Some of the lyrics really need to be better though, like in Cedars a song which is carried by the vocals/lyrics and he sings about a soldier bringing oranges from a truck
Well, that sentence is amazing IMO. Have you ever heard of the humanitarian help carried by soldiers on some countries? They go there with tanks and rifles, but then they give oranges and milk for free... It's awesome in my opinion.
I still think like that. That sentence is moving, it always gets me
[..]The "oranges from a tank" line is one of the bests for me. I explained that a few ago in the Dissapointed thread... [..]Well, that sentence is amazing IMO.

never thought of it like that, thanks, now i dunt hate it
now what about the return the call to home line???? lol
Love it, love how Bono sings it
Beautiful lyrics and melody
BTW I remember that I said this was a Velvet Dress rip-off after hearing the 30s clips...May I please take that back?
After 10000000 listens it's still my fav ever. Beautiful lyrics, shows exactly the troubles War-journalists have to deal with

I like it too, especially coupled with the next line, where the narrator is complaining about the waiter being slow.

About lyrics:
Squeezing complicated lives into a simple headline
Best lyric of the album
this has grown to be my favorite track off NLOTH, check the bass line.
This song is nothing more then a grown up/out version of The Ocean (except lyrically perhaps, but musically for certain).
simply beautiful
