U2 - I Will Follow (1981 UK TV Performance) ~ HIGH QUALITY

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

Rare video from Dublin 1987.

A beautiful tribute to those who have died down any mine and also to the great Luke Kelly, whose version of this is also phenomenal.

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.

U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday

Watch U2 perform their classic protest song "Sunday Bloody Sunday." Larry Mullen, Jr. has said that the song is less about the specific event, Bloody Sunday, and more about the need to continue to combat violence and hatred all over the world.

U2 Mercy, From Songs of Ascent

I was drinking some wine... and it turned to blood

What's the use of religion... if you're any good

I know i'm weedkiller honey... and you're sugar

If you're the prosecution... i get away with murder

If you were ice... i'm water

And with your telescope... i can see further

We're binary code... a one and a zero

You wanted violins... and you got nero

You're gravity... searching for the ground

You're silence... searching for a sound

Your heart is aching... your heart is my home

It's fascinating... i know i'll never be alone

When I was ripping the stitches

Without two hands to rub

I'm digging the ditches

Of someone else's luck

Love hears when i lie

Love puts the blue back in my eye

Love will come again

I'll be gone again... again

If you're hunger... baby let me feed it

If your heart is full... baby let me bleed it

And happiness is for... those who don't really need it

You love me... too much

You always loved me... too much

When I was ripping the stitches

Without two hands to rub

I'm digging the ditches

Of someone else's luck

Love hears when i lie

Love puts the blue back in my eye

Love has come again

I am gone again

Love's got to be with the weak

Only then love gets a chance to speak

Love will come again

I'll be gone again... again

I... i can't escape myself

I hear you talk

Feeling nothing

I fear nothing

Feel....

I can hear so much

Fear nothing

I feel so much

Fear... nothing

Love has come again

I am gone again

Love is the end of history

The enemy of misery

Love has come again

I am gone again

Love is justice, not charity

Love brings with it a clarity

Love has come again

I'm alive again

Alive...

I am alive, baby i'm born again and again

And again, and again and again and again

Again

You can change your mind

But you cannot change your heart

Your heart knows what you're hiding

Your heart knows where you are

I'd be myself if I knew who I'd become

You don't have to fly too high

To get too close to the sun

See the boy fall from the sky

You will always be in front of me

Even as I disappear from view

For I have done not a single thing

Without the thought of you

But no, not here, not now, no way

I'm not ready to give up the fight

If I can use a single thread to cross the sky

Then why is the eye of the needle

Still your heart tonight

See how the boy falls from the sky

The city conducts a symphony

I'll search through the trash for a melody

That might lead us back to dignity

In this junkyard of humanity

To let you go without regret

I will forever hold you always in my heart inside

Over the screams and the siren's wail

The only thing not up for sale

Are lovers like lights on a midnight train

Hearts like thunder with no sign of rain

Lightening splits the sky, kisses your face

Yours is the sacrifice, yours is the grace

I hear your voice inside my head

I wil listen to nobody, not to no one else

From the bridge where we both stood and stole the view

I saw the you in me and the me in you

These are the threads that bind

The ones we have to weave

They will hold us true, I believe

I believe

Believe, believe, believe, believe

Believe, believe, believe

U2-Reeve Carney ft. Bono, the Edge - Rise above 1 (Live on American Idol).

Song played in the final of American Idol 2011, actor and singer Reeve Carney, The Edge and Bono of the band U2, Rise Above topic, I hope you like it

Rise Above-Bono & The Edge for Spider Man Musical.

Rise Above.

Carney:

And you shall rise above,

Open your eyes up,

And you shall rise above,

(But) I can’t, I can’t.

Bono:

How long will it take,

Before these feelings go away?

How much longer do I wait,

And are there any real answers,

Anyway?

Your silence in a crowded room,

Louder than the loudest tune,

I hang on every word…

Carney:

And you shall rise above,

Open your eyes up.

And you shall rise above,

(But) I can’t, I can’t.

Bono:

I miss you and everything,

I was too fast travelling,

To take you in.

(I know) silence is no crime,

Just wish I could hear you fill it up one more time.

(Yes I) know what you’d say to me,

Exactly what you’d say to me,

I still hang on every word…

Carney:

And you shall rise above,

Open your eyes up.

And you shall rise above,

Yourself.

All:

In a time of treason,

Is there time for trust?

When there’s no them,

Only us.

Is there time for reason,

Has your heart had enough?

Is there time to let go,

And rise above?

Carney:

And you shall rise above,

Open your eyes to love.

And you shall rise above,

Yourself.

Elvis... white trash
Elvis... the Memphis flash
Elvis... didn't smoke hash
Would've been a sissy without Johnny Cash

Elvis... didn't dodge the draft
Elvis... had his own aircraft
Elvis... having a laugh
On the Lisa Marie in a colour photograph 

Elvis... under the hood

Elvis... darling bud
Flowered and returned to the Mississippi mud 

Elvis... ain't gonna rot
Elvis... in a Memphis plot
Elvis... he didn't hear the shot
And Dr. King died just across the lot from... 

Elvis... vanilla ice cream
Elvis... girls of fourteen
Elvis... the Memphis spleen
Shooting TVs reading Corinthian's 13 

Elvis... with God on his knees
Elvis... owned three TVs
Here come the killer bees
Head full of honey potato chips and cheese
Elvis... the bumper stickers
Elvis... the white knickers
Elvis... the white nigger
Ate at king burger and just kept getting bigger 

Elvis... sang to win
Elvis... the battle hymn
Elvis... the battle to be slim
Elvis ate America before America ate him 

Elvis... 

Elvis... stamps
Elvis... necromance
Elvis... fans
Elvis... psychophants
Elvis... the public enemy
