Desert sky, dream beneath the desert sky.
The rivers run but soon run dry.
We need new dreams tonight.
Desert rose, dreamed I saw a desert rose
Dress torn in ribbons and bows
Like a siren she calls (to me).

Sleep comes like a drug in God's country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses, in God's country

Set me alight, we'll punch a hole right through the night.
Every day the dreamers die to see what's on the other side.
She is liberty, and she comes to rescue me.
Hope, faith, her vanity
The greatest gift is gold.

Sleep comes like a drug in God's country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses, in God's country

Naked flame, she stands with a naked flame
I stand with the sons of Cain
Burned by the fire of love
Burned by the fire of love.

What a great song.

 

[God's Hand]

One of my favourites.

 

[God's Hand]

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come, he to justify
One man to overthrow

Chorus:
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
In the name of love
One more in the name of love

One man come on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss

Chorus

Early morning, april four
Shot rings out in the memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride

Chorus

Spoken: for the reverent martin luther king - saint.

Chorus

In the name of love

 

[isamu]

I just KNOW this can't be the same God's Hand from OA.....


....it just can't be....

...can it?

 

[God's Hand]

Split personalities on the internet. Anonymity at its finest.

 

[isamu]

speechless.

But you do have a point there. I'm not like how I am on the net, at all.

 

[God's Hand]

I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I’m still running

You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it

But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for...

U2 rules!

 

[isamu]

Don't forget this one......

And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was
Lying still
Said I gotta do something
About where we're going

Step on a steam train
Step out of the driving rain, maybe
Run from the darkness in the night
Singing ha, ah la la la de day
Ah da da da de day
Ah la la de day

Sweet the sin
Bitter taste in my mouth
I see seven towers
But I only see one way out

You got to cry without weeping
Talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice

You know I took the poison
From the poison stream
Then I floated out of here
Singing...ha la la la de day
Ha la la la de day
Ha la la de day

She runs through the streets
With her eyes painted red
Under black belly of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway she brings me
White gold and pearls stolen from the sea
She is raging
She is raging
And the storm blows up in her eyes
She will...

Suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand...

Still.

Bloody fucking brilliant.

They fucking peaked with Achtung Baby.

 

[Socreges]

Don't forget this one......



Bloody fucking brilliant.

They fucking peaked with Achtung Baby.

That's from The Joshua Tree.

I was about to post the lyrics to The Refugee when I realized that it looks silly on paper. So everyone go download and listen...

I swear I did not know anything about this news when I started this thread, but look what I've just discovered....

U2 Inducted into Rock Hall

U2 was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame last night at New York City's Waldorf-Astoria on Monday night (March 14). To become eligible a band must have released their first record twenty-five years prior to the date they're eligible for induction. U2 released their album twenty five years ago, and singer Bono said during the band's acceptance speech that he feels like their latest album How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb is the band's first.

The U2 frontman said he's honored to go in, but even more honored that the band is going in on top of their game.

"Rolling Stone puts us on the cover of the magazine. Thank you very much Jann [Wenner]. MTV and VH1 still play our videos. College radio still believes in our band, and makes the band still believe in ourselves. It's an amazing place to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame feeling like this, feeling like you just put out your first album. It's a nice feeling, a very very special feeling.

And I see around friends and people that we've worked for for a long time and generally don't do the big thank you speeches just because they're boring -- but why stop the tradition of a lifetime. It's too many people in the room to thank, but I'd like to thank the really gorgeous women that worked for us for a long time because they're fun to thank."

U2 was presented into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame by Bruce Springsteen, who gave a very humorous speech about his friends band, U2 was joined at the ceremony for presentation into the hall by fellow inductees Buddy Guy, The Pretenders, The O'Jays, Percy Sledge, talent agent Frank Barsalona and record executive Seymour Stein.

Finally! They deserve it.

In the shit house a shotgun
Praying hands hold me down
Only the hunter was hunted
In this tin can town
Tin can town

No stars in the black night
Looks like the sky fell down
No sun in the daylight
Looks like it's chained to the ground
Chained to the ground
The warden said
The exit is sold
If you want a way out
Silver and gold

Broken back to the ceiling
Broken nose to the floor
I scream at the silence, it's crawling
It crawls under the door
There's a rope around my neck
And there's a trigger in your gun
Jesus say something
I am someone, I am someone
I am someone

Captain and kings
In the ships hold
They came to collect
Silver and gold
Silver and gold

Seen the coming and going
Seen them captains and the kings
See them navy blue uniforms
See them bright and shiny things
Bright shiny things

The temperature is rising
The fever white hot
Mister, I ain't got nothing
But it's more than you got

Chains no longer bind me
Not the shackles at my feet
Outside are the prisoners
Inside the free
Set them free
Set them free

A prize fighter in a corner is told
Hit where it hurts
Silver and gold
Silver and gold

[spoken part follows:]

Yep, silver and gold...

This song was written in a hotel room in New York city 'round about the time a friend of ours, little Steven, was puting together a record of artists against apartheid. This is a song written about a man in a shanty town outside of Johannesburg. A man who's sick of looking down the barrel of white South Africa. A man who is at the point where he is ready to take up arms against his oppressor. A man who has lost faith in the peacemakers of the west while they argue and while they fail to support a man like bishop Tutu and his request for economic sanctions against South Africa.

Am I buggin' you? I don't mean to bug ya...

Okay Edge, play the blues...

Bono...where has your brilliant mind gone to?

 

[isamu]

they deserve the hall of fame status

 

[dtrip]

We crossed the line
Who pushed who over
It doesn't matter to you
It matters to me


We're cut adrift
But still floating
I'm only hanging on
To watch you go down
My love


I disappeared in you
You disappeared from me
I gave you everything you ever wanted
It wasn't what you wanted


The men who love you, you hate the most
They pass right through you like a ghost
They look for you but your spirit is in the air
Baby, you're nowhere


Oh...love...you say in love there are no rules
Oh...love...sweetheart...
You're so cruel


Desperation is a tender trap
It gets you every time
You put your lips to her lips
To stop the lie


Her skin is pale like God's only dove
Screams like an angel for your love
Then she makes you watch her from above
And you need her like a drug


Oh...love...you say in love there are no rules
Oh...love...sweetheart...
You're so cruel


She wears my love like a see-through dress
Her lips say one thing
Her movements something else
Oh love...like a screaming flower
Love...dying every hour...love


You don't know if it's fear or desire
Danger the drug that takes you higher
Head in heaven, fingers in the mire


Her heart is racing, you can't keep up
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust
We are trampled underfoot


Oh...love...you say in love there are no rules
Oh...love...sweetheart...
You're so cruel


Oh...love...to stay with you I'd be a fool
Sweetheart...you're so cruel

 

[dtrip]

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate


If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame


If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day


To let it go
And so to fade away
To let it go
And so fade away


I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no


If you should ask then maybe they'd
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes


If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go...


This desperation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
Let it go


And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so to fade away


I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no
