The Best Of 1980-1990
Such beautiful synchronicity... Credible band signs to major label. Early singles nudge the arse-end of the Top 50....
SUCH BEAUTIFUL synchronicity... Credible band signs to major label. Early singles nudge the arse-end of the Top 50. Debut album fails to set world alight. Ergo, in spite of building up a fanbase, band is threatened with dreaded 'drop' from major label. Sounds familiar, yes? Yes indeedy, and that is precisely the scenario U2 found themselves in at the start of the '80s....

U2 - The Best of 1980-1990 Lyrics
U2 - All I Want Is You Lyrics
You say you want diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want your story to remain untold
But all the promises we make from the cradle to the grave
U2 - When Love Comes To Town Lyrics
Hey yeah, yeah
I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
I was under the waves before love rescued me
U2 - Desire Lyrics
Yeah
Lover, I'm on the street
Gonna go where the bright lights
And the big city meet
U2 - Angel Of Harlem Lyrics
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
