The day has come at last. We have all heard the new single by now no doubt. I had to wait until I got home from work and have been home about half an hour and listened to it about 8 times!!! LOL
The first thing that I am struck by (and I know I will have it in my head all week!) is the fantastic riff at the beginning. It really draws you in, and shows that this is the perfect choice for the introduction to the new album, and will make a fantastic show opener.
The lyrics are fast and furious but I managed to get them down and have put them at the end of this post. Some great Bono-isms and the the pace of this is energetic and sexy. Love Bono's voice and the almost casual, throw-away attitude of the vocal. Pure rock and roll.
This song sounds like U2 and yet doesn't, if that makes sense. When you get into it, it is undeniably them... but the overall feel of it is new and fresh.
I officially approve.
It is acceptable!!!! LOL
Oh and Dave Fanning said that they will tour the world starting in June "or thereabouts". Oh God!!!
Get On Your Boots - Lyrics
The future needs a big kiss
Winds blow with a twist
Never seen a moon like this
Can you see it too?
Night is falling everywhere
Rockets hit the fun fair
Satan loves a bomb scare
But won't scare you
Hey...Sexy Boots
Get on your boots
Yeah
You free me from a dark dream
Candy floss, ice cream
All the kids are screaming but the ghosts aren't real
Here's where you gotta be
Love and community
Laughter is eternity
If joy is real
You don't know how... beautiful
You don't know how beautiful you are
You don't know
You don't get it do you
You don't know how beautiful you are
If someone starts to blow it up
We're into growing up
Women are the future
All the big revelations
I got a submarine
You got gasoline
I don't wanna talk about
Wars between nations
Not right now
Sexy boots
Get on your boots yeah
Sexy boots
You don't know how... beautiful
You don't know how beautiful you are
You don't know
You don't get it do you
You don't know how beautiful you are
Sexy boots
Get on your boots
(I don't wanna talk about the wars between the nations
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, down
God I'm going down
I don't wanna drown, down
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Let me in the sound
Get on your boots
Get on your boots
Get on your boots
Yeah hey hey hey
Yeah hey hey hey
Repeat to fade.....
