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

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

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

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.
