Great live records
(a great recording of a great
performance of great material
which does more than simply
reiterate the studio versions)
are rare indeed-you could
probably count them on both
hands. Add this one to your list.
It captures the musical and
emotional excitement of the last
tour, brilliantly showcasing
Bono's ability to captivate an
audience; as a live vocalist and
performer he certainly ranks
among the best. 'Under A Blood
Red Sky' features versions of six
previously released tracks
("Sunday Bloody Sunday"
and "Gloria" stand out)
plus two never
before released in America:
"11 O'Clock Tick Tock"
and "Party Girl." An
outstanding collection. © 1978-1999

GLORIA I try to
sing this song.
I try to stand up.
But I can't find my feet.
I try, I try to speak up.
But only in you I'm complete.
Gloria, in Te Domine
Gloria, exultate
Oh lord, loosen my lips?
I try to sing this song.
I try to get in,
But I can't find the door.
The door is open.
You're standing there,
Let me in.
Gloria, Gloria
Oh Lord, if I have
anything, anything at all,
I'll give it to you.
Gloria, Gloria

I WILL
FOLLOW I was on the
outside, when you said
You said you needed me.
I was looking at myself, I was
blind
I could not see.
A boy tries hard to be a man,
His mother takes him by his hand,
If he stops to think he starts to
cry.
Oh why?
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway - I will
follow.
I was on the inside
when they pulled the four walls
down.
I was looking through the window.
I was lost, I am found.
Walkaway, Walkaway.
I walkaway, walkaway - I will
follow.
If you walkaway, walkaway,
I walkaway, walkaway - I will
follow.
(Your eyes make a circle,
I see you when I go in there)
Your eyes, your eyes.
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway - I will
follow
I will follow
I will follow...

SUNDAY
BLOODY SUNDAY I can't
believe the news today,
I can't close my eyes and make it
go away.
How long, how long must we sing
this song?
How long? Tonight we can be as
one.
Broken bottles under children's
feet,
Bodies strewn across a dead end
street,
But I won't heed the battle call,
It puts my back up, puts my back
up against the wall.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
And the battle's just
begun,
There's many lost, but tell me
who has won?
The trenches dug within
our hearts,
And mothers, children, brothers,
sisters torn apart.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
How long, how long must we sing
this song?
How long, Tonight we can be as
one.
Tonight, tonight.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Wipe the tears from your eyes,
Wipe your tears away,
Wipe your blood shot eyes.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
And it's true we are
immune.
When fact is fiction and T.V. is
reality,
And today the millions cry,
We eat and drink while tomorrow
they die.
The real battle just
begun.
To claim the victory Jesus won,
On a Sunday bloody Sunday,
Sunday bloody Sunday.

THE
ELECTRIC CO. Boy, stupid boy,
Don't sit at the table
Till you able to.
Toy, broken toy.
Shout, shout, you're inside out.
If you don't know, the electric
co.
Red, running red
Play for real,
Talk and feel.
Hold in your hand.
You don't shout,
You still feel guilty.
If you don't know,
The electric co.
One, two, three, four
Why must I hide from myself?
When I need the crowd.
Bring on the crowd.
I love the crowd.
If you don't know,
the electric co...

NEW YEAR
DAY All is
quiet on New Year Day,
A world in white gets underway,
And I want to be with you,
Be with you night and day.
Nothing changes on New Year's
Day.
I will be with you again.
I will be with you again.
Under a blood-red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and
white.
Arms entwined, the chosen few,
Newspapers say, it says it's
true.
And we can break through,
though torn in two we can
be one.
I will begin again, I
will begin again.
Oh and maybe the time is right,
Oh maybe tonight.
I will be with you again.
I will be with you again.

"40"
(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?
