	One of my fav u2 songs, great lyrics from edge

	The live version on the Fire 12"/7" gatefold (and the German R.O.K. 12" & CD single) is much better than the Red Rocks version, in my opinion. I don't like the studio version as much because Martin Hannet's treatment of the drums is a distraction.

	This is one U2 song I've never quite figured out.. But I think coming from War fits in with those themes... to me, the line, "a painted face and we know we haven't long" refers to military people and camouflage paint.. children crying, etc points to some type of armed conflict happening...

	Seems to be a song about innocence and naivety in ways. An early version of City Of Blinding Lights if you will

	This is not one of my favorite songs. I don't think it stands out in the album. Though the lyrics are good. I like the line: "We thought that we had the answers It was the questions we had wrong"

	I think this is an amazing song. The sound resembles a clock (hence the title) the lyrics are hard to directly interpret but as a whole they are so true. Its about youth and their struggles, it sounds kind of dark and cold and is very powerful, i love the sound of the drums in this song, it goes so perfectly with edge's harsh sounding riffs. Then "Sad song, Sad song....." is so cold and beautiful. Its awesome!

	I love the live version of this from red rocks. I think its a very powerful song.
