U2 - Hawkmoon 269
 Album:
Rattle and Hum (1988)
  1. One of my favourites on Rattle and Hum: Hawkmoon 269....Is there a good live-recording of it? And what is your thought about this song?

    Like a desert needs rain
    Like a town needs a name
    I need your love

    Like a drifter needs a room
    Hawkmoon
    I need your love
    I need your love

    Like a rhythm unbroken
    Like drums in the night
    Like sweet soul music
    Like sunlight
    I need your love

    Like coming home
    And you don't know where you've been
    Like black coffee
    Like nicotine
    I need your love (I need your love)
    I need your love (I need your love)
    I need your love (I need your love)

    When the night has no end
    And the day yet to begin
    As the room spins around
    I need your love
    I need your love

    Like a Phoenix rising needs a holy tree
    Like the sweet revenge of a bitter enemy
    I need your love

    Like the hot needs the sun
    Like honey on her tongue
    Like the muzzle of a gun
    Like oxygen
    I need your love (I need your love)
    I need your love (I need your love)
    I need your love (I need your love)

    When the night has no end
    And the day yet to begin
    As the room spins around
    I need your love

    I need your love...
    [Repeat 9 times]

    Like thunder needs rain
    Like a preacher needs pain
    Like tongues of flame
    Like a sheet stained
    I need your love
    I need your love

    Like a needle in a vein
    Like someone to blame
    Like a thought unchained
    Like a runaway train
    I need your love

    I need your love...
    [Repeat 7 times]

    Like faith needs a doubt
    Like a freeway out
    I need your love

    Like powder needs a spark
    Like lies need the dark
    I need your love

    In the heart of the heat of the love
    In the heart of the heat of the love...
  2. double topic Thats a new one. There is a good soundboard performance from one of the LoveTown gigs from Sydney though it's not on the bootleg pages. I'll upload it tomorrow if it's not about.

  3. Haha, funnily enough, I was singing this in my head whilst having breakfast this morning. Great tune in my opinion, along with Heartland and god Part II.
  4. I'm actually not a big fan of this one. Although I do like the name.
  5. The Sydney version is fantastic, with the slide guitar intro
  6. great song, i love it.

    Yes, double...mistake with the connection and delay and stuff. You already closed it..perfect.
    Thanks for the link...
  8. one of my top 5 from Rattle & dung for sure
  9. amazing song!! I really love it!!
    and there is also a youtube vid with the song been played live and some random images, made by fans..
    really amazing song..
  10. this was my first fave "non popular" U2 song I had just when I really got into them. Totally awesome. I used to put it on full volume in my car whilst driving around.
  11. Master piece if you ask me. Just listen to the drums. These could blow your mind.
  12. This is like BAD, in that the recording is a blue print but LIVE is where is shines.

    They really need to revisit "Hawkmoon 269" and "God Part II" on the next tour!

    You hear me boys! Rehearsal time!!!
