I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking for (From The Joshua Tree)
I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her finger tips
It burned like fire
(I was) burning inside her
I have spoken with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for (Repeat)
I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
But yes, I’m still running
You broke the bonds
And you loosed the chains
Carried the cross of my shame
Oh my shame, you know I believe it
But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for (Repeat)
With or Without You (From The Joshua Tree)
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes you wait
And I wait…without you
With or without you, with or without you
Through the storm, we reach the shore
You gave it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for you…
With or without you, with or without you
I can’t live with or without you
And you give yourself away×4
My hands are tied, my body bruised
She got me with nothing to win
And nothing else to lose
And you give yourself away×4
With or without you, with or without you
I can’t live with or without you (Repeat)
Vertigo (From How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb)
Unos dos tres catorce!
Lights go down, it’s dark
The jungle is your heart
A feeling is so much stronger than
A thought
Your eyes are wide
And though your soul
It can’t be bought
Your mind can wander
Hello hello
I’m at a place called Vertigo
It’s everything I wish I didn’t know
Except you give me something I can feel, feel
The night is full of holes
As bullets rip the sky
Of ink with gold
They twinkle as the
Boys play rock and roll
They know they can’t dance
At least they know…
I can’t stand the beats
I’m asking for the cheque
The girl with crimson nails
Has Jesus round her neck
Singing to the music
Singing to the music
Oh oh oh oh
Hello hello
I’m at a place called Vertigo
It’s everything I wish I didn’t know
But you give me something I can feel, feel
Check mated
Oh yeah
Hours of fun
All of this, all of this can be yours (Repeat)
All of this, all of this can be yours,
Just give me what I want and no-one gets hurt…
Hello hello
We’re at a place called Vertigo
Lights go down and all I know
Is that you give me something
I can feel your love teaching me how
Your love is teaching me how, how to kneel…
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
New Years Day (From War)
All is quiet on New Year’s Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you, be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year’s Day
On New Year’s Day
I…will be with you again (repeat)
Under a blood-red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspaper says, says
Say it’s true, it’s true…
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one
I…will be with you again (repeat)
Oh, oh, Oh, oh, Oh, oh
Oh, maybe the time is right
Oh, maybe tonight
I will be with you again
I will be with your again
And so we are told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes
On New Year’s Day×3
Sunday Bloody Sunday (From War)
I can’t believe the news today
I can’t close my eyes and make it go away
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
Cos tonight
We can be as one, tonight
Broken bottles under children’s feet
Bodies strewn across the dead-end street
But I won’t heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, bloody Sunday×4
Oh, let’s go
And the battle’s just begun
There’s many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart
Sunday, bloody Sunday (repeat)
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
Cos tonight
We can be as one, tonight
Sunday, bloody Sunday (repeat)
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
I’ll wipe your tears away×2
I’ll wipe your bloodshot eyes
Sunday, bloody Sunday (repeat)
And it’s true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On…
Sunday, bloody Sunday (repeat)
One (From Achtung Baby)
Is it getting better, or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you, now you got someone to blame?
You say one love, one life, when it’s one need in the night
One love, we get to share it
Leaves you baby if you don’t care for it
Did I disappoint you or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love and you want me to go without
Well, it’s too late tonight to drag the past out into the light
We’re one, but we’re not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other….one
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head?
Did I ask too much, more than a lot
You gave me nothing, now it’s all I got
We’re one, but we’re not the same
Well, we hurt each other, then we do it again
You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law
You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl
And I can’t be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt
One love, one blood, one life, you got to do what you should
One life with each other: sisters, brothers
One life, but we’re not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One, one
Walk on (From All that You Can’t Leave Behind)
And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring…
And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can’t leave behind
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it’s a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
Walk on, walk on
What you got they can’t steal it
No they can’t even feel it
Walk on, walk on…
Stay safe tonight
You’re packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom
Walk on, walk on
What you’ve got they can’t deny it
Can’t sell it, can’t buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Home…hard to know what it is if you’ve never had one
Home…I can’t say where it is but I know I’m going home
That’s where the hurt is
I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Leave it behind
You’ve got to leave it behind
