I liked them. But, when I listen to the beat, which is quick, and listen to the correct lyrics, I can hear a message for all of us, yes, including women, to get on our boots, sexy boots, bossy boots, and stand up against the evils of the world before it's too late, quickly! <br /><br />"You don't know, you don't get it, do you... you don't know how beautiful you are..." the beauty lies within grace. Listen to the lyrics again. They are beautiful, but listen to the beat too, it's fast, quick, urgent! <br /><br />BTW there is no "and" in the line... it is simply, "you don't know, you don't get it, do you?"Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01022874754246775986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726895070295610906.post-74460304128081270842009-08-20T10:20:21.724-05:002009-08-20T10:20:21.724-05:00I think this song refers to the Isaiah passage abo...I think this song refers to the Isaiah passage about how beautiful are the feet of them that bring good news!!

While I believe Edge is quoted on U2.com saying that the idea behind the song is that women should take charge, I think it's undeniable that this song has its Christian influences, like many other U2 songs.<BR/><BR/>PS: U2.com just absolutely stinks. It's a good thing that when I paid to join the online community, I also got a nice t-shirt and a couple CDs. Those made it worth the cost. I wish they would hurry up and put up a replacement web site.Lance E Sloanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02739607152411100305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726895070295610906.post-42000126898928331002009-02-15T01:49:00.000-06:002009-02-15T01:49:00.000-06:00I've been reading your post. I think this song has...I've been reading your post. I think this song has much more of the present than of the past.<BR/><BR/>There are verses or parts of verses I cannot interpret. <BR/><BR/>Initially I though it was a song about a cold war going on. The verse "the future needs a big kiss, winds blow with a twist" is the call for the need. "Night is falling everywhere, rockets at the funfair" means nothing but that yes...the world is in darkness and weapons are toys for who wouldn't have to fight. The verse "Satan loves the bomb scare, but he won't scare you" reminds me (maybe because of my geographical location) of the trials with bombs, rockets and weapons being done by Chávez and Puttin here, next to the caribbean coasts. However, what I think in this verse is far apart from what I feel from it.I feel the message is purely spiritual to all of us, or even to God, a throw of faith.<BR/><BR/>"All our kids are screaming but the ghosts aren't real" is just the human tendency to be indiferent with known real dangers in the world as a whole, which kids cannot ignore and face scared.<BR/><BR/>"Here's what we gotta be love and community" is literal for me. I still don't get "Laughter is eternity if joy is real" It looks to me like a protest against the sarcasm of the "Clowny laughy" presidents in the world. <BR/><BR/>"If someone's into blowing up, we are into growing up" is the big idea behind this song, which I will summarize at the end. "I got a submarine, you got gasoline, I don't wanna talk about wars between nations" for me is just talking about the fact that Venezuela gives gas to Rusia and Russia gives weapons to Venezuela in order to temptate a War with Colombia and (or) the United states.<BR/><BR/>The chorus is simply a call for us to put in place for our humanity and to act accordingly to our responsabilities as humans and as a race. "Sexy boots" is just the particular call for those girls living in the far world of fashion, ignoring the present and the human problems. Then "Foxy boots" is another particular call.<BR/><BR/>"You don't know how beautiful you are. You don't know , you don't get it" is Bono's faith in the human nature and love. So this is why he calls so loud. <BR/><BR/>"Let me in the sound..." is the "I want to feel it, let me feel the sound of evil and wars, don't let us be indiferent". "My god, I'm coming down, I don't wanna drown now" looks more like a mofo verse and seems to be of sorrow.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for filling your blog abussively =). <BR/><BR/>I read a version which states that it is a song that Bono writes to the band (ofcourse, this makes a lot of sense if you think of it).<BR/><BR/>Maybe I can write about that version later.

The God of the bible is a HOLY God. Nowhere in his word can I find Paul referring to "sexy boots" as "meaning His love and grace." Brother, let the world (with U2 in it) be the world, and Christ be our world.theonemessengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02531765851584699731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726895070295610906.post-29576044785803370632009-02-04T11:14:00.000-06:002009-02-04T11:14:00.000-06:00thanks for the right lyrics; glad to know even as ...thanks for the right lyrics; glad to know even as I age that my hearing is still ok...I just got them from a U2 sight out there, probably not an official site.The Bobospherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13469732747403957795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726895070295610906.post-72849593904684034342009-02-01T07:42:00.000-06:002009-02-01T07:42:00.000-06:00I am off to ITunes to download it now thanks Bob!L...I am off to ITunes to download it now thanks Bob!<BR/>Larryfischer.net<BR/>thecampingpro.comLarry Fischerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424556785831526820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5726895070295610906.post-3214812409789257852009-01-29T23:17:00.000-06:002009-01-29T23:17:00.000-06:00Well, you were right in what you thought you were ...Well, you were right in what you thought you were hearing on the lyrics.
