Looking for to save my save my soul
Looking in the places where no flowers grow
Looking for to fill that God shaped hole
Mother...mother sucking rock and roll (Mother...)


Holy dunc, spacejunk coming in for the splash
(Been around the back...been around the front)
White dopes on punk staring into the flash
(Been around the back...been around the front)
Looking for the baby Jesus under the trash
(Been around the back...been around the front)


Mother...mother sucking rock and roll (Mother...)
Mother [scat singing] rock and roll (Mother...)


Mother...mother...mother...
Mother...mother...mother...


Mother...am I still your son
You know I've waited for so long to hear you say so
Mother...you left and made me someone
Now I'm still a child, no one tells me no


Looking for a sound that's going to drown out the world
(Been around the back...been around the front)
Looking for the father of my two little girls
(Been around the back...been around the front)
Got the swing got the sway got my straw in lemonade
(Been around the back...been around the front)
Still looking for the face I had before the world was made
(Been around the back...been around the front)


Mother...mother sucking rock and roll (Mother...)
Bubble popping sugar dropping rock and roll (Mother...)
Mother...mother suck, yeah, fuck yeah (Mother...)


Mother...mother...mother...
Mother...mother...mother...


Soothe me mother
Rule me father
Fool me brother
Woo me sister
Soothe me mother
Rule me father
Show me mother
Show me mother
Show me mother
Show me mother
Show me mother
Show me mother
 
Probably Bono's most personal song:

"Mother...am I still your son
You know I've waited for so long to hear you say so
Mother...you left and made me someone
Now I'm still a child, no one tells me no"

"Looking for the father of my two little girls"

Those two parts say a lot.
 
yes they do.

fantastic song.

IMO, better than anything by the chemical brothers or other electronica acts.

the bass line RULES.
 
I love its energy, its honesty and its heartfelt lyrics.:wink:

"Mofo" is Bono at his soul-baring best.

Hopefully some of the personal issues the B-man was wrestling with during the writing of this song have been successfully resolved.:hug:

LOOKING FOR TO SAVE MY SAVE MY SOUL.... :bono: :heart: :heart: ;)
 
The MTV Awards performance was just awesome.. It looked really polished as well - one Ive always liked
 
(Been around the back...been around the front)

Depending on what way you look at that lyric, it seems really sick...

Really strong lyrics, really makes you think do these lyrics

Cracking song though....really vibrant.
A techno rocker, something of a rarity.

It is a fitting conclusion to one of u2's finest threesomes of discotheque, do ya feel loved-mofo
 
Just everything about this song rocks....I always wanted to hear it in a club, in a really amazing sound system. It sound so good in my car!
 
I've always loved the inversion of "white punks on dope" to "white dopes on punk." It's very self-effacing, but honest. who said they were pretetious? :sexywink:
