Like A Song
Like a song I have to sing
I sing it for you
Like the words I have to bring
I bring it for you
And in leather, lace, and chains
We stake our claim
Revolution once again
No I won't...
I won't wear it on my sleeve
I can see through this expression
And you know I don't believe
Too wrong to be told
Exactly who are you
Tonight
Tomorrow's too late
And we love to wear a badge, a uniform
And we love to fly a flag
But I won't... let others live in hell
As we divide against each other
And we fight amongst ourselves
Too set in our ways to try to rearrange
Too right to be wrong, in this rebel song
Let the bells ring out
Let the bells ring out
Is there nothing left
Is there, is there nothing
Is there nothing left
Is honesty what you want
A generation without name, ripped and torn
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
Nothing at all
And if you can't help yourself
Well take a look around you
When others need your time
You say it's time to go... it's your time
Angry words won't stop the fight
Two wrongs won't make it right
A new heart is what I need
Oh God, make it bleed
Is there nothing left...
Is there nothing left...
Is there nothing left...
Fourth song on the third album. For me, and sadly for not-many other fans, one of the best songs ever written.
Well, Like A Song was played only ONCE, in the first concert of the War Tour. It took place on Dundee, Scotland. A small city (~150.000 inhabitants) recognised for its great university. There began the first worldwide tour of U2. We the fans appreciate a lot that tour, and it featured one of the greatest U2 recordings ever: Under A Blood Red Sky.
Well, that Dundee concert took place exactly 25 years ago. As it was the only time Like A Song was played, I felt the need of posting this stuff.

You will enjoy the show, I'm sure. It's not only Like A Song, but the whole show. It sounds decent, and it's a funny'n'unique show.
