"I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company
I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
I will not forsake, the colours that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I still listen through your ears, and through your eyes I can see
And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough, and you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now... my oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Oh love look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep...
I wasn't jumping... for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now
You're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass"

hey, _i_ said that. you stole my perfectly good u2 reference. bwa!
hope your day goes better today!!!
You didn't say I couldn't post it!!! Ultimately it is Bono's to steal, not yours :P
I feel like a sack of crap. Today will be liz's house of angst. Stole that too.
Soon I will be back singing Duran Duran in my car, as there are only *14 more sleeps*!!!!
yeah, that's true. re: it being bono's to steal and not mine.
someone had to make the house of angst comment.
I have this song for karoake. ^_^ I'm also feeling pretty miserable; I've got a head cold that is brutal. :-(
Sorry to hear that, but at least it's *after* the show. You now have time to be nursed back to health :)
Ah, the song written for Hutch.
I never knew that... makes even more sense now. How do I not know these things?
jay knows all.
Does Starsky have a song as well?
Bono spoke with Rolling Stone magazine and said the following:
"Speaking to Rolling Stone, Bono said that he and Hutchence, a close friend, had discussed suicide before he was found hanged in a Sydney hotel room in 1997: 'We discussed suicide a few times and we both agreed how pathetic it was.' He said they had 'kinda promised each other' neither would ever kill themselves.
'Stuck In A Moment... is an argument,' he said. 'It's a row between mates. You're kinda trying to wake them up out of an idea. In my case it's a row I didn't have while he was alive. I feel the biggest respect I could pay to him was not to write some stupid soppy fucking song, so I wrote a really tough, nasty little number... slapping him around the head. And I'm sorry, but that's how it came out of me'
Thanks for that, that was awesome! Awesome in the sense of Bono's description, not awesome in the sense that Hutch is dead.
Dave: booo-urns. But I laughed anyway.
