    The key word is "Nations", as in not "Countries". Think about it.

    Yes,
    but the verse lyrics/ singing were never a problem.
  10. I think it is arguable to have it as a lead single, its a nice song but there are far better on the album which would not have fitted as lead singles. Its like saying Running to Stand Still should have been lead single (if a single at all), I thinks its the best song on the Joshua Tree, but far from a lead single.


  11. I agree. I can only think of Fire and possibly Last Night On Earth as being poorer singles put out by the band. The Justice remix is exactly the kind of thing I was expecting/hoping for on this album and that remix shows up the original version as the piece of misjudged faux-swagger it is.
