The Ocean (Live from Boston, MA, Mar. 6, 1981 - Encore - Fade Out)

(02:12)

Song Lyrics:

Picture in grey
Dorian Gray
Just me by the sea

And I felt like a star
I felt the world could go far
If they’d listen
To what I said
Anyway

Washes my feet
Uh huh
Splashes the sole
Of my shoes

Thank you

Did you know that?

This track first appeared on the “Fire” single in 1981 at 2:12 in length. On “The Complete U2” in 2004 it was 2:19 in length. On “October (Remastered) in 2008 it was 2:15 in length. The minor differences in track length can be attributed to the imprecise editing of live tracks. On “The Complete U2” the track does not fade in, it is part of a continuous live show. On the remastered version of “October” it both fades in and fades out at the start and the end. On the “Fire” single the song continues from the previous track and so does not fade in but does fade out.
