Songs of subversion

Picked up the new U2 today. I'm progressively becoming a big fan of theirs. I don't know if it's the subversive lyrics, the witness of Bono through his civic involvement, or God forbid their music. I believe that all 3 reasons have merit and they may not be capable of mutually exclusivity.

Vertigo

I can feel your love teaching me how
Your love is teaching me how, how to kneel...

Miracle Drug

Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear a voice
It's whispering
In science and in medicine
"I was a stranger
You took me in"

Love and Peace or Else

Lay down
Lay down your guns
All your daughters of Zion
All your Abraham sons

City of Blinding Lights

The more you know the less you feel
Some pray for others steal
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel...luckily

All Because of You

I was born a child of grace
Nothing else about the place
Everything was ugly but your beautiful face
And it left me no illusion

I saw you in the curve of the moon
In the shadow cast across my room
You heard me in my tune
When I just heard confusion

All because of You
I am...I am

Yahweh

Take these hands
Teach them what to carry
Take these hands
Don't make a fist
Take this mouth
So quick to criticise
Take this mouth
Give it a kiss

Take this city
A city should be shining on a hill
Take this city
If it be your will
What no man can own, no man can take
Take this heart
Take this heart
Take this heart
And make it break

Support the troops...buy this cd...
