Breathe
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
16th of June, nine-oh-five, door bell rings
Man at the door says if I want to stay alive a bit longer
There’s a few things I need you to know
Three
Coming from a long line of traveling sales people on my mother’s side
I wouldn’t buy just anyone’s cockatoo
So why would I invite a complete stranger into my home?
Would you?
These days are better than that
These days are better than that
Every day I
Die again, and again I’m reborn
Every day I
Have to find the courage
To walk out into the streets
With our arms out, nobody can defeat
Neither down or out
There’s nothing you have that I need
I can breathe
Breathe, I can breathe, love
16th of June, nine-oh five Chinese stocks are going up
I’m coming down with some new Asian virus
Ju Ju man, Ju Ju man
Doc says you’re fine or dying, please
Nine-oh-nine, St. John Divine on the line
My pulse is fine
But I’m running down the road, loose electricity
And the band in my head plays a striptease
The roar that lies
On the other side of silence
The forest fire
That’s fear so deny it
Walk out into the street
With your arms out
The people we meet
Will not be knocked out, hey
There’s nothing you have that I need
I can breathe
Breathe, I can breathe, love
(Solo)
Rouse it up in the soul
We are people borne of sound
The songs are in our eyes
Gonna wear them like a crown
Wo-oh-oh-oh
Walk out into a sunburst street
Sing your heart out, sing my heart out
I found grace inside a sound
I found grace, it’s all that I found
I can breathe
Breathe, I can breathe, love
4 hearts, shining down
(Major, major love)
Yeah in…Sheffield… town… on… your… radio

No Line On The Horizon
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
I know a girl who’s like the sea
I watch her changing every day for me, oh yeah
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
One day she’s still, the next she swells
You can hear the universe in her sea shells, oh yeah
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
No line on the horizon
No line
No line on the horizon
No line
I know a girl, hole in her heart
She said infinity’s a great place to start, again
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Time is irrelevant, it’s not linear
Then she put her tongue in my ear, ooo-hoo
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
No line on the horizon
No line
No line on the horizon
No line
Oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
The songs in your head are now on my mind
You put me on pause, I’m trying to rewind
Your love and replay
Hey-hey-hey
Every night I have the same dream, I
Hatching some plot, scheming some scheme
Oh yeah
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I’m a traffic cop, Rue du Marais
The siren’s wailing but it’s me that wants to get away
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
No, no line on the horizon
No, no line
No, no line on the horizon
No, no line
(Oh)

Get On Your Boots
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
[Pre-recorded]-----
The future (repeats)
The future needs a big kiss
Let me in the sound (repeats in background)
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da*----
The future needs a big kiss
Winds blow with a twist
Never seen a moon like this
Can you see it too?
Night is falling everywhere
Rockets at the fun fair
Satan loves a bomb scare
But he won’t scare you
Get on your boots
Get on your boots, yeah
You free me from a dark dream
Candy floss, ice cream
All our kids are screaming
But the ghosts aren’t real
Here’s where we gotta be
Love and community
Laughter is eternity
If joy is real
You don’t know how beautiful
You don’t know how beautiful you are
No, you don’t know how beautiful / You don’t know, you don’t get it, do you?
You don’t know / You don’t know
How beautiful you are
That’s someone’s stuff they’re blowing up
We’re into growing up
Women of the future
Hold the big revelations
I got a submarine
You’ve got gasoline
I don’t wanna talk
About wars between the nations
Get on your boots, not right now
Get on your boots, no
Get on your boots, yeah
You don’t know how beautiful
You don’t know how beautiful you are
No, you don’t know how beautiful / You don’t know, you don’t get it, do you?
You don’t know / And you don’t know
How beautiful you are
I don’t wanna talk about wars / Get on your boots
Between the nations / Get on your boots
I don’t wanna talk about war
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Meet me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
God I’m going down
I don’t wanna drown
Meet me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, sound
In the sound, sound
Meet me in the sound
Whoo
Get on your boots
Get on your boots
Yeah-hey-hey
Get on your boots
Yeah-hey-hey
Get on your boots, yeah
Yeah-hey-hey
Get on your boots
Yeah-hey-hey
Get on your boots
Yeah-hey-hey

And ever after I haven't had a clue
Only to break rhyme
This foolishness
Could leave a heart black and blue
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Only love
Only love can leave such a mark
But only love
Only love can heal such a scar
I was born
I was born to sing for you
I didn’t have a choice
But to lift you up
And sing whatever songs you wanted me to
I give you back my voice
From the womb
My first cry it was a joyful noise
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Only love
Only love can leave such a mark
But only love
Only love can heal such a scar
Justify till we die
You and I will magnify

Beautiful Day
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
(All of a sudden I should cry)
(I’ve been feeling so…?)
(?)
(Ok)
We love you
We love…
We love…
Nothing you cannot do
Angel of the north come this way
Willy Williams born on this day
We love
Love…
We love you
We love you
?
All over Great Britain
The heart is a bloom
It shoots up through the stony ground
But there’s no room
No space to rent in this town
You’re out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic’s stuck
You’re not moving anywhere
You thought you’d found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
It’s a beautiful day
Sky falls you feel like
It’s a beautiful day
You’re on the road
And you got no destination
You’re in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if that doesn’t ring true
You’ve been all over
And it’s been all over you
It’s a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
Beautiful day
You can touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me, love
I know I’m not a hopeless case, oh
See the world in green and blue
Larry Mullen right behind you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleet clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oilfields at first light and
See the bird with the leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day
Don’t let it get away
Beautiful day
You can touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me, love
I know I’m not a hopeless case
What you don’t have you don’t need it now
What you don’t know you could feel it somehow
What you don’t have you don’t need it now
Don’t need it now
Beautiful day
Listen hard
Come on now
All across the nation
Soul nation
Turn it up
Turn your radio up
Turn it on and turn me on
Turn it on
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You have just been waiting
For this moment to arise
Blackbird fly
High

Elevation
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
Alright
Going up
Let’s try that
?
Hoo-oo, hoo-oo-oo…
High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to elevate me here
From the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips, eclipse
You elevate my
Soul, got no self-control
Digging like a mole now
Going down excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I could fly
So high, elevation
Hoo-oo…
A star you look like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you can educate my mind
Explain all these controls
Can’t sing but I got soul
The goal is elevation
A mole digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I could fly so high
Elevation
Hoo-oo, hoo-oo-oo…
Love, lift me up out of these blues
Won’t you tell me something true
I believe in you
A mole digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I could fly
So high, elevation
Hoo-oo, hoo-oo-oo…
I’m a soul
Ah
I’m… done
That was for you, Joe, and your family
?
Yes…yes
Thank you very much. Thank you for coming out with us on a beautiful summer’s day
And eh, thank you to The Hours for opening up the show
Ant Genn brought his Auntie Margaret with him. Tonight she’s 76 so Ant’s emt is in the house, so pick it up for The Hours, local boys
Also to Elbow for giving us liftoff, what a…something extraordinary there, special gifts, special spell
Now, to anyone who got their A-Level results today, listening on the radio, or here in the house, maybe you did better than your hopes, maybe you were disappointed…but take courage, because whatever way, you, I’m sure, would have done a lot better than anyone on this stage. So, and things didn’t turn out too bad. Sssss…we’re still a work in progress.

I Still Haven’t Found What I'm Looking For
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
Isn’t that right?
How many A-levels did you get?
Edge: “I didn’t finish schoolâ€
Didn’t finish school. How many A-levels did you get, Larry Mullen?
Larry: “Didn’t finish school.â€
How many A-levels did you get?
Adam: “More than you.â€
That’s hurtful. That is hurtful. But it’s true.
Come together, all you up there
We’re gonna shrink this place now
Keep the groove up, keep the, keep the music up, with this tempo
I have climbed the highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Alright
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the feeling in her fingertips
Burning like a fire
I was burning inside her
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
Help us up now
Look around, look around
Look around
Ah it’s alright
Ah, it’s alright
I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
But yes, I'm still running
You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
You carried the cross of my shame
You took the blame
You know I believe it
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I still haven't found what I'm looking for
Movin’ on up, yeah
Out of the darkness
Our love shines on, our love shines on
Our love shines on
Movin’ on up, yeah
Out of the darkness
Our love shines on, our love shines on
Our love shines on

Stuck In A Moment
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
Alright. Now here The Edge has a complex named after him. From the Sheffield University, I don’t know if you know this. They have…it’s called The Edge…you can drink there, you can…you can…you can sleep on Edge…you can, it’s very, I think it’s great, that’s very, that’s very…thank-you is what Edge wants to say for naming that building after him.
Now, it’s a very special night for us to be in Sheffield because the man who designed all this, our show designer, this is his town, Willy Williams is his name and he’s been working with us for, since he was 12…so 1982 we hooked up with Willy Williams, and it is his birthday…and I would ask his hometown to sing him happy birthday
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday Willy Williams
Happy Birthday to you
There he is over there I’m not I’m not shaking him. Up on the 2nd tier there, um
Alright Edge what you want to play?
Thank you Willy.
Thank you… is not enough of a word
I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company
I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
I will not forsake the colors that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
Did they leave you with nothing?
I’m still enchanted by a light you brought to me
I still listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see
And you are such a fool
If you worry like you do, oh-oh
I know it's tough and you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now, my, oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
Oh Lord, look at you now
Stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all, oh-oh
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along that stony pass
And if the night runs over / And if the night runs over
And if the days won't last / And if the days won’t last
And if your way should falter
Along that stony pass
It's just a moment
It's just a moment
It's just a moment
This time shall pass

If you listen now you might hear some birds we recorded in Fez, Morocco. There they are.
This is Unknown Caller
Sunshine, sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I was lost between the midnight and the dawning
In a place of no consequence or company
3:33 when the numbers fell off the clock face
Speed dialing with no signal at all
Go, shout it out, rise up
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Escape yourself and gravity
Hear me, cease to speak that I may speak
Shush now
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Force quit and move to trash
I was right there at the top of the bottom
On the edge of the known universe where I wanted to be
I had driven to the scene of the accident
And I sat there waiting for me
Restart and re-boot yourself
You're free to go
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Shout for joy if you get the chance
Password, you, enter here, right now
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You know your name so punch it in
Hear me, cease to speak that I may speak
Shush now
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Don't move or say a thing
Terry-world, on the Hammond
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

The Unforgettable Fire
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
Ice, your only rivers run cold
These city lights, they shine as silver and gold
Dug from the night, your eyes as black as coal
Walk on by, walk on through
Walk till you run and don't look back for here I am
Carnival, the wheels fly and the colors spin
Through alcohol, red wine that punctures the skin
Face to face, in a dry and waterless place
Walk on by, walk on through
So sad to besiege your love so head on
Stay, stay now
Stay now, stay love now
Stay, stay tonight in a lie
Don’t push me too far
Don’t push me too far
Tonight
Par-ee
Love poem
Par-ee
To go alone
And if the mountains should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear, no not I
Stay, stay la-la
Stay ?
Stay ?
Stay in this time
Stay tonight in a lie
Don’t push me too far
Don’t push me too far
Tonight
Tonight, tonight

City Of Blinding Lights
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
Blessings
If we can only find
City Of Blinding Lights
The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you grow
I knew much more then
Than I do now
Neon heart, day-glow eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They’re advertising in the skies
For people like us
And I miss you when you’re not around
I. I’m getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Don’t look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs, purple irises
The camera can’t see
I’ve seen you walk unafraid
I’ve seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?
And I miss you when you’re not around
I, I’m getting ready to leave the ground
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
What time is it in the world?
Time…
Time…
Time, time, time
What time is it?
Time, don’t leave me as I am
Time won’t take the boy out of this man
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
The more you feel the less you fear
Some pray for, others steal
Blessings not just for the ones who kneel
Luckily
Blessings
Not just for the ones who kneel
Luckily
Luckily

Vertigo
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
Uno, dos, tres, catorce
Lights go down it’s dark
The jungle is your head
Can’t rule your heart
A feeling so much stronger than
A thought your eyes are wide and
Though your soul, it can’t be bought
Your mind can wander
Hello, hello
Hola
We’re at a place called Vertigo
Dond' esta
It's everything I wish I didn't know
You give me something I can feel
Feel
The night is full of holes
As bullets rip the sky
Of ink with soul
They sparkle as the boys play rock and roll
They know that they can't dance
At least they know
I can't stand the beats
I'm asking for the check
Girl with crimson nails
Has Jesus 'round her neck
Swinging to the music
Swinging to the music
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Hello, hello
Hola
We’re at a place called Vertigo
Dond' esta
It's everything I wish I didn't know
You, give me something, I can feel
Feel
Ah but so should Hal (I’m in social hell)?
Give him a holder
?
And now some sugar on me
Pour some sugar on me
All of this, all of this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours
Just give me what I want
And no one gets hurt
Hello, hello
Hola
We’re at a place called Vertigo
Dond' esta
Lights go down and all I know
Is that you give me something
I can feel your love teaching me how, how
Your love is teaching me how, how
How to kneel
Kneel
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Pour some sugar on me
Uh-huh-huh-huh

I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I don’t wanna go to war
Hey! Pick it up now, huh
Come on all ye people
Joyful and triumphant
Come on all ye people
Jup it up now
Shake up your big fat ass, c’mon
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I don’t wanna go to war
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
She’s a rainbow and she loves the peaceful life
Knows I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight
There’s a part of me in the chaos that’s quiet
And there’s a part of you that wants me to, riot!
Everybody needs to cry or needs to spit
Every sweet tooth needs just a little hit
Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot
How can you stand next to the truth and not see it
It’s not a hill, it’s a mountain
As you start out the climb
Listen for me, I’ll be shouting
We’re gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight
I know I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight
Everybody needs someone maybe I should call
Pity the nation that won’t listen to you boys and girls
Cos the sweetest melody is the one we haven’t heard
Is it true that perfect love drives out all fear?
The right to be ridiculous is something I hold dear
Ah, but a change of heart comes slow
It’s not a hill, it’s a mountain
As you start out the climb
Listen for me, I’ll be shouting
We’re gonna make it all the way to the light
But I now I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight
I now I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight
Ah-hah
Tonight
Sheffield, can you sing for your sanity?
Let them hear you around the world
I know I’ll go crazy
I know I’ll go crazy
I know I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy
Know I’ll go crazy
Know I’ll go crazy
Know I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy
Know I’ll go crazy
Know I’ll go crazy
Know I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy
Don’t go crazy tonight
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
When 2 tribes go to war, war is all you can score
When 2 tribes go to war, war is all
War is all…can…score
It’s not a hill, it’s a mountain
As you start out the climb
It’s not a hill, it’s a mountain
As you start out the climb
Oh-oh-oh
Change of heart
Change of heart comes slow
Change of heart

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
Oh-oh-oh
I can’t believe the news today
I can’t close my eyes, make it go away
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
Tonight, we can be as one
Tonight
Broken bottles under children’s feet
And bodies strewn across a dead end street
I won’t heed the battle call
Puts my back up, my back up against a wall
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday / Sunday bloody Sunday
Alright
And this battle’s yet begun
There’s many lost, but tell me, who has won?
Trenches dug within our hearts
Mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
Tonight, we can be as one
Tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight / Tonight
Tonight, tonight… / Tonight
Oliver’s army is here... to stay
Oliver’s army is on their way
And I’d rather be anywhere else than here, but here
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your bloodstained eyes / Sunday bloody Sunday
Wipe your tears away / Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday / Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday / Sunday bloody Sunday
You're not...??
With a beating in your heart
With a beating in the drum
With a beating in his soul
In the fife and the drum
When a man’s gonna fight your fight
So, really didn’t laugh so strong
Right, not that heart
Didn’t you, with a beating in his soul
With his feet, right, left, right (fight?)
Love(Live) among among among among among the man among the man the woman / Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Ha-ah-ah-ah

Pride
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
One man comes in the name of love
One man he come and go
One man comes he to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed up on a empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
Love, love, love
Early evening, April four
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

MLK
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
Right now, our heart is with a woman, who, like Martin Luther King, who, like Nelson Mandela, who, like the heroes on the streets of Iran, a woman fighting for freedom and equality, a woman who’s spent much of the last 20 years under house arrest in her native Burma, her only crime is that were she free to face an election she would win that election. Her name is Aung San Suu Kyi. And from Sheffield right across the internet where this concert is going right now, we’re gonna sing Aung San Suu Kyi a little Irish lullaby.
Sleep, sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realized
If the thundercloud passes rain
So let it rain
Let it rain
Rain down on she

Walk On

Wo-ho-ho-oh-oh-oh-oh
Wo-ho-ho-oh-oh-oh-oh
If you have a picture, you have her picture take it out
If you brought a mask, put it on
Let her face be our face. Tonight
Aung San Suu Kyi, with love from Sheffield
Look at you, c’mon
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
Oh-oh-oh
Walk on, walk on
What you got they cannot steal it
No, they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away, a singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Walk on, walk on
What you've got they can't deny it
No they can’t even buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
But I know it aches
Your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on
Volunteers, take your places now
Come and join us here
Home, hard to know what it is if you've never had one
Home, I can't say where it is but I know I'm going
Home, that’s where the hurt is
Yeah
Well I know it aches, your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Lift her up
Lift her up
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you steal
All that you can
Leave behind
Leave it behind
Gonna leave it behind
Oh
Walk on
Walk on
Walk on
Walk on
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
Alone
With love in your heart

Where The Streets Have No Name
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
No you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk, you’ll never walk
Alone, alone
Never walk
Alone
Never walk ?
(Bless her)
I wanna run, I wanna hide
I wanna tear down the walls that hold me tonight
I wanna reach out and touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I wanna feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear without a trace
Wantin’ the sky hold back the hurricane
Where the streets have no name (don’t be long)
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, go there with you
It's all we do
The city’s a flood, our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind, trampled in dust
Show you a place, it’s high, high
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We’re still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, go there with you
It's all I do
Willy Williams we truly love you
Love, love, love, only love
Love, love, love, only love
Gloria
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, go there with you
It's all we do
Oh, love
Eagle call to you
Oh…
Oh…love
Give it up
Willy Williams, back in Sheffield with his four mates
And things are going off really nice, thank you

Desmond Tutu Speech (Pre-recorded)
The same people who marched for civil rights in the United States are the same people who protested Apartheid in South Africa; who are the same people who worked for peace in Ireland, and are the same people who fought against debts slavery in the Jubilee Year 2000, who are the same beautiful people that I see when I look around this place tonight in 360 degrees.
We are those people. We are the same person. Because our voices were heard, millions more of our brothers and sisters are alive, thanks to the miracle aids drugs and malaria drugs. Ah, they will be doctors, they will be nurses, they will be scientists, who will live to solve great problems.
Yes, there are many obstacles. Of course, there are always roadblocks in the way of justice, but God will put a wind at our back and a rising road ahead, if we work with each other as one…one…

One
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
Is it getting better
Do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say, one love, one life
When it's one need in the night
One love, you get to share it
It leaves you darling if you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Is it too late, tonight
To drag the dirt out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your bed
Did I ask too much, more than a lot
You gave me nothing now it's all I got
We're one, but we're not the same
Yeah, we hurt each other, then we do it again
You say, love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law
You ask me to enter then you make me crawl
I can't be holding on to what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love, one blood
One life you get to do what you should
One life with each other
With my sister, and my brother
One life, we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One…
Ooo…
Ooo…
Ooo…
Ooo…

Mysterious Ways
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
Ok…one more…maybe many more
Then what, I see, oh well
Hey
Ok
Gotta get it on
Get up on now
John take a walk with your sister the moon
Let a pale light in to fill up your room
You've been living underground, eating from a can
You've been running away from what you don't understand., love
She's slippy, you’re sliding down
Is she gonna be there when ya hit the ground, oh
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways, yeah-yeah
John take a dive with your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things you can't explain
To touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal
If you wanna kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel
On your knees, boy
She's the wave that turned the tide
She sees the man inside the child
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Oh love, oh my love / It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
Lift my days, light up my nights, love
Shave my head
Infect me
Lights on, Willy
On the stands
On the Wiley family(?)
One day you'll look back, and you'll see
Where you were held
How by this love
While you could stand there
And not move on this moment
Follow this feeling
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Yeah-yeah love
Uh-huh, uh-huh-love
(This is my heart)
Move me spirit need us
Move me spirit make us
Move me spirit need us
Move with it
She moves with it
She moves with it
Lift my days, light up my nights
Love, oh it’s fine, love
Thank you, good night
Thank you
Thank you so much

Ultraviolet
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England

Sometimes I feel like I don't know
Sometimes I feel like checking out
I wanna get it wrong
Can't always be strong
And love it won't be long
Oh sugar, don't you cry
Dear child, wipe the tears from your eye
You know I need you to be strong
And the day is dark as the night is long
I feel like trash, you make me feel clean
I'm in the black, can't see or be seen
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
You bury your treasure, where it cannot be found
But your love is like a secret, it gets passed around
There is a silence that comes to a house, where no one can sleep
I know that the price is high, don’t cry when it’s ? than cheap
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Ultraviolet love
Ultraviolet love
Ultraviolet love
Ultraviolet love
I remember when we could sleep on stones
Now we lie together in whispers and moans
When I was all messed up, and I had opera in my head
Your love was the light bulb swinging over my bed
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Ultraviolet love
Ultraviolet love
Ultraviolet love
Ultraviolet love
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Baby, baby, baby, light my way

With Or Without You
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I’ll wait for you
Sleight of hand and a twist of fate
And on a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I’ll wait without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reached the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live with or without you
Yeah you
And you give yourself away
You give yourself away
And you give, you give
You give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away
You give yourself away
And you give, you give
You give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
Oh-oh-oh-oh…
With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live, I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you
Woo…
Good night, ?
Thank you
To the U2 crew
And these ? …
That work so hard to put this show up
Welcome
Your birthday too
Larry, ?, good night
Sing it one more time
Oh-oh-oh-oh…
Turn on your radio

Moment Of Surrender
Don Valley Stadium
Sheffield, England
2009-08-20
(You’re very thoughtful) for coming out with us
Thank you to everyone in the Red Zones for paying for aids drugs for people who can’t afford them in faraway places. Thanks to everyone who signed up for the One campaign. We’re going to show you pictures in a moment.
Great Britain is made great by the way you people treat the world’s poor. Really respect-- you’re a generous country, you’re an extraordinary people. Thank you very much. Stick with it.
You could take out your phones if you want to send us a message, or, we could just turn this place into the Milky Way. That would be nice.
You can turn off these lights, Willy
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Tied myself with wire
To let the horses run free
Playing with fire
Till the fire played with me, oh
The stone was semi-precious
We were barely conscious
Two souls too cool to be
In the realm of certainty
Even on our wedding day
We set ourselves on fire
Oh God, do not deny her
It's not if I believe in love
But if love believes in me
Believe in me
At the moment of surrender
I folded to my knees
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me
I've been in every black hole
At the altar of the dark star
My body's now a begging bowl
It’s begging to get back, it’s begging to get back
To my heart
To the rhythm of my soul
To the rhythm of my unconsciousness
To the rhythm that yearns
To be released from control
I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine
I could see in the reflection
A face staring back at me
At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me, oh my love
Surrender
I was speeding on the subway
Through the stations of the cross
Every eye looking every other way
Counting down till the pain would stop
At the moment of surrender
Of vision of over visibility
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Good night, God bless you
Thanks for giving us a great life
Thank you
Thanks for sticking with us
