U2 - Landlady Lyrics






Roam, the phone is where I live til I get home
And when the doorbell rings you tell me that I have a key
I ask you, how you know it's me

The road, no road without a turn and if there was
The road would be too long
What keeps us standing in this view
Is the view that we can be brand new

The landlady takes me up in the air
I go, I go where I would not dare
Landlady shows me the stars up there
I'm weightless, weightless when she is there
And I'll never know, never know what starving poets meant
Cause when I was broke, it was you that always paid the rent

Space, her place is where I found my parking space
And when I'm losing ground, you know she gives it back to me
She whispers "don't do, just be"

The landlady takes me up in the air
I go, I go where I would not dare
Landlady shows me the stars up there
I'm weightless, weightless when she is there
And I'll never know, never know what starving poets meant
Cause when I was broke, it was you that always paid the rent

Every wave that broke me
Every song that wrote me
Every dawn that woke me
Was to get me home to you, see

Every soul that left me
Every heart that kept me
The strangers that protected me
To bring me back to you

Every magic potion
Every false emotion
How unswerving our devotion
To the lies we know are almost true

Every sweet confusion
Every grand illusion
I will win and call it losing
If the prize is not for you

    Roam, the phone is where I live 'til I get home
    And when the doorbell rings you tell me that I have a key
    I ask you, how you know it's me

    The road, no road without a turn and if there was
    The road would be too long
    What keeps us standing in this view
    Is the view that we can be brand new

    The landlady takes me up in the air
    I go, I go where I would not dare
    The landlady shows me the stars up there
    I'm weightless, weightless when she is there
    And I'll never know, never know what starving poets meant
    'Cause when I was broke, it was you that always paid the rent

    Space, her place is where I found my parking space
    And when I'm losing ground, you know she gives it back to me
    She whispers "don't do, just be"

    The landlady takes me up in the air
    I go, I go where I would not dare
    The landlady shows me the stars up there
    I'm weightless, weightless when she is there
    And I'll never know, never know what starving poets meant

  24. y.... ....

    Most perfect U2 song since Achtung Baby from the technical point of view.

  25. a.... P....

    dedicata a tutti coloro che li criticano perché...non sono più quelli di una volta. lo avete letto il testo? avete capito cosa scrive e come lo scrive? Caro Bono...continua così e non fermarti.

  27. J.... F....

    This album really took me by surprise. They seemed to be on their way out and then this came along. Superb album, perfect soundtrack to my Sri Lanka trip back in February. Love it 😁

    J.... F....

    It really is a fantastic album

  28. I.... B....

    beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.... a very energizing song ! feeling better after listened this !

  29. G.... B....

    Mamma mia che video

    G.... B....

    Infatti

  30. R.... D....

    best song ever

  31. M.... L....

    Questa è musica!

  32. m.... m....

    the most beautiful song I've heard!

  33. M.... B....

    Would have been a world wide hit if Bono changed Landlady to MyLover...seriously try it.  That and a few tweaks to the lyrics and a billion people can relate vs 300,000 trying to imagine themselves in it.  Pity.

    M.... B....

    Makes me cry..

    M.... B....

    Wonderful song.. touch deeply

  34. a.... P....

    l'ennesimo gioiello sfornato da questa band....pochi ma buoni negli ultimi tempi.

  35. D.... Z....

    Fantastici...come sempre

  36. A.... B....

    The outro verse reminds me of the ending of Walk On. I love it!

  37. d.... r....

    She whispers "don't do, just be"❤️

  39. E.... E....

    Wtf, when did this come out??? LOVE IT

    E.... E....

    2017...

  40. S.... R....

    It has a similar intro rhythm to "Raised By Wolves". It wouldn't surprise me if that was an intentional link. Makes me wonder what other little nuggets I might have missed between the two albums.

  41. D.... L....

    This album tells the world that Bono is a professional marvel of a man and his band mates are totally Awesome beautiful and Amazing!!☺

  42. J.... R....

    Song touch the heart

  43. E.... C....

    Bono's vocal reminds me of George Michael here, love it!

  44. I.... M....

    Simply to the best!!!!! I Love U2!!!!!

  45. d.... b....

    no band has aged like u2..stunning,relevant,fresh deeply moving.

  46. I.... E....

    U2 the biggest band on the World

  47. z.... l....

    one of the best songs of all times
    it deserves a grammy for song of the year
    U2 the best of all times

  48. T.... P....

    The most boring track on the album

  49. O.... ....

    I wonder if this is the last U2 album.

  50. c.... ....

    Every wave that broke me
    Every song that wrote me
    Every dawn that woke me
    Was to get me home to you, see

    Every soul that left me
    Every heart that kept me
    The strangers that protected me
    To bring me back to you

    Every magic potion
    Every false emotion
    How unswerving our devotion
    To the lies we know are almost true

    Every sweet confusion
    Every grand illusion
    I will win and call it losing
    If the prize is not for you...

    Bono still knows how to give me chills after all these many years.

  51. B.... Q....

    A Masterpiece

  52. P.... P....

    Great song

  53. H.... R....

    I hope U2 doesn’t make a video of this song and ruin it like they have with a few of the other new ones...you know...making it into a homosexual and transgender political statement.

    H.... R....

    Hav Risen what’s wrong with that they can do what ever they want with there music it doesn’t make it bad just cause it doesn’t agree with your political views.

    H.... R....

    I didn’t say they can’t do what they want with their music videos or that it’s bad. I certainly didn’t bring up political views, so what are you on about?

  54. L.... H....

    just perfect - U2

  55. S.... D....

    "I will win and call it losing
    If the prize is not for you"

    - "Real heavy lyrics. You're mighty young to be writing such heavy lyrics"

  56. B.... Q....

    Beautiful feel to this song, in every way, Congrats U2

  57. R.... M....

    A true masterpiece

  58. D.... B....

    This song just makes me happy.

    J.... M....

    They have only be doing that for 40 years!

  63. V.... B....

    Been a fan since boy album my favorite song of this album !!

  64. R.... L....

    Every YouTube message

  65. L.... B....

    The play on the words, their analogies: when I was broke, it was you who always paid the rent. WTF!!! I'm in love. This is so well written and said it's not even funny. I will win and call it losing if the prize is not for you.

  66. u.... ....

    U2 Masterpiece!

  77. A.... D....

    Amo questa Song! Pura poesia!

    A.... D....

    Antimo Dell'omo
    Realmente as músicas de U2 são como poesias... É emocionante ouvir...

  78. D.... L....

    U2? Simply the best.

  79. G.... ....

    U2 still a very very viable band indeed. Nice track!

  80. M.... T....

    The steady rhythm of the instrumentals reduces the potential depth that vocal could create. It is like hard ground but I want to go deeper, and personally for me the lack of notable bass in the middle part creates somewhat close to physical discomfort. The song is good and I am a fan but I start to discover how important technique is.

  81. W.... S....

    Linda demais!
    Pra SEMPRE U2!!!!!!!!!!

  82. M.... ....

    Beautiful

  83. M.... B....

    I love u2 because they always respect their fans with good music

  84. t.... f....

    Cette chanson est magnifique, elle nous emporte...loin
    Du vrai U2, merci j'adore!!!

  85. e.... ,....

    Before I was a man I was a landlady....oh no..titer ye not..tis true, nice tune

  86. T.... K....

    Best album ever!! OFF THE PLANET!!!

  87. F.... ....

    Un Capolavoro.

  88. A.... H....

    What a beautiful song, walking along the shore...

  89. A.... G....

    Brilliant!

  90. C.... T....

    Holy cow... better with age? These guys are unbelievable... beautiful melody, soulful lyric... cant wait to see/hear this live.

  91. A.... E....

    Amazing. Best Album in Yonks

  92. D.... H....

    I hope Bono just sings this with a lone spotlight on him sitting in a chair smoking a cigarette and drinking a pint.
