The Best Of 1980-1990

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 - U218 Singles Lyrics
U2 - Mysterious Ways Lyrics
Johnny take a walk with your sister, the moon
Let her pale light in to fill up your room
You've been living underground, eating from a can
You've been running away from what you don't understand
U2 - Saints Are Coming Lyrics
There is a house in New Orleans
They call The Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
U2 - Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own Lyrics
Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough
U2 - Vertigo Lyrics
Unos, dos, tres, catorce!
Lights go down it's dark
The jungle is your head
U2 - Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of Lyrics
I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
U2 - Desire Lyrics
Yeah
Lover, I'm on the street
Gonna go where the bright lights
And the big city meet
U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name Lyrics
I wanna run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls that hold me inside
I wanna reach out and touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday Lyrics
Yes
I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes and make it go away
U2 - Sweetest Thing Lyrics
My love she throws me like a rubber ball
Oh, oh, oh, the sweetest thing
She won't catch me or break my fall
Oh, oh, oh, the sweetest thing
U2 - New Year's Day Lyrics
Yeah!
All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
U2 - With Or Without You Lyrics
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
U2 - Elevation Lyrics
Yeah, yeah
High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
U2 - Walk On Lyrics
And love, it's not the easy thing
The only baggage, that you can bring
Not the easy thing, the only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind
U2 - Beautiful Day Lyrics
The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town
U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For Lyrics
I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
U2 - Pride (in The Name Of Love) Lyrics
One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow
U2 - One Lyrics
Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
U2 - Window in the Skies Lyrics
The shackles are undone, the bullets quit the gun
The heat thatâs in the sun will keep us when thereâs none
The rule has been disproved, the stone it has been moved
The grave is now a groove, all debts are removed
