One (Live From Berlin, Nov.13, 2018) (Digital U2.com


Now you know these are strange times
But we don't agonize, we organize
Isn't that right?
Turns out sticking together is the thing
Is that not right Edge, is that not right Larry, is that not right Adam?
I told you the band couldn't see eye to eye when we were recording
Achtung Baby In Hansa Studios here in 1990
We sorta run out of love with the U2 project
It can happen and Berlin was a, a big turn around for us
Because we wrote a song that we really really really
Needed to hear
And the song is called. “One'

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, we get to share it
It leaves you baby, 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

Well it's too late tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One...love
(Turn off the lights, Rocky)

Have you come here for forgiveness
(Stick with us)
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've 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 a higher law
You ask me to enter, but then you made 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 gotta do what you should
One life with each other
Sisters, brothers

One life but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One

No them, there's only us
No them, there's only us
No them, there's only us, only us now

Ooo...
Ooo...

This should precede COBL. And still can't get a couple names.


New Year's Day (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)

Blessed is Berlin
Gesegnet ist Berlin
A great European city
The city of Bertolt Brecht, Max Ernst, Marlene Dietrich
Wim (?) Wenders, (?)
Ha, ha
Connie (?)

All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I wanna be with you be with you
Night and day
Nothing changes New Year's Day
On New Year’s Day

I will be with you again / I…I
I will be with you again / I…I

Under a blue and starry sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined not like a chosen few
The newspapers says it’s true
It's true, it's true
People break through
Though torn in two, we can be one

I, I will begin again / I…I
I, I will begin again / I…I

Oh maybe the time is right
Oh...maybe tonight

I will be with you again / I…I
I will be with you again / I…I
With you again

City of Blinding Lights (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)

C'mon
Oh yeah
City of Blinding Lights, right now, at this time in the world, Berlin

The more you know 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’m, I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Ooo…ooo...
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
Ooo…ooo...
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Do it, c'mon now

Time
Time
Time
Time

Time won’t leave me as I am
Time won’t take the boy out of this man

Oh you look so beautiful
Oh you look so beautiful
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

The more you know the less you feel
Some pray for, others steal
Blessings not just for the ones who kneel
Luckily

It's Berlin, not Washington, not London
It's Berlin, city of blinding lights
Hold on to your light, you have it, we love you
Whatever your difficulties you're where it's at, right now
And we give thanks, danke, danke schön, danke wurden, danke

Get Out of Your Own Way (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)

Get out of your own way
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Love hurts, now you’re the girl who's left with no words
Heart's a balloon but then it bursts
Doesn’t take a canon just a pin
Your skin’s no covering
And resistance, love has got to fight for its existence
The enemy has armies of assistants
The amorous, the glamorous
A kiss, a fist
Listen to this, oh

Get out of your own way
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Get out of your own way
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

I can sing it to you all night all night / Oh-oh-oh
If I could I’d make it alright alright / Oh-oh-oh
Nothing‘s stopping you except what’s inside / Oh-oh-oh
I can help you but it’s your fight

Fight back, don’t take it lying down you’ve got to bite back
The face of liberty's starting to crack
She had a plan but then she took a smack in the mouth
And it all went south like
Freedom, the slaves are looking for someone to lead them
Master’s looking for someone to need him
The promised land is there for those who need it most and Lincoln’s ghost said

Get out of your own way
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Get out of your own way
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

I can sing it to you all night all night / Oh-oh-oh
If I could I’d make it all right all right / Oh-oh-oh
Nothing‘s stopping you except what’s inside / Oh-oh-oh
I can help you but it’s your fight 

Get out of your own way
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Get out of your own way
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
C'mon, C'mon

Get out of your own way / Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Get out of your own way / Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Get out of your own way

Blessed is Berlin for it rose from the smoke and ashes
Blessed are the Berliners 'cause they crept from the ruins
And just got on with their day
Blessed are the white taxis and the women who drive them
Blessed are the Weiss beer makers and the Weiss beer drinkers
Blessed are the birds in the zoo and the birds in the  Berghain
And blessed is the blue above the Europe we share
And may those yellow stars never fall upon our heads

Pride (In the Name of Love) (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)


One man come in the name of love
One man he come and go
One woman comes she to justify
One woman 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 child caught on a barbed wire fence
One mother she resist
One boy washed up on an empty beach
One boy never will be kissed

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

Love

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Dr. King
For Dr. King's dream
Oh-oh-oh-oh
A dream big enough to fit the whole world

50 years ago, 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…

In the name of love…?

Summer Of Love (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)


The winter doesn’t want you, it haunts you
Summer serenading’s a long way from this frozen place, your face
Our teacher, our preacher, it’s nature
And like flowers growing in a bomb crater
From nothing, a rose, it grows

I’ve been thinking ‘bout the West Coast
Not the one that everyone knows
We’re sick of living in the shadows
We’ve one more chance before the light goes
For a summer of love (summer of love)
Summer of love
Summer of love (summer of love)
Summer of love

Freezing, we’re leaving, believing
That all we need is ahead of us somewhere
In a summer to come
So we run

I’ve been thinking ‘bout the West Coast
Not the one that everyone knows
We’re sick of living in the shadows
We’ve one more chance before the light goes
For a summer of love (summer of love)
Summer of love
Summer of love (summer of love)
Summer of love
Oh, and when all is lost
When all is lost we find out what remains
Oh the same oceans crossed
For some it’s pleasure, for some it’s pain

I’ve been thinking ‘bout the West coast
Not the one that everyone knows
In the rubble of Aleppo
Flowers blooming in the shadows
Of the summer of love
Summer of love
Summer of love, love…

You're The Best Thing About Me (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)

Hello, darling
Hello, it's me again
I'm calling from the last night of the tour
It's amazing, yeah, people just came back
From all over the world they just came back
Crazy U2 fans

Sorry to be talking about our love in front of other people, you know
But I guess that's what happens when you fall in love with a showman
Funny, today, in the room in the hotel
I looked at my face in the mirror and I saw his face
I saw my father's face...I kinda got a fright
When I realized that he was a showman, too
And I'd watched him putting on and off his makeup as a child
And I know he loved you
And now I finally know and understand that he loved me
Thanks for sticking with me
I love you


When you look so good
The pain in your face doesn’t show
When you look so good
Baby you don’t even know

When the world is ours
But the world is not your kind of thing
Full of shooting stars
Brighter as they’re vanishing

Oh you’ve seen enough
To know it’s children who teach
You’re still free enough
To wake up on a bed or a beach

You’re the best thing about me
The best thing ever happened a boy
You’re the best thing about me
I’m the kind of trouble that you enjoy

You’re the best thing about me
The best thing easy to destroy
You’re the best thing about me
Best thing

I've been crying out
How bad can a good time be
Shooting off my mouth
That’s another great thing about me

I have everything
But I feel like nothing at all
There’s no risky thing
For a man who’s determined to fall

Sing with us

You’re the best thing about me
The best thing ever happened a boy
You’re the best thing about me
I’m the kind of trouble that you enjoy

You’re the best thing about me
The best thing easy to destroy
If you’re the best thing about me
Why am I?
Why am I walking away? Walking away
Why am I walking away? Oh

I can see it all so clearly
I can see what you can’t see
I can see you love her loudly
When she needs you quietly

You’re the best thing about me
The best thing easy to destroy
If you’re the best thing about me
Why am I?
Why am I walking away? Walking away
Why am I walking away?

Why are you walking away?
Adam Clayton, first manager of U2
First to believe we could be here tonight
That's Larry Mullen Junior right there
He started this band, blame him
Never played better

Acrobat (Live from Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)

Don't believe what you hear
Don't believe what you see...ah

Don’t believe what you hear
Don’t believe what you see
If you just close your eyes
You can feel the enemy

When I first met you girl
You had fire in your soul
What happened to your face
Of melting snow
Now it looks like this

You can swallow
You can spit
You can throw it up
Or choke on it
And you can dream
So dream out loud
You know that your time is coming ‘round
Don’t let the bastards grind you down
Oh, oh

No, nothing makes sense
Nothing seems to fit
I know you’d hit out
If you only knew who to hit

I’d join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah, I’d break bread and wine
If there was a church I could receive in
‘Cause I need it now

To take the cup
Fill it up
Drink it slow
Can’t let you go
I must be an acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
But don’t let the bastards grind you down

Wo-wo, baby
What are we going to do now it’s all been said
No new ideas in the house and every book has been read

And I must be an acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
You can find
Your own way out
And you can build
I can will
And you can call
I can’t wait until
And you can stash
And you can seize
But in dreams begin
Responsibilities
And I can love
I can love
I know that our time is coming  ‘round
Don’t let the bastards grind you down
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Even Better Than The Real Thing (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2.com)

“You're Paul from number 10. “
And you go, what? Paul? Paul is dead. I don't know who you're talking about.
I'm fuckin' Bono. Sir fuckin' Bono. The Edge, Larry, Lord Adam Clayton.
And we're the greatest rock 'n' roll band on the north side of Dublin.
Yeah, oh yeah


Give me one more chance
And you’ll be satisfied
Give me two more chances
You won’t be denied

Well my heart is where it’s always been
My head is somewhere in between
Give me one more chance
Let me be your lover tonight

You’re the real thing
Yeah, the real thing
You’re the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Child

Give me one last chance
And I’m gonna make you sing
Give me half a chance
To ride on the waves that you bring

Well you’re honey child to a swarm of bees
Gonna blow right through you like a breeze
Give me one last dance
We’ll slide down the surface of things

You’re the real thing
Yeah, the real thing
You’re the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Child

Greatest sound in the world, still those voices in your head
Telling you you're nothing, telling you you're no one
Then you look around and you see Adam Clayton
Look at him
You see The Edge and he's someone
And you feel Larry Mullen Junior and you know
The truth is not far from here
But while we wait for it to arrive
Might we agree on our drug of choice
Alcohol? Chemicals? Has been
The Holy Spirit? I hope so
But tonight, for sure it is you, it is you

You take us higher
You take us higher
You take us higher
You take us higher

Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Child

All of this can be yours

Vertigo (Live From Berlin, Nov. 13, 2018) (Digital U2,com)


Oh yeah
Anyone here ready to walk some Spanish down the hall?
Wanna walk some Spanish down the hall?
Wanna walk some Spanish down the hall?

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
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 gold
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

Hello, hello
Hola
At a place called Vertigo
Dond' esta
It's everything I wish I didn't know
Except you, give me something I can feel

Shark baited
Miles of fun
Well this man isn't mad at all

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
At a place called Vertigo
Dond' esta
Lights go down and all I know
You give me something
I can feel your love teaching me how
Your love is teaching me how...
How to kneel, uh
How to kneel

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Jean Genie lives on his back
Jean Genie don't look back
Outrageous screams and she bawls
Jean genie let yourself go...home

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

All of this can be yours
