    The fish and the bycicle is rather weird too. It just fits very well in the song, I guess.


  4. I think he's trying to capture the feel of Dali's work with that line, remember Dali was a surrealist which means the weirder the better.

    PS: I love how Edge & Bono sing the following line "took an open top Beetle. through the eye of a needle" in the album version
  5. Such a great song,I mean,no song can ever have a line about Dali with a trolley

    And a very underrated song.I think that's because people do not pay enough attention because it seems a little ridiculuous and careless.
  6. or probably better saying because the band does not pay enough attention ... rehearsed and not played .. 3 snippets in 20 years ..
  7. That's also true,but on the other hand,where would you put this song in a 360 setlist if you decided to play it ?
    Its uniqueness makes it hard to reach,maybe that's a reason.
  8. uh for me wherever they'd like to .. but reasoning in " show structure" ... Stuck .. In A Little While .. are nice spots .. MIss Sarajevo .. Your Blue Room .. or where Stay .. Electrical Storm were .. just making examples
  9. I love the song and I have some great memories attached to it, but I think it doesn't fit in any of the post-ZooTV tours. I am almost glad that they haven't played it since the end of that tour, I feel like it just "belongs" there.
  10. did you think the same of Ultra Violet in 2008?

    i personally think it would have fit at In A Little While spot .. and better

    I really do hope that you're not actually comparing both songs...
  12. And a woman needs a man
    Like a fish needs a bicycle
