"Electrical Storm" song lyrics by U2
"Electrical Storm" is the only single from U2's second compilation album, The Best of 1990–2000
, and one of the two new songs recorded for that album (the other one being the Oscar nominated "The Hands That Built America").Electrical Storm had never been played live by U2 until it debuted on the 360 degree Tour in Barcelona.
The song's lyrics are about two lovers who are fighting and the tension between them. The electrical storm that is coming is the metaphor for the relationship.
Electrical Storm Lyrics:
The sea, it swells like a sore head
And the night, it is aching
Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed
And the day, it is breaking
On rainy days we go swimming out
On rainy days swimming in the sound
On rainy days we go swimming out
You're in my mind all of the time
I know that's not enough
If the sky can crack
There must be some way back
For love and only love
Car alarm won't let you back to sleep
You're kept awake dreaming someone else's dream
Coffee's cold but it'll get you through
Compromise, that's nothing new to you
Let's see colours that have never been seen
Let's go to places no one else has been
You're in my mind all of the time
I know that's not enough
Well, if the sky can crack there must be some way back
To love and only love
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby, don't cry
It's hot as hell, honey, in this room
Sure hope the weather will break soon
The air is heavy, heavy as a truck
Need the rain to wash away our bad luck
Well, if the sky can crack there must be some way back
For love and only love
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby, don't cry
Baby, don't cry
Baby, don't cry
Baby, don't cry
