Mysterious Ways (Popmart Mexico)
« on: May 31, 2006, 06:07:48 AM »
Someone disagreed with my transcription of Bono's improv bit at the end of this song:

Ah, shut your moaning
Come on shut you going
Come on jack jamoly
Come on...

Honestly it was one of those moments where I just kind of shrug and think that's the best it's gonna get and never got around to coming back to it.  So any feedback is greatly appreciated. :)  His comments:

I've listened to it HUNDREDS of times and have never been able to work out what he sings, but after recently getting the boot of the same concert, I'm just about 100% certain, that "Come on shut your going" is actually "Come on Sexy Girl" which is much more logical.

Jack jamoly could also be "Checked ya money" though I still need convincing on that one.

Thanks to NS on my site I got a dvd boot of Popmart Mexico.

Ah, shut your moaning
Come on, shut your going
Come on, Jack Jamoly
Come on, I’m tired

I hear Jack Jamoly pretty clearly. "Come on, I'm tired" seems okay because he laughs a bit with the It's alright, alrighhhht that follows. I don't hear "Come on sexy girl" though it makes more sense:)

MW is one of my fav all time songs, especially the lines "one day you'll look back..."  Here's my read on that verse

One day you’ll look back
And you’ll see, where you were held
How by this love, how by this emotion
You could carry this feeling
Move forward kneeling

This is a nice variation and I'm pretty sure of this.

From a 320k version I just got some changes

Come on, ah child (not "I'm tired")


Then you'll see  (not "and you'll see")
