  1. That's tough because every U2 song is great lyrically and musically!!!


    All of Acrobat.


    "All road's lead to where you are" - Love Comes Tumbling // The whole song is incredible!

    "And I felt like a star, I felt the world could go far, If they listened to what I said." The Ocean

    "Grace, she carries a world on her hips, no champagne flute for her lips, no twirl or skips between her fingertips, she carries a pearl in perfect condition." - Grace

    "That girl, that girl, she's mine, Well I've known her since, since she was, a little girl with Spanish eyes, when I saw her in a pram they pushed her by." and "Slow down my beating heart, slowly, slowly love." In A Little While the whole thing is perfect lyrically!!!!

    "Zooropa... Vorsprung durch Technik
    Zooropa... be all that you can be
    Be a winner
    Eat to get slimmer" - Zooropa the song is so great!!!!!

    Stay (Faraway, So Close!) is probably the best U2 song lyrically in my opinion

    "Mother, am I still your son?
    You know I've waited for so long
    To hear you say so.
    Mother, you left and made me someone.
    Now I'm still a child, but no one tells me no." - Mofo is so great

    "Little sister
    I've been sleeping in the street again
    Like a stray dog
    Little sister
    I've been trying to feel complete again
    But you're gone and so is God"

    and from the same song -

    "For love and sex and faith and fear
    And all the things that keep us here
    In the mysterious distance
    Between a man and a woman" - A Man And A Woman is a great song I will never understand why people don't like it.



    there are so many more but off the top of my head this is my favorite...

    Mofo is just so candidly emotional...like being stabbed in the heart, and having it opened and all its contents revealed for the world to see.

    "When I was all messed up and I heard opera in my head, your love was a lightbulb hanging over by bed." -Ultraviolet

  3. You say you'll give me a highway with no-one on it
    Treasure just to look upon it
    All the riches in the night
    You say you'll give me eyes in a moon of blindness
    A river in a time of dryness
    A harbour in the tempest
    All the promises we make from the cradle to the grave
    When all I want is you

    The hands of love


    absolutely sick. End of the world is simply amazing
  5. "We eat and drink while tomorrow they die" -Sunday

    "A house doesn't make a home"-Sometimes

    "Hello Hello, I'm at a place called vertigo" -Vertigo

    "Sleep, Sleep tonight and may drwams be realized
    If the thunder clouds passes rain, So let it rain, rain dowmn on he." -MLK

    There's too many lines, phrases, and sentences that Bono has said and sang.
    Truely prolific and unending inspiration.
  6. Kite

    Something is about to give
    I can feel it coming
    I think I know what it is
    I'm not afraid to die
    I'm not afraid to live
    And when I'm flat on my back
    I hope to feel like I did

    ‘Cause hardness, it sets in
    You need some protection
    The thinner the skin

    I want you to know
    That you don't need me anymore
    I want you to know
    You don't need anyone, anything at all

    Who's to say where the wind will take you
    Who's to know what it is will break you
    I don't know which way the wind will blow
    Who's to know when the time has come around
    Don't wanna see you cry
    I know that this is not goodbye

    In summer I can taste the salt in the sea
    There's a kite blowing out of control on a breeze
    I wonder what's gonna happen to you
    You wonder what has happened to me

    I'm a man, I'm not a child
    A man who sees
    The shadow behind your eyes

    Who's to say where the wind will take you
    Who's to know what it is will break you
    I don't know where the wind will blow
    Who's to know when the time has come around
    I don't wanna see you cry
    I know that this is not goodbye

    Did I waste it?
    Not so much I couldn't taste it
    Life should be fragrant
    Roof top to the basement
    The last of the rock stars
    When hip hop drove the big cars
    In the time when new media
    Was the big idea
    That was the big idea
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    Kite is one, great lyric..especially the refrain: Who's to say where the wind will take you, Who's to know what it is will brake you, I don't know, where the wind will blow!

    Bono almost song: Who's to ssknow what it is will brake you..when they performed it live in Sydney, Telstra Stadium. Very funny, that version is great, but he almost messed it up
  7. Every lyric in Until the End of the World, especially: "Waves of regret, waves of joy. I reached out for the one I tried to destroy."

    COBL:
    I've seen you walk unafraid
    I've seen you in the clothes you made
    Can you see the beauty inside of me?
    What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?

    And later on:

    Time won't leave me as I am
    But time won't take the boy out of this man


    As a song-writer, Bono's not given the credit he deserves.
  8. ''it was a cold and wet december day, we touched the ground on JFK''


    love is blindnes
    ''A little death without mourning
    No call and no warning
    Baby, a dangerous idea
    That almost makes sense.''

    all of Grace but this sentence particulare;
    ''Grace, she carries a world on her hips
    No champagne flute for her lips
    No twirls or skips between her fingertips
    She carries a pearl in perfect condition''

    if god will send his angels;
    ''If God will send his angels
    I sure could use them here right now
    Well if God would send his angels
    Where do we go...''

    he can write thats for sure! to many to mention...
