Music Tracks: Desire by U2

Dar: Rattle and Hum

Dar: Rock

Dar: 1988

Dar: (Yeah)

Lover, I'm on the street
Gonna go where the bright lights
And the big city meet
With a red guitar...on fire
Desire

She's a candle burning in my room
Yeah I'm like the needle, needle and spoon
Over the counter with a shotgun
Pretty soon everybody got one
And the fever when I'm beside her
Desire, desire...

And the fever...getting higher
Desire, desire...burning, burning

She's the dollars
She's my protection
Yeah she's a promise
In the year of election
Oh sister, I can't let you go
Like a preacher stealing hearts
At a traveling show
For love or money money money
money money money money money
money money money
And the fever, getting higher
Desire, desire, desire, desire
Desire, desire

Dar: Desire" is the lead single from U2's 1988 album, Rattle and Hum. It was also their first #1 single in the UK and their first #1 on the newly-instated

Dar: Get it on your car stereo - turn it up really loud and drive - then you will understand the reasons for me submitting it

Dar: "Desire"'s B-side "Hallelujah (Here She Comes)" has never been played in full live by U2 but was debatably snippeted once during "Bullet the Blue Sky".[
