Hey kids! Its U2 Proverbs Time!

[rockonedge]

So i was listening to some U2 music the other day (as you've guessed, its something i rarely or ever do. I mean, who would listen to U2? Muahahaha ) Anyways i was thinking of all the cool and funny little lyric bits there are in U2 songs, like how there's so much truth in such a little lyric..

I'm getting a little too philosiphical here...*whacks self in head* ok thats better now...so basically my idea was that we should come up with the best U2 lyrics ever. They can be hilarious. They can be absurdly random. They can relate to flys or lemons and also the Edge! There are a lot of great ones (especially the "proverb" type) in Always and The Fly here are some to get it started....

"And always wear a safety Belt" - Yes sir Bono! Watever you command!

"You're a headache in a suitcase" - And I am totally portable!

"Turn each song into a prayer, always" -very good advice.
I can't think of any more at the moment! Have fun!

My fave is "Too much is not enough."

 

[wertsie]

Love is a temple

 

[Schmeg]

Ooh, goody, I'm on time for this thread, not 2 months late like in Musical Journey!!!

Hang to your heart
Beat tight like a drum set
Hang on to your love
See it shine like a song
Hey, hey, baby hang on
--Also great advice!

She is addicted to me
--Have this under my Providence 2 pics (all 2 that came out... )

I can't sing but I've got soul
--Need I elaborate?!?!

Be a winner
Eat to get slimmer


And The Ultimate Synchronized Skating Proverbs!!

Don?t move
Don?t talk out of time
Don?t think
Don?t worry, everything?s just fine

Don?t grab
Don?t clutch
Don?t hope for too much
Don?t breathe
Don?t achieve
Don?t grieve without leave

Don?t whisper
Don?t talk
Don?t run if you can walk
Don?t cheat compete
Don?t miss the one beat


(synchro's my other obsession...it was the only team sport I was good at and the only team sport I hope to one day be able to afford again!)

^^^ one of my favourite songs. EVER.

"don't beleive what you see
"don't beleive what you hear
"...don't let the bastards grind you down"


will i get to the first person to mention this:
"and a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle"


"what you don't have you don't need it now"...probably the whole end part of beautiful day

"and love is not the easy thing the only baggage you can bring is all that you can't leave behind"

"every artist is a cannibal
every poet is a theif"

how about all sorts of zoo tv slogans? everything you know is wrong,
believe, etc.

Midnight is where the day begins.

 

[Liesje]

It's not what you're dreaming
But what you're gonna do

Grace makes beauty out of ugly things.

When you stop seeing beauty
You start growing old
The lines on your face
Are a map to your soul
When you stop taking chances
You'll stay where you sit

If the sky can crack there must be some way back for love and only love.

Be uncool, yes be awkward
Don't look in the obvious place
The soul needs beauty for a soulmate

Turn each song into a prayer

You gotta cry without weeping
talk without speaking
scream without raising your voice

Some high ground is not worth taking
Some connections are not worth making

Love wasn't lost
Love will have its day

Tonight we can be as one

 

[erised]

Grace makes beauty out of ugly things.

That's one of my favs, too.

 

[Philo_2727]

"The land grows weary of it's own."

"Don't believe in riches
But you should see where I live."

"We're free to fly the crimson sky
The sun won't melt our wings tonight."

"Nobody made you do it
No one put words in your mouth."

"A man makes a picture, a moving picture
through the light projected, he can see himself up close." -god, I love the chours to that song!

hmmm...thats it for now. Oh, and pretty much anything from Numb, The Fly, or Playboy mansion.....

[*BOOMCHAA!*]

I don't believe in forced entry, I don't believe in rape; but ever time she passes by, wild thoughts escape

You're taking steps that make you feel dizzy, then you learn to like the way it feels.

You change your name but that's okay, its necessary, and what you leave behind you don't miss anyway.
*ok, pretty much all of Gone*

There's no blood thicker that ink, Hear what I say, nothing's as simple as you think.

 

[Jenni_Anne]

"Is it getting better, or do you feel the same, will it make it easier on you now you got someone to blame?"

"You gotta live with your dreams, don't make them so hard."

"Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head?"

"Just as you find me always I will be a little bit too free with myself."

"It's too late tonight to drag the past out into the light."

(Okay, just about all of 'One')

 

[FallingStar]

I don't believe in forced entry, I don't believe in rape; but ever time she passes by, wild thoughts escape

It was so clear that YOU would say that!


And if the night runs over, and if the day won't last
And if your way should falter along the stoney path
It's just a moment, this time will pass.

Don't look in the obvious place, the sould needs beauty for a soul mate!

Hey guys, I did something like this a while back on EYKIW - I tried searching for it but can't find it, anyway it's on my site.

U2 Wish For You

 

[AngelofLarrydom]

In the days when we were swinging from the trees
I was a monkey stealing honey from a swarm of bees
I could taste, I could taste you even then
And I would chase you down the wind


You're dangerous 'cos you're honest
You're dangerous, you don't know what you want
Well, you left my heart empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt

You're an accident waiting to happen
You're a piece of glass left there on the beach
Well you tell me things I know you're not supposed to
Then you leave me just out of reach
Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea


Carnival, the wheels fly and the colors spin
through alcohol.


Just as you find me always I will be
A little bit too free with myself
