Summer wine...

[Andrea]Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring....
My summer wine is really made from all these things

[Bono]
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
And sang a song that I had sang just for a few
She saw my silver spurs and said let's pass some time
And I will give to you...summer wine

[Andrea and Bono]
Ohhhh...summer wine

[Andrea]
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring....
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you.....summer wine

[Andrea and Bono]
Ohhhh....summer wine

[Bono]
My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to stand up but I could not find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me...more summer wine


[Andrea and Bono]
Ohhhh....summer wine

[Andrea]
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring....
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you.....summer wine

[Andrea and Bono]
Ohhhh....summer wine

When we woke up, the sun was shining in our eyes
The silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
And left us craving for.....more summer wine
Ohhh..summer wine...

Ohhh... Ohhh... Ohhh...

Ohhh... Ohhh... Ohhh... Ohhh...

Magnificent

Magnificent

Oh, oh, magnificent

I was born, I was born
To be with you in this space and time
After that and ever after
I haven't had a clue only to break rhyme
This foolishness can leave a heart black and blue, oh, oh

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar

I was born, I was born to sing for you
I didn't have a choice but to lift you up
And sing whatever song you wanted me to
I give you back my voice from the womb
My first cry, it was a joyful noise, oh, oh

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar
Justified, till we die you and I will magnify, oh, oh
Magnificent, magnificent, oh, oh

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love unites our hearts
Justified, till we die you and I will magnify, oh, oh
Magnificent, magnificent, magnificent

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Yes...

I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes
And make it go away
How long...
How long must we sing this song
How long, how long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...

Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the 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
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is 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, how long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...tonight...

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On...

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday...

Bono zöld hályog miatt hord napszemüveget

Bono elárulta: azért hordja szinte mindig híres napszemüvegét, mert zöld hályogtól szenved már húsz éve.

Az 54 éves ír rocksztár szeme a betegség miatt igen érzékenyen reagál a fényre. A zöld hályog úgy alakul ki, hogy a szem belső nyomása emelkedik, ez károsítja a látóideget.
"Jó kezelést kapok, minden rendben lesz" - mondta Bono, polgári nevén Paul Hewson a BBC1 péntek esti adásába kerülő Graham Norton show felvételén.

A folyamatos napszemüveg-viselést sokan afféle rocksztáros modorosságnak vélték. "Most megkapták az igazságot, ezután ezt fogják mondani: szegény, öreg, vak Bono" - viccelt az ír zenész, aki jelenleg a U2 Songs of Innoncence című új albumát népszerűsíti.

October, but you go on...

October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care...

October
And kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on...

Nothing changes On New Year's Day

Yeah...
All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
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
The newspapers says, says
Say it's true it's true...
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one

I...I will begin again
I...I will begin again

Oh...
Maybe the time is right
Oh...maybe tonight...

I will be with you again
I will be with you again

And so we're told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes
On New Year's Day  

October - U2

October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care

October
And kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on
