 A Room At The Heartbreak Hotel lyrics by U2


'A Room At The Heartbreak Hotel' song lyrics by U2


B-side from U2's classic Angel of Harlem, a popular song from Rattle and Hum. The song might be about a hooker or a woman who confuses sex for love.

Either way it's one of those classic songs written by Bono which could mean anything.

Given the bluesy roots that U2 were trying to lay down on Rattle and Hum, Heartbreak Hotel is probably a reference to the popular Elvis song as well.  

Lyrics:

From where I stand
I can see through you
From where you're sitting, pretty one
I know it got to you

See the stars in your eyes
You want the truth but you need the lies
Like Judy Garland, like Valentino
You give your life for rock and roll, uh huh

Stand
We're on the landslide of love
You got everything you want,
And what you need you give away

For a primitive love and a ride on the mystery train
A primitive love
A room at the heart, heartbreak hotel
A room at the heartbreak, heartbreak hotel
A room at the heartbreak, heartbreak hotel

You say it's love, it's not the money
You let them suck your life out like honey
Turning tricks, you're on the street
Selling your kisses so bittersweet

I love it, yeah
Buy me again
I want to know pretty baby
I want to know
The price is too hard to pay

A primitive love and a ride on the mystery train
A primitive love
A room at the heart, heartbreak hotel

A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak
The heartbreak hotel, hotel
A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak
The heartbreak hotel, hotel
A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak
The heartbreak hotel, hotel
A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak
The heartbreak hotel, hotel

Hallelujah, said halle-hello to ya
Said hallelujah

A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak
The heartbreak hotel, hotel
Halle, halle, halle, hallelujah
Halle, halle, halle, hallelujah
A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak
The heartbreak hotel, hotel
Halle, halle, halle, hallelujah
Halle, halle, halle, hallelujah
Halle, halle, halle, hallelujah
Halle, halle, halle, hallelujah
A room at the heartbreak, the heartbreak
The heartbreak hotel, hotel

Deep in the Heart Lyrics by U2



Deep in the Heart Lyrics by U2 

This song was a U2 b-side from The Joshua Tree's very popular hit I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. Deep in the Heart features some slide guitar from The Edge.

Lyrics:

Angel, everything is gonna be alright
Angel, everything is gonna work out tonight
Thirty years old, sweet as a rose
Every petal of her wafer thin
Love will make you blind, creep up from behind
Get you jumping out of your skin
Angel, it's sink or swim

Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place

Door is closed behind me now
The window is sealed to shut out the light
Green as the leaves and the cure of the nettle sting
Do your homework, it'll work out right

Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place

The scent of cedar, I can still see her
You can't return to the place you never left
Angel, we'll make it work out tonight
Angel, I wanna be home tonight
Door is closed behind me now
The window is sealed, to shut out the light
Green as the leaves the cure of the nettle sting
Do your work and you'll work out right

Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place
Deep in the heart
Deep in the heart of this place

Are You Gonna Wait Forever lyrics by U2



Are You Gonna Wait Forever lyrics by U2

Are You Gonna Wait Forever was the b-side from U2's Vertigo single off the How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb album. This song was dropped from the album as All Because of You ended up sharing the same musical sensibilities - in a similar way to how Lady With The Spinning Head is very similar to The Fly.

Lyrics:

All the obstacles in my way, now
Are disappearing every day, now
I'm getting closer
We're getting closer to home
It won't be long until the summer comes

Are you gonna wait forever?
Are you gonna wait forever?

Getting out from under my bed, now
I'm going to say the things I should have said, now
Getting closer
Getting closer to what's true
Gonna find myself in you

Are you gonna wait forever?
Are you gonna wait forever?
Are you gonna wait forever?
Are you gonna wait forever?

There's no one there behind their eyes
They're in the business, beautiful lies
We'll keep the promise
'Cause we don't know how to break it
The furniture you can rearrange
Don't trade your dreams for some small change
Guard the flame, or better leave it naked

Are you gonna wait forever?
Are you gonna wait forever?
Are you gonna wait forever?
How?
Are you gonna wait forever?
How, how long, how long?
Or is it now, now, now?
Or is it now?

Down All The Days lyrics by U2

Released as part of the celebrations of the twenty year anniversary of one of U2's best albums, Achtung Baby. If you liked this song, you should check out U2's Blow Your House Down which was released at the same time.

Down all the Days Lyrics by U2.

My eyes are black
They've seen the glory
My ears are shut
They've heard the storm
My legs are weak
From so much stumbling

Down all the days
Down all the days

My lips are dry
They've tasted water
My spirit high
I hardly touch the ground
My heart is heavy
It hears the distant firing

Down all the days
Down all the days
Down all the days
Down all the days
Down all the days
Days, days
Down all the days
Days, days

I love to talk
Days, days
Can you leave me some it to hug
Days, days
Can you hold me now
Days, days
I love her hug
Days, days
Days, days
Days

The skyline's in the cloud
Throw down some winds now
Right now I'm only here to see me
Come down whenever you want to see me
Right on a phone, the holy rose
Someone in the street's on fire
And I am weary, worthy
Wounded, all wrong
I love thee, to hold thee
I love thee

Everybody Loves A Winner lyrics U2

Everybody Loves A Winner lyrics U2

A left over from the Achtung Baby recording sessions, the song was released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of what were arguably U2's richest recording sessions (any session that One or Love is Blindness falls out of must be rich!)


Lyrics:


Once I had fame
I was full of pride
Well, there were a lot of friends
Always by my side

But my luck ran dry
Now my friends begin to hide

Everybody loves a winner
Everybody loves a winner
When you lose, you lose alone

Everywhere I turned
There was a hello and a smile
I never thought they'd be gone
After a while

Oh, that big road ran down
And the smiles turned to frowns

Everybody loves a winner
Everybody loves a winner
But when you lose, you lose alone

Hands to heaven that I would be true
To get back that love
There's nothing I wouldn't do
But I learned and I lost
And now I paid the cost

Everybody loves a winner
Everybody loves a winner
Everybody loves a winner
But when you lose, you lose alone

Heaven and Hell Lyrics by Bono

You used to think I was something special
You haven't thought that in a while
You liked the company of my inner devil
'Cause my inner devil could make you smile

Like an angel on some stained-glass
Not some relic from the recent past
With your pale breasts and your fresh wound
And your eyes to heaven with your hands bound

I thought you'd find me when you went looking
In truth, you'd have to be there to look around
How come the honeysuckle isn't sucking
And I got a bee sting walking on the ground

Did our brass bead become a mud bath
A dirty boy, dirty girl having a dirty laugh
I saw you coming, I had you covered
Till you discovered

That we're heaven, heaven, heaven and hell
Heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven and hell

Picnick table and a china cup
We had an airbed that was all stuffed
Now it's room 64 at the chateau
Ask the front desk where does your love go

Is it to heaven, heaven, heaven or to hell
Is it to heaven, heaven, heaven or hell
Baby, we're heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven and hell

Blow Your House lyrics U2

Blow Your House lyrics by U2

Blow Down Your House was released by Irish Rockers U2 to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of their classic album, Achtung Baby. The song was from the recording sessions of that album. It was released as part of a super dooper reissue of Actung Baby.

Burn Your House down features all the familiar sonic elements of Achtung Baby - Edge riffs, appeggios, slide guitar, backing vocals and lyrics that feature a woman as a central character that's being out of control - kind of like The Lady with the Spinning Head

Blow Your House Down Lyrics:

You've been along this road so many times
Nothing should be a surprise to you
Seen every premeditated crime
From every possible point of view

Why, if it's so wrong, does it feel so right?
Why, oh I've got your gun?
Do I want you tonight?

She, she's gonna blow your house down
She's gonna turn your head around
She's gonna blow your house down

What of chaos is the thing you crave
Is it the taste of self-inflicted pain
And what of losing is your drug of choice
Is it what keeps you coming back again

Why, if it's so wrong, does it feel so right

She, she's gonna blow your house down
She's gonna turn your head around
She's gonna blow your house down

She blow your house down
She's gonna turn your head around
She's gonna blow your house down

Run fast, fast as you can
Run fast, fast as you can
Fast, fast as you can
Run as fast, fast as you can
Fast as you can
Run as fast, fast as you can

The wave, it have its
She was saving it
What makes you think you can
Oh, they're craving
Deals for breaking
Your old devil's hands

She, she's gonna blow your house down
She's gonna turn your head around
She's gonna blow your house down

She gonna blow your house down
She's gonna turn your head around
She's gonna blow your house down

List of U2 B-sides and Lyrics



When a band records an album, they often have a selection of songs that don't make the final cut but they are good enough to be released in some form and historically they've been added as a B-side as support to the A-side of a single release.

U

2's B-sides offer a treasure trove of musical gems that, while not always in the spotlight like their hit singles, have garnered a significant following among fans and hold a special place in the band's extensive discography. These tracks often showcase U2's willingness to experiment and explore different musical terrains, providing a deeper look into their creative process and artistic range.

One of the most celebrated B-sides in U2's catalog is "The Three Sunrises," featured on the "Wide Awake in America" EP. This song, with its uplifting melody and evocative lyrics, captures the ethereal sound that U2 was experimenting with in the mid-1980s. Its spiritual undertones and atmospheric quality make it a standout track that resonates with the band’s signature style.

"Spanish Eyes," a B-side to "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," is another fan favorite. This track exudes a more relaxed, romantic vibe, differing from the more politically charged songs of the "The Joshua Tree" era. Its melodic simplicity and heartfelt lyrics showcase a different facet of U2's songwriting, one that embraces love and intimacy.

"Sweetest Thing," originally a B-side to "Where the Streets Have No Name," later gained prominence when it was re-recorded and released as a single for the 1998 compilation album "The Best of 1980–1990." This song is known for its catchy melody and is reportedly written by Bono as an apology to his wife for missing her birthday. Its charm and sincerity have made it a beloved track among fans.

"Lady With the Spinning Head," the B-side to "The Fly," is notable for its energetic rhythm and experimental sound. This track is a fascinating listen as it contains elements that would later be developed into three other songs: "The Fly," "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)," and "Zoo Station," showcasing the band's creative process.

"Salomé," a B-side of "Even Better Than the Real Thing," is revered for its raw energy and rock-driven sound. This track captures the band's adventurous spirit during the early 1990s, a period marked by sonic experimentation and a departure from their earlier style.

"Hallelujah Here She Comes," a B-side to "Desire," is another notable mention. It blends blues influences with the band’s rock sensibilities, creating a track that is both soulful and dynamic.

U2's B-sides are not mere afterthoughts; they are an integral part of the band's musical journey. These tracks allow fans to explore the lesser-known aspects of U2's repertoire, offering a more comprehensive understanding of their artistic evolution. For many fans, these B-sides are not just additional songs but essential pieces that complete the U2 puzzle, showcasing the band’s versatility and depth.

'I'll Believe Her When She Sings' song lyrics by U2



This is a place holder post based on speculation this is a song name by U2. Mentioned in 2011, the song has never been heard of again. Possibly a song U2 worked on and then abandoned in favour of other tracks.

It could make an appearance on Songs of Experience but we doubt it.

Consider this a foot note in the song creation process.

This album became Songs of Innocence

Songs of Ascent Lyrics by U2

While not yet officially announced, Bono suggested that U2 were working on an album called Songs of Ascent. 

U2 has played a couple of unreleased songs on the 360 Tour and it's assumed these songs are from sessions that were intended for the new album (or were possibly left overs from No Line on the Horizon).

No Line on the Horizon lyrics by U2


No Line on The Horizon was the follow up to How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.

Featuring the odd first single choice of Get On Your Boots, the roaring Magnificent and the wonderful Unknown Caller, NLOTH was a strong effort from the band.

How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb lyrics by U2 

HTDAAB was a great follow up to U2's 'comeback' album, All That You Can't Leave Behind.

Featuring the big hits of Vertigo and City of Blinding Lights, the album was another turn at the 'classic U2 sound' albeit with a slightly more rocky slant than it's predecessor. Winning 9 Grammy Awards and selling 9 million copies, U2's work won favour with fans and critics.

Lyrically the album has been said to be a consideration of world at the crossroads of its existence. Love and war, peace and harmony, and approaching death are strong lyrical themes.

Lyrics:


  1. Vertigo
  2. Miracle Drug
11. Yahweh

Bonus Track: Fast Cars

In case you where wondering how one does dismantle and atomic bomb, the answer is 'with love' as refered to in the song Fast Cars.

U2's "Spanish Eyes" b-side lyrics


Spanish Eyes was the b-side to the very popular single from The Joshua Tree, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For


The meaning in Bono's lyrics is suggestion that the Irish have Spanish heritage in their ancestry (whether DNA based or not). Bono is really making a simple love song with a focus on eyes, as is custom for many songs.

Spanish Eyes Lyrics


Hey, hey, baby hang on
Baby hang on

Hang to your heart
Beat tight like a drum set
Hang on to your love
See it shine like a song
Hey, hey, baby hang on

Our love it shines like rain
In those spanish eyes, spanish eyes

Hey, hey, here she comes
Comes in colours
You know she gonna turn the daylight on
Cause I love the way you talk to me
And I love the way you walk on me
And I need you
More than you need me
Our love, shines like rain
In those spanish eyes, spanish eyes

Across the world
For green and gold
It's those spanish eyes
That get me home
Home again

Hey, hey, baby hang on
Hey, hey, you know that
The night is young
Dazzled by lights that
Shine in your eyes
I'm standing in the shadows
And wait for the night
Forever in fever
Forever in heat
You pick me up to put me out on the street

Hey, hey, baby hang on, hang on
Hey, hey, baby hang on, hang on
Cause I love the way you talk to me
And I love the way you need me
And I need you

'All That You Can't Leave Behind' song lyrics by U2




'All That You Can't Leave Behind' album song lyrics by U2


Following the muddled experiment that was Pop (that's not to say it lacked good songs!), U2 returned to their 'classic' sound of bass, drums and guitar for All That You Can't Leave Behind.

This approach to songwriting won many U2 fans back and the album becoming their most successful in over a decade, selling over 12 million copies and winning a truck load of Grammy awards.

The album represents a lyrical journey that blends introspection, social commentary, and a return to the more straightforward rock roots that first brought the band into the limelight. The album, coming after the more experimental phases of the 1990s, can be seen as a reflection on life’s essentials – the things that truly matter and that we carry with us. The lyrics throughout the album are imbued with a sense of maturity, a contemplation of life’s deeper meanings, and a reconnection with their core values.

'All That You Can't Leave Behind' album song lyrics by U2.

Following the 911 attacks in America, the lyrics of the songs took on new meaning for many American U2 fans which contribute to the album's success.

U2's All That You Cant Leave Behind Lyrics 


1. "Beautiful Day"
2. "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of"
3. "Elevation"
4. "Walk On"
5. "Kite"
6. "In a Little While"
7. "Wild Honey"
8. "Peace on Earth"
9. "When I Look at the World"
10. "New York"
11. "Grace"

UK, Australia and Japan bonus track

12. "The Ground Beneath Her Feet"


The album's opening track, "Beautiful Day," sets the tone with its optimistic outlook. The lyrics encourage finding beauty and hope in the midst of chaos and adversity, reflecting a theme of resilience and the ability to see the silver lining in every situation. This song, like much of the album, is a reminder of the power of perspective and the importance of appreciating life's simple pleasures.

In contrast, "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of," inspired by the suicide of INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, deals with themes of regret and the pain of loss. The song acts as a hypothetical argument with a friend who's in a dark place, urging them to realize that their current struggles are not the defining moment of their life. It reflects the album's overarching theme of moving forward and finding redemption.

"Kite," another notable track, is laden with metaphors about change, loss, and letting go. It is often interpreted as Bono's reflection on his own mortality and the eventual need to let go of his children as they grow up. This song, like others on the album, balances personal introspection with universal themes, resonating with listeners at different stages of life.

"Walk On," dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi and her struggle for freedom in Myanmar, is an anthem of perseverance and courage in the face of injustice. The lyrics, "You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been/A place that has to be believed to be seen," speak to the journey of faith and the belief in a better future, echoing the album's motif of hope and resilience.

In summary, "All That You Can't Leave Behind" stands out in U2's discography for its lyrical clarity and thematic depth. The album navigates through personal introspection, existential musings, and social commentary, all while maintaining a sense of optimism and forward motion. The lyrics encapsulate a period of reflection and reconnection for the band, offering insights that are both deeply personal and universally applicable.

Pop album lyrics by U2


Pop lyrics by U2


Pop was the U2 juggernaught kicking back into a high gear following the weirdness that was Original Soundtracks Vol 1.

Pop was U2 unashamedly trying to do something new again and saw them testing the waters of electronica.

While some people thought U2 took it too far, Pop produced the delightfully goofy Discotheque, the classic pop song of Staring at the Sun and the oft overlooked but perfectly judged Please (a song which covered the Irish Troubles).

It was yet another U2 album number one all around the world.

U2 Pop album song lyrics


At its core, "Pop" delves into the nuances of consumerism and technology's escalating influence, reflecting a world increasingly obsessed with materialism and media saturation. This is evident in tracks like "Mofo" and "Miami," where the band experiments with electronic sounds to underscore the dissonance between human connection and the superficiality of pop culture.

Simultaneously, the album grapples with spiritual disillusionment and the search for meaning in an era marked by rapid change and uncertainty, themes poignantly explored in songs like "Wake Up Dead Man" and "If God Will Send His Angels." 

U2's Pop Lyrics:


1. "Discothèque"
2. "Do You Feel Loved"
3. "Mofo"
4. "If God Will Send His Angels"
5. "Staring at the Sun"
6. "Last Night on Earth"
7. "Gone"
8. "Miami"
9. "The Playboy Mansion"
10. "If You Wear That Velvet Dress"
11. "Please"
12. "Wake Up Dead Man"

These tracks reveal a profound introspection, questioning the role of faith and morality in a world seemingly adrift. Furthermore, "Pop" doesn't shy away from exploring personal and existential angst, as heard in "Staring at the Sun" and "Gone," where the lyrics convey a sense of longing and existential questing amid the chaos of the modern world. 

The album's thematic richness, coupled with its innovative fusion of rock, dance, and electronic elements, showcases U2's willingness to challenge musical conventions and address the complexities of contemporary life, making "Pop" a reflective mirror of its time and a provocative commentary on the human condition.

If you fans had thought U2's grammy award wining Zooropa was experimental and weird, no one was prepared for the insanity that was Original Soundtracks Vol 1. U2 teamed up with Brian Eno and other artists to be known collectively as passengers to produce an album of weird and wonderful delights such as Your Blue Room and the very popular Miss Sarajevo.
