God Part II
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 27, 1989
Don't believe the devil
I don't believe his book
But the truth is not the same
Without the lies he made up
Don't believe in excess
Success is to give
Don't believe in riches
But you should see where I live
I…I believe in love, yeah
Don't believe in forced entry
I don't believe in rape
But every time she passes by
A wild thought escapes
Don't believe in death row
Skid row or the gangs
Don't believe an Uzi
Just went off in my hand
I, still I believe in love
Love
Yeah c’mon, speed up
Watch it, yeah
(She’s a mullet)?
Don’t believe in cocaine
I got a speedball in my head
I could cut and crack you open
Did you hear what I said?
I don't believe them when they tell me
There ain't no cure
The rich stay healthy and
The sick stay poor
Still I, I believe in love
Love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love
Yeah, alright
?...love
I don't believe in Goldman
His type like a curse
Instant Karma's gonna get him
If I don't get him first
I don't believe that rock'n'roll
Can really change the world
As it spins in revolution
Spiral and turns
Still I, yeah I believe in love, love
Don't believe in the '60s
Golden age of pop
You glorify the past
The future dries up
Singer on the radio
Late last night
Says he's gonna kick the darkness
Till it bleeds daylight
I…y’know I believe in love
Aren’t I just swell, go
Ooo love, love, love
Love, love, love
(A warm hand to my heart)
I…I believe in…The Edge
Stop it!

Desire
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 27, 1989
Greed
Greed is good
Yeah…move
Lover, I'm off the streets
I’m gonna go where bright lights, big city meet
With a red guitar, sometimes vanilla
Desire
She is a candle burning in my room
I'm like a needle, needle and spoon
Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon yo, everybody got one
And the fever is getting higher
Desire
Desire
Burning
Guitar
Fever, fever
When I’m beside her
Desire
Desire
Burning up
Burning
I’m burning baby
Burn in hell
Burn in hell
I’m gonna go out, not
1960 not ok
All across the USA
Another year with nothing to do
Another year with me and you
79…89…69…make a dime
She’s the dollars, she’s my protection
Ah she is a promise in the year of election
Oh sister, I can’t let you go
Like a preacher stealing hearts at a traveling show
For love or money
More money
Mo money mo money money money
Money mo money
And the fever getting higher
Desire
Desire
Desire
Desire
Oh yeah, move it

All Along The Watchtower
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 27, 1989
Rock ‘n’ roll, that’s all folks
There must be some way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion here
I can't get no relief
Businessmen they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None of them know along the line
What any of this is worth
No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many among us here
Who think that life is but a joke
You and I, we've been through that
And that is not our fate
Let us not talk falsely now
The hour is getting late, late, yeah
Before the moment you touched my hand
That perfect moment when time just slips away
You are like a hurricane
There’s hope in your hand
And I’m getting blown away
Across the sea to take you home
All along the watchtower
The princes kept the view
While the horseman came and went
And the barefoot servants, too
Outside in the distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders approaching
And the wind begins to howl…
Oh-ah-uh-ah-ha
Uh-huh, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Ooo-uh-uh, sing it

All I Want Is You / Bad
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 27, 1989
You say you want a diamond on a ring of gold
You say you want your story to remain untold
All the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate
(Well that’s right tonight, we’ll tell them)
If I could throw this lifeless
Lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the light
Through the day
If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I’d lead your heart astray
To see you break, break away
Into the light
Through the rain
Into the half light
Through the… flame
(Baby sing)
Ooh-ooh…
Ooh-ooh…
To let it go, uh-huh
And so fade away-ha
Let it go, uh-huh
And so fade away-ah-ha
I’m wide awake, yeah
I’m wide awake, yeah
Wide awake…yeah
I’m not sleeping, oh no
I’m not sleeping
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
If they should ask
Well maybe they’d
Tell me what I should say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in bloodshot eyes
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Let it go
This desperation
Separation
In temptation
Isolation
Revelation
Let it go, uh-huh
And so fade away, hah
Let it go, uh-huh
And so fade… fade
Fade away
Fade away
Not fade away
No, no
Not fade away
Ooh-ooh
All my fears are dead
For my love
Give it up people
I feel love
Can I feel love
Give up Jezebel
Give me love
Give it up
And I want it
And I want it
Give me love
Love, love, love
Love, love
I’m wide awake
I’m wide awake
Wide awake
I’m not sleeping, oh no
I’m not sleeping
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Let it go, uh-huh
And so…
Wanna dance with you
Wanna dance with you
I just wanna dance with you
That’s all…folks

Van Diemen’s Land
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 27, 1989
Sung by The Edge
Hold me now, oh hold me now
Till this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's Land
It's a bitter pill I swallow here
To be rent from one so dear
We fought for justice and not for gain
But the magistrate sent me away
Now kings will rule and the poor will toil
And tear their hands as they tear the soil
But the day will come in the dawning age
When an honest man sees an honest wage
Hold me now, oh hold me now
Till this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's Land
For to face Van Diemen’s Land
Thank you
