reason #3 that U2 is the greatest band in the world

All I want is more songs like this one, my favorite:

All I want is you, live at Slane Castle. Lyrics over the jump.

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
Treasure, just to look upon it
All the riches in the night.

You say you’ll give me eyes in the moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest.
All the promises we make, from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you.

You say you want your love to work out right
To last with me through the night.

You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold.
All the promises we break, from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you.

  1. Dear me Miss Coaster are you really a U2 ite . An overblown pop group with credibility to sell out in my humble . When Punk was dying years ago the wet versions of it that started to appear came in for special loathing and U2 was one of them. They do make a good entry into American Psycho so can`t be all bad I suppose.

    Hope all well…theres been some press recently about how racist Canda is getting and an article in the New Statesman about it . Admittedly the New Statesman is well know to be full to the brim with unprocessed faeces but still..I thought you wrere all justt one big happy family …?

  2. Post punk stands or falls on its own merits, as does the music of U2. Anyone who’d describe their signature sound as “pop” is already either over or under medicated to a criminal extent, and so can be dismissed.

    You read the New Statesman? That’s one person then…

  3. …I`d have thought you`d like it R it being the Liberal Left Notice Board…I read it to know my enemy…. The Spectator is the one I agree with.

    U2 are Pop and always have been . I like Pop music actually I just find this example less than it seems to be I think they are the world`s biggest band so I`m obviously in a minority
