A Sort of Homecoming (U2) - 5:28
And you know it's time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
To a light that’s in the distance
And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire, time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape
Oh, on borderland we run
I'll be there, I'll be there
A high road
A high road out from here
The city walls are all pulled down
The dust a smokescreen all around
See faces ploughed like fields
That once gave no resistance
And we live by the side of the road
On the side of a hill as the valley explodes
Dislocated, suffocated
The land grows weary of its own
Oh, on borderland we run and still we run
We run and don't look back
I'll be there, I'll be there
Tonight, tonight
I'll be there tonight
I'll believe
I’ll be there so hold on
I’ll be there tonight
Tonight
The wind will crack in wintertime
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words, just a scream
Tonight we’ll build a bridge across the sea and land
See the sky, the burning rain
She will die and live again
Tonight
And your heart beats so slow
Through the rain and fallen snow
Across the fields of mourning
To a light that’s in the distance
Oh, don't sorrow,
No don't weep for tonight, at last
I am coming home
I am coming home
Pride (In the Name of Love) (U2) - 3:49
One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed up on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
Early morning, April four
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
Wire (U2) - 4:19
Innocent and in a sense I am
Guilty of the crime that's now in hand
Such a nice day to throw your life away
Such a nice day to let it go
Cold in his eyes, I can't believe it
Cold in his heart and soul
Heart and soul
Cold man, such a cold heart
Such a cold man to watch you tear your self apart
So lay me down, my soul to keep
So lay me down, the longest sleep
Oh, the longest sleep
In I come and out you go you gets
Here we are again now, place your bets
Is this the time, the time to win or lose
Is this the time, the time to choose
Cold in his eyes, I can't believe it
So deep inside a cold fire
Cold, this heart and soul
Any time you are near, kiss it away
Wash it down now
That's right, just keep me up
In some white track you come right back
Cartoon cutout, cut throat let out
I'm on your side, be on the both side
I'm on the right track, you get off my back
I'm no dope, I give you hope
Here's the rope, here's the rope
Now swing on it
The Unforgettable Fire (U2) - 4:55
Ice, your only rivers run cold
These city lights, they shine as silver and gold
Took from the night, your eyes as black as coal
Walk on by, walk on through
Walk till you run and don't look back for here I am
Carnival, the wheels fly and the colours spin
Through alcohol, red wine that punctures the skin
Face to face in a dry and waterless place
Walk on by, walk on through
So sad to beseach your love so head on
Stay in this night, stay tonight in a lie
I'm only asking but I think you know
Come on and take me away
Come on and take me away
Come on, take me home
Home again
Ever, ever, ever high
And here she comes
Yet she's so far
And if the mountains should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear, no not I
Stay in this time
Stay tonight in a lie
Ever after this loving time
And if you save your love
Save your love, save it all
Don't push me too far
Don't push me too far tonight
Tonight, tonight
Promenade (U2) - 2:34
Earth, sky, scenery
Here she comes back again
Men of straw, snooker hall
Words that build or destroy
Dirt, dry bones, sand and stone
Barbed wire fence cut me down
I'd like to be around
In a spiral staircase to the higher ground
And I, like a firework, explode
Roman candle lightening lights up the sky
In cracked streets trampled underfoot
Side step, sidewalk
I see you stare into the space
Have I got closer now behind the face
Oh, tell me, cherry you dance with me
Turn me around tonight
Up through the spiral staircase
To the higher ground
Slideshow of a seaside town
Coca-cola, football
Radio, radio, radio, radio, radio, radio

Bad (Bono, Clayton, Edge, Mullen) - 6:08
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
I'm not sleeping
Oh, 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 skies and burning flack
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would let it go
This desparation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
Let it go
And so to fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
Oh, no
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no no
Indian Summer Sky (U2) - 4:19
In the ocean cuts ring deep, the sky
Like there, I don't know why
In the forest there's a clearing
I run there towards the light
Sky, it's a blue sky
In the earth a hole dig deep, decide
If I could I would
Up for air to swim against the tide
Up towards the sky
It's a blue sky
To lose along the way the spark that set the flame
To flicker and to fade on this, the longest day
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
You give yourself to this the longest day
You give yourself, you give it all away
Two rivers run too deep, the seasons change and so do I
The light that strikes the tallest trees
The light away for I
The light away, up toward the sky
It's a blue sky
To lose along the way the spark that set the flame
To flicker and to fade on this, the longest day
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
You give yourself to this the longest day
You give yourself, you give it all away
Elvis Presley and America (U2) - 6:22
Black flash
Black flash over my own love, tell me of my eyes
Black flash come though my own life, telling these things
And I believe them and I believe in you
White flash sees the sky and it turns its side from you
She won't turn my back and I know you turn so blue
And you know and your sky is feeling blue
And your heart, so cold when I'm with you
And you feel like no one told you to
And your time is your side and your time with me
Ah, don't talk to me
Ah, don't talk to me
Don't talk to me
You know like no one told you how
But you know though the king that howls has howled
But you feel like sentimental but you don't care
If I just share it in your heart
Heart
Hopelessly, so hopelessly
I'm breaking through for you and me
And you don't though no one told you to
And you found out where you were going
Where to
You're through with me
But I know that you will be back for more
You know and though no one told you so
And you know, blue sky like a harder shade of blue
And you walk when you want to let go
Me, I'm the outside, tell me fade away
Drop me down but don't break me in your sleep
In your sleep, inside it's in your heart and mine
Whole sea is dark, it's in your heart and mine
Sweetly, those will come
Loving is on your side walking through
So let me in your heart
Your beat is like something
They run
See say you're sad and reach by
So say you're sad above beside
Oh stay you're sad over midnight
So stay sad above we said
You know I don't, no one told you how
And you don't and you wipe sweat off your white brow
And you care and no one told you tried
And your heart is left out from the side
And the rain beats down and the shame goes down
And this rain keeps on coming down
And this sky tonight
You know "S" "O" "N" "G", why
You're going go join to God
You know "S" "O" "N" "G", why
Give away some him no lie
Give away some my de day no
You know and though no one told you sky
And you feel like you pretend you can
You say go, you live, go live outside of me
Don't you leave, don't leave out part of me
Then can feel like I feel before
Like I hurt now and I see the floor
If you pick me up, bits and pieces on this floor
MLK (U2) - 2:32
Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realised
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, rain down on he
So let it be
So let it be
Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realised
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, let it rain
Rain down on he
