“I’d break bread and wine If there was a church I could receive in
’Cause I need it now”
I took these words from Acrobat, a song by U2. It’s an underrated song, but on the other hand, nothing on Achtung Baby should be considered underrated. It’s one of the greatest albums of all time.
Also, Acrobat does have its own Wikipedia article, so it’s not that underrated.
The song is full of angst and soul-searching. I really like the lyrics because they often resonate with the state of my soul.
From U2.com:
Don’t believe what you hear, don’t believe what you see
If you just close your eyes you can feel the enemy.
When I first met you girl, you had fire in your soul.
What happened t’your face of melting snow
Now it looks like this!
And you can swallow or you can spit
You can throw it up, or choke on it
And you can dream, so dream out loud
You know that your time is coming round
So don’t let the bastards grind you down.
No, nothing makes sense, nothing seems to fit.
I know you’d hit out if you only knew who to hit.
And I’d join the movement
If there was one I could…
