U2 "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of" (live from Slane)

"I think other people who have lost a mate to suicide will all tell you the same thing-just the overpowering guilt that you weren't there for that person. As anyone around here will tell you, friendship is a thing that I hold very sacred. Cocteau, I think he only wrote one serious essay in his life, and it was on the subject of friendship-friendship is higher than love... Can you really be that busy that you don't notice your mate on the slide, as it were?... I just remember feeling this overpowering sense of guilt. And then anger. and then annoyance. That song is an argument. It's a row between mates. You're trying to slap somebody around the face, trying to wake them up out of an idea. In my case it's a row I didn't have while he was alive." - Bono, Rolling Stone 2001.

Hey yeah, yeah now

Love song

Soul

I'm not afraid of anything in this world

There's nothing you can throw at me 

That I haven't already heard

I'm just trying to find a decent melody

A song that I can sing in my own company, love

Never thought you were a fool

But darling, look at you

You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight

These tears are going nowhere, baby

You've got to get yourself together

You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of

Don't say that later will be better

Now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it

I will not forsake the colours that you bring

But the nights you filled with fireworks

They left you with nothing

I am still enchanted by a light you brought to me

Still listen through your ears

Through your eyes I can see

You are such a fool to worry like you do

I know it's tough and you can never get enough 

Of what you don't really need now, my oh my

You've got to get yourself together

You've got stuck in a moment, now you can't get out of it

Oh love, look at you now

You've got yourself stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep

The water is warm till you discover how deep

I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall

It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together

You've got stuck in a moment, now you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better

Now you're stuck in a moment, now you can't get out of it

Sing, Edge

And if the night runs over

And if the day won't last

And if your way should falter

Along that stony pass

And if the night runs over

And if the days won't last

And if your way should falter

Along this stony pass

It's just a moment, this time will pass
