The Ground Beneath her Feet.

All my life, I worshipped her

Her golden voice, her beauty’s beat

How she made us feel

How she made me real

And the ground beneath her feet

And the ground beneath her feet

And now I can’t be sure of anything

Black is white, and cold is heat

For what I worshipped stole my love away

It was the ground beneath her feet

It was the ground beneath her feet

Go lightly down your darkened way

Go lightly underground

I’ll be down there in another day

I won’t rest until you’re found

Let me love you true, let me rescue you

Let me lead you to where two roads meet

O come back above

Where there’s only love

And the ground beneath her feet

And the ground beneath her feet

Bono + the MDH Band - Never Let Me Go

Wow. After I jumped, it ocurred to me. Life is perfect. Life is the best, full of magic, beauty, opportunity, and television. And surprises...lot's of surprises, yeah. And then there's the best stuff, of course. Better than anything anyone ever made up, 'cause it's real. 

You take a stranger by the hand
A man who doesn't understand
His wildest dreams

You walk across the dirty sand
And offer him an ocean
Of what he's never seen

Maybe I was blind
Or I, I might have closed my eyes
Maybe I was dumb
But what I forgot to say
If you didn't know
Is never let me go

Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go

You run from love and don't believe
Unless it catches you by the heel
That even then, you struggle

From red I learned to cross the strand
Your footprints still there in the sand
Everything else, washed away

I may not be alone
Oh I, I may have found my home
I may have lost my way
But what I forgot to say
If you didn't know
Is never let me go

Never let me go
Never let me go

U2 Stateless

I got no home in this world 

Just gravity, luck, and time 

I've got no home in this world 

Just you, and you are not mine 

Stateless 

Fateless 

Stateless 

(shut you cold) 

There are no colours in your eyes 

There's no sunshine in your sky 

There's no race, only the prize 

There is no tomorrow, only tonight 

Stateless 

Oh... what's the difference? 

You can cover the world with your thumb 

Still so big, so bright, so beautiful 

Weightless 

Stateless 

Push down on me 

Push, down on me 

(Push) 

Awake now 

A weight, get down on me 

Your weight... down... 

Bring your weight on, down on me 

Be the heavy hand, the mortal sand 

Be the weight, heart, get down on me 

Stateless 

Weightless 

Satellite of Love

Satellite's gone
up to the sky
Things like that drive me
out of my mind

I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV

Satellite of love (x2)

Satellite's gone
way up to Mars
Soon it will be filled (baby)
with parking cars

I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV

Satellite of love (repeat)

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday
Monday, Tuesday, Wednessday, Friday (repeat)

Satellite's gone
up to the sky
Things like that drive me
out of my mind

I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV

Satellite of love (repeat)

Falling at your Feet.

every chip from every cup 
every promise given up 
every reason that's not enough 
is falling, falling at your feet 

every band elastic limit 
every race when there's nothing in it 
every winner that's lost a ticket 
is falling, falling at your feet 
i've come crawling, falling at your feet 

everyone who needs a friend 
every life that has no end 
every knee not ready to bend 
is falling, falling at your feet 
i've come crawling, now i'm falling at your feet 

all fall down (all the manic dazed faces that you pull) 
all fall down (all the action is not under your control) 
all fall down (the graffiti rolling down off of your tongue) 
all fall down (and the compromise you make for some) 

every teenager with acne 
every face that's spoiled by beauty 
every adult tamed by duty 
they're all falling at your feet 

every foot in every face 
every cop's stop who finds the grace 
every prisioner in the maze 
every hand that needs an ace 
is falling, falling at your feet 
i've come crawling, and i'm falling at your feet 

(all fall down) all the books you never read 
(all fall down) just started 
(all fall down) all the meals you rushed 
(all fall down) never tasted 

every eye closed by a bruise 
every player who just can't lose 
every pop star howling abuse 
every drunk back on the booze 
all falling at your feet 
oh i'm falling at your feet 

(all fall down) all the information 
(all fall down) all the big ideas 
(all fall down) all the radio waves 
(all fall down) electronic seas 
(all fall down) how to navigate 
(all fall down) how to simply be 
(all fall down) to know when to wait 
(all fall down) this plain simplicity 
(all fall down) in whom shall i trust 
(all fall down) how might i be still 
(all fall down) teach me to surrender 
(all fall down) not my will, thy will

Tom Tom s Dream

The First Time.

The Edge opens softly and the song builds slowing and gracefully. This was the work of Brian Eno and Bono. The song is simple clean and as you will find a soulful lyric reference to God and "keys to the kingdom" I have to agree with Brett this was and maybe still one of the best songs of the 90's and while I have my first love "New Years Day" my heart does fill with love for the first time.

I have a lover 
a lover like no other 
she got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul 
and she teach me how to sing 
Shows me colours when there's none to see 
gives me hope when i can't believe 
that for the first time 
i feel love 
I have a brother 
when i'm a brother in need 
i spend my whole time running 
he spends his running after me 
When i feel myself going down 
i just call and he comes around 
but for the first time 
i feel love 
My father is a rich man 
he wears a rich man's cloak 
gave me the keys to his kingdom coming 
gave me a cup of gold 
He said i have many mansions 
and there are many rooms to see 
but i left by the back door 
and i threw away the key 
and i threw away the key 
yeah, i threw away the key 
yeah, i threw away the key 
For the first time 
for the first time 
for the first time 
I feel love
