God Part II
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 26, 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, still I, believe in love

Don't believe in forced entry
Don't believe in rape
But every time she passes by
Wild thoughts escape

Don't believe in death row
Skid row or the gangs
Don't believe in a Uzi
Just went off in my hands
I… I... believe in love
Love

(Yeah come on)
(Pick it up)
(All right now)
(That’s right)
(Pick it up)

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?

Don't believe them when they tell me
There ain't no cure
The rich stay healthy
But the sick stay poor

Still I… I… believe in love
Love

Love, love, love, love…
Feel love, feel love
True love

Hoo
What kind of love

Don't believe in Goldman
His type like a curse
Instant karma's gonna get ‘em
If I don't get ‘em first

I don't believe in rock 'n' roll
Can really change the world
As it spins in revolution
Spiral and turns
Still I… I believe in love
Love

Don't believe in the '60s
Golden age of pop
You glorify the past
Future dries up

Heard a singer on the radio
Late last night
He's gonna kick the darkness
Till it bleeds daylight
I… I believe in love
Love

Love, love, love, love
Love, love
Yeah

Still I…I believe in love
Edge
Stop it

Desire
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 26, 1989

Oh yeah
One, two, three, four

Lover, I'm off the streets
Gonna go where bright lights, big city meet
With a red guitar on fire
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
Guitar

And the fever when I’m beside her
Desire
Desire
Burning
I’m burning lady, yeah

She’s the dollars, she’s my protection
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
Gimme gimme money
Mo money, mo money, money
Mo money, mo money
And the fever is getting higher

Desire
Desire
Desire
Desire

Oh yeah

(Oh yeah)

All Along The Watchtower
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 26, 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 don’t even get the joke

You and I been through that
And that is not our fate
Let us not talk falsely now
The hour is getting late, late, yeah

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While the horsemen 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…

Woh-oh-oh-ha-ha
Uh-huh, alright
I go in circles, alright
Uh-uh-uh-uh

[slaneman]

All I Want Is You
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 26, 1989

You say you want
Diamonds 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

You say you'll give me
A highway with no one on it
Your treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in this land

You say you'll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbor in the tempest

All the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

Get that feeling
Everything’s gonna be alright
All I’m asking
Is get that feeling tonight

When I get that feeling
I want sexual healing
When I get that feeling
I want sexual healing

You say you want
Your love to work out right
To last with me through the night
I’m too scared to turn out the light

All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave, ah-ha
When all I want, when all I want is you

All I want is you-hoo
All I want is you-hoo
All I want is you-hoo
All I want is you
All I want is you

Can I steal your heart
For the second chance
See the rain in mine
Do you feel the love
Do you see love
Yeah-hey, yeah-hey
I love you

I love you baby
Feel it sweetheart
Can I please, baby

All I want is you-hoo
All I want is you-hoo
All I want is (you-hoo)
All I want is (you-hoo)
All I want is (you-hoo)
All I want is (you-hoo)
All I want is…you
All I want is (you-hoo)
All I want is (you-hoo)
All I want is (you-hoo)
All I want is (you-hoo)

Where The Streets Have No Name
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 26, 1989

His voice to me was like a stream
Scarce heard; nor word from word could I divide
The whole body of the man did seem
Like one whom I have met in a dream
Sam Beckett dreamt of other roads
Sam Beckett dreamt of other lands
Of another home, of another home
Where the streets have no name
Take me
Take me

I wanna run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls that hold me inside
I wanna reach out and touch the flame, yeah
Where the streets have no name, oh-oh

I wanna feel the sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear without a trace
I wanna take shelter from the poison rain
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, I go there with you
It's all I can do

The city’s a flood and our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind, trampled in dust
I'll show you a place high on a desert plain
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, I go there with you
It's all I can do
I can do it
Uh… uh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Help me sing
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
It’s hard

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, I go there with you
It’s all I can do

It’s all I know how to do
Yeah, ah-ha-ha
I wanna go there with you

I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 26, 1989


Hello, how are you out there? Alright?

A. J. Rankin, let me tell ya

I’d like to tell ya, I’d like to tell you the real reason why we’re playing the Point Depot here
Well, we’re not playing here because we want to, ah,
Send it via satellite to, ah, the rest of the world
We’re not here, on television or radio really that’s not why we’re here
We’re not here to make a pile of dough or anything, really
The real reason is something I, I got to, ah, explain to ya's
We’ve been playing for 10 years in these big places… and we wanted to Play a small place
It’s not really that complicated, is it, really?

I have climbed the highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
It’s nice to be home

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It was burning like fire
It was burning desire

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, yeah

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

Amen

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
But, yes, I'm still running
(Oh God help me)

You broke the bonds and you loosed the chain
Carried the cross, yeah, of my shame
Of my shame
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
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven't found what I’m looking for

I have climbed the highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found

(Ooo, God livin') ?

Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realized
If the thundercloud passes rain
So let it rain, rain down on he

Mmm…
So let it be
Ah-hah-ah
So let it …
For Dr King, thank you

One Tree Hill
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 26, 1989

We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
As the day begs the night for mercy love
A sun so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars
Carved in stone on the face of earth
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes

We run like a river to the sea
We run like a river to the sea

And in our world a heart of darkness
A fire zone, where poets speak their heart
Then bleed for it
Jara sang his song a weapon
In the hands of love
You know his blood still cries from the ground

It runs like a river to the sea
It runs like a river to the sea
Yes it runs, love

But I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts
Bullets they rape the night of its merciful
I'll see you again as the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill

We run like a river to the sea
We run like a river to the sea

And when it's raining, raining hard
That's when the rain will break my heart
Ya-ya-da-da, ya-ya-ya

With paper love
Your love isn’t insane... no
Poetry love will remain
With a paper heart
Poor heart
Call today
Call today
Call tonight
Call somebody
Call somebody
Call somebody
Call somebody, love
Call somebody
Call to feel the love
Call somebody
Love will feel better
Love…like a sea

Oh great ocean, oh great sea, yeah
Run to the ocean, run to the sea

Thank you very much

Van Diemen’s Land
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 26, 1989

Edge is gonna sing for you

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

[slaneman]

Bullet The Blue Sky
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 26, 1989

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
I see ‘em driving nails into the souls in the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
I see the face of fear running scared in the valley below

Sky  / Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Sky / Oh-oh-oh-oh
Bullet the blue sky / Sky
Bullet the blue sky / Sky
Bullet the blue / Sky
Bullet the blue / Sky

In a locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel, the angel was overcome
Ya plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire
I see them burning crosses, see the flames higher and higher

Sky / Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Sky / Oh-oh-oh-oh
Bullet the blue sky / Sky
Bullet the blue sky / Sky
Bullet the blue / Sky
Bullet the blue / Sky
Oh yeah

So this guy comes up to me
His face red like a rose on a thornbush
Like all the colors of a royal flush
And he’s peeling off those dollar bills
Slapping them down…
One hundred…two hundred…

I can see those fighter planes
I can see those fighter planes

Across the mud huts where the children sleep
Through the alleys and the quiet city streets
We take the staircase to the first floor
We turn the key and unlock the door

A man breathes into a saxophone
Through the walls we hear the city groan
Outside it’s America
Where everybody live in America

We run
And we run
Into the arms…

[slaneman]

Running To Stand Still
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 26, 1989

And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was lying still
Said I, I’ve got to do something about where I’m going
Step on a steam train, step out of the driving rain
Maybe, run from the darkness in the night

Singing ha, ha la la la de day
Ha la la la de day, (ha la la de day)

Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth
I see seven towers but I only see one way out
You gotta cry without weeping, talk without speaking
And scream without raising your voice
You know I took the poison from the poison stream
Then I floated out of here

Singing ha, ha la la la de day
Ha la la la de day, ha la la de day

She runs through the streets with her eyes painted red
Under a black belly of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway she brings me
White gold and pearls stolen from the sea
She is raging, she is raging
And the storm blows up in her eye
She will suffer the needle chill
She’s running to stand… still

I’m still running, (still running)
I’m still running, (still running)
Still running, (still running)
Still running, (still running)

New Year’s Day
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 26, 1989

New Year’s Day

All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with ya be with ya night and day
Nothing changes on 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 blood-red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
Newspaper says it’s true
Say it's true it’s true
And we can break through
Though torn in two, we can be one

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

Yeah-oh

Well, how do you feel about 1989?
Czechoslovakia…East Germany
Poland…Romania…because of one man…one man
The Edge!
He did it all

Ah-hah, ah-hah, ah-hah
I will be with you again / I…I
I will be with you again / I…I
I will be with you again / I…I
I will be with you again / I…I

Pride (In The Name Of Love)
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 26, 1989

This is Pride

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come 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 on an 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…love…love…love

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Mmm...
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Early morning, 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

Happy Christmas, The Edge

In the name of love
One more in the name of love
In the name of love
One more in the name of love
In the name of love

Thank you
Thank you, good night

Angel Of Harlem
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 26, 1989

Check out these boys, Boogaloo!
Mel… Walter King…James Toney…Larry Mullen Junior
The B. B. King Orchestra
People say how come you write a song about Billie Holiday
Set in New York City, I mean you’re a Dublin Band, you come from Ireland
What do you know about New York?
I say listen man, we built New York

Angel of Harlem, Oh yeah!

Cold and wet December day
We touched the ground at JFK
Snow was melting on the ground
On BLS I heard the sound
Of an Angel

New York like a Christmas tree
Tonight this city belongs to me
Angel

Soul love, well this love won't let me go
So long, Angel of Harlem

Birdland on 53
The street sounds like a symphony
Got John Coltrane and A Love Supreme
Miles and she’s got to be an Angel
Oh-oh

Lady Day got bloodshot eyes
She sees the truth behind the lies
Angel

Soul love
Well this love won't let me go
So long
Angel of Harlem

Woh-ho-ho, ho-oh-oh-oh
Woh-ho-oh she’s heart and…
Oh yeah, all right now baby love

Blue light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
An empty glass the Angel sings
Eyes swollen like a bee sting

Blinded, you lost your way
In the side streets and the alley way
Like a star exploding in the night
Falling to the city in broad daylight

Angel in her devil shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an Angel
Yeah, yeah, Angel of Harlem

Angel, Angel of Harlem
C’mon now y’all
Angel, Angel of Harlem

We’re caught in a crowd
We can’t go on
Because I love you too much, baby, yeah

Why can’t you see
What you’re doing to me
You don’t believe a word I’m saying
No more Suspicious Minds

Angel, Angel of Harlem
Angel, Angel of Harlem
