The Fly


Where did I put my rum and cigars?

 

[Axver]

To the exact minute?

I'm not that bad. Yet.

Also:

FUCK YEAH, THE FLY.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yup, the Fly still fucking rocks.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Also, I forgot to mention how much I like the strings in So Cruel.

The liner says "The Duchess Nell Catchpole String Arrangement - The Edge and Brian Eno"

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

It's no secret at all.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

*fans self* The fucking FLY

 

[Axver]

Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief

Love that lyric.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Fuck, I'm really apathetic towards this album now.

 

[coolian2]

:airguitar:

Like I did when I saw The Fly live

 

[The Sad Punk]

Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief

Love that lyric.

Isn't the first line stolen from... John Lennon?

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

(Achtung Baby!)

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm pretty sure that Achtung Baby features Edge's best collection of guitar solos. I mean damn, listen to that shit. It fucking cooks.

 

[coolian2]

If only the live MW solo existed on the album.

 

[Axver]

THE UNIVERSE EXPLODIN' 'CAUSE OF ONE MAN'S FUCKIN' LIE!

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

BORING.

 

[Axver]

Isn't the first line stolen from... John Lennon?

How the hell would I know?

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

If only the live MW solo existed on the album.

A-fucking-men.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I love absolutely everything about the studio version of MW.

It was one of my first favorite U2 songs.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

 

[Axver]

If only the live MW solo existed on the album.

Yeah, and if only the guitar tone were the live tone.

 

[The Sad Punk]

The Actual Lyric: is the best part.

But seriously, even if it doesn't have shit on the live version, I love MW. Ultimate party goodtimes song for me and my pals.

 

[coolian2]

It's alright
It's alright
Shamu
The mysterious whale

 

[bono_212]

Ugh Mysterious Ways

 

[Axver]

"Shamu the mysterious whale" is 1. funnier and 2. what I sing all the time now.

 

[The Sad Punk]

It's alright
It's alright
Shamu
The mysterious whale

No matter how hard I try, I honestly cannot hear it.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

It's alright
It's alright
Shamu
The mysterious whale

 

[coolian2]

I love the Sarajevo performance where Bono carries on with the song afterwards and the crowd takes over. Goosebumps, people.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

It's alright
It's alright
Shamu
The mysterious whale

I gotta say I also really liked your BACON BACON HAMMMMMMMMMMMMMM interpretation of the end of One.

Nice work.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Ugh Mysterious Ways

WELL I DON'T LIKE THAT BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN SONG

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

No matter how hard I try, I honestly cannot hear it.

Me either, but it's still a funny association to make.
