Today's prompt for the #SLS is animal - thanks Jim - and I'm going with the song "Raised By Wolves" by U2. This was on the Songs of Innocence album which was released by Apple for free to everyone who had iTunes. I remember at the time there was some controversy about this because there were people who said they didn't like U2 and didn't want to be "forced" to listen to it or have it take up space on their devices or whatever. For me, while I have liked a few U2 songs, I'm not a big fan but I took a listen since it was free and I really liked some of the songs. This is one of them.
Face down on a broken street
There’s a man in the corner
In a pool of misery
I’m in white van
As a red sea covers the ground
There’s a man in the corner
In a pool of misery
I’m in white van
As a red sea covers the ground
Metal crash
I can’t tell what it is
But I take a look
And now I’m sorry I did
5:30 on a Friday night
Thirty three good people cut down
I can’t tell what it is
But I take a look
And now I’m sorry I did
5:30 on a Friday night
Thirty three good people cut down
I don’t believe anymore
I don’t believe anymore
I don’t believe anymore
Face down on a pillow of shame
There are some girls with a needle
Tryin’ to spell my name
My body’s not a canvas
My body’s now a toilet wall
There are some girls with a needle
Tryin’ to spell my name
My body’s not a canvas
My body’s now a toilet wall
I don’t believe anymore
I don’t believe anymore
I don’t believe anymore
Raised by wolves
Stronger than fear
Raised by wolves
We were raised by wolves
Raised by wolves
Stronger than fear
If I open my eyes
You disappear
Stronger than fear
Raised by wolves
We were raised by wolves
Raised by wolves
Stronger than fear
If I open my eyes
You disappear
Running wild
Running wild
Running wild
Boy sees his father
Crushed under the weight
Of a cross in a passion
Where the passion is hate
Blue mink Ford
I’m gonna detonate in your den
Crushed under the weight
Of a cross in a passion
Where the passion is hate
Blue mink Ford
I’m gonna detonate in your den
This is a pretty cool video.
We haven't seen U2 in concert but I hear they put on a spectacular show.
And that's your Song Lyric Sunday for March 10. I'm hoping to get some more things moved into the new studio today. Hopefully the rain will stay away for a while.
