U2 — No line on the horizon

No Line On The Hori­zon :
I know a girl who’s like the sea
I watch her chan­ging every day for me
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

One day she’s still, the next she swells
You can hear the uni­verse in her sea shells
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

No, no line on the hori­zon, no line

I kwow a girl with a hole in her heart
She said infi­nity is a great place to start
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

She said «Time is irre­le­vant, it’s not linear«
Then she put her tounge in my ear
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

No, no line on the hori­zon, no line
No, no line
No, no line on the hori­zon, no line
No, no line

The songs in your head are now on my mind
You put me on pause
I’m trying to rewind and replay
Every night I have the same dream
I’m hat­ching some plot, sche­ming some scheme
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I’m traf­fic cop, due de marais
The sirens are wai­ling but it’s me that wants to get away
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

No, no line on the hori­zon, no line
No, no line
No, no line on the hori­zon, no line
No, no line

Magni­ficent :
Magni­ficent
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

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…

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
The Magni­ficent
Magnificent

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
The magni­ficent
Magni­ficent
Magnificent

Moment Of Sur­ren­der :
I tied myself with wire
To let the horses run free
Playing with the fire
Until the fire played with me

The stone was semi pre­cious
We were barely conscious
Two souls too smart to be
In the realm of cer­tainty
Even on our wed­ding day

We set our­selves on fire
A girl could not deny her
Its not if I believe in love
If love believes in me
Oh believe in me

At the moment of sur­ren­der
I’m fal­ling to my knees
I did not notice the pas­sers by
And they did not notice me

I’ve been in every black hole
At the alter of a Dark star
My body s now beg­ging
Though it’s beg­ging to get back
Beg­ging to get back
To my heart
To the rhythm of my soul
To the rhythm of my conscious­ness
To the rhythm of yes
To be relea­sed from control

I was pun­ching in the num­bers at the ATM machine
I could see in the reflec­tion
A face sta­ring back at me
At the moment of sur­ren­der
A vision of a visi­bi­lity
I did notice the pas­sers by
And they did not notice me

I was spee­ding off the sub­way
Through the sta­tions of the cross
Every eye loo­king every other way
Coun­ting down till the pain will stop

At the moment of sur­ren­der
A vision of a visi­bi­lity
I did not notice the pas­sers by
And they did not notice me

Unk­nown Cal­ler :
Sun­shine, sun­shine
Sun­shine, sun­shine
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

I was lost bet­ween the mid­night and the daw­ning
In a place of no conse­quence or com­pany
3:33 when the num­bers fell off the clock face
Speed dia­ling with no signal at all
Go, shout it out, rise up
Oh, oh

Escape your­self, and gra­vity
Hear me, cease to speak that I may speak
Shush now
Oh, oh

Force quit and move to trash
I was right there at the top of the bot­tom
On the edge of the known uni­verse where I wan­ted to be
I had dri­ven to the scene of the acci­dent
And I sat there wai­ting for me
Res­tart and re-boot your­self
You´re free to go
Oh, oh

Shout for joy if you get the chance
Pass­word, you enter here, right now
Oh, oh

You know your name so punch it in
Hear me, cease to speak that I may speak
Shush now
Oh, oh

I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight :
She’s a rain­bow and she loves the pea­ce­ful life
Knows I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight

There’s a part of me in chaos that’s quiet
And there’s a part of you that wants me to riot
Eve­ry­body needs to cry or needs to spit
Every sweet-tooth needs just a lit­tle hit
Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot
How can you stand next to the truth and not see it?
Change of heart comes slow..

It’s not a hill it’s a moun­tain
As you start out the climb
Do you believe me or are you doub­tin?
We’re gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight

Every gene­ra­tion gets a chance to change the world
Divi­na­tion that will lis­ten to your boys and girls
Is the swee­test melody the one we haven’t heard?
Is it true that per­fect love drives out all fear?
The right to be ridi­cu­lous is some­thing I hold dear
But change of heart comes slow…

It’s not a hill it’s a moun­tain
As you start out the climb
You see for me I’ve been shou­tin
But we’re gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight

Baby, baby, baby, I know I’m not alone
Baby, baby, baby, I know I’m not alone
Ha, ha, ha

It’s not a hill it’s a moun­tain
You see for me I’ve been shou­ting
Let’s shout until the dark­ness, squeeze out sparks of light
You know we’ll go crazy
You know we’ll go crazy
You know we’ll go crazy, if we don’t go crazy tonight 

Get On Your Boots :
The future needs a big kiss, winds blow with a twist
Never seen a moon like this, can you see it too?
Night is fal­ling eve­ryw­here rockets hit the fun-fair
Satan loves a bomb scare but he won’t scare you

Hey! Sexy boots
Get on your boots yeah!

Free me from a dark dream, candy floss, ice cream
All the kids are screa­ming but the ghosts aren’t real
Here’s what we gotta be: love & com­mu­nity
Laugh­ter is eter­nity if joy is real

You don’t know how… beau­ti­ful
You don’t know how beau­ti­ful… you are
You don’t know (you don’t know)
You don’t get it do you?
You don’t know… how beau­ti­ful you are

.… . .

If some have stuff to blow it up, well, we are into gro­wing up
Women are the future, all the big reve­la­tions
I got a sub­ma­rine, you’ve got gaso­line
I don’t wanna talk about wars bet­ween nations

Not right now
Sexy boots
No! No, no, no
Get on your boots yeah!
Not right now!
Foxy boots

Aaaaow!

You don’t know how… beau­ti­ful
You don’t know how beau­ti­ful… you are
You don’t know (you don’t know)
You don’t get it do you?
You don’t know… how beau­ti­ful you are

Sexy boots
I don’t wanna talk about wars bet­ween the nations
Sexy Boots… yeah!

Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound sound
Let me in the sound sound
Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound now
Oh God I’m going down
I don’t wanna drown now
Meet me in the sound

Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound sound
Let me in the sound sound
Meet me in the sound

Get on your boots
Get on your boots
Get on your boots
Yeah hey hey!
Get on your boots
Yeah hey hey!
Get on your boots
Yeah hey hey!
Get on your boots
Yeah hey hey!

Stand Up Comedy :
Love love love love love…
Love love love love love…

I got stand up and tale a step
You and I have been asleep for hours
I got to stand up
The wire is stret­ched in bet­ween our two towers
Stand up in this dizzy world
Where a love­sick eye can steal the view
I´m gonna fall down if I can´t stand up
For your love

Love love love love love…
Stand up, this is comedy
The DNA lot­tery may have left you smart
But can you stand up to beauty, dic­ta­tor of the heart
I can stand up for hope, faith love
But while I´m get­ting over cer­tainty
Stop hel­ping God across the road like a lit­tle old lady
Out from under your beds
C´mon ye people
Stand up for your love
Love love love love love…

I gotta stand up to ego bet my ego´s not really the enemy
it’s like a small child cros­sing an eight lane high­way
On a voyage of dis­co­very
Stand up to rock stars, Napo­lean is high heels
Jose­phine, be care­ful of small men with big ideas
Out form under your beds
C’mon ye people
Stand up for your love
Love love love love love…

God is love
And love is evolution’s very best day
Soul rockin” people moving on
Soul rockin” people on and on
C’mon ye people
We’re made of stars
C’mon ye people
Stand up then sit down for your love

Love love love love love…
Love love love love love…

Fez — Being Born :
Six o’clock
On the auto­route
Bur­ning rub­ber, bur­ning chrome
Bay of Cadiz and ferry home
Atlan­tic sea cut glass
Afri­can sun at last
Lights.. flash past
Like memo­ries
A spee­ding head, a spee­ding heart
I’m being born, a blee­ding start
The engines roar, blood cur­ling wail
Head first then foot
The heart sets sail

White As Snow :
Where I grew up there were no hills at all
The land was flat, the high­way straight and wide
My bro­ther and I, we’d drive for hours, like we’d years ins­tead of days
Our faces as pale as the dirty snow

Once I knew there was a love divine
Then came a time I thought it knew me not
Who can for­give for­gi­ve­ness when for­gi­ve­ness is not?
Only the land as white as snow

And the water it was icy
As it washed over me
And the moon shi­ned above me
Now this dry ground it bears no fruit at all
Only [..] under a cres­cent moon
The road refuses stran­gers
The land, the seeds we sew
Where might we find a land as white as snow?

As boys we would go hun­ting in the wood
To sleep, the night shun out the stars
Now the wolves are every pas­sing stran­ger
Every face we can­not know

For only a heart could be as white as snow
For only a heart could be as white as snow

Breathe :
16th of June, nine 0-five, door bell rings
Man at the door says if I want to stay alive a bit lon­ger
There’s a few things I need you to know.
Three coming from a long line of tra­vel­ling sales people on my mother’s side
I wasn’t gonna buy just anyone’s cocka­too
So why would I invite a com­plete stran­ger into my home
Would you?
These days are bet­ter than that
These days are bet­ter than that
Every day I die again, and again I’m reborn
Every day I have to find the cou­rage
To walk out into the street
With arms out
Got a love you can’t defeat
Nei­ther down or out
There’s nothing you have that I need
I can breathe
Breathe now

16th of June, Chi­nese stocks are going up
And I’m coming down with some new Asian virus
Ju Ju man, Ju Ju man
Doc says you’re fine, or dying
Please
Nine 0-nine, St John Divine, on the line, my pulse is fine
But I’m run­ning down the road like loose elec­tri­city
While the band in my head plays a strip­tease
The roar that lies on the other side of silence
The forest fire that is fear so deny it
Walk out into the street
Sing your heart out
The people we meet
Will not be drow­ned out
There’s nothing you have that I need
I can breathe
Breathe now
Yeah, yeah

We are people borne of sound
The songs are in our eyes
Gonna wear them like a crown
Walk out, into the sun­burst street
Sing your heart out, sing my heart out
I’ve found grace inside a sound
I found grace, it’s all that I found
And I can breathe
Breathe now

Cedars Of Leba­non :
Yes­ter­day I spent asleep
Woke up in my clothes in a dirty heap
Spent the night tryin to make a dead­line
Squee­zin com­pli­ca­ted lives into a simple head­line
I have your face in an old Pola­roid
Tidyin the chil­drens clothes and toys
You smi­lin back at me I took the photo from the fridge
Can’t remem­ber what Emily did
Haven’t been with a woman, it feels like, for years
Thought of you the whole time, your salty tears
This shitty world some­times pro­duces a rose
The scent of it lin­gers but then it just goes

Return the call to home

The worst of us are a long drawn-out confes­sion
The best of us are geniuses of com­pres­sion
You say you’re not gonna leave the truth alone
I’m here ’cause I don’t wanna go home
Child drin­kin dirty water from a river­bank
Sol­dier brings oranges he got out from a tank
Wai­tin on the wai­ter, he’s takin a while to come
Wat­chin the sun go down on Lebanon

Return the call to home

I got a head like a lit ciga­rette
Unholy clouds reflect in a mina­ret
So high above me, higher than eve­ryone
Where are you in the cedars of Leba­non?
Choose your ene­mies care­fully, ’cause they will define you
Make them inter­es­ting ’cause in some ways they will mind you
They’re not there in the begin­ning but when your story ends
Gonna last with you lon­ger than your friends
