    Lyrics:
    So you never knew love
    Until you crossed the line of grace.
    And you never felt wanted
    Till you'd someone slap your face.
    So you never felt alive
    Until you'd almost wasted away.
    You had to win, you couldn't just pass
    The smartest ass at the top of the class
    Your flying colours, your family tree
    And all your lessons in history.
    Please, please, please
    Get up off your knees.
    Please, please, please, please, oh yeah.
    And you never knew how low you'd stoop
    To make that call
    And you never knew what was on the ground
    Till they made you crawl.
    So you never knew that the heaven
    You keep you stole.
    Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes,
    Your stick-on tattoos now they're making the news
    Your holy war, your northern star
    Your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car.
    Please, please, please
    Get up off your knees.
    Please, please, please
    Leave me out of this, please.
    So love is hard
    And love is tough
    But love is not
    What you're thinking of.
    September, streets capsizing
    Spilling over down the drains
    Shard of glass, splinters like rain
    But you could only feel your own pain.
    October, talk getting nowhere.
    November, December; remember
    We just started again.
    Please, please, please
    Get up off your knees, yeah.
    Please, please, please, please, ah.
    So love is big
    Is bigger than us.
    But love is not
    What you're thinking of.
    It's what lovers deal
    It's what lovers steal
    You know I've found it
    Hard to receive
    'Cause you, my love
    I could never believe.

    This Lyrically magical and meticulously thought out cut, is one that I always have to go back to when I want to learn about humility...the reality that we talk and act out out own Godliness, (Holiness) is a joke compared to what the reality is of out true beings...we are by nature judgemental, players in an act of self righteous behaviors, and can't even notice the ones right in front of us who need our help and Love. I know that I am being dramatic, but the truth is that this video touches deep in my soul everytime that I watch it. I really gained a lot of respect for Bono and U2 after seeing this video on the 90's - 2000 CD that I use to call

    Such a painful song, i still remember listening for the first time on 97.
    Nothing changes listening on 21, can feel at the same way. I would listen hundreds times and never lose a shiver. It's more than just a great song, it's more and remember that we are just starting again. Just love and pain.

    My U2 fav song. With Acrobat, Exit it's big 3 of less known but on of the best U2 songs. Album version is crude, but this and especially live version... masterpiece.

    This is a slow rock athem that helped bring about peace in Northern Ireland it healed the troubles what I like about U2 is I look at them as peacemakers even with all the chaos U2 sing for unity and that love will conquer hate in the end. It's doesn't matter what side of what religious allegiance that you align with or don't it's loving your neighbor as yourself

    This version is SO much better than the album version, which I didn't really take much notice of when I listened to Pop back in the day. Had this version been on it, it would have likely been my second favorite track on Pop, after Mofo.

    "Love is not what you're thinking of." Tough, and true no BS rock and roll here. This song strengthens faith even when you crawl. Live, the band puts every ounce of energy into this song climaxing in that solo and Bono cry/yell as Adam and Larry thunder it forward as it ends in a whispering falsetto. Edge's riff just before the "September...." lyric is so perfect and one I enjoyed trying to play on guitar. The remix version is better than the album version. Let's never forget that this song deals with serious and deeply emotional issues of faith, politics, war, brotherhood/sisterhood, justice, and a slap that is a welcome slap in the face during a time when I remember a lot of nonsense in the music industry. The album rocks, and is deep and complicated musically and lyrically. Loved the experimentation with electronics and the risk the band took and I believe opened gates for other artists. It needs a LIVE revival on tour!!!

    So you never knew love
    Until you crossed the line of grace
    Then you never felt wanted
    'Till you had someone slap your face
    So you never felt alive
    Until you almost wasted away
    You had to win
    You couldn't just pass
    The smartest ass
    At the top of the class
    Your flying colors
    Your family tree
    And all your lessons in history
    Please
    Please
    Please
    Get up off your knees
    Please
    Please
    Please
    Please
    So you never knew
    How low you'd stoop to make that call
    And you never knew
    What was on the ground 'till they mad you crawl
    So you never knew that
    The heaven you keep you stole
    Your catholic blues
    Your convent shoes
    Your stick on tattoos
    Now they're making the news
    Your holy war
    Your northern star
    Your sermon on the mount
    From the booth of your car
    Please
    Please
    Please
    Get up off your knees
    Please
    Please
    Please
    Leave me out of this
    So love is hard and love is tough
    But love is not what you're thinking of
    September
    Streets capsizing
    Spilling over
    Down the drain
    Shards of glass splinters like rain
    But you could only feel
    Your own pain
    October
    Talking getting nowhere
    November
    December
    Remember
    Are we just starting again
    Please
    Please
    Please
    Get up off your knees
    Please
    Please
    Please
    Please
    So love is big, bigger than us
    But love is not what your thinking of
    It's what lovers deal
    It's what lovers steal
    You know I've found it hard to receive
    'Cause you my love I could never believe

    No fancy shades, no masks, this is U2 stripped down to the bone. All U2 is actually about. Lyrics a little indirect which is great, because with words direct, half of them would be beeped explicits. 20 years of masterminding heaviest metal ever - and suddenly, I found this song to be heavier and more deadly than most of Slayer's work.

    rikiradish i was at the pop concert and this was the song that made the night. i hear a lot of u2 fans critisizing this album and how it is not like autung baby or joushau tree or....... but i thank u2 and other bands who do not get stuck in thier box of success and keep putting out music in what they think their fans or others want to hear. U2 has always come accross as a band to me that always put out what they love to listen too first. one of the greatest bands ever!
