So you never knew love
Until you'd crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted
'Til you had someone slap your face
And you never felt alive
Until you'd almost wasted away
You had to win
You couldn't just pass
The smartest ass
At the top of the class
Your flying colors
Your family tree
And all your lessons in history
Please...please...please...
Get up off your knees, now
Please...please...please...
Leave it out...
So you never knew
How low you'd stoop to make that call
And you never knew
What was on the ground until they made you crawl
So you never knew
That the heaven you keep, you stole
Your Catholic blues
Your convent shoes
Your stick-on tattoos
Now they're making the news
Your holy war
Your northern star
Your sermon on the mount
From the boot of your car
Please...please...please...
Get up off your knees, now
Please...please...please...
Leave it out
'Cause love is big
And love is tough
But love is not
What you're thinking of
September
Streets capsizing
Spilling over
And down the drain
Shards of glass
Splinters like rain
But you could only feel
Your own pain
October
Talk getting nowhere
November
December
Remember
Are we just starting again
Please...please...please...
Get up off your knees, now
Please...
'Cause love is big
Is bigger than us
But love is not
What you're thinking of
It's what lovers deal
It's what lovers steal
You know I've found it hard to receive
'Cause you my love
I could never believe
One of the biggest bands of the last 25 years, U2 began life in Dublin, Ireland in 1976, holding their first rehearsal in the kitchen of drummer Larry Mullen Jr. From that inauspicious beginning U2 flourished, eventually becoming permanently woven into the pop-culture fabric of modern Western society. Playing under several different names, and at one time with a line-up of seven musicians, it was in 1978 that the band officially became both U2 and a foursome, and their final line-up -- Paul "Bono" Hewson on vocals, Dave "The Edge" Evans on lead guitar, Adam Clayton on bass, and Larry Mullen on drums -- hasn't changed. This quartet won a talent competition in Limerick and brought themselves to the attention of the man who became their manager, Paul McGuinness.
