTS and always believed it to be a love song. Honestly the topic of oral sex never crossed my mind when I first heard the kneeling part. Hey to each their own with how it's interpreted! lol. As for that poem,hmmm very interesting,hehe.

"i kneel cause i want you some more" is kinda, sorta similar to the "on your knees, boy" line in mysterious ways. definitely both erotic references in my opinion.

this thread is highly entertaining.

I see any kneeling references on Bomb as being about praying - in this case praying for Holly to stay the same person.

Well, Bono said it himself: "I eroticized it." If the lyric "And I kneel / cos' I want you some more" isn't the erotic part, then which part is?
