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.

The world wasn’t ready for Pop when it came out. It’s too distracted to discover it now.

I loved it at the time...and I have seen them play live twice...both times they played something from Pop and it was awesome one of the best parts of the show. For me though there just a few songs I skip and some U2 records I don't skip anything.

Larry was injured when they were finishing the album and in the end they didn’t finished the album. This single is the best proof (btw for Larry this is one of the best songs that they have ever made). In fact is the less electronic song of Pop.

Most underrated song from U2.

[@roc7880]

how about of god will send his angels?

[@Alan4Ray]

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 "The Gospel according to U2"

[@justinw1765]

Yah, I think there is some of that in there, but I think it's also about the long going political-religious conflict in Ireland as well. There are certain clues like the line, "Your Catholic blues..."

[@fabianapaulinadasilva7448]

The pop CD is full of mantras. The third time you listen to the songs played like in a different way. It's incredible!

[@williammaginness6534]

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

[@bullshark3000]

The live performance of this on mtv was breathtaking

[@brianbradley4564]

"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!!!
