Lyrics to NLOTH Clips

Horizon40 · 02-07-2009, 08:05 PM

No Line on the Horizon:

One day she’s still
The next she swells
You can hear the universe
In her sea shells,
Oh yea

No, no line on the horizon
No, no line

I know….

Magnificent:

Magnificent,
(Oh, oh)
Magnificent

Unknown Caller:

Sunshine,
Sunshine

Sunshine,
Sunshine

I’ll go Crazy if I don’t go Crazy tonight:

Just a little hit
Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot
How can you stand next to the truth, and not see it?

Oh, a change of heart
Comes to

It’s not a hill,
It’s a mountain
As you start out the climb

Stand Up Comedy:

… Beauty
Dictator of the heart

I could stand up,
For hope, faith, love,
While I’m getting over certainty

Stop helping God across the road,
Like a little old lady

Out from under your bed…

Fez-Being Born:

Let me in the sound,
Let me in the sound, sound,
Let me in the sound

White as Snow:

Where I came from,
There were no hills at all
The land was flat,
The highway, straight and wide

My brother and I,
Would drive for hours
Like we’d years,
Instead of…

Breathe:

…Things I need you to know,

Three,
Coming from a long line of traveling sales people on my mother's side,
I wasn’t gunna buy just anyone’s cockatoo,
So why would I invite a complete stranger into my home?
Would you?

These days are better than that,
These days are better than that

Cedars of Lebanon:

Woke up in my clothes, in a dirty heap
Spent the night trying to make a deadline
Squeezing complicated lives into a simple headline

I have your face in an old Polaroid,
Tidying the children’s clothes & toys,
You’re smiling back at me,
I took the photo from the…

I love the "spent the night trying to make a deadline, squeezing complicated lives into a simple headline."

I'm still kinda underwhelmed. Concrete imagery tends to bore the heck out of me.

But I'm not judging them until I've heard the whole album.

I get the feeling that White as snow is trying to be like A sort of homecoming lyrically but these lyrics have nothing on ASOH

Where I came from,
There were no hills at all
The land was flat,
The highway, straight and wide

My brother and I,
Would drive for hours
Like we’d years,

VS

And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire, time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape

Nice job Horizon40

That just depresses me. I'm sorry, but it is impossible for me to escape how amazing the ASOH lyric is to me compared to how dull the White as Snow lyric is.

This is all IMO, though... I don't claim to be the sole true judge of music.

RademR · 02-07-2009, 11:02 PM

heard them all a good 20 times each....i think all of them have great promise from the little I've heard of course. Songs like MOS and White as Snow you can't get much from....the only one that I'm kind of ehhh about it "Stand Up"...dont like the lyrics and the way it's such. but everyone is saying its kind of LEd Zep, so I'm sure the rest of the song has more promise.

astepcloser24 · 02-07-2009, 11:59 PM

Based on sound and lyrics, I'm actually quite looking forward to hearing I'll Go Crazy.

last unicorn · 02-08-2009, 03:32 PM

I only listened to the clips once, because I don't want to spoil the excitement about the new album, but I must say I loved what I heard and it totally wasn't what I expected, at least with some songs. I cannot believe how incredible great White as snow and Cedars sound, lyrically as well as musically, Bono's singing is just awsome. I think I had goosbumps when listening to these songs and it's only 30 seconds. I totally love love love the storytelling Bono is doing, that something I wanted to hear from him for a long time and his voice is just perfect there.

It's a shame that from MOS and UC you can only hear the intros. All the other stuff I really liked as well, F-BB sounds a little weird, but well. I have been away for the weekend and decided to not get involved in the album discussion any more because I don't want to spoil anything for myself. I am just so happy and excited about the new album at the moment and I don't want to discuss or analyze it before I have officially heard all the tracks and made up my mind.

Being born

Six o´clock
On the autoroute
Burning rubber, burning chrome
Bay of Cadiz and ferry home
Atlantic sea cut glass
African sun at last

Lights... flash past...
Like memories
A speeding head, a speeding heart
I´m being born, a bleeding start
The engines roar, blood curling wail
Head first then foot
The heart sets sail

U2387 · 02-09-2009, 06:36 PM

Cant wait to hear crazy tonight: "every beauty needs to go out with an idiot" has got to be one of the truest lines ever spoken, unfortunately.
