But I know nothing of such things.

Amen to that. While I will always have Bad as my number one song; So Cruel beats it in terms of lyrics. For me, these are the best he has ever written; multiple brilliant couplets that deserve their time on the big stage. A beautiful acoustic version with Edge, like SATS or Stay would be awesome to hear on tour. This one is just a teaser of what it could be.
