I'm having a U2 moment - again.

The answer to my eternal question about which is my favourite U2 song, changes every day.

Tonight, though, it was 'Electrical Storm'....

In the words of the man himself (coutesy U2.com)...

'It's about a couple in a room, feeling a storm brewing in the sky outside and equating that to the pressure they feel in their relationship.'


ELECTRICAL STORM.

The sea it swells like a sore head and the night it is aching
Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed
And the day it is breaking

On rainy days we'd go swimming out
On rainy days swimming in the sound
On rainy days we'd go swimming out

You're in my mind all of the time
I know that's not enough
If the sky can crack there must be someway back
For love and only love

Electrical Storm
Electrical Storm
Baby don't cry

Car alarm won't let you back to sleep
You're kept awake dreaming someone elses dream
Coffee is cold but it'll get you through
Compromise that's nothing new to you.
Let's see colours that have never been seen
Let's go places no one else has been

You're in my mind all of the time
I know that's not enough
Well if the sky can crack there must be someway back
To love and only love

Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby don't cry

It's hot as hell, honey in this room
Sure hope the weather will break soon
The air is heavy, heavy as a truck
We need the rain to wash away our bad luck

Well if the sky can crack there must be some way back
To love and only love

Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm

Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry
Baby don't cry

...................U2

The video is stunning - black and white, emotionally charged and very sexy.
This time, Larry, not Bono, gets the girl!

Let me know if you haven't seen it....because you really should, in my opinion!
