Got the promo CD with me for a one-night stand last night. :-) The lyrics
are not much different from the original version, that's for sure. In
addition to what's posted below, there are two occasions where you can
audibly hear Bono whispering something. The first is about 1:57 into the
song. The other happens at about 2:03 seconds after the first. Both are
very brief. Can't make out the first at all, The second appears to begin
with Bono whispering something like "Some people ____ " or maybe "Some
thing _____ ". Where's Chris Jenkins when you really need him!??
Anyway, here are the lyrics for the new version for those interested.
Sweetest Thing
My love she throws me like a rubber ball
Oh, the sweetest thing
She won't catch me, or break my fall
Oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
but in this I'm a rain cloud
You know she wants a dry kind of love
Oh, the sweetest thing
I'm losing you,
I'm losing you,
Ain't love the sweetest thing?
I wanted to run but she made me crawl
Oh, the sweetest thing
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
Oh, the sweetest thing
I know I got black eyes, but they burn so brightly for her
Guess it's a blind kind of love
Oh, the sweetest thing
I'm losing you
I'm losing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing?
Ain't love the sweetest thing?
Blue eyed boy and this brown-eyed girl
Oh, the sweetest thing
You can sew it up, but you still see the tear
Oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
Ours is a stormy kind of love
Oh, the sweetest thing
The sweetest thing
Oh, the sweetest thing
Matt
