i've actually read where bono said that it was about "a guy beating up
his girlfriend for her faith" or something to that effect.
>I get the impression that the song is being narrated by a guy who >used
to be one of the devoutly faithful, but along the way has >become so
disillusioned with his faith that he's just about >abandoned it.
That's the impression I get. I have a hard time hearing the voice of a
batterer in that song. It doesn't sound like the voice of violence or
frustration; it sounds lost.
>Now am I the only one on the planet who thinks the album version is
>superior to the single?
possibly, I like the single version a bit more. it's more tender, more
vulnerable. (it better fits my interpertation of the song)
> And someone posted a while back what Bono says at the very
>very end of the song, a barely audible line. . .could somebody out
>there please remind me what it was?
Baby, just like that, you turn away from my love.
Peace, Love and Vegetables
