U2:   The Best Of 1980-1990

Sweetest Thing

My love she throws me like a rubber ball
Oh, the sweetest thing
She won't catch me, or break my fall
Oh, the sweetest thing

Baby's got blue skies up ahead
but in this I'm a rain cloud
You know she wants a dry kind of love
Oh, the sweetest thing

I'm losing you,
I'm losing you,
Ain't love the sweetest thing?

I wanted to run but she made me crawl
Oh, the sweetest thing
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
Oh, the sweetest thing
I know I got black eyes, but they burned so brightly for her
Guess it's a blind kind of love
Oh, the sweetest thing

I'm losing you
I'm losing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing?
Ain't love the sweetest thing?

Blue eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl
Oh, the sweetest thing
You can sew it up, but you still see the tear
Oh, the sweetest thing

Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
Ours is a stormy kind of love

Oh, the sweetest thing
The sweetest thing
Oh, the sweetest thing

The Three Sunrises

Spirit of the rising sun lift me up
Hold me there and never let me fall
Love me 'til I die, my heart won't wait
Soon I will be down...in this love

Love, love song
Love, love song
Hey, hey, love won't find
Find it's own way home

It's a love song, love
Love, love song

Sunshine, sunshine on me
Sunshine, sunshine on me
In this love song, love song
Hey Hey, love won't find
Find it's way home

In this love song
Love song, love song
Sunshine, sunshine on me
Bring it through to my home
I will give you everything
I will give you my desire
Love song, love song

Spanish Eyes

Hey, hey, baby hang on
Baby hang on

Hang to your heart
Beat tight like a drum set
Hang on to your love
See it shine like a song
Hey, hey, baby hang on

Our love it shines like rain
In those spanish eyes, spanish eyes

Hey, hey, here she comes
Comes in colours
You know she gonna turn the daylight on
Cause I love the way you talk to me
And I love the way you walk on me
And I need you
More than you need me
Our love, shines like rain
In those spanish eyes, spanish eyes

Across the world
For green and gold
It's those spanish eyes
That get me home
Home again

Hey, hey, baby hang on
Hey, hey, you know that
The night is young
Dazzled by lights that
Shine in your eyes
I'm standing in the shadows
And wait for the night
Forever in fever
Forever in heat
You pick me up to put me out on the street

Hey, hey, baby hang on, hang on
Hey, hey, baby hang on, hang on
Cause I love the way you talk to me
And I love the way you need me
And I need you.

Love Comes Tumbling

Love don't need to find a way
You find your own way
I forget that I can't stay
And so I say that
All roads lead to where you are
All roads lead to where you are

The seed is spilled, the bed defiled
For you a virgin bride
Find yourself in someone else
Don't find yourself in me

I can't lift you up again
Love comes tumbling down again

Love don't need to find a way
You find your own way
I forget that you can stay
And so I say that
All roads lead to where you are
All roads lead to where you are

Dancing Barefoot

She is a benediction
She is addicted to me
She is the root connection
And she is connecting with me

Here I go and I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taken over me

I'm dancing barefoot
Headed for the spin
Some strange music drags me in
It makes me come out like some heroine

She is sublimation
She is the essence of he
She is concentrating on he
Who is chosen by she

Here I go and I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taken over me?

I'm dancing barefoot
Headed for the spin
Some strange music drags me in
Make me come out like some heroine

She is recreation
She intoxicated by thee
She has the slow sensation
And he is levatating with she

here I go and I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly
Until I lose my sense of gravity

I'm dancing barefoot
Headed for the spin
Some strange music drags me in
Make me come out like some heroine

Oh God I feel for you
Oh God I feel for you
Oh God I feel for you
Oh God I feel for you.

Everlasting Love

Hearts gone astray
Keeping up when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret
I'll come back begging you
Don't you forget
Welcome love we once knew
Yeah

Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love

Need you by my side
Come and be my pride
You'll never be denied
Everlasting love

From the very start
Open up your heart
Feel the love you've got
Everlasting love

This love will last forever
This love will last forever

Hearts gone astray
Keeping up when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret it
I'll come back begging you
Don't you forget
Welcome love we once knew
Yeah

When life really flows
No one really knows
The sun will have to show them
Everlasting love

Like the sun it shines
Endlessly it shines
You always will be mine
Eternal love

Whenever love went wrong
Ours would still be strong
We'd have our own
Everlasting love

This love will last forever
This love will last forever

Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love

Need you by my side
Come and be my pride
Never be denied
Everlasting love

From the very start
Open up your heart
Feel the love you've got

Everlasting love
Everlasting love
Everlasting love
Everlasting love
Everlasting love

Unchained Melody

Oh
Oh my love
Oh my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine

I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

Lonely rivers fall to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me
Wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me

Oh
Oh my love
Oh my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine

I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Speed to me
God speed your love to me

Need your love
Need your love
Need your love
I need your love

Need your love
Need your love
Need your love
I need your love

Need your love
Need your love
Need your love
I need your love

Walk To The Water

She said it wasn't cold
She left her coat at home
She wore canvas shoes, white canvas shoes
Around her neck she wore a silver necklace
It was given to me by my father she said
It was given to me ...

She took the back way home
Past the lights at Summerhill
Turned left onto the north strand
And on, back towards the sea

He said he was an artist
But he really painted billboards
In large capital letters
Large capital letters
He was telling jokes
Nobody else would listen to him...

I saw you that day
Your lips were cherry red
Your legs were crossed and your arms wide open
Your hair was colored gold
And like a field of corn
You were blown by the wind
You were blown by the wind

Walk, walk, walk, to the water
Walk with me awhile
Walk, walk, walk to the waterside
Walk me in the light

A room in the royal hotel
With sea-facing views
A man with a suitcase
Full of things he doesn't need
I'm looking through your window
I'm walking through your doorway
I'm on the outside
Let me in...

Let me, love you
Let me, love you
Let me ...

Walk, walk, walk, to the water
Walk with me, yeah
Walk, walk, walk, to the waterside
Walk with me awhile

Luminous Times (Hold On To Love)

Hey sister love
Hey sister soul
Hey, oh my love
Can't turn me around tonight
Hey, sister love
Save my soul
Save my soul

Hold onto love
Hold onto love
Don't want to let you go
Don't want to let you go
Hold onto love
See the sunshine in your soul

Hey, sister love
Hey, see the sunlight

She comes like carnival
She is the big wheel
She turned my head around
Turned my head around
She is the speedway
She is the slipstream
She is comin' round

Hold onto love
Hold onto love
Love won't let you go
Hold onto love
Hold onto love

See the sunlight in your soul
See the sunlight in your soul

She is the gunfire
She is the car crash
She is the avalanche
She is the thunder
She is the waves and she pulls me under

I love you cause I need to
Not because I need you
I love you cause I understand
That God has given me your hand
It holds me in a tiny fist
But still I need your kiss
Hold onto love...

See the sunlight in your soul
See the sunlight in your soul

Hallelujah, Here She Comes

I see you dressed to kill
I know I can't wait until...
Hallelujah, here she comes
I see you dressed in black
I guess I'm not coming back
Hallelujah, here she comes
Born and raised on the wrong side of town
You get so high, you can't come down (yeah)

I see the road is rough
You know I'm not giving up
Hallelujah, here she comes
I know where the lady goes
I know she got a ring on her toes
Hallelujah, here she comes
Born and raised on the wrong side of town
You get so high, you can't come down

I'm goin' higher, higher, higher on love
Higher, higher, higher on love
I'm gonna be there when that light gonna shine
I'm gonna be there when her heart kindles next to mine
I'm gonna be ... here she comes
Yeah, here she comes

I see you dressed to kill
I know I can't wait until...
Hallelujah, here she comes
I see you dressed in black
I guess I'm not coming back
Hallelujah, here she comes
Born and raised on the wrong side of town
You get so high, you can't come down

I'm goin' higher, higher, higher on love
Higher, higher, higher on love
I'm gonna be there when that light gonna shine

A Room At The Heartbreak Hotel

From where I stand
I can see through you
From where you're sitting pretty one, I know it got to you
See the stars in your eyes
You want the truth, but you need the lies
Like Judy Garland, like Valentino,
You give your life for rock and roll, uh huh

Stand!
We're on the landslide of love!
You got everything you want,
And what you need you give away

For a primitive love, and a ride on the mystery train
A primitive love
A room at the heart, heartbreak hotel
A room at the heartbreak, heartbreak hotel
A room at the heartbreak, heartbreak hotel

You say it's love, it's not the money
You let them suck your life out like honey
Turning tricks
You're on the street selling your kisses so bittersweet

(I love it! -- yeah --
Buy me again!
I want to know pretty baby...
I want to know...
Oooh.. the price is too hard to pay!)

A primitive love, and a ride on the mystery train
A primitive love
A room at the heart, heartbreak hotel
(A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak, the heartbreak hotel, hotel
A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak, the heartbreak hotel, hotel
A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak, the heartbreak hotel, hotel
A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak, the heartbreak hotel, hotel)

Hallelujah, said halle-hello to ya'
Said Hallelujah

(A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak, the heartbreak hotel, hotel
A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak, the heartbreak hotel, hotel)
(Hallelujah)
(A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak, the heartbreak hotel, hotel
A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak, the heartbreak hotel, hotel
A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak, the heartbreak hotel, hotel
A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak, the heartbreak hotel, hotel
A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak, the heartbreak hotel, hotel
A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak, the heartbreak hotel, hotel
A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak, the heartbreak hotel, hotel)

Trash, Trampoline, And The Party Girl

I know a girl, a girl called Party
Party girl
I know she wants more than a party
Party girl
And she won't tell me her name

I know a boy, a boy called Trash
Trash Can
I know he does all that he can
Wham Bam
And he won't tell me his name

I have a heart, a heart that's beating inside
When I was three I thought the world revolved around me
I was wrong
And so I sing along
And if you dance, then dance with me

I know a girl, a girl called Party
Party girl
I know she wants more than a party
Party girl
I know a boy, a boy called Trampoline
You know what I mean

I think you know what he wants
I think he knows what he wants
I think he knows what he wants
