I like the refu-Jesus bit! At least it’s innovative. What sinks the song is a lame chorus. The verses are amazing.
I'll take RefuJesus over "Force quit and move to trash" any day
I always thought Pop/Zooropa were bad
Other than singing One through a megaphone, I enjoyed all of the show.

Zooropa's lyrics 9/10
SOI and SOE's lyrics meh/10
Are people trying to argue the in character storytelling of NLOTH was somehow less creative than Bono just telling his life story in the broadest strokes imaginable? REFUJESUS IS INNOVATIVE you guys slay me.

Again, it’s a pointless conversation. I personally think the “letters to family if I were to die” is much more powerful than in character lyrics, especially when those in character lyrics reboot cockatoos at the ATM machine after helping old ladies cross the street.
Ehh, throw a rock in the air and you’ll hit.....someone who thinks differently.

Some of the storytelling gave us many of Bono's finest lyrics of the past couple of decades. NLOTH, MOS, Fez, White As Snow, Cedars - yeah some mis-steps, including a couple of glaring ones, but on the whole they hold up well.
Some of it gave us Unknown Caller.
And is there meant to be a character in Stand Up Comedy? Is there anything in that song other than sheer stupidity?
You are an ageist...stop beating up the little old lady!! She’s just trying to cross the road for God sake!!
Let us not forget 'boom cha'. Or 'sexy boots'. Or counting 1, 2, 3, 14. Or moles digging in holes. Or hello hello I'm at a place called...ah fuck he's written some indefensible shite

Why does nobody remember "turn it up loud, captain" when listing pile of shit lyrics.

I once even had a diehard fan, from this very forum, pointblank refuse to believe me when I mentioned Bono says this at the start of Vertigo until I actually played the fucker.
I love that line. It's cheeky, fun. Not sure why someone would even take it so seriously as part of a song's actual lyrics.
That's like criticizing John Lennon's "I dig a pigmy by Charles Haltrey and the Deaf-Aids..." as if it were meant to be anything but a joking aside.
Landlady?
What's your take on the uno, dos, tres, catorce before it?
I never understood people's problem with boom cha. Is it supposed to even mean anything? It's not a complete line like "turn it up loud, captain" or "stop helping God across the road..." It just goes along with the village people dance in the end, that's all. If there had been a non vocal sound effect in its place we wouldn't even have batted an eyelid!

Better yet, why no acknowledgement that many in this forum actually thought he said "turn it up thar captain", as if he was a pirate or some shit.Why does nobody remember "turn it up loud, captain" when listing pile of shit lyrics.

They almost converted some... but thankfully one particularly bug fan of the song much preferred loud and wouldn't give in
