I know a girl who's like the sea
I watch her changing every day for me
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

One day she's still, the next she swells
You can hear the universe in her sea shells
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

No, no line on the horizon, no no line

I know a girl with a hole in her heart
She said infinity is a great place to start
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Time is irrelevant, it's not linear
Then she put her tongue in my ear
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

No, no line on the horizon, no no line
No, no line on the horizon, no no line

The songs in your head are now on my mind
You put me on pause
I'm trying to rewind and replay

Every night I have the same dream
I'm hatching some plot, scheming some scheme
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I'm traffic cop, due de marais
The sirens are wailing but it's me that wants to get away
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

No, no line on the horizon, no line
No, no line
No, no line on the horizon, no line
No, no line
 
I love NLOTH, this album version...
but somehow I'm trying to imagine it without the chorus and have a feeling that it would be even better that way.... :)

but I love it...
 
Magnificent

I was born, I was born to be with you
In this space and time
After that, and ever after I haven't had a clue
Only to proclaim
This foolishness can leave a heart black and blue

Only love, Only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can leave such a scar

I was born, I was born to sing for you
I did'nt have a choice
To lift you up and sing whatever song you wanted me to
I give you back my voice
From the womb my first cry, it was a joyful noise

Only love, Only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can leave such a scar

Just a fire, till we die, you and I will make a fire
Magnificent

Only love, Only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love your not to heart (this bit didnt make sense but thats what I hear)

Just a fire, till we die, you and I will make a fire
We're Magnificent

Cedars of Lebanon

Yesterday I spent asleep
Woke up in my clothes in a dirty heap
Spend the night tryin to make a deadline
Squeezin complicated lives into a simple headline
I have your face in an old Polaroid
Tidying the children's clothes and toys
You smilig back at me I took the photo from the fridge
Can't remember what Emily did
Haven't been with a woman, it feels like, for years
Thought of you the whole time, your salty tears
This shitty world sometimes produces a rose
The scent of it lingers but then it just goes

Return the call to home

The worst of us are a long drawn-out confession
The best of us are geniuses of compression
You say you're not gonna leave the truth alone
I'm here 'cause I don't wanna go home

Child drinking dirty water from a riverbank
Soldier brings oranges he got out from a tank
Waiting on the waiter, he's taking a while to come
Watching the sun go down on Lebanon

Return the call to home

Now I got a head like a lit cigarette
Unholy clouds reflect in a minaret
So high above me, higher than everyone
Where are you in the cedars of Lebanon?

Choose your enemies carefully, 'cause they will define you
Make them interesting 'cause in some ways they will mind you
They're not there in the beginning but when your story ends
Gonna last with you longer than your friends
 
And what about a Bono lyrical appreciation thread? Especially after all the flack he's copped over the last couple of years
 
I'll go crazy if I dont go crazy tonight

She's a rainbow and she loves the peaceful life
Knows I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight
There's a part of me in chaos that's quiet
And there's a part of you that wants me to riot
Everybody needs to cry or needs to spit
Every sweet-tooth needs just a little hit
Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot
How can you stand next to the truth and not see it?

Change of heart comes slow...

IT'S NOT A HILL, IT'S A MOUNTAIN
As you start out the climb
Do you believe me or are you doubtin?
We're gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight

Every generation gets a chance to change the world
???? that will listen to your boys and girls
Is the sweetest melody the one we haven't heard?
Is it true that perfect love drives out all fear?
The right to be ridiculous is something I hold dear

But change of heart comes slow...

IT'S NOT A HILL, IT'S A MOUNTAIN
As you start out the climb
You see for me I've been shoutin
But we're gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight

Baby, baby, baby, I know I'm not alone
Baby, baby, baby, I know I'm not alone

Ha, ha, ha

(The Edge)

IT'S NOT A HILL IT'S A MOUNTAIN
As you start out the climb
You see for me I've been shouting
Let's shout until the darkness, squeeze out sparks of light

You know we'll go crazy
You know we'll go crazy
You know we'll go crazy, if we don't go crazy tonight
 
White As Snow

Where I grew up there were no hills at all
The land was flat, the highway straight and wide
My brother and I, we'd drive for hours, like we'd years instead of days
Our faces as pale as the dirty snow

Once I knew there was a love divine
Then came a time I thought it knew me not
Who can forgive forgiveness when forgiveness is not?
Only the land as white as snow

And the water it was icy
As it washed over me
And the moon shined above me

Now this dry ground it bears no fruit at all
Only ??? under a crescent moon

The road refuses strangers
The land, the seeds we sew
Where might we find a land as white as snow?

As boys we would go hunting in the wood
To sleep, the night shoot out the stars
Now the wolves are every passing stranger
Every face we cannot know
For only a heart could be as white as snow
For only a heart could be as white as snow
 
Stand Up Comedy

Love love love love love...
Love love love love love...

I got stand up and tale a step
You and I have been asleep for hours
I got to stand up
The wire is stretched in between our two towers
Stand up in this dizzy world
Where a lovesick eye can steal the view
I´m gonna fall down if I can´t stand up
For your love

Love love love love love...

Stand up, this is comedy
The DNA lottery may have left you smart
But can you stand up to beauty, dictator of the heart
I can stand up for hope, faith love
But while I´m getting over certainty
Stop helping God across the road like a little old lady

Out from under your beds
C´mon ye people
Stand up for your love

Love love love love love...

I gotta stand up to ego bet my ego´s not really the enemy
it´s like a small child crossing an eight lane highway
On a voyage of discovery

Stand up to rock stars, Napolean is high heels
Josephine, be careful of small men with big ideas

Out form under your beds
C´mon ye people
Stand up for your love

Love love love love love...

God is love
And love is evolution´s very best day
Soul rockin´people moving on
Soul rockin´people on and on
C´mon ye people
We´re made of stars
C´mon ye people
Stand up then sit down for your love

Love love love love love...
Love love love love love...
