Originally posted by LikeASong:"...now we LIE together..." from Ultraviolet is the absolute winner for me. He hits it very very well night after night, he hasn't failed yet, kudos for Bono
In fact, these are probably the two best verses ever:
I remember when we could sleep on stones
And now we lie together in whispers and moans
Absolute highlight of U2's discography in my opinion.

I remember
When we could sleep on stones
Now we lie together
In whispers and moans
When I was all messed up
And I had opera in my head
Your love was a light bulb
Hanging over my bed

It's the absolute desperation that you feel for a love that you had, but now is gone. You remember the good times and feel very sorry for not being able to go back, to feel it again. Now you're living (or just remembering) with a person you don't love, and/or he/she doesn't love anymore either. It's really sad because you both used to be so happy together, and now the only way to communicate are whispers, complaints, discussions, moans...
I really can't explain it in English, I just feel that verses are so definitive.
(BTW I agree with Mark, the whole paragraph is so incredibly wonderful and sad)
