I Will Follow
Paris, France
Hippodrome de Vincennes
July 4, 1987

I Will Follow

I was on the outside
When you say you say you needed me
I was looking at myself
I was blind, I could not see…oh

Well a boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by his hand
If he stops to think, he starts to cry
Oh why

If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will…follow
 
I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found

Walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will... follow

Pick it up

Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I go in there
But it’s your eyes
But it’s your eyes
But it’s your eyes
Hey… your… your eyes
Oh-oh-oh-oh-la-la-la-la-la-la

If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow

I will follow
I will…follow
I will follow
I will

Thank you
Thank you very much

Trip Through Your Wires
Paris, France
Hippodrome de Vincennes
July 4, 1987

Hoo

She said, she saw me coming 'round
I was calling out, I was calling out

Still shaking, still in pain
She put me back together again
I was cold and you clothed me, honey
I was down and you lifted me, honey

Angel, angel or devil
I was thirsty and you wet my lips, hey / I was calling out, I was calling out
Yeah

You, I'm waiting for you
You, you set my desire, ooo
I trip through your wires, hey, woo

Woo, The Edge

Ca-ca-ca

I was broken, bent out of shape
I was naked in the clothes you made
Lips are dry, throat like rust
You give me shelter in the heat and the dust
No more water in the well
No more water, water

Angel, angel or devil
I was thirsty and you wet my lips, oh yeah

You, I'm waiting for you
You, you set my desire
I trip through your wires
Ah-ha

All I need, all I need
All I need, all I need
All I need, all I need
All I need, yeah, yeah, yeah

Thunder, thunder on the mountain
There's a rain cloud on the desert sky
In the distance, she saw me coming round
I was calling out, I was calling out, yeah

I Still Haven’t Found What I'm Looking For
Paris, France
Hippodrome de Vincennes
July 4, 1987

This is…
Bon soir
This is a gospel song, with a kind of restless spirit

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
(Adam, one, two, three)

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

I have spoke with the tongue of angel
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone, um-hum

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
Well, yes, I'm still running
(Like a sinner)

You broke the bonds and ya
Loosed the chain
Carried the cross of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believe it, I still do

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
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for, yeah
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for

Exodus!
Yeah

Exodus
Movement of Jah people, all right!
Exodus
Movement of Jah people, all right!
Everything’s all right
Every little thing
Every little thing

Thank you
Merci beaucoup, woo

The Unforgettable Fire
Paris, France
Hippodrome de Vincennes
July 4, 1987

Welcome…to The Unforgettable Fire

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
(Pick it up, pick it up)

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 beseech your love so head on
Stay in this time
Stay tonight in a lie
I'm only asking but I
I think you know

Come on take me away
Well come on take me home
Come on take me away
We’re home again
Home again

Paris
With The Edge

And if the mountains should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear, no not I

Stay in this time
Stay tonight in a lie
I’m only asking but I
I think you know

Stay in this time
Stay tonight
Ever after this loving time
And if you save your love
Save it all
Well don't push me too far
Don't push me too far…tonight

Tonight
Tonight
(Mahoy)?

[slaneman]

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Paris, France
Hippodrome de Vincennes
July 4, 1987

Sunday bloody Sunday
You got it
Pick it up

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-ho

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
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up, my back up against the wall

Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday / Sunday bloody Sunday
Alright so

And this battle’s yet begun
There’s many lost but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And 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
Today!

You got it by now
Sing this for Amnesty International
Have you heard of Amnesty International?
Well they sure heard of you
Sing for me

No more…sing
No more…no more…no more…no more
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your bloodshot eyes / Sunday bloody Sunday
Wipe your tears away / Sunday bloody Sunday

Sunday bloody Sunday / Sunday bloody Sunday, shhh
Sunday bloody Sunday
We’re so sick of it!

And it’s true we are immune
When fact is fiction, TV a reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
The real battle yet begun / Sunday bloody Sunday
We’ll claim the victory for Jesus' sons, yeah / Sunday bloody Sunday

Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday

Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday

Thank you

Exit
Paris, France
Hippodrome de Vincennes
July 4, 1987

Well this is a big place
But U2 and you are bigger than this place

(Bono does his bird sound)

You know he got the cure
You know he went astray
He used to stay awake
To drive the dreams he had away
He wanted to believe
In the hands of love
(Hoo...bird sounds...ooo)
 
His head it felt heavy
As he cut across the land
Dogs started crying
Like a broken hearted man
In the howling wind
In the howling wind

He went deeper into black
Deeper into white
He could see the stars shine
Like nails in the night
He felt the healing, healing
Healing hands of love
Like the stars shining from above

His hand in his pocket
His finger on the steel
The pistol weighed heavy
His heart he could feel
Was beating, beating
Beating, beating oh my love
My love, my love, my love
 
So the hands that build
Can also pull down
Even the hands of love
Even the hands of love

Gloria, G-L-O-R-I-A
Gloria, G-L-O-R-I-A
Gloria, G-L-O-R-I-A
Gloria, G-L-O-R-I-A
Gloria, G-L-O-R-I-A

Gloria, G-L-O-R-I-A
Gloria, G-L-O-R-I-A
Gloria, G-L-O-R-I-A
Glor, hey glo,
Gloria!

In God’s Country
Paris, France
Hippodrome de Vincennes
July 4, 1987

Desert sky
Dream beneath a desert sky
Dreams come until they die
Your heart is breaking now

Desert rose
Dreamed I saw a desert rose
Dress torn in fingers and in bows
Like a siren she calls to me

Sleep comes like a drug
In God's country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
In God's country
Yeah…yeah
(*uck)

Set me alight
We'll punch a hole right through the night
Everyday the dreamers die
To see what's on the other side

She is liberty
And she comes to rescue me
Hope, faith, her vanity, yeah
With the greatest gifts of gold

Sleep comes like a drug
In God's country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
In God's country
Yeah…yeah
(I know)?
Sing it!

Naked flame
She stands in a naked flame
I stand with the sons of Cain
Burned by the fire of love
Burned by the fire of love

Ah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-wo-oh-oh-oh-wo-ho

[slaneman]

Electric Co.
Paris, France
Hippodrome de Vincennes
July 4, 1987

Electric Co.

Ah-hoo
Ah-hoo

Boy
Don’t sit at the table till you’re able to
Toy, broken toy
You shout and shout
You’re inside out

Till you don’t know
Electric Co. / Electric Co.
Till you don’t know / Electric Co.
Electric Co.

Red, running red
You play for real, toy can feel
Hole, in your head
You go in shock, you’re spoon fed

Till you don’t know
Electric Co, / Electric Co.
Till you don’t know / Electric Co.
Electric Co.

Eeeup
Up, up, up, up
Up, up
Up, up, up
Alright

Bring him up
Him
Yes sir

Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, break on through
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through

But if you don’t know
Electric Co. / Electric Co.
If you don’t know / Electric Co.
Electric Co.
Ah-ah-ah-ah

Thank you

Bad
Paris, France
Hippodrome de Vincennes
July 4, 1987

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
Mm-hum

If I could
Throw this lifeless
Lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
To see you walk, walk away
Into the night
Through the day

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away

Into the light
Through the day
Into the half-light
Through the flame

Woh-woh, woh-woh
Hoh-oh-hoh-oh-hoh-oh-hoo
Woh-woh, woh-woh
Woh-oh-ho-oh-hoo
 
Well let it go, uh-huh
Oh not to fade away
Well let it go, uh-huh
And so fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh no
Oh I’m not sleeping
Oh-huh

Oh let it go, uh-huh
And so…
Don't let it go, uh-huh
And so…

Don't let it go, oh no
And so fade, fade
Fade away
Not fade away, no, no... (no)

I’m wide awake
I’m wide awake
Wide awake
I’m not sleeping
Oh no
I’m not sleeping

Ooo-hoo-hoo-hoo, ooo-hoo-hoo
Ooo-hoo-hoo, ooo-hoo-hoo
Ooo-hoo-hoo, ooo...ooo
Ooo-hoo-hoo

Sing it, sing it, sing it
Sing it, sing it, sing it
Sing it, sing it, sing it
Sing it, sing it, sing it

Let it go, uh-huh
And so fade away
Don’t let it go, uh-huh
No-no, fade away, no
Thank you

October
Paris, France
Hippodrome de Vincennes
July 4, 1987

October
Trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care

October
Kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on

And on
You ho-oh-oh-hon
You go on
You go on

[slaneman]

New Year’s Day
Paris, France
Hippodrome de Vincennes
July 4, 1987

Yeah
Thank you

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
And 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
The newspapers say, what they always do

Say it’s true it’s true
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one

I will begin again / I…I
I,  I will begin again / I…I
Woo
Adam Clayton

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-oh-hoh

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
Ah-ho

Bullet The Blue Sky
Paris, France
Hippodrome de Vincennes
July 4, 1987

Yeah, sunny skies over Paris
Sunny skies above London
Yeah

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, woo

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

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

Sky / Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Sky / Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Bullet the blue sky / Sky
Bullet the blue sky / Sky
Bullet blue / Sky
Bullet blue / Sky
Oh, (I love ya) oh

Yeah, yeah
It’s true
So this guy comes up to me, see
His face red like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colors of a royal flush
And he's peeling off those dollar bills
Slapping them down
One hundred… two hundred
And I can see those fighter planes
I can see those fighter planes

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

A man breathes into a saxophone
And through the walls we hear the city groan
Outside it's America
Not tonight it’s not
Go! Run!

Yeah
So anyway
I go to San Salvador
In the hills outside San Salvador
We see the sky ripped open
We see the rain pouring through a gaping wound
Pelting the women and children
Pelting the women and children
Who run
Who run
Into the arms…of America

[slaneman]

Running To Stand Still
Paris, France
Hippodrome de Vincennes
July 4, 1987

And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was lying still
Said I gotta 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
Mmm-hmm

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
Scream without raising your voice
You know I took the poison
From the poison stream
And I floated out of here

Singing, ha-la-la-la-de-day
Ha-la-la-la-de-day, ha–la-la-de-day
Ha-la-la-de-day-hey, yea-hey, yea-hey

Ooo-hoo
Ooo-ooo-hoo

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 to me
White gold and pearls
Stolen from the sea

She is raging, she is raging
And a storm blows up in her eye
She will suffer the needle chill
She’s running to stand… still
