In the new doco on the Atomic bonus DVD, Bono says there is a line which references Stories for Boys 'for the trainspotters' in Vertigo. Any ideas which line this is??
 
Is it just the "Hello Hello" vocal. Bono said on BBC radio1 there's something in there for the trainspotters connecting to SFBoys, doesn't seem very subtle.
 
i think" as the boys play rock and roll" " they know that they cant dance at least they know" butnthats probably wrong.
 
There's a place I go
And I am far away
There's a TV show
And I can grow

Sometimes the hero takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Hello hello

There's a picture book
With colored photographs
There's a comic strip
That makes me laugh

Sometimes the lady takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Hello hello

Stories for boys...
 
When Bono whispers "all of this could be yours" in the middle of Vertigo there is an echoing vocal in the background that sounds like the Edge singing.This is very similar to the vocal at about 1minute 35seconds into SFB.I think this is the "trainspotters" link between these two songs.
