"You never betray yourself... in big dramatic bold moves…. You slowly move away from that person that is most like you" BONO IN CONVERSATION WITH MICHKA ASSAYAS (2005)
You hurt yourself, you hurt your lover
Then you discover
What you thought was freedom is just greed. GONE
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me. CITY OF BLINDING LIGHTS
They say that what you mock
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you. PEACE ON EARTH
If you just close your eyes you can feel the enemy. ACROBAT
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control. THE TROUBLES
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart. UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD
My father... said "I have many mansions
And there are many rooms to see."
But I left by the back door
And I threw away the key. THE FIRST TIME
Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt. WHO'S GONNA RIDE YOUR WILD HORSES
Ah, the deeper I spin... Ah, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin. WHO'S GONNA RIDE YOUR WILD HORSES
You got to put the women and children first
But you've got an unquenchable thirst for New York. NEW YORK
It's the little things that tease and betray
Has the hunter now become the prey?
But it's the little things
The little things that give you away. THE LITTLE THINGS THAT GIVE YOU AWAY
I've been trying to feel complete again
But you're gone and so is God. A MAN AND A WOMAN
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow. PRIDE (IN THE NAME OF LOVE)
One man betrayed with a kiss. PRIDE (IN THE NAME OF LOVE)
