u2.com - wrong lyrics?!

[pgv]

A few weeks ago I was looking through the lyrics page on u2.com and I was looking at the 'stories for boys' lyrics.
Apparently it goes like so..

Sometimes when a hero takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Oh, oh, oh.

I'm almost certain its not 'oh,oh,oh' but 'hello,hello.' I have listened to it thousands of times and I'm sure I'm right and they are wrong. Even all my live versions of the song have Bono quite clearly saying 'hello,hello.' Anyway I emailed u2.com to tell them and got a barrage of confusing emails basically telling me I'm wrong.

Am I?!

 

[U2girl]

It is "hello hello".

 

[GibsonGirl]

A lot of the lyrics at U2.com are wrong. Hell, U2.com on the whole is just wrong.

 

[pgv]

those bastards feeding us false information..KNEW i was right!

 

[Utoo]

He also usually sings "Sometimes a hero takes me," not "Sometimes when a hero takes me."

Yeah, so much of what's on u2.com is wrong! They've even gotten song titles wrong-----including "Running To Stand Still," which lately has been listed as "Running To Standstill."

 

[Axver]

I never knew U2 had songs called "Still Haven't Found" or "Pride in the name of love" until I checked U2.com. Am I missing an album?

 

[catlhere]

Don't forget the classic 'Running To Standstill', as well as the haunting 'The Hands That Build America'

[DreamOutLoud13]

Musn't forget "Orignal of The Species".

And months ago in the news, when they announced the final tour date in "Honolulu, Hawai".

 

[WalkOn21]

Yeah, so much of what's on u2.com is wrong! They've even gotten song titles wrong-----including "Running To Stand Still," which lately has been listed as "Running To Standstill."

Another day at U2 HQ, IT room...

Website Geek 1: boring, sitting here, eh?
Website Geek 2: *looking up from his Sudoku* eh, yeah
WG1: hey I have a great idea! let's look song titles up in the new Very Thick And Containing A Lot Of Words You've Never Heard Of Before - dictionary!
WG2: woop-dee-doo (he's not such a geek after all)
WG1: look what I found
WG2: *looks at dictionary* oh, dear, 'standstill' is one word.
WG1: we should change it!
WG2: ehm, shouldn't we first discuss this with 'little Paulie' McGuiness and 'tiny Bono' Corleone?
WG1: no, they will never hear of this, capice?
(when did this turn into a bad mafia sketch? )

And that's how it came.

No, U2.com are 100% right., It's U2 that have been getting it wrong all these years. Bunch of dimwits..

 

[pgv]

I dont have the emails anymore i deleted them in disgust..okay they probably werent as bad as they sound. but like
'We have very trustworthy sources and can confirm we are infact correct. Sorry but thanks for emailing us..'
sort of thing.

 

[nathan1977]

U2.com got something wrong? I'm shocked. Shocked.

 

[pattip2000]

I dont have the emails anymore i deleted them in disgust..okay they probably werent as bad as they sound. but like
'We have very trustworthy sources and can confirm we are infact correct. Sorry but thanks for emailing us..'
sort of thing.

maybe they will be getting an email from me this week.

 

[Thora]

They also posted incorrect setlists quite often.

 

[Rochelle D]

in there timeline it has that pop was released in Feb but when you go into the album section it says march

so i guess it can be wrong

 

[pgv]

maybe they will be getting an email from me this week.

I emailed them about three times. But they just stopped replying, and i didnt want to get my memebership cancelled or anything (even though i never bother with u2.com. what a waste!)
