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
