This song is special to me.



"One" by: U2

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame
You say one love, one life
When it's one need in the night
It's one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don't care for it

Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's too late tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one but we're not the same
We hurt each other, then we do it again

You say love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on to what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love, one blood, one life
You got to do what you should
One life with each other
Sisters, brothers
One life but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One
One

Lyrics for Song: Jerusalem
Lyrics for Album: Jerusalem
I woke up this mornin' and none of the news was good
And death machines were rumblin' 'cross the ground where Jesus stood
And the man on my TV told me that it had always been that way
And there was nothin' anyone could do or say

And I almost listened to him
Yeah, I almost lost my mind
Then I regained my senses again
And looked into my heart to find

That I believe that one fine day all the children of Abraham
Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem

Well maybe I'm only dreamin' and maybe I'm just a fool
But I don't remember learnin' how to hate in Sunday school
But somewhere along the way I strayed and I never looked back again
But I still find some comfort now and then

Then the storm comes rumblin' in
And I can't lay me down
And the drums are drummin' again
And I can't stand the sound

But I believe there'll come a day when the lion and the lamb
Will lie down in peace together in Jerusalem

And there'll be no barricades then
There'll be no wire or walls
And we can wash all this blood from our hands
And all this hatred from our souls

And I believe that on that day all the children of Abraham
Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem



Watching the news today made me think of this song. I guess we can hope.

"One" by: U2

OK, REM takes a stab at it:

[MJZiggy]

Very nice. Seems to be missing a bit of the angst from the original U2 recording, but then again so are most of the live versions done by U2.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I never got into U2 too much because all their songs were so darn earnest.

I remember driving into Joshua Tree National Park in CA, and some U2 songs from that "The Joshua Tree" came on the radio. I thought it was some sign from God. It was only later that I figured out that the local radio station must play tha album a lot to give out of town rubes like me a little jolt.

How have i missed this thread this long?

FURTHER SEEMS FOREVER LYRICS

"Pictures Of Shorelines"

If you insist on pictures of shorelines
then i insist on pages of your lines meant for me,
to be sent to me.

Remember watching the storms from the lifeguard stand.
Remember feeling the tingling in my fingertips
when I touched your lips.

And I recall how you sat on the same side of me,
it always seemed that you'd always be on my side.
You're my best side.

And it's early June, so the sand's still dry,
and you have got the boldest eyes,
and I can't help but think it's right,
that inside you it's me I'll find.
And I'm still waiting.

And it's early June, so the sand's still dry,
and the storm off shore is not far behind.
And I'm still waiting.

And sometimes you don't say a thing for a long while.
And the ships off shore hold stories that we'd make.
And sometimes we are held at bay by these miles.
But less of you is more than I can take.

And the moments that we've shared could last a lifetime.
And the faith I have in us will keep you near.
And several of these miles placed in between us
mean several of these words being sent by mail.
I hope this letter finds you well.

Reminds me thats its ok to move on.

Has anybody put the lyrics of "Hurt" by nine-inch-nails/ Johnny Cash

[Deputy Nutz]

I believe I posted "Hurt" a long time ago, in a time, when reality was fancy.

I like the Johnny Cash version better, but go figure.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Johnny Cash also covered "One".

[BigDmoney]

I believe I posted "Hurt" a long time ago, in a time, when reality was fancy.

I like the Johnny Cash version better, but go figure.

The Johnny Cash video for this song is by far the best I have ever seen. Almost makes a grown man cry....oh god here I go again....

[Deputy Nutz]

For godsakes man, keep it together.

Line by Line....

Me
2001

I dont think that I could say that I want to be here tomorrow
but i dont want to speculate on things the way I used to
one plus one is two and the reason for me saying bye to grey skies
maybe i'll see you around

words all ringing hollow
are the words you say all true
promises in vein
i have no reason to doubt
much too hard to swallow
all my focus shifts from you

You came from nothing saying nothing maybe i will be the one to
Take the pressure off so take a chance sometime and talk to me
but one plus one is two the reason for you taking things so seriously
maybe thing would be all right

words all ringing hollow
are the words you say all true
promises in vein
i have no reason to doubt
maybe i'll see you around

Dunno....just thought I would throw this one out there. Think of it in terms of a screamo song and it makes a little more sense.

Blotto--"I Wanna Be A Lifeguard"

Selling shoes
Another loser working in a shopping mall
9 to 5
A slave driver telling me "Get on the ball!"
A crowded store
I kneel before them
Misery beyond compare
Sweaty socks
A lady boxer
What's she got against fresh air?
I want an ocean and some sunscreen lotion
Take me to the beach with a thousand pretty girls in reach
I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (help,help,help,help)
I, I, I wanna guard your life
I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (lifeguard, lifeguard)
Hardly any clothes (lifeguard)
Sand between my toes (lifeguard)
White stuff on my nose
Selling shoes
Another loser working in a shopping mall
I'm getting fat
What does it matter?
Nobody cares at all
But next July, I'll say goodbye to every out-of-it, dull-witted fool
Convert their feet into meters, marking distance at the swimming pool
Summer blondes revealing tanlines
I'll make more moves than Allied Van Lines
I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (be a big man, now...get a great tan, now)
I, I, I wanna guard your life
I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (lifeguard, lifeguard)
Sitting on my chair (lifeguard)
In the salty air (lifeguard)
White stuff on my nose
I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (help,help,help,help)
I, I, I wanna guard your life
I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (lifeguard, lifeguard)
Lounging on the deck (lifeguard)
Whistle 'round my neck (lifeguard)
White stuff in my nose
I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (lifeguard, lifeguard)

Let the 80s flashback continue:

Lone Justice--"Ways To Be Wicked"

Honey tell me why you smile
When you see me hurt so bad
Tell me what I did to you babe
That could make you act like that
Yes I've been your fool before babe
And I probably will again
'Cuz you ain't afraid to let me have it
You ain't afraid to stick it in
Yeah you know so many ways to be wicked
But you don't know one little thing about love
Yeah I can take a little pain
I can hold it pretty well
I can watch your little eyes light up
While you're walkin' me through hell
Yes I've been your fool before, babe
And I probably will again
'Cuz you ain't afraid to let me have it
You ain't afraid to stick it in
Yeah you know so many ways to be wicked
But you don't know one little thing about love
Yeah those cobra eyes
Light with a smile
You take pride
In that devil down inside
I can take a little pain
I can hold it pretty well
I can watch your little eyes light up
While you're walkin' me through hell
Yeah I've been your fool before babe
And I probably will again
No you ain't afraid to let me have it
Honey you ain't afraid to stick it in
You know so many ways to be wicked
But you don't know one little thing about love
You know so many ways to be wicked
But you don't know one little thing about love
