One of the big things that drew me to U2 was Bono's lyrics. Some of my favorites:
"Sweet the sin
Bitter taste in my mouth
I see seven towers
But I only see one way out
You got to cry without weeping
Talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice"
“Don’t worry, baby
It’s gonna be alright
Uncertainty can be a guiding light"
“I’ll see you again
when the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red
Over one tree hill
we run like a river"
"Red lights, gray morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around"
There's a lot of other lyrics I could list but those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
How about yours?
