Song Lyrics:
[Kerr=Normal; Bono=Italics; Both=Bold]
Forever you want, yeah
For the future
This is New Gold Dream
Come on!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-oh
La-la-la-la-la-la
New gold dream
Oh, she’s the one in front of me
Siren and the ecstasy
New gold dream
I hear crashing beats and fantasy
Setting sun in front of me
New gold dream
C’mon dream in a dream with me
And the world runs hot
And the city takes
And the beat goes crashing
All along that way
All along that way
She is your friend
Until the bitter end
And when you dream
Dream in a dream with me
And when we dream
Dream in a little dream
82-83-84-85
Ah-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
82-83-84-85
Ah-fa-fa-fa
New gold dream
Hey, she’s the one in front of me
Siren and the ecstasy
New gold dream
Ah, burning with an ecstasy
Crashing beats and fantasy
Dream in a dream with me
New gold dream
C’mon, dream in a dream with me
And the world goes hot
And the city takes
And the beat goes crashing
All along that way
All along that way
She is your friend
Until the bitter end
She’s your friend
Until the bitter end
Until the ocean breaks
Until the city takes
With your new gold dream
With my new gold dream
With your new gold dream
With my new gold dream
82-83-84-85
Ah-fa-fa-ba-ba-ba
82-83-84-85
Ah-pa-pa-pa
82-83-84-85
Ah-pa-pa-pa
82-83-84-85
Pa-pa-pa
New gold dream
New gold dream
Hey, hey
Shh
Hang on
For the second time tonight we make history
One, because there’s a mobile recording outside and you’re in here
And two, ah, I have to tell you a story
This guy, ah, this guy comes down to my door
On ah in London, eh
A peculiar fellow indeed
He said to me, ah
I wanna join the band
And I said you can
He says I’ve come all the way from Ireland
I haven’t got a job
I said, can you sing?
And he said, yeah, I think so
You can judge
All the way from Dublin
Bono!
Tolerable city of Great Britain, Glasgow
He is my friend
Till the bitter end
He is my friend
Till the bitter end
81-82-83-84
81-82-83-84
81-82-83-84
We will follow
Is my friend
Until the bitter end
She is your friend
Until the bitter end
Until the ocean takes
Until the ocean breaks
82-83-84-85
85-86-87-88…89…one
84-85-86-87
I’m in heaven
I’m in heaven
I’m in heaven
Here right now
Here in my eyes
On the sea
In the season
Don’t let go
In the land
In the world
It’s alive
Going up, up
Up, up, up, up
Up, up, up, up
Sing it with us
Take me to the river
Wash me in the water
Take me to the river
Wash me in the water
Take me to the river
Wash me in the water
Sing it
Wash me in the water
Take me to the river
Wash me in the water
Wash me in the water
Washing him down
He is my friend, he is my friend
Until the bitter end, until the bitter end
Until the oceans break, until the ocean waits
And the city takes, and the city takes
Until the bitter end, until the bitter end
I go up, up, up, up / 82, 84
Up, up, up, up
81-82-83-84 / Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
81-82-3-84
81-82-83-84
If I were to see you
If I were to city you
I said boy, boy, boy, you know
I couldn’t go much higher
Come on baby light my fire
Come on baby light my fire
Come on baby light my fire
(Try to set the night on fire)
Try to set the night on
Ah, try to set the night on
Try to set the night on
Try to set the night on
Come on baby light my fire
Come on baby light my fire
We go higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher
Higher…
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
Try to set this man on… fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Thank you
