//www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdZGIimB1IkLinear Notes from http://www.u2wanderer.org:I'm Not Your Baby: Music by U2. Lyrics by Bono. Performed by U2 and Sinead O'Connor. Produced by Howie B. and Flood. Engineered by Mark 'Spike' Stent. Assisted by Rob Kirwan. Mixed by Howie B. Assisted by Paul Falcone at the Hit Factory, NY. Vocal Production by Steve Osborne.Another Wim Wenders movie and another U2 track on the soundtrack. U2 has worked extensively with Wenders on film soundtracks. For this movie they teamed up with Sinead O'Connor to contribute "I'm Not Your Baby". All of U2 was involved in this project, and Larry has named it as one of his favorite songs that U2 did in the 1990s.
I reckon had u2 ploughed on and gone with/finished the version of this that is on the Hong Kong mixes Youtube video and put it on Pop (preferably in place of IGWSHA) then that would very likely have been my favourite u2 song.

One of the best songs on the album and so much better than this B-side effort.

Give the album a modern remaster and you'll know what I'm talking about. They made the right decision keeping Holy Joe and INYB off the album.

My Japanese version of POP has Holy Joe at the end
