I saw your post over there, thanks for doing that. It does look like he abandoned the lyric. The "not good enough 4 the great man" thing he wrote on it. And of course the fact that he felt they belonged in the trash bin.

I'll try again then:



[Thick Black scribble in the top left corner]
Not fall/So far
or
?? ?? ??

[Thinner writing]
??? the Nelson Mandela
All those who stood together now know this....
that real classic is not a scar on the land
but in the heart of a every man, who began as a boy

[beside the fist holding something]
not to resist
a knotted fist
now an open hand
an open face
an open page
And history might
re..ate it's rage


"We as people learn of sound
the songs are in our eyes
gonna wear them like a crown"


[beneath the hand doing the peace-sign]
a knotted fist
now an open hand
an open face
an open page

[Writing on the side]
The salt in your eyes
tell a story and others
tell every heart
it's as free as is yours

[Black, thick writing]
Not good enough 4 the great man.

Interesting enough, there seems to be a speech/other lyrics written on the backside:
I'll go crazy if I don't go... and so on in the top left corner.

Reead

Breakthrough! He definitely says some of these lines in Beach Clip #2.

On the other hand it does say "BoNo TRASH - w finished lyrics" on the can itself, I don't know if you've noticed or perhaps my eyes play tricks on me.
4-5 sheets of paper with lyrics on their front and backsides, does this mean the buyer will know all the lyrics to the upcoming album? (5 sheets x 2 sides = 10 song lyrics)

bonocomet

there could be other lyrics besides the Mandela ones.
I just was referring to the way he wrote that they were not good enough, and then puts them "in the trash".
I think he wrote on the can "unfinished" lyrics.



(I think you posted the link for the big picture, thanks!) Interesting that there are a lot more than one page of lyrics!

Oh and good detective work on the reverse side of the paper!

Oh, I see. I must've misunderstood your interpretation, then.

My mistake about the writing too, it certainly helps to have a full scale picture like that!

I posted the three pictures on the last page, but not the closeup that you used in your reply. Thank you yourself for listening to my ramblings and pure speculation.

bonocomet

It's ok, when I posted that I also didn't know there were multiple pages of lyrics, thats verrrry interesting! But he definitely seemed to feel the ones on that page in particular weren't good enough.

I thought you posted the link to where I got the huge pic as well, guess it was someone else, oops! And Bono's handwriting is always up for interpretation I suppose

Must be the lyrics to Crazy Tonight, it seems .
Did anyone try to figure out the lyrics for the lead single yet?
We will find out in 10 days, anyway so let's do this just for fun, shall we.
Here's my try:

Beach Clip #3 - Get On Your Boots
[Verse]
Everything is perfect
And now
It's six o' clock
Haven't seen you midnight
But I miss you too
I've got submarine
You've got gasoline
Gasoline and ... in your sexy boots

[Chorus]
Sexy boots, boots, boots
Sexy boots, yeah

[Verse]
I think you're ...
...
but you offer me to teach me
I think you teach me how to do it
You tried to put the fire out
But you couldn't put it out, I guess
You haven't seen it [talk interrupting]

[Pre-chorus]
(oh oh oh ha)
(oh oh oh ha)
You don't know how beautiful you are
You don't know (no, oh oh oh)
and you don't get it do you? (no, oh oh oh)
You don't know
Know how beautiful (You don't know how beautiful)
You are

[Chorus]
Sexy boots, boots, boots
Sexy boots, yeah
Sexy boots

[Verse]
Something in the night
It's your war
Would you fall
Beautiful, tall
Scared but I don't run he says
I don't wanna love you
But I just can't get over you
And I don't wanna talk about the war between the nations

[Chorus]
Sexy boots
Sexy boots, yeah
Sexy boots, boots, boots

[Pre-chorus]
(oh oh oh ha)
(oh oh oh ha)
You don't know how beautiful you are
You don't know (no, oh oh oh)
and you don't get it do you? (no, oh oh oh)
You don't know (You don't know how beautiful)
Know how beautiful
You are

[Chorus]
Sexy boots
Sexy boots, yeah
Sexy boots

[Outro break]
Is this the Hip-hop twist in the middle mentioned by Q?

...
You don't know, baby
You don't know, baby
It's fine
Ba-by
It's fine
You don't know, baby
You don't know, baby
You're mine
You don't know, baby
You don't know, baby
It's fine

[Final chorus]
Get On Your Boots
Get On Your Boots
Get On Your Boots - He-he-hey!
Get On Your Boots - He-he-hey!
Get On Your Boots - He-he-hey!
Get On Your Boots - He-he-hey!
Get On Your Boots - He-he-hey!
Get On Your Boots, boots, boots - He-he-hey!


Something like that, I guess.
Your turn.

I knew we had discussed those Crazy Tonight lyrics somewhere before.
