Lyrics

Beautiful Day
U2
(from »All That You Can't Leave Behind«)


The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town


You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere


You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace


It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away


You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination


You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you


It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day


Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case


See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out


It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day


Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case


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
Was a beautiful day

Heaven and Hell
U2

Once you get a chance
You come to baby
Right back, you call me down
Used to think you wanted nothing to do
Was to say nothing at all


You went like the one time
A two time
You're back, and me
Drop off the back seat
Of a bad car
Where finders
Came alone


Bono: »F«

Wishing her out of my life
Wishing her...


What am I to do
Came a talk to street
And a time that you listen
Don't you beg the time on me


They said you oughta call her back
I wanna, but afraid to say
I won't hang up on you baby, child
Nothing feels like this before


Here in in my life
Yeah in heaven and hell
Baby you're heaven and hell
Heaven and hell


Bono: »F«


Oh, heaven and hell


All the time...


Want a chance to hold you
Want a chance to kill
I want a chance to keep you awake at night
When the sunlight burns through your love


But you can't always get
Everything you want
You take cards from all under the table
You're heaven, heaven and hell


Baby you're heaven...heaven and hell
Yeah, you're heaven...heaven and hell


Cover me...


Bono: »E!«


Bono: »Okay organ. Just organ.«


Darkness...
You light up my darkness
You light up my darkness
And open up...


Bono: »F«

Bono: »Organ.«

Bono: »This time when we come in, come in a little bit quietly. Not the drums, but everyone else.«

Heaven...

Die Internationale


Wacht auf, Verdammte dieser Erde,
die stets man noch zum Hungern zwingt!
Das Recht wie Glut im Kraterherde
nun mit Macht zum Durchbruch dringt.
Reinen Tisch macht mit dem Bedränger!
Heer der Sklaven, wache auf!
Ein nichts zu sein, tragt es nicht länger
Alles zu werden, strömt zuhauf!

Völker, hört die Signale!
Auf, zum letzten Gefecht!
Die Internationale
Erkämpft das Menschenrecht
Es rettet uns kein höh'res Wesen
kein Gott, kein Kaiser, noch Tribun
Uns aus dem Elend zu erlösen
können wir nur selber tun!
Leeres Wort: des armen Rechte!
Leeres Wort: des Reichen Pflicht!
Unmündigt nennt man uns Knechte,
duldet die Schmach länger nicht!

Völker, hört...

In Stadt und Land, ihr Arbeitsleute,
wir sind die stärkste Partei'n
Die Müssiggänger schiebt beiseite!
Diese Welt muss unser sein;
Unser Blut sei nicht mehr der Raben
und der mächtigen Geier Frass!
Erst wenn wir sie vertrieben haben
dann scheint die Sonn' ohn' Unterlass!

Völker, hört...
