new U2

A new music video from U2’s new album (out shortly) is available from an Irish newspaper. I am a U2 fan, loved U2 3D and might, maybe get to see it again a week from tonite… but I am an old guy. I love the music of U2 because most of it is socially responsible and provocative in a positive way. This video is just that, provocative. It seems, after three viewings, that this video returns to the important U2 theme of anti war… another theme seems to be to urge the recognition of one’s own beauty, and I may have totally missed that. The point I wish to make is that, in my opinion, the most provocative things are the images in the video not the lyric (I found the lyrics and put them in a comment)… some readers of this blog will most likely find some of the images troubling from the standpoint of violence and/or they are sexualy suggestive (I wonder what the PhD who wrote the paper thinks -see previous post) … so consider yourself warned… now just “Get On Your Boots” and click HERE — OH! BE SURE TO GO FULL SCREEN AND TURN UP YOUR SPEAKERS!

    U2 – Get On Your Boots lyrics
    Future needs a big kiss
    Winds blow with a twist
    Never seen a move like this
    Can you see it too
    Night is falling everywhere
    Rockets hit the funfair
    Satan loves a bomb scare
    But it won’t scare you

    Hey…Sexy Boots
    Get on your Boots
    Yeah…

    Free me from the dark dream
    Candy bars, ice cream
    All the kids are screaming but the ghosts arent real
    Heres what you gotta be
    Love & community
    Laughter is eternity if the joy is real

    You dont know how beautiful
    You dont know how beautiful
    You are…
    You dont know
    You get it do you
    You dont know
    How beautiful you are…

    If someones into blowing up
    Were into growing up
    Women are the future
    All the big revelations
    Ive gotta submarine
    Youve got gasoline
    I dont wanna talk about wars between nations
    Not right now

    Sexy Boots
    Get on your Boots
    Yeah…
    Foxy boots

    You dont know how beautiful
    You dont know how beautiful
    You are…

    Sexy Boots
    I dont wanna talk about wars

    Let me in the sound
    Let me in the sound
    Let me in the sound
    My God Im going down
    I dont wanna drown now
    Let me in the sound

    Let me in the sound
    Let me in the sound
    Let me in the sound

    Get on your Boots
    Get on your Boots
    Yeah…
