Sunday Bloody Sunday (Bono, Clayton, Edge, Mullen) - 4:38
I can't believe the news today
I can't close my eyes and make it go away
How long, how long must we sing this song
How long, how long
Tonight we can be as one, tonight
Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across a dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
Trenches dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
How long, how long must we sing this song
How long, how long
'Cause tonight we can be as one
Tonight, tonight
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Tonight, tonight
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Tonight, tonight
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
I wipe your tears away
I wipe your tears away
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Wipe your blood shot eyes
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and T.V. reality
Sunday, bloody Sunday
And today the millions cry
Sunday, bloody Sunday
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
Sunday, bloody Sunday
The real battle just begun
Sunday, bloody Sunday
To claim the victory Jesus won
On a Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Seconds (U2) - 3:24
It takes a second to say goodbye
Say goodbye
It takes a second to say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say bye bye
Where you going to now
Lightning flashes across the sky
East to west, do or die
Like a thief in the night
See the world by candlelight
Fall, rise and fall, rise and
In an apartment on Times Square
You can assemble them anywhere
Held to ransom, held to pay
A revolution every day
U.S.S.R., D.D.R.
London, New York, Peking
It's the puppets,
It's the puppets pulling the strings
Fall, rise and fall, rise and
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye
I wanna be an airforce ranger
I wanna be an airforce ranger
I wanna live the life of danger
I wanna live the life of danger
It takes a second to say goodbye
Say goodbye
Push the button and pull the plug
Say goodbye
Fall, rise and fall, rise and
This is the rise and fall
The rise and fall
And they're doing the atomic bomb
Do they know where the dance comes from
Yes, they're doing the atomic bomb
They want you to sing along
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye
New Year's Day (U2) - 5:38
All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
And I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Under a blood-red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few,
The newspapers say, say, say it's true
And we can break through,
Though torn in two, we can be one
I will begin again, I will begin again
Oh and maybe the time is right
Oh maybe tonight
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
And so we are told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's day
Like a Song... (U2) - 4:48
Like a song I have to sing
I sing it for you
Like the words I have to bring
I bring them for you
And in leather, lace and chains
We stake our claim
Revolution once again
No I won't, I won't wear it on my sleeve
I can see through this expression
And you know I don't believe
I'm too wrong to be told 'exactly who are you'
Tonight, tomorrow's too late
And we love to wear a badge, a uniform
And we love to fly a flag
But I won't let others live in hell
As we divide against each other
And we fight amongst ourselves
Too set in our ways to try to rearrange
Too right to be wrong, in this rebel song
Let the bells ring out
Let the bells wring out
Is there nothing left
Is there, is there nothing left
Is honesty what you want
A generation without name
Ripped and torn
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
Nothing at all
And if you can't help yourself
Well, take a look around you
When others need your time
You say it's time to go
It's your time
Angry words won't stop the fight
Two wrongs won't make it right
A new heart is what I need
Oh God, make it bleed
Is there nothing left
Drowning Man (U2) - 4:12
Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can I'll cross
The sky for your love
For I have promised, oh
To be with you tonight
And for the time that will come
Take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can I'll cross
The sky for your love
And I understand
These winds and tides
This change of times
Won't drag you away
Hold on, hold on tightly
Hold on and don't let go
Of my love
The storms will pass
It won't be long now
The storms will pass
But my love lasts forever
And take my hand
You know I'll be there
If you can I'll cross the sky
For your love
Give you what I hold dear
Hold on, hold on tightly
Hold on, hold on tightly
Rise up, rise up
With wings like eagles
You'll run, you'll run
You'll run and not grow weary
Take my hand, take my hand
Hold on tightly
Hold on tightly
This love will last forever
This love will last forever
Take my hand
Take my hand
The Refugee (U2) - 3:40
War, war
She's the refugee
I see your face
I see you staring back at me
War, war
She's the refugee
Her mama say one day she's gonna live in America
In the morning, she is waiting
Waiting for the ship to sail, sail away
War, war
Her papa go to war
He gonna fight
But he just don't know what for
War, war
Her papa go to war
Her mama say one day he's gonna come back from far away
Help me
How can you help me
In the evening she is waiting
Waiting for her man to come
And take her by her hand
And take her to this promised land
War, war
She's a pretty face
Born at the wrong time in the wrong place
War, war
She's a pretty face
Her mama say one days she's gonna live in America
Yeah, America
War, war
She's a refugee
She's coming man, she's come to keep you company
War, war
She's a refugee
Her mama say one day she's gonna live in America
Two Hearts Beat As One (U2) - 5:00
I don't know
I don't know which side I'm on
I don't know my right from left
Or my right from wrong
They say I'm a fool
They say I'm nothing
But if I'm a fool for you
Oh, that's something
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts
I can't stop to dance
Honey, this is my last chance
I said, can't stop to dance
Maybe this is my last chance
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts
Beat on black, beat on white
Beat on anything, don't get it right
Beat on you, beat on me, beat on love
I don't know how to say
What's got to be said
I don't know if it's black or white
There's others see it red
I don't get the answers right
I'll leave that to you
Is this love out of fashion
Or is it the time of year
Are these words distraction
To the words you wanna hear
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts
I try to spit it out
Try to explain the way I wanna feel, oh, yeah
Two hearts
Well I can't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance
I said I can't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance
I said don't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance
I said I can't stop the dance
Maybe this is our last chance
I said don't stop the dance
Maybe this is our last chance
Red Light (U2) - 4:09
I talk to you, you walk away
You're still on the down beat
You say you don't want my help
But you can't escape
If you're running from yourself
I give you my love
I give you my love
Give you my love
Still you walk away
It's your own late show
As you jump to the street below
But where can you go
To leave yourself behind
Alone in the spotlight
Of this, your own tragedy
I give you my love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love
In the heart, in the heart
In the heart of the city
Heart, in the heart
In the heart of the city
Oh, love
I pour my love out for you
And I'll bring you through
See you night and day
I give you my love, give you my love
Give you my love, give you my love
Give you my love, give you my love
Give you my love, give you my love
Give you my love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love
Surrender (U2) - 6:01
The city's alight with lovers and lies
Bright blue eyes
The city is bright
It's brighter than day tonight
Surrender, surrender
Surrender, surrender
Sadie said she couldn't work out
What it was all about and so she let go
Now Sadie's on the street
And the people she meets, you know
She tried to be a good girl and a good wife
Raise a good family, lead a good life
It's not good enough
She got herself up on the 48th floor
Got to find out, find out what she's living for
Surrender, surrender
Surrender, surrender
Tonight
The city's a fire, a passionate flame
That knows me by name
The city's desire to take me for more and more
It's in the street getting under my feet
It's in the air, it's everywhere I look for you
It's in the things I do and say
If I want to live
I've got to die to myself someday
Papa sing my sing my sing my song
Papa sing my sing my sing my song
Papa sing my sing my sing my song
Papa sing my sing my sing my song
Surrender, surrender
Surrender, surrender
40 (U2) - 2:08
I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He brought me up out of the pit
Out of the miry clay
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long, how long, how long
How long to sing this song
He set my feet upon a rock
And made my footsteps firm
Many will see
Many will see and hear
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long, how long, how long
How long to sing this song
