Joshua Tree

In the howlin' wind
Comes a stingin' rain
See it drivin' nails
Into the souls on the tree of pain.

From the firefly
A red orange glow
See the face of fear
Runnin' scared in the valley below.

Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue.

In the locust wind
Comes a rattle and hum.
Jacob wrestled the angel
And the angel was overcome.

You plant a demon seed
You raise a flower of fire.
We see them burnin' crosses
See the flames, higher and higher.

Woh, woh, bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue.

Suit and tie comes up to me
His face red like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colours of a royal flush
And he's peelin' off those dollar bills
(Slappin' 'em down)
One hundred, two hundred.

And I can see those fighter planes
And I can see those fighter planes
Across the tin huts as children sleep
Through the alleys of a quiet city street.
Up the staircase to the first floor
We turn the key and slowly unlock the door
As a man breathes into his saxophone
And through the walls you hear the city groan.
Outside, is America
Outside, is America
America.

See across the field
See the sky ripped open
See the rain comin' through the gapin' wound
Howlin' the women and children
Who run into the arms
Of America.



O U2 já se chamou Feedback (devido às microfonias que aconteciam em seus ensaios) e The Hype.

O U2 foi considerado o melhor conjunto musical dos anos 80 pela revista Rolling Stone.

O garoto da capa de Boy, do U2 é Peter Rowan. Ele apareceu dois álbuns depois, na capa de War.

Bono Vox, que se chama Paul Hewson, pegou o apelido de um anúncio para deficientes auditivos. Já The Edge, nascido Dave Evans, tem esse apelido por causa de seu queixo.

O U2 compôs suas primeiras músicas sem saber tocar, e não faziam covers por falta de experiência musical.

A árvore da capa de The Joshue Tree, do U2, fica na Califórnia, mais precisamente no Death Valley.

O termo "Achtung" (de Achtung Baby) vem do alemão "atenção".
