We all know that U2 is a very passionate band and that Bono has this awesome way of ...not sure how to describe it..kind of like yelling and singing at the same time. Check out the first song---remember how he delivers the lines: I'm wide awake--but it's all at the top of his lungs. Remember that? And then the next song: Please, please, get up off your knees. That first please with all the passion of the world. Can't you just see the entire church feeling that song and getting into it? And why are they singing a song about getting off of your knees? Doesn't the church want them to pray? Awesome--why oh why did she not discover this in time for us to attend?
Your eyes make a circle, indeed.

Your link doesn't work for me :/
In lieu of recently canceled superfun times, we should do something else superfun.
Hmm. To be fair, in "Mysterious Ways" he says "On your knees, boy!"
Somehow though, I never did picture that as the sort of 'on your knees' during which a boy would pray.
Unless of course 'praying' is a euphemism for something quite different that young boys do. Come to think of it, I hear that form of 'praying' happens all the time in churches these days...
