The official music video for Where The Streets Have No Name by U2.
An afternoon rooftop show above the Republic liquor store at 7th and Main was shut down by police as a result of the huge crowds that descended on downtown Los Angeles to see the band perform the opening track from The Joshua Tree album in March 1987 for this video by Meiert Avis.
I wanna run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls
That hold me inside.
I wanna reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name.
I wanna feel sunlight on my face.
I see the dust-cloud
Disappear without a trace.
I wanna take shelter
From the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name.
Were still building and burning down love
Burning down love.
And when I go there
I go there with you
(Its all I can do).
The citys a flood, and our love turns to rust.
Were beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust.
Ill show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name.
Were still building and burning down love
Burning down love.
And when I go there
I go there with you
(Its all I can do).
The official music video for With Or Without You by U2.
Filmed at Ardmore Studios in Bray, just outside Dublin, by Meiert Avis, this video for U2’s first US number 1 single released in March 1987 features additional footage by Matt Mahurin.
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side.
I wait for you.
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait– without you
With or without you
With or without you.
Through the storm, we reach the shore
You gave it all but I want more
And Im waiting for you–
With or without you
With or without you.
I cant live with or without you.
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.
My hands are tied, my body bruised
She got me with nothing to win
And nothing else to lose.
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.
With or without you
With or without you
I cant live
With or without you.
With or without you
With or without you
I cant live
With or without you
With or without you.
I cant believe the news today
I cant close my eyes and make it go away.
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
Cos tonight
We can be as one, tonight.
Broken bottles under childrens feet
Bodies strewn across the dead-end street.
But I wont heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall.
And the battles just begun
Theres many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
Cos tonight
We can be as one, tonight.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away.
Ill wipe your tears away.
Ill wipe your tears away.
Ill wipe your bloodshot eyes.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
And its true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality.
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die.
The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On…
The official music video for The Sweetest Thing by U2.
Directed by Kevin Godley, the video for Sweetest Thing features Bonos wife Ali Hewson as he attempts to apologise to her, enlisting the help of various performers including Boyzone, Steve Collins, Riverdance, the Artane Boys Band and the Celtic Knights.
My love, she throws me like a rubber ball
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
But she wont catch me or break my fall.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
Babys got blue skies up ahead
But in this, Im a raincloud
You know she wants a dry kind of love.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
Im losin you, Im losin you
Aint love the sweetest thing?
I wanted to run, but she made me crawl
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
I know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
I guess its a blind kind of love.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
Im losin you, Im losin you
Aint love the sweetest thing?
Aint love the sweetest thing?
Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
You can sew it up, but you still see the tear.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
Babys got blue skies up ahead
But in this, Im a rain-cloud,
Ours is a stormy kind of love.
(Oh, the sweetest thing.)
In an exclusive performance at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London, Adam, Bono, Edge and Larry play one the classic With Or Without You accompanied by an orchestra for U2 At The BBC — a special programme for BBC One.
