"Candy's Room".:idea:
Perfect material for him and Edge:yes:

A fast powerful love song. Powerful guitar solo.
I can picture him leaping into the audience finding his " Candy Girl" for a quick dance:yes:

I don't mean to go all Pleba here, but if our band covered one of Bruce's sexiest songs, Candy's Room, I might go into a hormonal coma. I really don't think I'd be able to handle it. In fact, I'm getting all clammy and quivery just thinking about it. I think SD knows what I mean. A few others will as well. (Mona)

In Candy's room
There are pictures of her heroes on the wall
But to get to Candy's room
Ya gotta walk
the darkness
of Candy's hall



*THUD*

Wrap yer minds (and hormones) around Bono singing this

She said baby if you wanna be wild
you got a lot to learn
close your eyes let them melt let them fire let them burn

:yes: :tongue:

I still most of all wanna hear them do Desire/She's the One together, though...

Candy's Room rules, but She's the One to this female fan is THE sexiest song Bruce has ever written. :drool:

A good workout for Larry as well.
Though i'd rather they cover "Adam Raised a Cain" if they were gonna cover the Boss, like to hear Edge's adaptation of that.

I would love to hear Bono sing Bruce.......I want him to do Pete Yorn's version of "Dancing in the Dark" :drool: or Secret Garden (HOMINA) or.....ok really anything.......especially from "Darkness".....! I could see Bono doing "streets of fire"...

It may take me a while to recover from THAT little item.

How 'bout:

Tell me now baby
Is he good to you
Can he do to you
The things that I do


sung by our dear Bono!? :drool: :ohmy:

Holy crap.

I could barely type that. I gotta go...

I love Candy's Room! That songs is at the top of my list of Springsteen songs that I still need to see live. The guitar solo is hot!

I liked the idea that Sherry Darling posted awhile back, I think on the Greasy Lake website, where she said that they could have Desire go into She's The One.
 
[color=royal blue]She's The One
With her killer graces and her secret places
That no boy can fill with her hands on her hips
Oh and that smile on her lips
Because she knows that it kills me
With her soft french cream
Standing in that doorway like a dream
I wish she'd just leave me alone
Because french cream won't soften them boots
And french kisses will not break that heart of stone
With her long hair falling
And her eyes that shine like a midnight sun
Oh-o she's the one, she's the one

That Thunder in your heart
At night when you're kneeling in the dark
It says you're never gonna leave her
But there's this angel in her eyes
That tells such desperate lies
And all you want to do is believe her
And tonight you'll try just one more time
To leave it all behind and to break on through
Oh she can take you, but if she wants to break you
She's gonna find out that ain't so easy to do
And no matter where you sleep tonight or how far you run
Oh-o she's the one, she's the one

Oh-o and just one kiss
She'd fill them long summer nights
With her tenderness that secret pact you made
Back when her love could save you from the bitterness
Oh she's the one, oh she's the one
Oh she's the one, oh she's the one
Oh she's the one, oh she's the one



Candy's Room
In Candy's room there are pictures of her heroes on the wall
But to get to Candy's room you gotta walk the darkness of Candy's hall
Strangers from the city call my baby's number and they bring her toys
When I come knocking she smiles pretty she knows I wanna be Candy's boy
There's a sadness hidden in that pretty face
A sadness all her own from which no man can keep Candy safe
We kiss my heart's pumpin' to my brain
The blood rushes in my veins fire rushes towards the sky
We go driving driving deep into the night
I go driving deep into the light in Candy's eyes
She says baby if you wanna be wild you got a lot to learn, close your eyes
Let them melt let them fire let them burn
`Cause in the darkness there'll be hidden worlds that shine
When I hold Candy close she makes these hidden worlds mine

She has fancy clothes and diamond rings
She has men who'll give her anything she wants but they don't see
That what she wants is me, oh and I want her so
I'll never let her go no no no
She knows that I'd give all that I got to live
All that I want all that I live to make Candy mine
Tonight

hey.....Bono doing Bruce might give him an opportunity to bring back the best Bono accessory of all time.......the harmonica :D:D

[/color]:tongue:
 
Dear Martha,

You've just killed me. My hands are shaking, I see what you mean. LOL.

Hey little girl is your daddy home
did he go and leave you all alone
I've got a bad desire
ohhhhhhhhh I'm on fire


S*$%T just the THOUGHT of Bono melding his voice to me...I mean...to those words....

*dives into Arctic Ocean*

PS Thanks Mona for those awesome lyrics and AMEN to the harmonic fantasy and hi EricB ;)

And ladies can you imagine the part at the end...you know what I mean...that sesy falsetto...

Well, back into the Arctic with me after that mental!

Sherry (who would make a joke about aural sex if this were PLEBA but its not so....)

PS Diamond started it.... :D
 
I just remembered, at the U2 show that I saw 6/21/01 in NJ, during Bad, Bono at one point sang "I'm on fire. I'm on fire. Who-oh-ohhhh I'm on fire". I later found out Bruce was in the audience that night. I read that in Atlanta when members of REM were in the audience U2 threw snippets of their songs in too.
 
U2 have enough good covers.
What we need is for Bruce to start doing U2 covers. Running to Stand Still performed by the Boss would RULE ALL.
 
Some things in Bono's and Bruce's voices remind me of each others. They have some vocal characteristics that are very similar.
