  1. U2.com's lyrics are often bafflingly bad. For Moment of Surrender, one of the best lyrics in this incredible song - 'every eye looking every other way counting down til the pain will stop' - has (or at least used to have) 'counting down til the Pentecost' on U2.com. Sorry... what? That's not even an unclear lyric!

  6. Beginning of Blackout, I was convinced he was singing 'dancehall wonders why it walks the Earth' - and thus I was baffled.

    Ha! Sure Bono writes some nonsense lyrics every now and then, but that would've been a bit too much!
  8. Here we can discuss @miryclay's insistence that Bono is singing "Salvation Army Blues" in Angel of Harlem
  9. *~discuss~*
  10. Lol, There’s nothing to discuss he isn’t.
  11. Edge's backing vocals on mofo always caught me out never knew what he was singing for years as no website had the exact lyrics until U2 start put them up

    Holy dunc, spacejunk coming in for the splash

  12. I actually meant 'Salvation in the Blues'. That is what I originally posted.
