weren't they recording and mixing until the very last minute, facing
deadline pressure and eventually releasing an album they weren't entirely
happy with? (which is why they took the time to redo several of the singles)
the lyric sheet could have already been submitted for printing when bono
came up with those new improved lines
btw, i think there are a couple more inconsistencies. . .but right now the
only one that comes to mind is in DYFL
what's printed in the lyric sheet as "love's a bully, pushing and shoving"
sounds more like "love's coming, pushing and shoving"
tiny example, almost not worth mentioning, but there you go. . .
ok, how many of you were expecting me to say more on the drug thing?
