Newyarsday

I was cleaning out my room and I found an old book from when I was (probably) 11 years old.  At that time the only U2 songs I knew by name were New Year’s Day and With Or Without You (I also liked Bad, but I could never remember the name of the song, so I called it If I ). In this old book I tried to write the lyrics from New Year’s Day down and that resulted in this:

Newyarsday

I transcribed it:

yeeah!
(melody) [music]
world is fyerd on newyarsday
a world is fyerd is underway
i wonna by with you by with you newyarsday
nothing chances on newyarsday
on newyarsday
i wil by with you again 2x
2                                   a again

under a bludred sky
……………………… black and white
…..
say its frue its true running back for you
……………………………………………………..

40

I’m waiting impatiently for the shows
Waiting every day
Practising ohhooohhhooohoos
Wondering what they shall play

I  shall wait, wait for U2
I  shall wait, wait for U2

How long to wait for U2
How long to wait for U2
How long, how long, how long
How long to wait for U2

They are ready to rock
As Larry can affirm
We shall see
We shall see and hear

I  shall wait, wait for U2
I  shall wait, wait for U2
I  shall wait, wait for U2
I  shall wait, wait for U2

How long to wait for U2
How long to wait for U2
How long, how long, how long
How long to wait for U2

PS:
There are two reasons for naming this forty:

• It took forty minutes to write ;P
  
• The obvious
• And today it’s forty more days until 20 July ;)
