Snooker hall...

[FallingStar]

Earth sky sea and rain
Is she coming back again
Men of straw, snooker hall
Words that build or destroy


Did you hear 'snooker hall' in Promenade? I just looked it up and on u2.com it says that, but I thought Bono would sing 'men if straw, sneek a whore'. I'd have bet everything that it is 'sneek a whore'.......

Am I the only thick one here?

That definition seems to answer it, Khanada! Sounds like a pool hall.
