U2 Lyrics

(These are lyrics from U2-How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. The lyrics listed below especially caught my attention as I listened to this CD today.)

A feeling is so much stronger than A thought
And though your soul … It can’t be bought … Your mind can wander

—————————–
Freedom has a scent Like the top of a new born baby’s head

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…

—————————–
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

—————————–
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

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

—————————–
True love never can be rent
But only true love can keep beauty innocent

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

The soul needs beauty for a soul mate
When the soul wants… the soul waits …

—————————–
CRUMBS FROM YOUR TABLE
(This song speaks volumes to me about our role here on this earth to bring love to people in very tangible ways.)

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

—————————–
Baby slow down
The end is not as fun as the start
Please stay a child somewhere in your heart

Some things you shouldn’t get too good at
Like smiling, crying and celebrity
Some people got way too much confidence baby

—————————–
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
