I'm very bored right now and furthermore: why not? :tongue:

Some of mine are:
Take the colours of my imagination
Take the scent hanging in the air,
Take this tangle of a conversation
And turn it into your own prayer


.....not the only one who's happy to go blind.....


The more you take the less you feel
The less you have the more you believe
The more you have the more it takes today


The moon was naked and cold I was like a two year old
Who just wanted..more

It's okay....the struggle for things not to say
I never listened to you anyway
And I got my own hands to pray
 
I see a pattern in this forum ;)


I love if you wear that velvet dress Tonight the moon is a mirrorball
Light flickers from across the hall
Who'll catch the star when it falls

MOFO- mother mother sucking rooooocccck n roooooooooolllllll :D :D :D

Take the colours of my imagination
Take the scent hanging in the air
Take this tangle of a conversation
And turn it into your own prayer :drool:
 
fave lines in pop as follows:

-BOOM-cha!!!!!
-Discotheque!!!!
-if God will send his angellllssss
-and a fcuked up world it is too....
-i'm not comin down

:D :D :D :D

From If You Wear That Velvet Dress:

Peace.
 
Okay...

I haven't heard this full album yet, but I have heard a few songs, so I'll share my favorite lyrics from what I've heard thus far:

I like the whole "Boom-cha" thing from "Discotheque" as well (I get such a kick out of that video)

As for the other songs:

If You Wear That Velvet Dress:

Tonight the moon has drawn its curtains
It's a private show
No one else going to know
I'm wanting

Please:

So you never knew love
Until you crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted
'Til you had someone slap your face
So you never felt alive
Until you'd almost wasted away

Staring At The Sun:

Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me

Over me and over you
Stuck together with God's glue
It's going to get stickier, too
It's been a long, hot summer
Let's get under cover
Don't try too hard to think
Don't think at all

If God Will Send His Angels:

Nobody else here, baby
No one here to blame
No one to point the finger
It's just you and me and the rain

I also like...

And the love
What's that you say to me?
Does love
Light up your Christmas tree?

Angela
 
"You change your name
Well it's okay, it's necessary
And what you leave behind you don't miss anyway"

"You hurt yourself
You hurt your lover
And then you discover
What you thought was freedom is just greed"

As you can see, I really like Gone. The lyrics from DYFL, SATS, Please, and IYWTVD are great too.
 
You're taking steps that make you feel dizzy
Then you learn to like the way it feels...


-GONE




Mother, am I still your son?
You know I've waited so long to hear you say so
Mother, you left and made me someone
Now I'm still a child, no one tells me NO


-MOFO

:heart:
 
Gone:
You hurt yourself you hurt your lover
Then you discover
What you thought was freedom is just greed

Staring at the Sun:
There's an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won't disappear
It's going to itch and burn and sting
You want to see what the scratching brings
Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace
'Cause those that can't do
Often have to
And those that can't do
Often have to preach

:heart: :heart: :heart:
 
Love is big, its bigger than us
but love is not what your thinking of..........


so good!
 
The lyrics to Please and Wake Up, Dead Man are unbelievable!

You had to win, you couldn't just pass,
The smartest ass, at the top of the class,
Your flying colours, your family tree,
And all your lessons in history.

Please, please, please, get up off your knees!

-----

Jesus, Jesus help me,
I'm alone in this world,
And a fucked up world it is too.
Tell me, tell me the story,
The one about eternity,
And the way it's all gonna be


I also love

"Love... what's that you say to me? Will love light up your Christmas Tree?"

and countless others that would take AGES to list (see my reply to the ATYCLB lyrics section for an example!)
 
Here's a few more:

"Please":

'Cause you, my love
I could never believe

I love how he sings that part, I love how they end the song that way...it's kinda eerie, but cool.

"Discotheque":

You know you're chewing bubblegum
You know what that is
But you still want some
You just can't get enough
Of that lovey-dovey stuff

Yeah, I know those lyrics seem kinda silly to some people, but...it's fun to sing to, I like this part.

And this as well:

You're looking for the one
But you know you're somewhere else instead
You want to be the song
Be the song that you hear in your head

But you take what you can get
'Cause it's all that you can find
But you know there's something more
Tonight, tonight, tonight

And I've got one more, but I gotta go now, so I'll post it later.

Angela
 
And as promised, here's the other one (I also thought of a part from another song I want to add as well):

"Gone":

You wanted to get somewhere so badly
You had to lose yourself along the way
You change your name, well, that's okay, it's necessary
And what you leave behind you don't miss anyway

and

'Cause I'm already gone
Felt that way all along
Closer to you every day
I didn't want it that much anyway

You're taking steps that make you feel dizzy
Then you learn to like the way it feels
You hurt yourself, you hurt your lover
Then you discover
What you thought was freedom is just greed

And the other one I want to add:

"Mofo":

Mother, am I still your son?
You know I've waited for so long to hear you say so
Mother, you left and made me someone
Now I'm still a child, no one tells me no

I can't believe I forgot to mention the lyrics of "Gone"! They are some of U2's best! :)
 
Looking for to save my save my soul
Looking in the places where no flowers frow
Looking for to fill that God shaped hole
Mother... mothafucking rock and roll

Holy dunc space junk comming in for the splash
Wh-wh-wh-white dopes on punk staring into the flash
Looking for the baby Jesus under the trash
Mother... mothafucking rock and roll
 
I have to agree on "Gone"


You get to feel so guilty
Got so much for so little
Then you find that feeling
Just won't go away

You're holding on to every little thing so tightly
'Til there's nothing left for you anyway

Goodbye...
You can keep this suit of lights
I'll be up with the sun
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down

You wanted to get somewhere so badly
You had to lose yourself along the way
You change your name, well that's okay, it's necessary
And what you leave behind you don't miss anyway

'Cause I'm already gone
Felt that way all along
Closer to you every day
I didn't want it that much anyway

You're taking steps that make you feel dizzy
Then you learn to like the way it feels
You hurt yourself you hurt your lover
Then you discover
What you thought was freedom is just greed

Goodbye...
And it's emotional
Good night...
I'll be up with the sun
You're still holding on
I'm not coming down

Gone...sun...time...sun...
Gone...sun....gone...sun...
Sun...
 
and also this part from "Wake up dead man"

Jesus, were you just around the corner
Did You think to try and warn her
Or are you working on something new
If there's an order in all of this disorder
Is it like a tape recorder
Can we rewind it just once more
 
I think POP is one of the best albums lyrically

I love the lyrics of Please, Gone, Staring at the Sun ....
(god there are so many great lines in other songs too ...)
 
I love all the lyrics to Please, Wake up dead man, Staring at the sun.....gone.....even Velvet Dress.

that really was an amazing album even with all the crazy reviews, but who cares about reviews right?(ah those critics!!:mad: )
 
Yeah I hate the way people moan about POP!

It's a flamin' great album that doesn't get half the credit it deserves.

"She hasn't been to bed in a week, she'll be dead soon then she'll sleep" - contribution from 'Last Night on Earth'.

Bah, critics suck. I never listen to 'em. I may read some of their reviews just to see what they personally thought about a movie or a CD or whatever, but then I wind up seeing the movie or listening to the CD on my own. And a lot of times, what they hate I like and vice versa. Very few times out there I can think of in which I'd agree with a critic on what they say.

Pop is a great album. I'd say it's in my top 5 U2 albums...there are NO songs on there that I hate. None.

I have a little too much free time today so here's something from every song...

Discotheque-
Want to be the song be the song you hear in your head

Do You Feel Loved-
And it looks like the sun but it feels like rain

Mofo-
Lookin' for to fill that God shaped hole

White dopes on punk staring into the flash

Lookin for the father of my two little girls
(Breaks my heart when I think about it too much...)

IGWSHA-
Does love...light up your Christmas tree?
The next minute you're blowing a fuse
And the cartoon network turns into the news


SATS-
Summer stretching on the grass...summer dresses pass

Intransigence is all around...military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties...Daddy just won't say good-bye
Referee won't blow the whistle
God is good but will he listen
I'm nearly great but there's something missing
I left it in the duty free
Though you never really belonged to me


LNOE-
The more you take the less you feel
The less you know the more you believe
The more you have the more it takes today

She knows just what it's worth
She's living like it's the last night on earth

She hasn't been to bed in a week
She'll be dead soon, then she'll sleep


Gone-
Insert entire song here

Miami-
I said you looked like a madonna

MIAMI!!!!!
(FUN to yell along with him!!)

The Playboy Mansion-
I never bought a lotto ticket
I never parked in anyone's space
The banks they're like cathedrals
I guess casinos took their place

Chance is a kind of religion
Where you're damned for plain hard luck


IYWTVD-
Insert entire song here

Please-
September, streets capsizing, spilling over and down the drain
Shards of glass, splinters like rain, but you could only feel your own pain
October, talk getting nowhere
November
December
Remember
Are we just starting again?


WUDM-
Listen to the words they'll tell you what to do
Listen to the rhythm that's confusing you
Listen to tge reed in the saxophone
Listen to the hum over the radio
Listen to the sounds over blades in rotation
Listen through the traffic and circulation
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
Listen over marching bands playing out their time

If there's an order in all of this disorder
Is it like a tape recorder?
Can we rewind it just once more


Okay, I'm done. :D
