U2 - Beautiful Day (Live from Boston)

U2 - Elevation Tour 2001 - Live from Boston

"Beautiful Day"

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
But there's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
You're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Always
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for bass
Always

It's a beautiful day
Day
The sky falls, you feel like
Day
It's a beautiful day
Day, day

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
Always

It's a beautiful day
Day
Don't let it get away
Day
It's a beautiful day
Day, day

Touch me, touch me
Take me to another place
You get to teach me, love
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by clouds
See the tuna fleet clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out

Day, day

It was a beautiful day
Day
Don't let it get away
Day
A beautiful day
Day, day

Touch me, touch me, touch me
Take me to another place
You get to teach me, Lord
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Beautiful day

See my friends come to call
We reach to the ground within the soul
To the ground giving soul
Here for everyone

Soul, soul, the goal is soul
Soul, soul, the goal is soul
Soul, the goal is soul
The goal is soul

Beautiful gig, yeah yeah

[badboykob]

bono is incredible live..better then on cd

[MrJohnlarry]

no I can't spell. I only remember Mending Walls by Robert Frost., and Channel Crossing by Sylvia Plath, and numerous other New England classics such as Walden Pond by Henry David Thoreau and stuff like that as I earned my English Honor. And let's not even get started with Freud and Jung. Peace.

Hey guess what! Why don't everyone stop arguring about Bono and watch this masterpiece?!?!? SHEESH!

[youchanneltubeHD]

Increible

@TheStevo37 I don't worship Bono, I just think he's a great frontman. If Bono wants to help people in his own time, so be it. Of course there are people who worship Bono, but there's also people who worship John Lennon and other musicians. Now, I think John Lennon is a genius, but it's a known fact he was a terrible Dad. Wouldn't that be more appropriate to lash about? No, because people wanna listen and talk about his music. Same goes for Bono and U2.

[TheStevo37]

@KazeHebi - reference the ONE foundation - (quote) " According to the New York Post, Bono’s anti-poverty ONE foundation received $14,993,873 in donations from philanthropists in 2008, of which just $184,732 was distributed to three charities. So what happened to the rest? More than $8 million was spent on executive and employee salaries.

This isn’t gossip. The NY Post’s figures are taken directly from the organisation’s 2008 tax return, the latest year for which records are available".

@U2met86 yes I do know its spelt articles, sometimes people do make typos - it happens. Yes perhaps it is was the wrong place for my comment, it's just whenever I come across people worshipping this man and lauding him like he is some sort of god, I get that instant need to try and redress the issue. I don't think there is any other peformer in the music world actually, who annoys me as much. It's funny in life how some people can see through certain people and others are blissfully blind
