[Bono: This is a song Charles Manson stole from the Beatles. We're stealing it back.]
When you get to the bottom You go back to the top of the slide And you stop and you turn And you go for a ride Then you get to the bottom Then you see me again Do you, don't you want me to love you Coming down fast I'm right here above you Tell me tell me tell me the answer Ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer Helter skelter Helter skelter Helter skelter Do you, don't you want me to make you I'm coming down fast now don't let me break you Tell me tell me tell me the answer You ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer Helter skelter Helter skelter Helter skelter When you get to the bottom You go back to the top of the slide And you turn and you stop And you go for a ride Then you get to the bottom Then you see me again Do you, don't you want me to love you Coming down fast I'm right here above you Tell me tell me tell me the answer Ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer Helter skelter Helter skelter Helter skelter...(and again) Helter skelter Helter skelter Helter skelter |

Hold me now, oh hold me now
'Til this hour has gone around And I'm gone on the rising tide For to face Van Diemen's land It's a bitter pill I swallow here To be rent from one so dear We fought for justice and not for gain But the magistrate sent me away Now kings will rule and the poor will toil And tear their hands as they tear the soil But a day will come in this dawning age When an honest man sees an honest wage Hold me now, oh hold me now 'Til this hour has gone around And I'm gone on the rising tide For to face Van Diemen's land |

Yeah
Lover, I'm on the street Gonna go where the bright lights And the big city meet With a red guitar on fire Desire She's a candle burning in my room Yeah I'm like the needle, needle and spoon Over the counter with a shotgun Pretty soon everybody got one And the fever when I'm beside her Desire And the fever getting higher Desire, desire Burning, burning She's the dollars She's my protection Yeah she's a promise In the year of election Oh sister, I can't let you go Like a preacher stealing hearts In a traveling show For love or money, money, money Money, money, money, money, money Money, money, money And the fever, getting higher Desire, desire, desire, desire Desire, desire |

Like a desert needs rain
Like a town needs a name I need your love Like a drifter needs a room Hawkmoon I need your love I need your love Like a rhythm unbroken Like drums in the night Like sweet soul music Like sunlight I need your love Like coming home And you don't know where you've been Like black coffee Like nicotine I need your love When the night has no end And the day yet to begin As the room spins around I need your love Like a Phoenix rising Needs a holy tree Like the sweet revenge Of a bitter enemy I need your love Like the heat needs the sun Like honey on her tongue Like the muzzle of a gun Like oxygen I need your love When the night has no end And the day yet to begin As the room spins around I need your love Like thunder needs rain Like the preacher needs pain Like tongues of flame Like a blind man's cane I need your love Like a needle in a vein Like someone to blame Like a thought unchained Like a runaway train I need your love Like faith needs a doubt Like a freeway out I need your love Like powder needs a spark Like lies need the dark I need your love |

There must be some way out of here
Said the joker to the thief There's too much confusion here I can't get no relief Businessmen they drink my wine Plowmen dig my earth None of them know along the line What any of this is worth No reason to get excited The thief, he kindly spoke There are many here among us Who think that life is but a joke But you and I, we've been through that And that is not our fate So let us not talk falsely now Because the hour is getting late All along the watchtower Princes kept the view While horsemen came and went Barefoot servants too All I got is a red guitar Three chords And the truth All I got is a red guitar The rest is up to you There's no reason to get excited The thief, he kindly spoke There are some among us here Say that life is just a joke You and I, we've been through that And that is not our fate (at least today) So let us not talk falsely now Because the hour is getting late Late... (yeeeaaaaaahhhhhh...) [until end] |

I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields Only to be with you Only to be with you I have run I have crawled I have scaled these city walls These city walls Only to be with you But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for I have kissed honey lips Felt the healing in her fingertips It burned like fire This burning desire I have spoke with the tongue of angels I have held the hand of a devil It was warm in the night I was cold as a stone But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for I believe in the kingdom come Then all the colors will bleed into one Bleed into one Well yes I'm still running You broke the bonds and you Loosed the chains Carried the cross Of my shame Of my shame You know I believed it But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for... |

In the shithouse a shotgun
Praying hands hold me down. If only the hunter was hunted In this tin can town, tin can town. No stars in the black night Looks like the sky fall down. No sun in the daylight Looks like it's chained to the ground, chained to the ground. The warden says "The exodus sold." If you want a way out... Silver and gold, silver and gold. Broken back to the ceiling Broken nose to the floor. I scream at the silence It's crawling, crawls under the door. There's a rope around my neck And there's a trigger in your gun. Jesus, say something! I am someone, I am someone. Captains and Kings in the ship's hold They came to collect Silver and gold, silver and gold. I seen the coming and the going Seen the captains and the Kings. Seen their navy blue uniforms Seen them bright and shiny things, bright and shiny things. The temperature is rising The fever white hot Mister I ain't got nothing But it's more than you've got These chains no longer bind me Nor the shackles at my feet Outside are the prisoners Inside the free (set them free). A prize fighter in a corner is told Hit where it hurts - For Silver and Gold You can stop the world from turning around You just gotta pay a penny in the pound. |

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go One man come here 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 resists One man washed 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! ...nobody like you...there's nobody like you... Mmm...mmm...mmm... Early morning, April 4 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... |

It was a cold and wet December day
When we touched the ground at JFK Snow was melting on the ground On BLS I heard the sound of an angel New York, like a Christmas tree Tonight this city belongs to me, angel Soul love, this love won't let me go So long Angel of Harlem Birdland on fifty-three The street sounds like a symphony We got John Coltrane and a love supreme, Miles, and she's got to be an angel Lady Day got diamond eyes She sees the truth behind the lies, angel Soul love, this love won't let me go So long Angel of Harlem Angel of Harlem She says it's heart, heart and soul Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Blue light on the avenue God knows they got to you An empty glass, the lady sings Eyes swollen like a bee sting Blinded, you lost your way Through the side streets and the alleyway Like a star exploding in the night Falling to the city in broad daylight An angel in Devil's shoes Salvation in the blues You never looked like an angel Yeah yeah, Angel of Harlem Angel, Angel of Harlem |

Love rescue me
Come forth and speak to me Raise me up and don't let me fall No man is my enemy My own hands imprison me Love rescue me Many strangers have I met On the road to my regret Many lost who seek to find themselves in me They ask me to reveal The very thoughts they would conceal Love rescue me And the sun in the sky makes a shadow of you and I Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea I'm here without a name in the place of my shame Love rescue me In the cold mirror of a glass I see my reflection pass I see the dark shades of what I used to be I see the purple of her eyes The scarlet of my lies Love rescue me And the sun in the sky makes a shadow of you and I Stretching out as the sun sinks in the sea I'm hanging by my thumbs I'm ready for whatever comes Love rescue me Yea though I walk through the valley of shadow Yet I will fear no evil I have cursed thy rod and staff They no longer comfort me Love rescue me Sha la la sha la la Sha la la sha la la I've conquered my past The future is here at last I stand at the entrance To a new world I can see The ruins to the right of me Will soon have lost sight of me Love rescue me v(-_-;)v |

I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
I was under the waves before love rescued me I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread Now I stand accused of the things I've said Love comes to town, I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town, I'm gonna catch that flame Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did before love came to town I used to make love under a red sunset I was making promises I was soon to forget She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown But I left her standing before love came to town I ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream The notes were turning blue, I was dazed and in a dream As the music played, I saw my life turn around That was the day before love came to town When love comes to town, I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town, I'm gonna catch that flame Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did before love came to town I was there when they crucified my Lord I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword I threw the dice when they pierced his side But I've seen love conquer the great divide When love comes to town, I'm gonna catch that train When love comes to town, I'm gonna catch that flame Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down But I did what I did before love came to town |

See the sunrise over her skin
Don't change it See the sunrise over her skin Don't change everything And the delta sun burns bright and violent Mississippi and the cotton wool heat Sixty-six highway speaks Of dessert dry, of cool green valleys Gold and silver vein shining cities *In this heartland In this heartland In this heartland Heaven knows this is heartland See the sunrise over her skin She feels like waters in my hand Freeway like a river cuts through this land Into the side of love like a burning spear And the poison rain brings a flood of fear Through the ghostranch hills, Death valley waters In the towers of steel bilief goes on and on *Repeat |

Don't believe the devil
Don't believe his book But the truth is not the same without the lies he made up Don't believe excess success is to give Don't believe in riches but you should see where I live I... I believe in love Don't believe in force entry Don't believe in rape But every time she passed by wild thought escape Don't believe in deathrow, skidrow or the gangs Don't believe in the Uzi it just went off in my hand I... I believe in love Don't believe in cocaine I got a speedball in my head I could cut and crack you open... Did you hear what I said? Don't believe them when they tell me there ain't no cure The rich stay healthy the sick stay poor I... I believe in love Don't believe in Goldman his type like a curse Instant Kama's gonna get him if I don't get him first Don't believe that Rock'N Roll can really change the world As it spins in revolution spirals and turns I... I believe in love Don't believe in the 60's in the golden age of pop You glolify the past when the future dries up I heard singer on the radio late last night Says he's gonna kick the darkness till it bleeds daylight I... I believe in love I like I'm falling, like I'm spinning on a wheel It always stops beside a name a presence I can feel I.... I believe in love |

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails Into the souls on the tree of pain From the firefly, a red orange glow See the face of fear Running scared in the valley below Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue Bullet the blue In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum Jacob wrestled the angel And the angel was overcome You plant a demon seed You raise a flower of fire See them burning crosses See the flames higher and higher Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue Bullet the blue This guy comes up to me His face red like a rose on a thorn bush Like all the colors of a royal flush And he's peeling off those dollar bills Slapping them down One hundred, two hundred And I can see those fighter planes And I can see those fighter planes Across the mud huts where the children sleep Through the alleys of a quiet city street You take the staircase to the first floor Turn the key and slowly unlock the door As a man breathes into a saxophone And through the walls you hear the city groan Outside is America Outside is America Across the field you see the sky ripped open See the rain through a gaping wound Pounding on the women and children Who run Into the arms Of America |

You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want your story to remain untold But all the promises we make from the cradle to the grave When all I want is you You say you'll give me a highway with no one on it Treasure just to look upon it All the riches in the night You say you'll give me eyes in a moon of blindness A river in a time of dryness A harbour in the tempest But all the promises we make from the cradle to the grave When all I want is you You say you want your love to work out right To last with me through the night You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold Your story to remain untold your love not to grow cold All the promises we break from the cradle to the grave When all I want is you You All I want is you All I want is you All I want is you |
