Larry Mullen quotes

And we live by the side of the road On the side of a hill As the valleys explode Dislocated, suffocated The land grows weary of its own.

If I could, you know I would. If I could, I would let it go. This desperation. Dislocation. Separation. Condemnation. Revelation. Temptation. Isolation. Desolation.Let it go, And so to fade away.

She's the candle burnin' in my room Yeah, I'm like the needle The needle and spoon Over the counter, with a shotgun Pretty soon, everybody's got one I'm in a fever, when I'm beside her Desire Desire.

Don't believe the devil I don't believe his book But the truth is not the same Without the lies he made up. Don't believe in excess Success is to give Don't believe in riches But you should see where I live. I, I believe in love.

Did I disappoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love And you want me to go without. Well it'sToo late Tonight To drag the past out into the light. We're one, but we're not the same. We get to Carry each other, Carry each other. One. (Larry Mullen)
In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows they'd learned to swim Surrounding me, going down on me Spilling over the brim Waves of regret and waves of joy. I reached out for the one I tried to destroy. You, you said you'd wait till the end of the world.
Larry Mullen
How far you gonna go before you lose your way back home? You been tryin' to throw your arms around the world.

It's the blind leading the blond It's the cops collecting for the cons. So where is the hope and Where is the faith and the love? What's that you say to me Does love light up your Christmas tree? The next minute you're blowing a fuse And the cartoon network turns into the news.
Larry Mullen
There was a badness that had its way Love was not lost, love will have its day.
