This is U2′s version of a Doors’ song. I do think “Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome” is my favorite U2 lyric, though. But seriously, when Bono starts talking, you could totally just substitute the whole talking part of “The End.” Outside it’s America. Outside it’s America. And he walked on down the hall!!!
In slightly related news, having already typed “youtube” I am having great trouble typing U2.
And Ray Manzarek’s left hand is still a better bassist than Adam Clayton.
True, true.
I’ve had The End / Bullet the Blue Sky on mental tape loop all afternoon, by the way. Thanks a metric crapload. :)
You say that like it would have been better if I’d just suffered alone.
