I think your right, there's been a lot of talk about his work....maybe, maybe too much talk. This is not a rebels song, this is
MUNDANE BLOODY MUNDANE, MUNDANE BLOODY MUNDANE......do dah daw da do da doo da doodinow, bowdditwang, ba doopidopadat...........



I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes
And make it go away!

How long?
How long must we sing this song?
How long?? How long??

'Cause tonight, we can be as one
Tonight


Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street!
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall!


Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Bloody Sunday)

All right let's go !


And the battle's just 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 looong??

'Cause tonight, we can be as one
Toniight, tonight


Sunday, Bloody Sunday (tonight)
(tonight)Sunday, Bloody Sunday(tonight)

(let's go!)


Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
...Sunday, Bloody Sunday...
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes
...Sunday, Bloody Sunday...
Sunday, Bloody Sunday -Sunday, Bloody Sunday... Ah..
Sunday, Bloody Sunday -Sunday, Bloody Sunday... Ah..


And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality!
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die!

(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
The real battle yet begun(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
To claim the victory Jesus won(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
On...
...Sunday, Bloody Sonday... Sunday, Bloody Sunday...
 
Favourite, written and sung by the edge from what i gather, probably wrong, cant be bothered looking it up.

Haunting vocals, by the edge, and melodies supplied by the rest of the gang-begs the question, why did the edge play the twang wap guitar, instead of , at the very least , writing more damn songs?

oh, van deimens land.

Hold me now, oh hold me now
'Til 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 a day will come in this dawning age
When an honest man sees an honest wage

Hold me now, oh hold me now
'til this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
 
The previous tunes, were actually good.



This one, well, paint by numbers pop-crap really.
Which is a shame, it had some potential to be kick ass at some point in its evolution.
Beatiful day?


The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day
 
Actually, this was also a great track, Angel of harlem.



"Angel Of Harlem"

It was a cold and wet December day
When 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...this love won't let me go
So long...angel of Harlem

Birdland on fifty-three
The street sounds like a symphony
We got John Coltrane and a love supreme
Miles says she's got to be an angel

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

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

She says it's heart...heart and soul...
Yeah yeah...(yeah)
Yeah yeah...(right now)

Blue light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
An empty glass, the lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
Blinded you lost your way
Through the side streets and the alleyway
Like a star exploding in the night
Falling to the city in broad daylight
An angel in Devil's shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an angel
Yeah yeah...angel of Harlem

Angel...angel of Harlem...
[Repeat and fade]
