  1. And while we're about it, anyone else thinking of Babyface?
    "Coming home late at night to turn you on,
    Checking out every frame,
    I've got slow motion on my side
    Turning around and around with sound
    And colour under my control,
    Go round and around, going down,
    Dressed up like a lovely day..."

    Didn't Bono say something about this one being about a business man in a hotel watching cable porn? Or did I make that up/imagine it?

  2. Originally posted by gmc:Babyface --- Sexual connotations and overtones in the lyrics about watching an adult education movie and endulging in self pleasure.


    Ah, I'm not the only one who sees it that way...

    yeah Babyface is definitely sexual. "let me untie your lace..." many of their songs have sexual connotations but I still think that almost implicitly Velvet Dress is the most obvious, lots of 90s U2 oozes sex though

    weren't Adam and Naomi an inspiration for this song? I seem to recall hearing or reading something to that effect
  6. Bono said An Cat Dubh is about sex, didn't he?
  7. Haven't Bono said that EBTTRT is about sex too?

    And I mean:
    "Give me one more chance
    Let me be your lover tonight"

    and

    Give me half a chance
    To ride on the waves that you bring

    You're honey child to a swarm of bees
    Gonna blow right through you like a breeze
    Give me one last dance
    We'll slide down the surface of things

    check the video to the song and you won't have to think about this one very much...


  9. yep, wrote it when him and Ali were on a 'break', can't remember all the details but its in "Into the Heart" by Niall Stokes which unfortunately is not with me at school or I would quote for you haha


  10. lol very true! love that video, wish there was a version of the song that had all that interference
  11. Adam quote from Q magazine September 1993 about Babyface in the review for the album ----- It's been called a masturbation anthem ?(laughs) I'm sure there are higher motives involved.


  12. yeah, it's true but that music video makes me feel sick. all that spinning...
