Music on Stage

U2 – Beautiful Day

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’re lovin’ 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

Music on Stage

Mary J. Blige, U2 – One

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 (one life) 
It’s one need in the night 
One love (one love), get to share it 
Leaves you darling, 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 

Well, 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 
Well we, hurt each other 
Then we do it again 

You say 
Love is a temple 
Love is a higher law 
Love is a temple 
Love is the higher law 
You ask me to enter 
Well 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 and my 
Brothers 
One life 
But we’re not the same 
We get to 
Carry each other 
Carry each other 

One… 
One love

Music on Stage

U2 – Hawkmoon 269

Like a desert needs rain
Like a town needs a name
I need your love

Like a drifter needs a room
Hawkmoon
I need your love
I need your love

Like a rhythm unbroken
Like drums in the night
Like sweet soul music
Like sunlight
I need your love

Like coming home
And you don’t know where you’ve been
Like black coffee
Like nicotine
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)

When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love
I need your love

Like a Phoenix rising needs a holy tree
Like the sweet revenge of a bitter enemy
I need your love

Like the hot needs the sun
Like honey on her tongue
Like the muzzle of a gun
Like oxygen
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)
I need your love (I need your love)

When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love

I need your love…
[Repeat 9 times]

Like thunder needs rain
Like a preacher needs pain
Like tongues of flame
Like a sheet stained
I need your love
I need your love

Like a needle needs a vein
Like someone to blame
Like a thought unchained
Like a runaway train
I need your love

I need your love…
[Repeat 7 times]

Like faith needs a doubt
Like a freeway out
I need your love

Like powder needs a spark
Like lies need the dark
I need your love

In the heart of the heat of the love
In the heart of the heat of the love…
[Repeat until end]
