Slog mig… nu mitt i natten.. när jag fastnade i tankar med min trognaste följeslagare genom livet (Zorro)  liggandes sidanom mig i soffan med sitt huvud på en “äckligt” dyr kudde ,  att det snart är dasg för U2.

Natten tillära… och för att värma upp för ett till avsnitt (ja bara ett till innan jag lägger mig) av Dexter… en av alla tänkvärda texter av rockgudarna i U2. Mellan raderna kan man hitta mycket...

“Please” (single version)

So you never knew love
Until you’d crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted
Till you had someone slap your face
And you never felt alive
Until you’d almost wasted away

You had to win, you couldn’t just pass
The smartest ass at the top of the class
Your flying colours, your family tree
And all your lessons in history

Please, please, please
Get up off your knees now
Please, please, please
Leave it out

So you never knew how low you’d stoop
To make that call
And you never knew what was on the ground
Until they made you crawl
So you never knew that the heaven you keep
You stole

Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes
Your stick-on tattoos, now they’re making the news
Your holy war, your northern star
Your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car

Please, please, please
Get up off your knees now
Please, please, please
Leave it out

‘Cause love is big and love is tough
But love is not what you’re thinking of
September, streets capsizing
Spilling over and down the drain
Shards of glass, splinters like rain
But you could only feel your own pain
October, talk getting nowhere
November, December
Remember, are we just starting again

Please, please, please
Get up off your knees now
Please
‘Cause love is big, it’s bigger than us
But love is not what you’re thinking of
It’s what lovers deal, it’s what lovers steal
You know I found it hard to recieve
‘Cause you, my love, I could never believe

“Dirty Day” (Bitter Kiss mix)

I don’t know you
And you don’t know the half of it
I had a staring role
I was the bad guy who walked out
They say be careful where you aim
‘Cause where you aim you just might hit
You can hold onto something so tight
You’ve already lost it

Dragging me down
That’s not the way it used to be
You can’t even remember
What I’m trying to forget
It was a dirty day
A dirty day

Looking for explainations
I don’t even understand
If you need someone to blame
Throw a rock in the air
You’ll hit someone guilty

From father to son
In one life has begun
A work that’s never done
Father to son

And love, it won’t last kissin’ time
And love, it won’t last kissin’ time

Get it right
There’s no blood thicker than ink
Hear what I say
Nothing’s as simple as you think
Wake up
This is something you can’t get around
I’m in you
Moreso when they put me in the ground

Those days, days, days run away
Like horses over the hill
Those days, days, days run away
Like horses over the hill
Those days, days, days run away
Like horses over the hill
Those days, days, days run away
Like horses over the hill
