Stuck In A Moment You Can’t Get Out Of

Post Page Rank

And now, to cap my 3-in-a-row song posts for the day, I give you, U2′s “Stuck In A Moment”.
This is where I am right now. And this is what I sing to myself.

“Stuck In A Moment” is part of their 2000 album “All That You Can’t Leave Behind” which also includes my other U2 favorites “Elevation” and “Beautiful Day” — with “Elevation” having a truly smashing and amazing video. “Elevation” is also included in the “Tomb Raider: Lara Croft” movie which stars the luckiest woman alive for me — Angelina Jolie. It is this movie that made me a fan of hers.

You gotta love U2 and Bono. And boy, do I love Bono.

If you come to think of it –  U2, The Cranberries, The Corrs — Irish bands are just awesome. In a league of its own.

What can I say, everything is great about this song. Great video. Great lyrics. Great vocals. Well, you can expect nothing less from U2.

“Stuck In A Moment” by U2

I’m not afraid
Of anything in this world
There’s nothing you can throw at me
That I haven’t already heard

I’m just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby

You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment
And now you can’t get out of it

Don’t say that later will be better
Now you’re stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it

I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing

I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it’s tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don’t really need now
My, oh my

You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it

Oh love, look at you now
You’ve got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm ’til you discover how deep

I wasn’t jumping, for me it was a fall
It’s a long way down to nothing at all

You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it

Don’t say that later will be better
Now you’re stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won’t last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won’t last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass

It’s just a moment
This time will pass
