A letra:

When I was eighteen years old
Broke down and you know I cried
I said I was true with one woman
But you know I think I lied
'Cause I take all I can get
But you know I'm never never satisfied
I just won't more more more
I want more more more
I said it then more more more
I want more more more
You know enough
Enough is just not enough
Hey I want more

Now I woke up this morning
I was an old well my baby used to be
Said she new all about my other women
Because she had been checking up on me
Well you know that's just the way I am
And I think that's the way I'll gone with me
I just won't more more more
I want more more more
I said it then more more more
I want more more more
You know enough
Enough is just not enough
Hey I just want more

I wanna more more more
More more

Somebody's knocking at the door
There's a black car parked at the side of the road
Don't go to the door
Don't go to the door

I'm going out
I'm going outside mother
I'm going out there

Won't you be back tomorrow?
Won't you be back tomorrow?
Will you be back tomorrow?
La la la la la

Who broke the window?
Who broke down the door?
Who tore the curtain?
And who was it for?
Who heals the wounds?
Who heals the scars?
Open the door, open the door

Won't you come back tomorrow?
Won't you be back tomorrow?
Will you be back tomorrow?
Can I sleep tonight?

'Cause I want you
I, I want you
I really want you
I, I want, I, I

Want you to be back tomorrow
I want you to be back tomorrow
Will you be back tomorrow?
La la la la la

I want you to be back tomorrow
I want you to be back tomorrow
Will you be back tomorrow?
Open up, open up, to the Lamb of God
To the love of He
Who made the blind to see
He's coming back
He's coming back
Oh believe Him

A letra:

Uttering idle words from a reprobate mind,
Clinging to strange promises, dying on the vine,
Never bein' able to separate the good from the bad,
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it,
It's makin' me feel so bad.

Dead man, dead man,
When will you rise?
Cobwebs in your mind,
Dust in your eyes.

Satan got you by the heel, there's a bird's nest in your hair.
Do you have any faith at all? Do you have any love to share?
The way that you hold your head, cursin' God with every move,
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it,
What are you tryin' to prove?

Dead man, dead man,
When will you rise?
Cobwebs in your mind,
Dust in your eyes.

The glamor ad the bright lights and the politics of sin,
The ghetto you build for me is the one you end up in,
The race of the engine that overrules your heart,
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it,
Pretending that you're so smart.

Dead man, dead man,
When will you rise?
Cobwebs in your mind,
Dust in your eyes.

What are you tryin' to overpower me with, the doctrine or the gun?
My back is already to the wall, where can I run?
The tuxedo that you're wearin', the flower in your lapel,
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it,
You want to take me down to hell.

Dead man, dead man,
When will you rise?
Cobwebs in your mind,
Dust in your eyes.

A letra:

Down by the sea
I found your hidden treasure
Just you and me,
We overdosed on pleasure

Yonnies in the wind,
We're ruggin' up for winter
Putting out the bins
In cold and windy weather

Down by the docks
Live all the silent sea-ships
Crates are stored on blocks
Where now only the rats live

Sail me down the river
Till we reach the shore
Diving into the center
Eating out the core

Down on the beach
Saluting Captain Benbow
Always out of reach
It's quiet when the tide's low

Climbing up the cliffs
You can see for miles far
The boat that ran adrift
Is sitting on the sandbar

Laughing at the waves
That storm the river mouth
The ice is on the move now
Creeping north and south

Down by the sea
I found your hidden treasure
Just you and me
We over-dosed on pleasure

Listen to your heart
Screamin' at the sky
Can't you feel it tremble?
Don't you wonder why?

Sixteen days in Bethlehem
Peddling dope to keep drinking wine
Pulling women, making gigs
Steerin' clear and doin' fine
I moved on down to Galilee
Trying to find a few new friends
I'm throwin' aces everywhere
Trying to forget the end

So hold me Lord, hold me Lord
Hold me tight, I'm slippin' through
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord
Hold me tight, I beg of You

I'm cruising through Jerusalem
Dust is flyin' everywhere
I'm dodging bullets, making time
On the level, in the square

They say you kissed your best friend's hand
They say you did it for his love
They say he got in agony
The hand fits well into the glove

Woah, hold me Lord, hold me Lord
Hold me tight, I'm slippin' through
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord
Hold me tight, I beg of You

Hold me Lord, hold me Lord
Hold me tight, I'm slippin' through
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord
Hold me tight, I beg of You

Ohh, hold me Lord, hold me Lord
Hold me tight, I'm slippin' through
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord
Hold me tight, I beg of You

Hold me Lord, oh hold me Lord
Hold me tight, I'm slippin' through
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord
Hold me tight, I beg of You

Watching girls go passing by
It ain't the latest thing
I'm just standing in a doorway
I'm just trying to make some sense
Out of these girls that passing by
The tales they tell of men
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend

Mmm, a smile relieves a heart that grieves
Remember what I said
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend
Just waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend

Mmm, don't need a whore, I don't need no booze
Don't need a virgin priest
But I need someone I can cry to
I need someone to protect
Mmm, making love and breaking hearts
It is a game for youth
But I'm not waiting on my lady
I'm just waiting on a friend

I'm just waiting on a friend
Just waiting on a friend
Waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend
Just waiting on a friend
Waiting on a friend
Waiting on a friend

2116 – U2 – October (1981)

 

Escrita por Bono Vox, The Edge, Larry Mullen Jr. e Adam Clayton, foi gravada entre julho e agosto de 1981 no Windmill Lane Studios em Dublin, Irlanda e lançada em 20 de outubro de 1981, no disco de mesmo nome, o segundo da banda. Foi produzida por Steve Lillywhite. Reflete o tumulto espiritual da banda no momento, onde Bono, Larry e Edge estavam brigando pra saber se continuavam na banda ou seguiam suas crenças católicas. Ele fala que October é uma imagem, pois viveram tudo nos anos 60, tinham carros, geladeiras, mandamos o homem pra lua e todo mundo pensava que a humanidade era massa demais. Ai chegou os anos 70 e 80 e é um tempo frio, como o mês de outubro. É depois da colheita, as árvores estão despidas e nós podemos ver que não somos tão espertos assim, afinal tinha milhares de pessoas sem emprego, e ao mesmo tempo tempo temos bombas atomicas e foguetes. Edge toca piano.

A letra:

October
And the trees are striped bare

From all they wear
What do I care?
October
And kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on
And on...

Heart of mine

Heart of mine, go back home
You got no reason to wander, no reason to roam
Don't let her see
Don't let her see that you need her
Don't put yourself over the line
Heart of mine

Heart of mine, go back where you've been
It'll be only trouble for you if you let her in
Don't let her hear
Don't let her hear where you're goin'
Don't untie the ties that bind
Heart of mine

Heart of mine, so malicious and so full of guile
Give you an inch and you'll take a mile
Don't let yourself fall
Don't let yourself stumble
If you can't do the time, don't do the crime
Heart of mine

But I can't stop it, it keeps on growing
And just one look at her face is good enough for me

She ain't too pretty, she ain't too tall
In fact, she ain't too much of anything at all
I don't care what the people say
They're going to find out some sweet day

She is precious, she is charming
She is so innocent, it's really disarming
And just one look at her face is good enough for me

She ain't too pretty, she ain't too tall
In fact, she ain't too much of anything at all
I don't care what the people say
They're going to find out some sweet day

Nobody ever works

We hang fire, we hang fire

I'm a lazy slob, I hang fire
I hang fire, hang fire, hang
Put it on the wire, baby
I hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire, baby

I hang fire
We got nothing to eat
We go nowhere to work
Nothing to drink
We just lost our shirt
I'm on the dole, we ain't for hire
Say, What the hell? Say, What the hell?

Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire baby
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire baby

Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire baby
Yeah, take a thousand dollars
Go and have some fun
Put it all on at a hundred to one
Hang fire, I hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire baby

Hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire baby
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire baby
Put it on the wire baby

I was in your presence for an hour or so
Or was it a day? I truly don't know
Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low
By that soft and shining sea
Did you respect me for what I did
Or for what I didn't do, or for keeping it hid?
Did I lose my mind when I tried to get rid
Of everything you see?

In the summertime, oh in the summertime
In the summertime, when you were with me

I got the heart and you got the blood
We cut through iron and we cut through mud
Then came the warning that was before the flood
That set everybody free
Fools they made a mock of sin
Our loyalty they tried to win
But you were closer to me than my next of kin
When they didn't want to know or see

In the summertime, oh in the summertime
In the summertime, when you were with me

Strangers, they meddled in our affairs
Poverty and shame was theirs
But all that suffering was not to be compared
With the glory that is to be
And I'm still carrying the gift you gave
It's a part of me now, it's been cherished and saved
It'll be with me unto the grave
And then unto eternity

In the summertime, oh in the summertime
In the summertime when you were with me
