What a great rendition of one of my all time fav U2 songs. Thanks for sharing this, David…
Not only are Bono and The Edge awesome together, the lyrics are sheer poetry…
I’m not afraid of anything in this world
There’s nothing you can throw at me that I haven’t already heard
I’m just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own companyI never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, babyYou’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment and now you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better
Now you’re stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of itI will not forsake the colours that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears, and through your eyes I can seeAnd you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it’s tough, and you can never get enough
Of what you don’t really need now my oh myYou’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it
Oh, love, look at you now
You got yourself stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of itI was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasn’t jumping; for me it was a fall
It’s a long way down to nothing at allYou’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment and now you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better
Now you’re stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of itAnd if the night runs over
And if the day won’t last
And if our way should falter
Along this stony passAnd if the night runs over
And if the day won’t last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass
It’s just a moment
This time will pass
I’m a fan of Michael Hurley’s blog, “We Move Together.” Urge you to check it out. As Michael says, this is “freaking brilliant.” I completely agree. Check out Michael post and U2’s Bono and The Edge performing “Stuck in a Moment.” Fantastic video clip to kick off your Friday.
“…You’ve got to get yourself together
