History of the mining disaster, and the song, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springhi... : 
"American folksinger Peggy Seeger and English singer Ewan McColl composed The Ballad of Springhill based on the 1958 disaster. It was originally performed by MacColl and Seeger as an a cappella duet. The Ballad of Springhill was subsequently sung by popular folk revival group Peter, Paul, & Mary and in 1987 the Irish rock stars U2 drew international attention to the memory of the disaster when they included The Ballad of Springhill in the playlist for their Joshua Tree Tour. U2 performed the song at fifteen concerts,... On July 30, 2011, U2 performed the first verse of the song during the final show on the 360° Tour in Moncton, New Brunswick. 
In an interview after the 1987 performance on a 25th anniversary television tribute to the Irish band The Dubliners, Bono stated that the first recording of The Ballad of Springhill he heard was that sung by Irish folk singer Luke Kelly a member of The Dubliners. Peggy Seeger came to Springhill in 2008 where she sang the song on the 50th anniversary of the Bump. Other recordings of the song include the Irish musician Pauline Scanlon version on her début album, Red Colour Sun, featuring Damien Dempsey, renaming the song The Springhill Mining Disaster; and the version by Canadian rapper/producer Socalled on his 2011 album Sleepover." 

OK alright. We are pretty well ready.
Ladies and Gentlemen, another of the groups, 
and we are delighted to welcome into our studio 
a group who've come along specially to pay tribute to the Dubs (Dubliners). 
Would you welcome please U2
Hello We are very very proud to be part of this.
I met Ronnie Drew along the way, along the road, over the years. 
Really love the man. 
Never, never met Luke Kelly. 
I saw him across O'Connell St (Dublin's main street) once. Fiery red hair.
Would have loved to have met him
It is a pleasure to be here. 
This is, this is a song that you lot have inspired me with. 
It is a version of the Springhill Mining Disaster.
In the town of Springhill Nova Scotia 
Down in the dark of the Cumberland mine
There's blood on the coal and the miners lie 
In roads that have never seen sun nor sky
roads that never saw sun nor sky
In the town of Springhill, you don't sleep easy
Often the earth will tremble and roll
When the earth is restless miners die
Bone and blood is the price of coal
Bone and blood is the price of coal
In the town of Springhill Nova Scotia 
Late in the year of eighty eight (88)
Well the day still comes and the sun still shines
But it's dark as a grave in the Cumberland mine 
it's dark as a grave in the Cumberland mine
Listen to the shouts of the blackfaced miners
Listen to the call of a rescue team
We have no water or no bread
So we're living on songs and hope instead
We're living on songs and hope instead
In the town of Springhill Nova Scotia 
Down in the dark of the Cumberland mine
There's blood on the coal and the miners lie 
In roads that have never saw sun nor sky
roads that never saw sun nor sky
In the town of Springhill Nova Scotia 
Often the earth will tremble and roll
When the earth is restless mine, miners die
Bone and blood is the price of coal
Bone and blood is the price of coal
Bone and blood is the price of coal
Thank you
Great performance 
Well done
Thank you
You are very welcome
As they say, you are very welcome to this house
Well done that was a nice performance
Talk to me about Luke did he have a great influence on you?
Yeah I would say you know, 
we've got something of the soul of Ronnie Drew and the rest of the guys
Like to think we've something of the spirit of Luke Kelly
Just to say as a singer he inspired me to sing
I mean, when I grew up in my house... at Christmas ... 
And other times at the weekend, indeed anytime drink was brought out, 
We'd sing some of the songs
I'm still singing them because I think they are worth singing
I saw him cross O'Connell Street once (Dublin's main street)
You just saw him across O'Connell Street?
Yeah who's that guy with the fiery red hair?
Because everyone was looking at him. 
I said that's Luke Kelly. 
I ought to have known him. 
You ought to have known him
And you never got to shake his hand?
No and it is to my lasting regret
And really that is why we are here tonight. 
Well that is a nice tribute. Now when are you off ...?

U2 - Ordinary Love (From Mandela OST) Lyric Video

U2 premieres their new song Ordinary Love (from Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom).

The sea wants to kiss the golden shore

The sunlight warms your skin

All the beauty that's been lost before

Wants to find us again

I can't fight you anymore

It's you I'm fighting for

The sea throws rocks together

But time leaves us polished stones

We can't fall any further

If we can't feel ordinary love

We cannot reach any higher

If we can't deal with ordinary love

Birds fly high in the summer sky

And rest on the breeze

The same wind will take care of you and

I will build our house in the trees

Your heart is on my sleeve

Did you put there with a magic marker

For years I would believe

That the world couldn't wash it away

'Cause we can't fall any further

If we can't feel ordinary love

We cannot reach any higher

If we can't deal with ordinary love

Are we tough enough

For ordinary love

We can't fall any further

If we can't feel ordinary love

We cannot reach any higher

If we can't deal with ordinary love

We can't fall any further

If we can't feel ordinary love

We cannot reach any higher

If we can't deal with ordinary love

A Celebration - U2 Live 1982

I gotta go! 
I believe in a celebration 
I believe we can be free. 
I believe you can loose these chains 
I believe you can dance with me, dance with me. 
Shake! Shake! 
Shake! Shake! 

I believe in the Third World War 
I believe in the atomic bomb. 
I believe in the powers-that-be 
But they won’t overpower me. 

And you can go there too, 
And you can go, go, go, go! 
Shake! Shake! 
Shake! Shake! 

And we don’t have the time 
And everything goes round and round 
And we don’t have the time 
To watch the world go tumbling down. 

I believe in the bells of Christchurch 
Ringing for this land. 
I believe in the cells of Mountjoy 
There is an honest man. 

And you can go there too. 

I believe in the walls of Jericho 
I believe they’re coming down. 
I believe in this city’s children 
I believe the trumpet’s sound. 

And you can go there too. 

U2 Don't Take Your Guns to Town (A Tribute to Johnny Cash).

"Don't Take Your Guns To Town"

A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm
A boy filled with wonderlust who really meant no harm
He changed his clothes and shined his boots
And combed his dark hair down
And his mother cried as he walked out

[Chorus]
Don't take your guns to town son 
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town

He laughed and kissed his mom 
And said your Billy Joe's a man
I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can
But I wouldn't shoot without a cause
I'd gun nobody down
But she cried again as he rode away

[Chorus]
Don't take your guns to town son 
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town

He sang a song as on he rode 
His guns hung at his hips
He rode into a cattle town
A smile upon his lips
He stopped and walked into a bar
And laid his money down
But his mother's words echoed again

[Chorus]
Don't take your guns to town son 
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town

He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand
And tried to tell himself he had become a man
A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down
And he heard again his mothers words

[Chorus]
Don't take your guns to town son 
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town

Filled with rage then
Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw
But the stranger drew his gun and fired 
Before he even saw
As Billy Joe fell to the floor
The crowd all gathered 'round 
And wondered at his final words

[Chorus]
Don't take your guns to town son 
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town

U2 - War in Europe - Two Hearts beat as One 1983 High Quality

I don't know
I don't know which side I'm on
I don't know my right from left
Or my right from wrong
Say I'm a fool
You say I'm not for you
But if I'm a fool for you
Oh, that's something
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts...

Can't stop the dance
Honey, this is my last chance
I said, can't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance

Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts...

They beat on black, beat on white
Beat on everything don't get it right
Beat on you, beat on me, beat on love

I don't know
How to say what's got to be said
I don't know if it's black or white
There's others see it red
I don't get the answers right
I'll leave that to you
Is this love out of fashion?
Or is it the time of year?
Are these words distraction
To the words you wanna hear?

Two hearts beat as one
Two hearts beat as one

I try to spit it out
I try to explain
The way I feel
Oh, yeah
Two hearts

I can't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance
I said I can't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance
I said don't stop the dance
Maybe this is my last chance
I said can't stop the dance
Maybe this is our last chance
I said can't stop the dance
Maybe this is our last chance

Rare U2 Springhill Mining Disaster Live From Dublin

U2 - Maggie's Farm (Live at "R.D.S. Showgrounds", Dublin, Ireland 17-05-1986

I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
No, I aint gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
Well, I wake up in the morning
Fold my hands and pray for rain
I got a head full of ideas
That are drivin' me insane
It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
No, I aint gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
Well, he hands you a nickel
He hands you a dime
He asks you with a grin
If you're havin' a good time
Then he fines you every time you slam the door
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother more.

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
No, I aint gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
Well, he puts his cigar
Out in your face just for kicks
His bedroom window 
It is made out of bricks
The National Guard stands around his door
Ah, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more.

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
Well, when she talks to all the servants
About man and God and law
Everybody says
She's the brains behind pa
She's sixty-eight, but she says she's fifty-four
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more.

I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
I aint gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
Well, I try my best
To be just like I am
But everybody wants you
To be just like them
They say sing while you slave and I just get bored
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
