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
brought to you by
The Mystery Saint's Sugar-Bowl-of-Infinite-Forgiveness
(strange car alarm beeping and that's all she wrote... power down...)
