Luckiest Man in the World
Présentation
Nous étions nombreux à espérer une véritable sortie de Mercy (seul titre de ce classement à n’avoir jamais été officiellement publié) en 2024, à l’occasion des vingt ans de How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. Mais U2 a préféré, une fois de plus, nous la faire à l’envers. Difficile de savoir si Luckiest Man in the World est une démo d’époque ou une version retravaillée plus tard, mais le résultat est plutôt frustrant. Le texte et la production apparaissent bien trop lisses, tandis que l’âme et l’authenticité de Mercy manquent cruellement à l’appel. Une sorte de point final pour un titre que U2 n’aura malheureusement jamais réussi à terminer.
Paroles
I was drinking some wine
And it turned to blood
What's the use of religion
If you're any good?
I know I'm weed killer honey
And you're sugar
But if I'm the prosecution
You'd get away with murder
You're ice, I'm water
And with your telescope
I can see further
We're binary code
A one and a zero
You wanted violins
And you got Nero
You're gravity
Searching for the ground
You're silence
Searching for a sound
Your heart is aching
Your heart has no home
It's fascinating
But you'd rather be alone
I'm ripping the stitches
You've been bandaging up
I'm digging the ditches
For relics of your love
Love hears when I lie
Love puts the blue back in my eye
The sand inside the pearl
You were the luckiest man in the world
If you're hunger
Well, let me feed it
If your heart is full
I'll be there to bleed it
And happiness is for
Those who don't really need it
You can love me
If you must
But why you always love me
Without trust?
I'm ripping the stitches
You've been bandaging up
I've been digging the ditches
For the relics of your love
Love hears when I lie
Love puts the blue back in my eye
The sand inside the pearl
You were the luckiest man in the world
Love's got to be with the weak
Only then love gets the chance to speak
The sand inside the pearl
You were the luckiest man in the world
But you didn't want to be
I, I can't escape myself
I hear you talk
Feel nothing
I feel nothing
I feel so much
Feel nothing
Ooh-ooh
These golden days go by
Holding the secrets of the sky
Love hears when I lie
Love puts the blue back in my eye
The sand inside the pearl
You were the luckiest man in the world
Love's got to be with the weak
Only then love gets the chance to speak
The sand inside the pearl
You were the luckiest man in the world
But you didn't want to be
I am alive
Baby, I'm born again and again and again
And again and again and again
And again
