SLUG (4:41)
Don't want to lose my shirt
Don't want to dig the dirt
Don't want you to get hurt
Can't help that I'm a flirt
Don't want to take your drugs
Don't want to be a slug
Don't want to overdress
Don't want to make a mess
Don't want you to confess
Not under duress
Don't want to be untrue
I want to be with you
Don't want to lose my nerve
Don't want to call the curve
Don't want to make you swerve
Don't want what I deserve
Don't want to change the frame
Don't want to be a pain
Don't want to stay the same
YOUR BLUE ROOM (5:28)
Bono:
It's time to go again
To your blue room
Got some questions to ask of you
In your blue room
The air is clean
Your skin is clear
I've had enough fun hanging 'round here
It's a different kind of conversation
In your blue room
Saw me coming
In outside
Saw me coming
Somewhere I can hide
And time is a string of pearls. . .your blue room
See the future just hanging there. . .your blue room
And you frame a new perspective
Looking down on my objectives
Your instructions whatever their directions
Your blue room
Saw me coming
East by the moon
Saw me coming
Can you feel
It's alright
Your blue room
One day I'll be back. . .your blue room
Yeah, I hope I remember where it's at. . .your blue room
We see me slide
Won't you give me a home
So much for change
Adam:
Zooming in
Zooming out
Nothing I can't do without
A lense to see it all up close
Magnifying what no one knows
Never in company
Never alone
No car alarm
No cellular phone
MISS SARAJEVO (5:41)
Is there a time for keeping your distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day
Is there a time for kohl or lipstick
A time for cutting hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear
Here she comes - heads turn around
Here she comes - to take her crown
Is there a time to run for cover
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colors,
Different names you find hard to spell
Is there a time for first communion
A time for East 17
Is there time to turn to Mecca
Is there time to be a beauty queen
Here she comes - beauty plays the clown
Here she comes - surreal in her crown
Dici che il fiume trova la via al mare
Che come il fiume giungerai a me
Oltre i confini e le terre assetate
Dici che come fiume, come fiume
L'amore giungera, l'amore
E non so piu pregare
E nell'amore non so piu sperare
E quell'amore non so piu aspettare
Is there a time for tying ribbons
A time for Christmas trees
Is there a time for laying tables
When the night is set to freeze
ITO OKASKI (3:25)
Holi
Utsukushiki mononi tuite katarimasho
Chikyujono anatano sugu chikakuno
Omomukino arumononi tuite
Muneno kodoo takameru monono yoni
Kito narikaga ito okashi
ONE MINUTE WARNING (4:40)
A lonesome soul
In an old black boat
A lonesome frown
What a way to go
Chasing though
The strings to hold
In an old black coat
A lonesome soul
A lonesome soul
A lonesome soul
CORPSE (THESE CHAINS ARE WAY TOO LONG)
The Edge
Hey, see you soon
Sail through your room
I'll meet you there
Hey, be my friend
Stay till the end
Don't walk away
Hey, hey, hey, hey...
Hey, take 'em off
Don't talk that way
Don't feel my lover say
Hey, hey, hey...
Chains move that thing
Chains we can see
My chains way too long
Chains in this
Chains move that thing
Chains we could see
Chains are way too long
And I hear my song
Hear my song
ELVIS ATE AMERICA
Howie B. - Elvis (Repeated)
Bono
White trash
The Memphis flash
Didn't smoke hash
Woulda been a sissy without Johnny Cash
Didn't dodge the draft
Had his own aircraft
Having a laugh
On the Lisa Marie in a color photograph
Under the hood
Cadillac blood
Darling bud
Flowered and returned to the Mississippi mud
Ain't gonna rot
In a Memphis plot
Didn't hear the shot
but Dr. King died just across the lot (from)
Vanilla ice cream
Girls of 14
Memphis spleen
Shooting tvs, reading Corinthians 13
With God on his knees
On the three TVs
Here come the killer bees
Head full o' honey, potato chips and cheese
The bumper stickers
The white knickers
The white nigger
Ate at Burger King and just kept getting bigger
Sang to win
The battle hymn
The battle to be slim
Ate America before America ate him
Stamps
Necromance
Fans
Sycophants
The public enemy
Don't mean shit to Chuck D.
Changed the center of gravity
Made it slippy
Hitler
Nixon
Christ
Mishima
Marcus
Jackson
The pelvis
The psalmist
The genius
The generous
Forgive us
Pray for us
Aaron
Presley
Elvis
