U2 - Alex Descends Into Hell For A Bottle Of Milk/korova 1 - lyrics

Dies irae, dies illa
Dies irae, dies illa
Tuba mirum spargens sonum
Decet in inferno
Dies illa, dies illa
Translation:
A day of wrath, that day
A day of wrath, that day
The amazing sound scattering from the trumpet
As is fitting for hell
That day, that day

U2 - A Day Without Me - lyrics

Im starting a landslide in my ego.
Look from the outside to the world I left behind.
Im dreaming, youre awake.
If I were sleeping,
Once Id say
A day without me.
What are the feelings Ive been feeling?
What are the feelings to let me out?
Todays a day without me.
I started a landslide in my ego.
Look from the outside to the world I left behind,
To the world I left behind.
Wipe the eyes from the laughter,
To the world I left behind.
Share the tears and the laughter.

U2 - '40' - lyrics

(taken from psalm 40)
I waited patiently for the lord
He inclined and heard my cry.
He brought me right out of the pit,
Out of my reglade.
I will sing a new song,
How long to sing this song?
He set my feet upon a rock,
And made my footsteps heard.
Many will see,
Many will see and fear.
I will sing, sing a new song.
How long to sing this song?

U2 - A Sort Of Homecoming - lyrics

And you know its time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
Light in the distance
And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire, time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape
Oh, oh, oh...
On borderland we run...
Ill be there
Ill be there...
Tonight
A high road
A high road out from here
The city walls are all come down
The dust, a smoke screen 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 explode
Dislocated, suffocated
The land grows weary of its own
Oh, oh, oh...on borderland we run...
And still we run
We run and dont look back
Ill be there
Ill be there
Tonight
Tonight
Ill be there tonight...i believe
Ill be there...somehow
Ill be there...tonight
Tonight
The wind will crack in winter time
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words, just a scream...
Tonight well 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
Lights in the distance
Oh dont sorrow, no dont weep
For tonight, at last
I am coming home
I am coming home

U2 - A Different Kind Of Blue - lyrics

Those cars
All new
So small
Down there
From here
So high
We drift
We fly
The twlight breaking through
A different kind of blue
More lights
Blue signs
More gold
More new
So small
So high
Down there
Tonight
With the twilight breaking through
Its a different kind of blue
The twilight breaking through
Its a different kind of blue

U2 - Acrobat - lyrics

Dont believe what you hear
Dont believe what you see
If you just close your eyes
You can feel the enemy
When I first met you girl
You had fire in your soul
What happened your face
Of melting in snow?
Now it looks like this!
And you can swallow
Or you can spit
You can throw it up
Or choke on it
And you can dream
So dream out loud
You know that your time is coming round
...dont let the bastards grind you down
No nothing makes sense
Nothing seems to fit
I know youd hit out
If you only knew who to hit
And Id join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah Id break bread and wine
If there was a church I could receive in
cos I need it now
To take a cup
To fill it up
To drink it slow
I cant let you go
And I must be
An acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
...dont let the bastards grind you down
What are we doing to do now its all been said?
No new ideas in the house, and every book has been read
And I must be
An acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
And you can find
Your own way out
You can build
And I can will
And you can call
I cant wait until
You can stash
And you can seize
In dreams begin
Responsibilities
And I can love
And I can love
I know that the tide is turning round
...dont let the bastards grind you down

U2 - A Celebration - lyrics

Shake! shake!
Dont go
I believe in a celebration
I believe you set me free
I believe you can loose this chains
I believe you can dance with me
Dance with me
Shake! shake!
Shake! shake!
I believe in the third world war
I believe in the atomic bomb
I believe in the powers that be
But they wont overpower me
And, and you can go there too
And, and you can go go go go
Shake! shake!
Shake! shake!
And we dont have the time
And everything goes round and round
And we dont have the time
To watch the world go tumbling down
Go! go!
I believe in the bells of christs church
Ringing for this land
I believe in the cells of mount joy
Doesnt understand
And, and you can go there too
And, and you can go go go go
I believe in the walls of jericho (and
You...)
I believe theyre coming down (can
Go there too)
I belive in this citys children (and you...
I believe the trumpets sound (can
Go go go go)
And you can go there too
And you can go go go go...
I believe in what Im doing
What am I doing here...

U2 - A Room At The Heartbreak Hotel - lyrics

From where I stand
I can see thrugh you
From where youre sitting, pretty one
I know it got to you
I see the stars in your eyes
You want the truth, but you need the lies
Like judy garland, like valentino
You give your life for rock n roll
Uh huh
Stand, were on a landslide of love
You got everything you want
But what you need you give away
For primitive love
And a ride on the mistery train
A primitive love
A room at the heart...
The heartbreak hotel
A room at the heartbreak
Heartbreak hotel
A room at the heartbreak
Heartbreak hotel
You say its love, its not the money
You let them suck your life out like honey
Turning tricks, youre on the street
Selling your kisses so bittersweet
[gospel voices]
A primitive love
A and a ride on the mistery train
A primitive love
A room at the heart
The heartbreak hotel
A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak,
The heartbreak hotel, hotel
[repeat until end]

U2 - All Along The Watchtower - lyrics

There must be some way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
Theres too much confusion here
I cant 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, weve 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
Theres 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, weve 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]

U2 - A Man And A Woman - lyrics

Little sister don't you worry about a thing today
Take the heat from the sun
Little sister
I know that everything is not ok
But you're like honey on my tongue
True love never can be rent
But only true love can keep beauty innocent
I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
No I could never take a chance
'Cause I could never understand
The mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
You can run from love
And if it's really love it will find you
Catch you by the heel
But you can't be numb for love
The only pain is to feel nothing at all
How can I hurt when I'm holding you?
I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
And you're the one, there's no-one else
You make me want to lose myself
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
Brown eyed girl across the street
On rue Saint Divine
I thought this is the one for me
But she was already mine
You were already mine...
Little sister
I've been sleeping in the street again
Like a stray dog
Little sister
I've been trying to feel complete again
But you're gone and so is God
The soul needs beauty for a soul mate
When the soul wants...the soul waits ...
No I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
For love and faith and sex and fear
And all the things that keep us here
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
How can I hurt when I'm holding you?
