Mystery Saint Vs. U2 Part 1 (The last shall be first) "From Zoo TV to Zooropa"

Zooropa's glorious promise of the new Man, in sever shades, as confident and cunning in Science as Poetry, Better by Design. U2 have been there and they know.

U2 is fresh off it's triumph of having resurrected Berlin, tossing off their rough treatment at the hands of America and the bitch called the Blues, that Angel of Harlem. The Rattle and Hum has given way to a Computer Screen Glow. The inheritance of Europe's Doom.

There were Nazi prophecies in the Bible and Nostradamus and Helene Blavatsky.

Side One begins with ...

Zooropa- ambient opening with piano chords, The Edge comes in with a guitar sound that bounces and skips like a digital stone across a neon pond

Horoscope to Spectrescope

Drug Addicts and Poets- Business Men and Button Pushers

Zooropa- All Strife's Quelled! Entertainment, Shopping, Food!

Zooropa- Don't Fight, Just Shop!

Zooropa- But Hitler's Personal Clairvoyant was an Eastern European Jew!

Zooropa- America, Just Stay OUT of It!

Zooropa- Now Hitler travels in UFO's through the center of the Hollow Earth. He was known to have many doubles.

Zooropa- Coming back from the far side of the moon

Zooropa- Television and Flying Saucers. We sent a Rocket into Space!

Zooropa- End of the World Gospel (Further elaborated in Closing Theme; Johnny's Cash's "The Wanderer"

Zooropa- It's that time of Day (When people don't go Outside anymore...)

Babyface- Neon brush and bass-pedal soft-core

Numb- Touring Musician retreats into Valium and Computer Game inspired Coma and then tries to mumble his way out of a Paper Bag

Bono does Drag Queen Falsetto

Lemon

Bono does Drag Queen Falsetto

Lemon (Continued)
In the future most people have tried a Lemon once or twice, the citric acid burn on the tongue a fond memory. Flora and fauna have been driven from Mother Earth and the Human Race drags it's knuckles and curses.

Stay-

Just the bang and the clatter as an angel hits the ground

Mystery Saint Vs. U2 Part 3 "From Zoo TV to Zooropa"

Part 3 of the Happy Uniform Mystery Saint prickly heat telethon of Love, being principally the rest of side 2


Some days

you're quick

(or SPEEDY? "It's for my allergies!")

there's definitely something rackety and speedy about this song too

in the bed of the ARMY
in the bed of the ENEMY
ditto Jesus and His Mother
trying to make sense of what she said

The next song is The First Time, it's the usual U2 chord progression (Running to Stand Still, do I got to name more?) but I like this song's droning texture

and I feel myself going down

Bono does Drag Queen Falsetto and tells us his Father is a Rich Man

then why do you sing like a Hustler, why did you give up the Dream-Mansion?

Bono does Drag Queen Falsetto over the only two piano chords The Edge seems to know ("That's a guy's name")

Another song with the word Day in the title, this one's been "Dirty" so far

where ya aim ya just might hit, so not so tight

Bono does Drag Queen Falsetto about how "that's not how it used to be"

and the Edge makes a Heavenly Racket with his Rowdy-Guitar-Army

Father to Son, the Blood goes on, you can't raise a Cain

(I sometimes hit the skip button on this one)

And lastly Johnny Cash's Apocalyptic "The Wanderer" with it's eerie Synthesizer foam and Violin saw shriek

Yeah I went with nothing

Johnny Cash dining on molecular gastronomy at a Venusian Space Station where they
want the Kingdom but they don't want God in it

I went with nothing but the thought you'd be there too

This has been U2's Esoteric Masterpiece "Zooropa" Lovingly Explained

(the Word of God lay heavy on my heart)

Bono does Drag Queen Falsetto

Mystery Saint Vs. U2 (Part 2) "From Zoo TV to Zooropa"

I saw U2 on their Zoo TV Tour in Philadelphia at the Vet

whatever that means

just the bang and the clatter as an angel hits the ground

(hey, that works!)
here we come to side two and part two of this installment of The Mystery Saint Prickly Heat Telethon and Happy Hour of Love

Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car

David Bowie has a song I like called "Always crashing in the same car" Say didn't Brian Eno both produce that song by David Bowie and play on this song by U2. Brian Eno has some wierd Synchronicity with Cars.

Industrial Waste-Industrial Taste

Very Prescient now in our era of Heiresses

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr are you staying at the HILTON

rrrrrrrrrrrrr are you staying at the Hyatt?

fffffffffffff F- you like a billionaire! {Peaches}

Don't ask for whom the ominous trunpets sound, nor for whom the treated snare drum pounds, or those backwards rolls

you're a prescious stone, you're preciously stoned, Oxy, Ane and the Sticky Ick
