Jennifer's Favorite U2 Lyrics

U2's songs are both musically beautiful and lyrically astounding.  The lyrics can range from poetic, to serious, to philosophical, to absurd.  These are just a few of my very favorites.

Time is a train, makes the future the past Leaves you standing in the station Your face pressed up against the glass --"Zoo Station"

And it's true, we are immune When fact is fiction and TV is reality  -- "Sunday Bloody Sunday"

The wind will crack in wintertime This bomb-blast lightning waltz No spoken words, just a scream  -- "A Sort of Homecoming"

Vorsprung durch technik  -- "Zooropa"

He turns his money into light to look for her  -- "Lemon"

So the hands that build can also pull down Even the hands of love  -- "Exit"

And if the mountains should crumble Or disappear into the sea Not a tear, no not I  -- "The Unforgettable Fire"

I can't change the world But I can change the world in me  -- "Rejoice"

Mrs. Brown is off to town She carries shopping in her shopping bag!  -- "Cartoon World"

Nothing changes on New Year's Day  -- "New Year's Day

I can't tell the difference between ABC news, Hill Street Blues, and a preacher on the old time gospel hour, stealing money from the sick and the old. Well the God I believe in isn't short of cash, mister!  -- "Bullet the Blue Sky"

A man melts the sand so he can see the world outside  -- "Lemon"

I had a starring role...I was the bad guy who walked out  -- "Dirty Day"

Life should be fragrant Rooftop to the basement  -- "Kite"

I believe in the powers that be But they won't overpower me  -- "A Celebration"

What you don't have, you don't need it now What you don't know, you can feel it somehow What you don't have, you don't need it now Don't need it now...it's a beautiful day  -- "Beautiful Day"

Does love light up your Christmas tree?  -- "If God Will Send His Angels"

You've got to cry without weeping Talk without speaking Scream without raising your voice  -- "Running to Stand Still"

A-ha, Sha-la  -- "Daddy's Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car

And love...it won't last kissin' time  -- "Dirty Day"

And if your glass heart should crack And for a second you turn back Oh no, be strong  -- "Walk On"

I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall It's a long way down to nothing at all  -- "Stuck in a Moment That You Can't Get Out Of"

And you can dream, so dream out loud You know that your time is coming round So don't let the bastards grind you down  -- "Acrobat"

The days run away like horses over the hills  -- "Dirty Day"

Midnight is where the day begins  -- "Lemon"
