last unicorn said:^It might be Bono's subconscious coming through. Hasn't he said that he somehow avoided writing songs about Africa because he felt this isn't stuff for music? So maybe when he can write about it only when he's drunk. Or the others tolerate it only when they are drunk.
OK, then I would LOVE to hear the "drunk" lyrics.Varitek said:
No, the drunk lyrics had very little to do with poverty or Africa. They added those parts later and took out some of the nonsensical drunk parts (but left in "mouth full of teeth"....). Watch the DVD that came with Bomb.
