    Great song. Damn, I feel compelled to just go and pick this up at Walmart at midnight.

    What's the deal with "Uno, dos, tres, catorce... " and "hello, hello... hola" ???

    First KLOL is gone, now BONO and U2 singing in Spanish? Conspiracy, yes... ;)

    The Clash used spanish before.

    Always tease tease tease
    Siempre - coqetiando y enganyando
    You’re happy when I’m on my knees
    Me arrodilla y estas feliz
    One day is fine, next is black
    Un dias bien el otro negro
    So if you want me off your back
    Al rededar en tu espalda
    Well come on and let me know
    Me tienes que desir
    Should I stay or should I go?
    Me debo ir o que darme

    Check out the corrections on the grammar:
    Coqueteando y engañando
    Me arrodillo y estás feliz
    Un día bien y el otro negro
    Alrededor, en tu espalda
    Me tienes que decir
    ¿Me debo ir o quedarme?

    I was asking about why U2 steps out of order by saying "catorce" which is 14. I know many songs have used the "uno, dos, tres, cuatro" or any of those numbers to begin their songs... but why get out of order?

    I just copy pasted some lyrics, I didn't even look it over.



    As for saying catorce instead of quatro, we've talked about it before. Maybe he was just being silly or maybe it has to do with the amount of albums they've made.

    Cool, I hope they don't cut it down to like a half hour/22 minutes with commercials.

    after a couple more listens today i am really starting to like it more

    still over produced way too much to ever be compared to their early work.... but i am enjoying it more with ever listen

    also bought the Neil Young greatest hits, which is a great CD

    for something out of left fielf for you guys try the live double CD by the WAIFS they are an aussie folky type group that have played Austin and Texas a few times... great stuff
