Song of the day 07-08-05: Even better than the real thing

[Cassis]

Even better than the real thing


Give me one more chance and you'll be satisfied
Give me two more chances, you won't be denied
Well, my heart is where it's always been
My head is somewhere in between
Give me one more chance, let me be your lover tonight
Oh yeah, check it out

You're the real thing
Yeah, the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing, child

Give me one last chance and I'm gonna make you sing
Give me half a chance to ride on the waves that you bring
You're honey, child, to a swarm of bees
Gonna blow right through you like a breeze
Give me one last chance, we'll slide down the surface of things

You're the real thing
Yeah, the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing, child

We're free to fly the crimson sky
The sun won't melt our wings tonight
Oh now, here she comes
Take me higher
Take me higher
Can you take me higher
Will you take me higher

You're the real thing
Yeah, the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing

[Palace_Hero]

One of the two worst songs on the greatest album ever.

Naturally I love it then.

 

[POP-ROMANCER]

One of the best songs on the greatest album ever !!!
Especially the video, I love it. U2 on its best !!

One of the best songs on the greatest album ever !!!
Especially the video, I love it. U2 on its best !!

It was the video that made me love U2. I thought it was the epitome of cool.

 

[MCF74]

This was always a great song, and it's a good one to rediscover after a while. For some reason, I hadn't heard it much in the past few years, and recently started listening to the whole Achtung Baby album from start to finish all over again.

This song obviously received a lot of airplay on radio and MTV, but actually deserved the attention where other songs don't. After Zoo Station, it was the perfect second song on the album, and Edge's guitar riffs rock in this one. Love it!

 

[RavenBlue]

I love Edge's solos in this one. Always gives me chills.. a very good rock song.

 

[Zoots]

It was the video that made me love U2. I thought it was the epitome of cool.

Totally agree! It was this video that pretty much made me a fan!

 

[Stefan]

Totally agree! It was this video that pretty much made me a fan!

[Zoots]

It's always good to hear about other people with similar experiences!

 

[xtihn]

[jonnytakeawalk]

Honestly I think it's U2's sexiest song

Give me one last chance and I'm gonna make you sing,
Give me half a chance to ride on the waves that you bring,
You're honey child to a swarm of bees,
Gonna blow right through you like a breeze,
Give be one last chance, we'll slide down the surface of things.

Oh baby!

The clip is sonething else too! Although by the end of the song the rotation gets on your nerves a bit
