Miggy D said:Unbeknownst to most people, including many hardcore U2 fans, Bono has had to tone down many of his more sexually explicit songs before release, to prevent U2 albums from receiving a 'Parental Guidance' sticker. Here are some of the original titles to the unedited songs, which are now languishing in obscurity. It is unknown whether or not the recordings of these alternate versions exist, and if they do, whether or not U2 will one day, late in their career, release a 'Breast Of' collection of these hidden gems:
Beautiful Lay
Staring At The Buns
Where The Sheets Have No Shame
I Still Haven't F***ed What I'm Looking For
Goo Station
Even Wetter Than The Real Thing
Angel Of Herpes
There are many other songs that I have not included, for they are simply too raunchy to be written here. Bono has a dark, sexual side that is not too often seen because of this self-imposed censorship, but one can only imagine the kind of stamina Ali must have.

Daddy's gonna pay
Daddy gives you as much as you can take
Butterfly kisses up and down your wrist
When you see daddy coming
You're licking your lip

Peace on Earth
Where I grew up
There weren't many trees
Where there was we'd tear them down
And use them on our enemies ..................... lol

3. Song: Hold Me Thrill Me, Kiss me, kill me
Lyrics in question:
The whole orgasm at the end of the song. What is that about? Do we need to hear Bono moaning like that?

Anyway, I always thought Elevation was about sex. Bono is quite the cunning linquist.

Am I the only one who read 'cunning linguist' out loud and thought it terribly appropriate for this thread?

These are all drug references. "Butterfly kisses" are a pretty name for the ugly track marks left on your arms by hypodermic needles. Daddy is a pusher. And the 'licking your lip' line refers to a common nervous habit that heroin users exhibit when they need a fix.

The entire "Do You Feel Loved!" Pure sex.

Ellay said:I always prefer to interpret "if you want to kiss the sky, you'd better learn how to kneel" as "if you want to get to heaven, you'd better learn how to pray" However, the sexual connotation is there as well, Im sure.
Forget the 'orgasm' on Hold me Thrill me.. Try listening to Bono on the Mysterious Ways Solar Plexus Club Mix, sounds like he's shagging the whole way through it !!

Shade said:Something I just realized - if I'm not mistaken, 'A Man And A Woman' is the first U2 song to actually have the word 'sex' in it.
macphisto23 said:After reading this thread, most of it is Blasphemy IMO! Mysterious Ways is actually a Hymn of God Bono wrote that soley for God, and had no sexual meanings.
