"Slug" Lyrics U2

"Slug" Lyrics by U2

Slug is from the U2 experimental album Original Soundtracks 1 released under the name 'Passengers'. Slug is a theme song to a purely imaginary movie. Of the album, as a whole, U2 drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. perhaps infamously noted his dislike of the album: "There's a thin line between interesting music and self-indulgence. We crossed it on the Passengers record."

Slug's lyrics are similar in phrasing to U2's Zooropa release, Numb.

Slug Lyrics:

Don't want to lose my shirt
Don't want to dig the dirt
Don't want you to get hurt
Can't help that I'm a flirt
Don't want to take your drugs
Don't want to be a slug
Don't want to overdress
Don't want to make a mess
Don't want you to confess
Not under duress
Don't want to be untrue
I want to be with you
Don't want to lose my nerve
Don't want to throw the curve
Don't want to make you swerve
Don't want what I deserve
Don't want to change the frame
Don't want to be a pain
Don't want to stay the same
