I recently downloaded the rare Bono/U2 song "Wild Irish Rose". I'd heard it many many times before but I just can't figure out why U2 never "finished" this tune on an album. Personally I can hear this near the end of Achtung Baby or even some where on Zooropa.
"Wild Irish Rose"
In a field by a river my lover and I did lie
On my naked shoulder she too proud to cry
She said that I must leave her, an icy tear she froze
How could I melt the heart, of a Wild Irish Rose
Well, a gypsy she has made of me, a servant of the streets
From bed to bed I've travelled to taste a love as sweet
Well the heart it knows no reasons, and reason never knows
As I lie with them I am thinking of a Wild Irish Rose
Well I saw the city of angels it brought a devil out of me
In Hell's hotel on Sunset, showed a whore no mercy
As the orange sky was screaming, from the roof I let her go
These are the dizzy heights that brought me my Wild Irish Rose
Now, wild is the rose that she laid on my grave
A life was all she wanted and a life I surely gave
Like a hundred men before me they lay lying here in rows
Young men, bloody, as a Wild Irish Rose ...
Amazing lyrics. This song served as one of the stepping stones for me into song writing and such. The words just flow and paint a beautiful picture. If you haven't heard it before - find it and download it. I just hope that they release an official version some day.
