Stuck in a moshpit you can't get out of

[zooropamanda]

I posted this on Wire a while back...

Dedicated to all those poor souls who had their feet trampled, heads knocked and noses fouled by others' stenches at the wonderous and marvellous Slane 2001.
Please take out ATYCLB and hit track 2 so that the music composed by U2 can play along with this Bono/Amanda duet.....

I am here at Slane
I am quite a brave girl
There's not much beer you can throw on me
that I haven't already hurled.

I'm just trying to shine
above the heads in front of me
Bono is about to sing
but feet are stomping on me

I always knew I was a fool
there's a huge line for the loo
ah ah oh oh
You gotta stand up straight
its gonna be a loooong wait
These fans arent going nowhere
baybay

You've got to put your legs together
You've got stuck in a mosh pit
and now you can't get out of it
Won't say that Coldplay could be better
Now you're stuck in a mosh pit
and you can't get out of it..

They will not forsake
the voice with which you sing
the night ended with fireworks
and your ears forever ring
My feet are still dented
by those Docs that trod on me
they screamed into my ears
and went nuts for the Chilli's

You think you are so cool
to do this for U2
oh ah oh oh

These guys are rough
you want them to get stuffed
I SO need to pee now!!
my oh myyyyyy

You've got to put your legs together
You've got stuck in a mosh pit
and now you can't get out of it
Oh Edge
get me out now!
Youve got yourself stuck in a mosh pit
and you can't get out of it..

I was unconscious
half asleep
the mosh fell on top of me
I discovered how deeeeeep
They were all jumping
for me it was a fall
Its a long way down
to the ground - I baaaaaaallllleeedd!!!!

You've got to get out of this tether
Youve got stuck in a mosh pit
and you cant get out of it
Dont say that Cold play could be better
You've got stuck in this mosh pit
and you cant get out of it

And if the crowd rolls over
you know your body wont last
and if your bladder should falter
all over Slane's fine grass
And if the crowd rolls over
you know your body wont last
and if your bladder should falter
all over Slane's fine grass

?n just a moment
this feeling will pass......

Just when we thought it was safe to go back to the forum... 'Weird Amanda Yankovic'

 

[Bonochick]

Cute, manda! Thanks for makin' me smile on this cruddy morning!

Maybe Bono and Edge should consult you when writing the lyrics for the next album!

LMAO!!

Thank God, no one saw me crackin' up in front of my screen at work! They already think I'm a weirdo!

Larry looked like some kind of porn star. Edge looked like his sister Jill, I looked like Barbara Bush and Adam hasn't taken the dress off.

"Stuck" was just on VH-1...had to come back and read manda's lyrics while it was on...*lol*

[christiana]

LMAO!! That's cool, manda!!

 

[zooropamanda]

*watches cat's collegues run away in fear at her singing about peeing on the grass at slane*

 

[achtung__baby]

LMAO!!!!!!!

Whereabouts were you during the gig?

Got into the wrong line to begin with - bunch of students throwing bottles of piss over the line and pelting anyone who climbed into the bushes with (full) cans of beer was too much to deal with first thing in the morning.

Gates opened and they pushed the metal barriers by the gate over (with me underneath) and at this point I realised there was a 20 min walk to the stage. So we ran in the mud.

When we got there everyone from the other gate was in so I just grovelled to a security guard until he gave me a pass for the enlosure outside the heart!

Certainly um... different from my experience at Earls Court

 

[U2girl]

ROTF LOL

Funny! I wouldn't show this to any non-U2 fans though.

 

[U2girl]

there's one more apropriate line for "bladder trouble":

in a little while i'll be there,
in a little while, this hurt will hurt no more...

also: "look i gotta go..." from the Fly gets a new meaning.

Amen, this is true - 80,000 and not a single guy using the porta-loos. I think I have never in my life seen as many guys just drop trou and go wherever the mood struck...

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

LMAO Amanda!!

Thanks for summing up my experience pretty accurately!!!!

 

[zooropamanda]

Julie did u fall down?
that wasnt fun
How close were you?
and everyone else..i didnt go to the bathroom the whole day

 

[cass]

First up Amanda brilliant poetry, my mum would say "she's a poet and didn't know it" but I think you may know.You are very witty.Keep up the good work.
Second, after seeing the photographs taken at Slane, the light, the colour of the sky and trees.....I wanna go!! I've decided I will go to Ireland and I'll make it August when the Slane concert is on.It's annual,isn't it?I just have to wait for the gig guide to be published each year to see who's performing. (that's presuming/praying/hoping we're not still at war in a few years time)
Third, after getting to the bottom of this thread and reading about 40 000 men dropping their trousers LMAO,can't say I'm not a "wee" bit concerned.

To once again to quote my fave no longer in existence local band...
"....we're just having a wee break, we won't pee long.." Horace/ Bourbon Street

 

[lazyboy]

Cass.........
yep, Slane is an annual thing, apparently Madonna is headlining it next year.........hmmmm, well, it'll be on anyway!

I also heard Chilli's are coming back, hope that they headline it this time, not Madonna!

 

[follower]

Amanda,

Your "lyrics" are always reaaaally funny

This one is another pearl, LOL

 

[zooropamanda]

happy u liked em grace and everyone else

 

[cass]

Well, that was short-lived determination.(unfortunately for me, it's all about mooney$ not drooms) I popped into the discount bookstore yesterday(just checking if the U2concert vids have been further discounted) and clapped eyes on The Reader's Digest "Discovering Ireland" video. Cover notes.."Come to the Emerald Isle. Walk along the Liffey in Dublin's fair city, stroll through lovely gardens, marvel at nature's gift's, see Irish treasures(phew, U2 are on it!!)... the romantic glens of Antrim....etc"
So a $15 virtual tour will do for now.As my TV is only 19cms, I'll save it till I'm visiting someone with a big screen. Otherwise it will seem a very small place.
One day

Crikey's it was made in 1992, U2 were on tour then weren't they?
PS: I also bought a vid titled "Sting and the Police" a bit of retail therapy,cheaper than albums and oh so nice to look at.
End of rave
