War Child
Probably my favorite off the Bomb. Surrounded by songs with mediocre (or just plain bad) lyrics, its own lyrics stand out in a good way.
Good, I'm glad I'm not totally out in the ether then! Thanks for the great complimentbonocomet said:That makes perfect sense. Best description of the song I've ever heard.

Michael Griffiths said:I remember stating this was the (real) classic of Bomb when I first heard the album. Everyone was knocking the song, and I said, just wait....
I sometimes wished for the song to take off at the end, too, but I think U2 purposely restrained it for added power. You can just feel it wanting to climax...but this is a different kind of song. It ends just before you get to witness what comes after....one step closer to knowing, but never knowing. Kind of like life. If that makes any sense.
