In A Little While Live From The Fleet Center Boston MA USA / 2001 by U2 Lyrics
[Intro]
“When we've started out we were, I guess fifteen, sixteen—Larry was fourteen, he still is—uh…The Ramones were THE band. And uh, without The Ramones it’s hard to imagine that we…that we would have felt like we felt about…ya know…joining a band and all
So this is a song that Joey Ramone loved, they played it to him when he was lying in his hospital bed, a couple of months back. It was the last song that Joey Ramone heard in his life here. And…that's an amazing thing for somebody who grew up as a fan of Joey Ramonе I can tell you that
Anyway, Joey turned this…song about a hangovеr into a, gospel song I think, 'cause that’s the way I always hear it now. For Joey Ramone's ears.”
[Verse 1]
In a little while
Surely you'll be mine
In a little while I'll be there
In a little while
This hurt will hurt no more
I'll be home, love
When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no air
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
WiIl you, be there?
(Check now)
(S'alright)
(Checking in my soul)
[Verse 2]
In a little while
I won't be blown every breeze
Friday night running
To Sunday on my knees
That girl, that girl
She's mine
Well I’ve know her since
Since she was a little girl
With Spanish eyes
Oh, when I saw her
In a pram they pushed her by
Oh my, how you’ve grown
Well it's been
It’s been a little while
[Bridge]
Man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocketship into the skies
He lives on a star that's dying in the night
And follows in the trail
The scatter of light
You turn me on
You turn me on
(Funky child)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
(Shine it in now)
[Outro: Bono, Bono & The Edge, The Edge]
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly love, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly love, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly love, slowly love
[Bono]
This is a family business
I'd like to uh… to introduce you to the uh…
The scientist in the family
A man who, who takes sexual pleasure in the collection of
Data
Wearing the number seven shirt this evening
Even his mother calls him “The Edge”
On security, the bodyguard of the band
The man who gave us our first job
And… keeps us in our first job
On the drums, Larry, Mullen, Junior…
(Come on)
Come on down
The jazz man, the musical conscience of the… of the family
The man whose instrument holds
Mysterious powers over womanfolk
The poshest member of U2
Adam Clayton ya'll
