Bono Presley

Elvis U2

Out of Tupelo, Mississippi, out of Memphis, Tennessee, came this green, sharkskin-suited girl chaser, wearing eye shadow -- a trucker-dandy white boy who must have risked his hide to act so black and dress so gay. This wasn't New York or even New Orleans; this was Memphis in the Fifties. This was punk rock. This was revolt. Elvis changed everything -- musically, sexually, politically. In Elvis, you had the whole lot; it's all there in that elastic voice and body. As he changed shape, so did the world: He was a Fifties-style icon who was what the Sixties were capable of, and then suddenly not. In the Seventies, he turned celebrity into a blood sport, but interestingly, the more he fell to Earth, the more godlike he became to his fans. His last performances showcase a voice even bigger than his gut, where you cry real tears as the music messiah sings his tired heart out, turning casino into temple.

      (Black flash)
      Black flash over my own love
      Tell me of my eyes
      Black flash come though my own life
      Telling these things
      And I believe them
      And I believe in you

      White flash sees the sky
      And it turns its side from you
      She won't turn my back
      And I know you turn so blue
      And you know
      And your sky is feeling blue
      And your heart
      So cold when I'm with you
      And you feel
      Like no one told you to
      And your time is your side
      And your time with me
      Ah, don't talk to me
      Ah, don't talk to me
      Don't talk to me

      You know
      Like no one told you how
      But you know
      Though the king that howls has howled
      But you feel like sentimental
      But you don't care
      If I just share it in your heart
      (Heart...)

      Hopelessly
      So hopelessly
      I'm breaking through for you and me
      And you don't
      Though no one told you to
      And you found out
      Where you were going, where to
      You're through with me
      But I know that you will be back
      For more

      And you know
      And though no one told you so
      And you know, blue sky
      Like a harder shade of blue
      And you walk
      When you want
      To let go
      Me, I'm the outside, tell me fade away
      Drop me down but don't break me
      In your sleep

      In your sleep, inside
      It's in your heart and mine
      Whole sea is dark
      It's in your heart and mine

      Sweetly, those will come
      Loving is on your side walking through
      So let me in your heart
      Your beat is like something...

      They...
      Run...
      See say you're sad and reach by
      So say you're sad above beside
      Oh stay sad above beside
      So stay sad above we said

      You know I don't
      No one told you how
      (And you don't)
      (And you wipe sweat off your white brow)
      And you care
      And no one told you tried
      And your heart
      Is left out from the side

      And the rain beats down
      And the shame goes down
      And this rain keeps on coming down
      And this sky
      Tonight...

      You know "S" "O" "N" "G", why
      You're going go join to God
      You know "S" "O" "N" "G", why
      Give away some him no lie
      Give away some my de day no

      You know
      And though no one told you sky
      And you feel
      Like you pretend you can
      You say go, you live
      Go live outside of me
      Don't you leave
      Don't leave out part of me
      Then I can feel
      Like I feel before
      Like I hurt now
      And I see the floor
      If you pick me up
      Bits and pieces on this floor
