U2

U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin. Formed in 1976, the group consists of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums and percussion). U2's early sound was rooted in post-punk but eventually grew to incorporate influences from many genres of popular music. Throughout the group's musical pursuits, they have maintained a sound built on melodic instrumentals, highlighted by The Edge's timbrally varied guitar sounds and Bono's expressive vocals. Their lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. more »

Baby slow down 
The end is not as fun as the start 
Please stay a child somewhere in your heart 

I'll give you everything you want 
Except the thing that you want 
You are the first one of your kind 

And you feel like no-one before 
You steal right under my door 
And I kneel 'cause I want you some more 
I want the lot of what you got 
And I want nothing that you're not 

Everywhere you go you shout it 
You don't have to be shy about it 

Some things you shouldn't get too good at 
Like smiling, crying and celebrity 
Some people got way too much confidence baby 

I'll give you everything you want 
Except the thing that you want 
You are the first one of your kind 

And you feel like no-one before 
You steal right under my door 
I kneel 'cause I want you some more 
I want the lot of what you got 
And I want nothing that you're not 

Everywhere you go you shout it 
You don't have to be shy about it, no 
And you'll never be alone 
Come on now show your soul 
You've been keeping your love under control 

Everywhere you go you shout it 
You don't have to be shy about it 
Everywhere you go you shout it 
Oh my my 

And you feel like no-one before 
You steal right under my door 
I kneel 'cause I want you some more 
I want you some more, I want you some more...
