| Song lyrics |
|---|
The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now
Neon heart dayglo eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
For people like us
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground....
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Don't look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can't see
I've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?
And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
Time... time
Won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights
The more you know the less you feel
Some pray for others steal
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel... luckily

Sweet song, sortta cursi, yet it reminds me the great Unforgettable Fire era that was the very very best of U2 until Joshua Tree. | | 21-06-2005 20:39 66Leigha66 |

the kind of song that really describes "her' well. a really great song, one of, and if not, the best on this album, and one a U2's greatest.
My only complaint is the "Time....time...." part, kinda hurts the song. | | 11-10-2005 21:39 Music_G |

Beautiful song... i just love the melody and the eco of Edges guitar...
The rhythm: You can't hear the drums very good on the album. but live, they are brilliant. the basse is good to
Melody: Easy but genius. Very U2 like melody. i love it
Instruments: Brilliant
Lyrics: Half of the music is the lyrics. My favourite part is: belssing is not yust for the one's who kneal.
Vocal: Bono is Bono. A exelent singer

Fantastic opener for their Vertigo show. Makes you feel all giddy and goosebumpy as soon as you hear Larry on the drums starting up.. And the visuals!! AMAZING!! I can't stress it enough, see them LIVE!!!
Do these guys ever go wrong?! Their music is so universal and always great to listen to, especially since its so meaningful and intent is inspiring! | | 28-11-2006 03:25 lilrhino2boot |

I actually love the whole song, but the last line really sticks out.
