SLUG
Don't want to lose my shirt
Don't want to dig the dirt
Don't want you to get hurt
Can't help but I'm a flirt
Don't want to take your drugs
Don't want to be a slug
Don't want to overdress
Don't want to make a mess
Don't want you to confess
Not under duress
Don't want be untrue
I want to be with you
Don't want to lose my nerve
Don't want to throw the curve
Don't want to make you swerve
Don't want what I deserve
Don't want to change the frame
Don't want to be a pain
Don't wanna stay the same
==================
YOUR BLUE ROOM
It's time to go again
To your blue room
Got some questions to ask of you
In your blue room
The air is clean
Your skin is clear
I've had enough of hangin' round here
It's a different kind of conversation

Your blue room
Saw me calling love, somewhere deep inside
Saw me calling you, somewhere I can hide
And time is a string of pearls
Your blue room
See the future just hanging there
Your blue room
A new frame
A new perspective
Looking down on my objectives
New instructions
Whatever their directions
Your blue room
Saw me calling love
Peace and power true
Saw me calling
Can you feel it...
It's alright
Your blue room
One day I'll be back
Your blue room
Yeah, I hope I remember where it's at
Your blue room
See me slidin' down
Won't you bring me up again
So much for me, child
Adam:
Zooming in
Zooming out
Nothing I can do about
A lens to see it all up close
Magnifying what everybody knows
Never in conflict
Never alone
No car alarm
No cellular phone
====================
A DIFFERENT KIND OF BLUE
Those cars
All new
So small
Down there
From here
So high
We drift
We fly
With the twilight breaking through
It’s a different kind of blue
More lights
Blue signs
All gold
All new
So small
So high
Down there
Tonight
With the twilight breaking through
It's a different kind of blue
With the twilight breaking through
It's a different kind of blue

MISS SARAJEVO
Music by: U2 and Brian Eno, featuring Luciano Pavarotti
[Bono:]
Is there a time for keeping your distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with the day
Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for cutting hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear
Here she comes, heads turn around
Here she comes, to take her crown

Is there a time to run for cover
A time for kiss and tell

Is there a time for different colors
Different names you find it hard to spell

Is there a time for first communion
A time for East 17
Is there a time to turn to Mecca
Is there a time to be a beauty queen
Here she comes, beauty plays the clown
Here she comes, surreal in her crown
[Pavarotti:]----------------------------[Translation:]
Dici che il fiume-----------------------You say that the river
Trova la via al mare-------------------Finds the way to the sea
E come il fiume------------------------And as the river
Giungerai a me------------------------You'll come to me
Oltre i confini-------------------------Beyond the borders
E le terre assetate---------------------And the thirsty lands
Dici che come fiume------------------You say that as the river
Come fiume--------------------------As the river
L'amore giungerà---------------------Love will come
L'amore------------------------------Love
E non so più pregare------------------And I cannot pray anymore
E nell'amore non so più sperare-------And I cannot hope for love anymore
E quell'amore non so più aspettare----And I cannot wait for love anymore

[Bono:]
Is there a time for tying ribbons
A time for Christmas trees
Is there a time for laying tables
And the night is set to freeze.

CORPSE (These Chains Are Way Too Long)

[Edge: probable lyrics]

Hey- see you soon
Sad through your room
I'm reachin' out
Hey- be my friend
Stay 'til the end
Don't go away
Hey - Hey - Hey - Hey
Hey - take your rope
Don't choke that way
Don't feel your every step
Hey - Hey
Chains move that thing
Chains we can see
Chains way too long
Chains (in this)
Chains way back there
Chains we could see
Chains are way too long

And I feel my song
Feel my song
==================
ELVIS ATE AMERICA
(original version of the lyrics can be found in
Propaganda magazine, issue number 22 spring/summer 1995)

[Howie B:]
Elvis [ad infinitum]

[Bono:]
white trash,
the memphis flash,
didn't smoke hash
and woulda been a sissy
without johnny cash
didn't dodge the draft
had his own aircraft
having a laugh
on the lisa marie
in a colour photograph
under the hood,
cadillac blood,
darling bud
flowered and returned
to the mississippi mud
ain't gonna rot
in a memphis plot
didn't hear the shot
but Dr. King died
just across the lot (from)
vanilla ice cream,
girls of 14,
memphis spleen
shooting TVs
reading corinthians 13
with god on his knees
on three TVs
here come the killer bees
head full o' honey
(chooka chooka boy)
the bumper stickers
the white knickers
the white nigger
ate at the burger (king)
and just kept getting bigger
sang to win
the battle hymm
the battle to be slim
elvis ate america
before america ate him
stamps,
necromance,
fans,
psychophants
the public enemy
don't mean shit to Chuck D
changed the centre of gravity,
made it slippy
hitler
nixon
christ
mishima
marcus
jackson
the pelvis
the psalmist
the genius
the generous
forgive us
pray for us
aaron
presley
elvis
ah ooh ho hooo...
