Vertigo
Sonnerie
Un, dos, tres... catorce
[Spoken vocal]
Turn it up loud, Captain!
Lights go down it’s dark
The jungle is your head
- can’t rule your heart
I’m feeling so much stronger
than before
Your eyes are wide
And though your soul
it can’t be bought
You might be wonder
Hello, hello... (Ola)
I'm at a place called
Vertigo (dónde estás?)
It’s everything I wish
I didn’t know
Except you give me something...
I can feel, feel
The night is full of
holes
There's bullets ripping
sky of ink with gold
They twinkle as the boys
play rock and roll
They know that they can’t
dance - at least they know
I can’t stand the beat
I’m asking for the cheque
Girl with crimson nails
It's Jesus 'round her
neck
Swinging to the music
Whoooaaa
Swinging to the music
Whoooaaa
Whoooaaa
Whoooaaa
Whoooaaa
Hello, hello... (Ola)
I'm at a place called
Vertigo (dónde estás?)
It’s everything I wish
I didn’t know
But you give me something...
I can feel, feel
Shake it...
Just for...
Jumping in... yeah
[Edge solo]
All of this... all of
this can be yours
All of this... all of
this can be yours
All of this... all of
this can be yours
Just give me what I want
and no one gets hurt
Hello, hello... (Ola)
We're at a place called
Vertigo (dónde estás?)
Lights go down and no
one knows
That you give me something...
I can feel your love
teaching me
Aaahhhhh-aaahhh-aaahhh-aaahhh...
Your love is teaching
me
Aaahhhhh-aaahhh-aaahhh-aaahhh...
How to kneel, kneel
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, YEAH,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, YEEEAAAAH!
Sometimes You Can'T Make
It On Your OwnSonnerie
Tough, you think you've
got the stuff
You're telling me and
anyone
You're hard enough
You don't have to put
up a fight
You don't have to always
be right
Let me take some of the
punches
For you tonight
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go
it alone
And it's you when I look
in the mirror
And it's you when I don't
pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make
it on your own
We fight all the time
You and I...that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need...I don't
need to hear you say
That if we weren't so
alike
You'd like me a whole
lot more
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go
it alone
And it's you when I look
in the mirror
And it's you when I don't
pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make
it on your own
I know that we don't
talk
I'm sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me
- when - I -
Sing, you're the reason
I sing
You're the reason why
the opera is in me...
Where are we now?
I've still got to let
you know
A house still doesn't
make a home
Don't leave me here alone...
And it's you when I look
in the mirror
And it's you that makes
it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make
it on your own
Sometimes you can't make
it
The best you can do is
to fake it
Sometimes you can't make
it on your own
City Of Blinding Lights
The more you see the
less you know
The less you find out
as you go
I knew much more then
than I do now
Neon heart dayglo eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They’re advertising in
the skies
For people like us
And I miss you when you’re
not around
I’m getting ready to
leave the ground….
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Oh you look so beautiful
tonight
In the city of blinding
lights
Don’t look before you
laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can’t see
I’ve seen you walk unafraid
I’ve seen you in the
clothes you made
Can you see the beauty
inside of me?
What happened to the
beauty I had inside of me
And I miss you when you’re
not around
I’m getting ready to
leave the ground
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Oh you look so beautiful
tonight
In the city of blinding
lights
Time… time
Won’t leave me as I am
But time won’t take the
boy out of this man
Oh you look so beautiful
tonight
Oh you look so beautiful
tonight
Oh you look so beautiful
tonight
In the city of blinding
lights
The more you know the
less you feel
Some pray for others
steal
Blessings are not just
for the ones who kneel… luckily
A Man And
A Woman
Little sister don’t you
worry about a thing today
Take the heat from the
sun
Little sister
I know that everything
is not ok
But you’re like honey
on my tongue
True love never can be
rent
But only true love can
keep beauty innocent
I could never take a
chance
Of losing love to find
romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
No I could never take
a chance
‘Cos I could never understand
The mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
You can run from love
And if it’s really love
it will find you
Catch you by the heel
But you can’t be numb
for love
The only pain is to feel
nothing at all
How can I hurt when I’m
holding you?
I could never take a
chance
Of losing love to find
romance
In the mysterious distance
Between e man and a woman
And you’re the one, there’s
no-one else
You make me want to lose
myself
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
Brown eyed girl across
the street
On rue Saint Divine
I thought this is the
one for me
But she was already mine
You were already mine…
Little sister
I’ve been sleeping in
the street again
Like a stray dog
Little sister
I’ve been trying to feel
complete again
But you’re gone and so
is God
The soul needs beauty
for a soul mate
When the soul wants…
the soul waits …
No I could never take
a chance
On losing love to find
romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
For love and sex and
faith and fear
And all the things that
keep us here
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
How can I hurt when I’m
holding you?
One Step Closer
I'm 'round the corner
from anything that's real
I'm across the road from
hope
I'm under a bridge in
a rip tide
That's taken everything
I call my own
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
I'm on an island at a
busy intersection
I can't go forward, I
can't turn back
Can't see the future
It's getting away from
me
I just watch the tail
lights glowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
Knowing, knowing
I'm hanging out to dry
With my old clothes
Finger still red with
the prick of an old rose
Well the heart that hurts
Is a heart that beats
Can you hear the drummer
slowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
To knowing, to knowing,
to knowing
U2 - Fast
Cars
My cell is ringing
No ID
I need to know who's
calling
My garden's overgrown
I go out on my belly
crawling
I got CCTV, pornography,
CNBC
I got the nightly news
To get to know the enemy
All I want is a picture
of you
All I want is to get
right next to you
All I want is your face
in a locket
Picture in my pocket
I take a pill to stop
it
I know these fast cars
Will do me no good
I'm going nowhere
Where I am it is a lot
of fun
They're in the desert
to dismantle an atomic bomb
I watch them channel
hop
Check the stocks
I'm in detox
I want the lot of what
you've got
If what you've got can
make this stop
All I want is a picture
of you
All I want is to be right
next to you
All I want is your picture
in a locket
Your face in my pocket
Take a pill to stop it
I know these fast cars
Will do me no good
Don't you worry about
your mind
Don't you worry about
your mind
Don't you worry about
your mind
Don't you worry about
your mind
You should worry about
the day
That the pain it goes
away
You know I miss mine
sometimes
There is no fiction
That will truly fit the
situation
I'm documenting every
detail
Every conversation
I'm not used to talking
to somebody in their body
Look, there's somebody
in a body, somebody in a body

Miracle
Drug
I want to trip inside
your head
Spend the day there…
To hear the things you
haven’t said
And see what you might
see
I want to hear you when
you call
Do you feel anything
at all?
I want to see your thoughts
take shape
And walk right out
Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new
born baby’s head
The songs are in your
eyes
I see them when you smile
I’ve had enough I’m not
giving up
On a miracle drug
Of science and the human
heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here
sweetheart
Just when you quit…
I am you and you are
mine
Love makes nonsense of
space
And time… will disappear
Love and logic keep us
clear
Reason is on our side,
love…
The songs are in your
eyes
I see them when you smile
I’ve had enough of romantic
love
I’d give it up, yeah,
I’d give it up
For a miracle, a miracle
drug, a miracle drug
God I need your help
tonight
Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear a voice
It’s whispering
In science and in medicine
“I was a stranger
You took me in”
The songs are in your
eyes
I see them when you smile
I’ve had enough of romantic
love
I’d give it up, yeah,
I’d give it up
For a miracle, miracle
drug
Miracle, miracle drug
Love And
Peace Or Else
Lay down
Lay down
Lay your sweet lovely
on the ground
Lay your love on the
track
We're gonna break the
monster's back
Yes we are...
Lay down your treasure
Lay it down now brother
You don't have time
For a jealous lover
As you enter this life
I pray you depart
With a wrinkled face
And a brand new heart
I don't know if I can
take it
I'm not easy on my knees
Here's my heart you can
break it
I need some release,
release, release
We need
Love and peace
Love and peace
Lay down
Lay down your guns
All your daughters of
Zion
All your Abraham sons
I don't know if I can
make it
I'm not easy on my knees
Here's my heart and you
can break it
I need some release,
release, release
We need
Love and peace
Love and peace
Baby don't fight
We can talk this thing
through
It's not a big problem
It's just me and you
You can call or I'll
phone
The TV is still on
But the sound is turned
down
And the troops on the
ground
Are about to dig in
And I wonder where is
the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Love and peace
All Because Of You
I was born a child of
grace
Nothing else about the
place
Everything was ugly but
your beautiful face
And it left me no illusion
I saw you in the curve
of the moon
In the shadow cast across
my room
You heard me in my tune
When I just heard confusion
All because of you (x3)
I am… I am
I like the sound of my
own voice
I didn’t give anyone
else a choice
An intellectual tortoise
Racing with your bullet
train
Some people get squashed
crossing the tracks
Some people got high
rises on their backs
I’m not broke but you
can see the cracks
You can make me perfect
again
All because of you (x3)
I am… I am
I’m alive
I’m being born
I just arrived, I’m at
the door
Of the place I started
out from
And I want back inside
All because of you (x3)
I am
Crumbs From Your Table
From the brightest star
Comes the blackest hole
You had so much to offer
Why did you offer your
soul?
I was there for you baby
When you needed my help
Would you deny for others
What you demand for yourself?
Cool down mama, cool
off
Cool down mama, cool
off
You speak of signs and
wonders
I need something other
I would believe if I
was able
But I’m waiting on the
crumbs from your table
You were pretty as a
picture
It was all there to see
Then your face caught
up with your psychology
With a mouth full of
teeth
You ate all your friends
And you broke every heart
thinking every heart mends
You speak of signs and
wonders
But I need something
other
I would believe if I
was able
But I’m waiting on the
crumbs from your table
Where you live should
not decide
Whether you live or whether
you die
Three to a bed
Sister Ann, she said
Dignity passes by
And you speak of signs
and wonders
But I need something
other
I would believe if I
was able
I’m waiting on the crumbs
from your table
Original
Of The Species
Baby slow down
The end is not as fun
as the start
Please stay a child somewhere
in your heart
I’ll give you everything
you want
Except the thing that
you want
You are the first one
of your kind
And you feel like no-one
before
You steal right under
my door
And I kneel ‘cos I want
you some more
I want the lot of what
you got
And I want nothing that
you’re not
Everywhere you go you
shout it
You don’t have to be
shy about it
Some things you shouldn’t
get too good at
Like smiling, crying
and celebrity
Some people got way too
much confidence baby
I’ll give you everything
you want
Except the thing that
you want
You are the first one
of your kind
And you feel like no-one
before
You steal right under
my door
I kneel ‘cos I want you
some more
I want the lot of what
you got
And I want nothing that
you’re not
Everywhere you go you
shout it
You don’t have to be
shy about it, no
And you’ll never be alone
Come on now show your
soul
You’ve been keeping your
love under control
Everywhere you go you
shout it
You don’t have to be
shy about it
Everywhere you go you
shout it
Oh my my
And you feel like no-one
before
You steal right under
my door
I kneel ‘cos I want you
some more
I want you some more,
I want you some more…
Yahweh
Take these shoes
Click clacking down some
dead end street
Take these shoes
And make them fit
Take this shirt
Polyester white trash
made in nowhere
Take this shirt
And make it clean, clean
Take this soul
Stranded in some skin
and bones
Take this soul
And make it sing
Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a
child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I’m waiting for
the dawn
Take these hands
Teach them what to carry
Take these hands
Don’t make a fist
Take this mouth
So quick to criticise
Take this mouth
Give it a kiss
Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a
child is born
Yahewh, Yahweh
Still I’m waiting for
the dawn
Still waiting for the
dawn, the sun is coming up
The sun is coming up
on the ocean
This love is like a drop
in the ocean
This love is like a drop
in the ocean
Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a
child is born
Yahweh, tell me now
Why the dark before the
dawn?
Take this city
A city should be shining
on a hill
Take this city
If it be your will
What no man can own,
no man can take
Take this heart
Take this heart
Take this heart
And make it break |
