U2 - ''Bad'' (from "Rattle and Hum" movie)

(extracts from "Ruby Tuesday" and "Sympathy For The Devil", by The Rolling Stones)

If you twist and turn away

If you tear yourself in two again

If I could, yes I would

If I could, I would let it go

Surrender, dislocate

If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind

Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away

Into the night, and through the rain

Into the half light and through the flame

If I could, through myself, set your spirit free

I'd lead your heart away, see you break, break away

Into the light and to the day

To let it go and so to fade away

To let it go and so fade away

I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake, wide awake

I'm not sleeping

If you should ask, then maybe

They'd tell you what I would say

True colours fly in blue and black

Blue silken sky and burning flag

Colours crash, collide in blood-shot eyes

If I could, you know I would

If I could, I would let it go

This desperation, dislocation

Separation, condemnation

Revelation, in temptation

Isolation, desolation

Let it go and so to fade away

To let it go and so to fade away

To let it go and so to fade away

I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, wide awake

I'm not sleeping

Oh no, no, no
