Most Poetic

[rejoicing fan]

I'm listening to A Sort of Homecoming right now, and I am just blown away by how beautifully poetic the lyrics are.

What do y'all think are some of Bono's most poetic songs?

 

[Bonovation]

Without a shadow of a doubt, for me, it has to be October (the song, not the album).

off of unforgetable fire, i'd say "promenade"

"Lookin for baby Jesus under the trash..."

 

[Anthony]

Without a doubt, the most poetic song is definitely my fave of all time;

I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR.

I reckon STAY (Far Away So Close)

Night And Day and Walk To The Water are nicely poetic too.

Night and Day lyric is by Cole Porter. Walk To The Water is prolly my fav lyric. When Love Comes To Town is pretty poetic as well. And also So Cruel is really excellent.
