U2 - Playboy Mansion Lyrics

Brilliant
Fresh prince of bel air
Carlton in the bunny hop line
Uncle Phil slaps his head
Hilarious ❤️🔥🇺🇸

Tanto MIA ❤️

Na mezza cagata sta canzone

REY DE REYES !!
Simplemente Me Encanta 🥰

Came from "ВУЗВ - Каролін"

Man...... Prince, U2, Michael, Bruce, Madonna, Whitney. We were so lucky back in the 80's.

Playboy....I have an extremely rare animal...an arctic fox. Hes completely hypoallergenic has hair not fur. Got.4 fingered paws. No tears. He yelps. There foxhounds so we bred them with American eskimos. He loves cheese. Been feeding it to him since he was a snowball hasnt affected him. He stays the perfect weight. His moms in a habitat. Half fox half spitz. M not R. Russian

I know you love this beautiful song

Still don't understand why this album being discriminated, underrated.

peace on earth . . . and NATO can give new light on a brighter future.

Este álbum era para ser lançado agora, em 2018... Atualíssimo depois de 20 anos

Love this song and the Pop album. Sadly one of the last great things they did.

should a playboy mansion be a big house?

I love these U2 bluesy songs like this and SO CRUEL. They have gotten away from this music.
LA County has just decided to "permanently protect" The Playboy Mansion last week. This means that the owner cannot demolish the house or make major changes. Let's open it as a theme park!

I've just rediscovered this song and this amazing album again after all of these years...a forgotten gem, thanks for posting.

I used to think this song and album were garbage but that was until I heard their last 3 albums which make this album look like a master piece

Sonzera demais ....

No, I dont feel loved. I dont know what love is as ive never experienced it.

Hugh has gone today and no better song to remind him than this

R.I.P. Hef

Rip hef

Cheers, Hugh......R.I.P.

più bella di una canzone di Marley!

Most of people won't notice, but this song is what the album speaks about... This song is the POP!

I like Pop..a lot, but for me this is the weakest track on the album. The dated pop culture references and the lazy sounding 'You Showed Me' sample hurt the song.

The only track from Pop they didn't attempt live.

the last good U2 record, they were never the same after the backlash because the casual fans and music industry simply didn't "Get it". PoP and POPMart were brilliant, just brilliant.

Exactly! one of the most underrated albums in history!

While I agree that it was brilliant and many didn't get it or like it... even though it had some straight up U2 rock songs, many blew it off as soon as Discoteque was released. I love it, all of it. However, "last good record"? No chance. The very next one was more than good...ATYCLB was great... even though it wasn't a "risk taker".

You are absolutely right. And Bono and U2 were so affected by this that it completely changed U2s story after that. Even saying it wasnt finished and shit like that. Pathetic by them.
The band was planning to release after Pop en even more crazy and far from this world record. I remember they were working on some songs like "Fantasia 2000" " New Milenial Jupiter Horse" and stuff like that. Imagine what would have been!
That stupid popcorn kids at the San Diego Popmart show ruined everything...

So kitschy but so good :)

This is U2 saying in 1997 that popular culture sucks balls.

Twenty years later and boy were they so true!

people have been saying this before electricity

Good song

Worst U2 song ever.

fuuuuck oooofff (at op, not you steve steve)

whos op?

OP = original poster

You haven't heard Miami or Unknown Caller than I assume.

No need to crap on the newest album you bitter old douche. Pop is great but so was Songs of Innocence. Any person who says this is awesome and then says Sleep Like a Baby or The Troubles or This is where you can reach me now is crap is a fucking fake ass poseur who thinks it's cool to slag U2's new stuff just because it's the in thing to do.

im a big fan of u2 i love all their song, but can someone explain to me what this song is all about????

it's about how unattainable our version of heaven is

Love Pop since i was 12. Now i think this is the best song on the album!

I don't necessarily care for the Michael Jackson or OJ Simpson stuff, but this song is pure gold starting from "I never bought a lotto ticket..."

There's so many things about this song that make it a beautiful song.

Slide
guitar
Calming voice
Clever lyrics
Guitar solo during verse
Chord progression
Fades out

10/10 rating for sure. This is my favorite song by them.

Totally agreed.

I would've loved to have seen what Bono could've come up with if he had left out those pop culture references and stuck with more lines like "If beauty is truth and surgery the fountain of youth" and "And perfume is an obsession and talk shows confession". Those lines are more ambiguous and match the other-worldly feel of the music, which is what the strongest suit of the lyrics on the Zooropa album was.

Zooropa much better, but this song & If God Will Send His Angels is beyond phenomenal!

Love this song

If they ever performed this live today, they should sing:
If Coke is a mystery,
Bruce Jenner history

I still have this CD in my collection. Fucking great album. Sucks for me because my CD player keeps skipping.

Love the production on this album.  One of my favs.  

U2 - The Playboy Mansion
come in my Mansion ...

Best song to get a striptease to, just sayin

"The banks, they're like cathedrals. I guess casinos took their place"
Brilliant

Not only does this have the most coolest guitar tune ever, some of Bono's most prophetic words ever are also here;

Michael Jackson... History

Awesome stuff...

Prophetic? It's not about Michael Jackson's death, it's a reference to MJ's album HIStory which was  released in 1995.

You want Prophetic lyrics listen to Please and then think about 9/11

I dont care what anyone says but this is their best album.

I wouldn't go that far, but I've heard the band malign it, and it's certainly one of my favorites. I'd argue that Zooropa is their best, followed by Achtung, Joshua, then Pop. I haven't paid as much attention since Atomic Bomb.

Psychedelic Electro Country.
Nice evolving music (as many U2 songs) and I'd sound great either on synths or acoustic guitar. Very avant-garde guitar and overall sound that is ageing really well.
Many U2 haters here as in every U2 video. It's OK.
Many people ignore a lot about recent music history (say... last 50 years) and even more about music: composition, theme evolution and development, musical transgression, forward thinking-composition-and-sound, innovation, and sheer melodic quality

Psychedelic Electro Country.

A great song.

@WhoDoYouWant Irony... or may be simple reality.

@Hallucination this song is by U2 how can it be anywhere near "cool" ???

"Pop" is a very good album but this is by far the worst song on the album! it's weak and pointless! this is not open to debate so please don't waste my time or yours!!

astroman2012 stupid idiot

You're a fucking tool. Not open to debate? I wonder how many people in real life think about punching you in the face on a daily basis. Oh and yeah I know you commented 5 years ago but I thought I'd waste your time with the notification. Douchebag.

@paulmanson Ehh, not the best lyrics, but it's a pretty song anyway.

THEY SUCK FOREVER ITS NOT SING ITS TORTURE

ok, this song ain't it chief, although U2 is amazing, the self depricating, ironic message of the late 90s is perfectly represented in this song. Listen to Achtung Baby for starters.

Just like you

This is probably the most underrated U2 album.

Chance is a kind of religion
Where you're damned for plain hard luck
I never did see that movie
I never did read that book
But love, come on down
And let my numbers come around

Don't know if I can hold on
Don't know if I'm that strong
Don't know if I can wait that long
'Til the colours come flashing
And the lights go on

this is the only u2 song that got in my nerves..."i never bought a lotto ticket i never parked in anyones space the banks theyr like cathedrals guess casinos took their place love come on down..chance is a kind of religion were down on plain hard luck i never did see that movie i never did read that book dont know if i can hold on dont know if im that strong dont know if i can wait that long til the colors come flash and the lights go on....then will there be no time for sorrow?"

@remnent7 Yes - i noticed it from the first time i heard Violet Hill. But then again it wouldnt be the first time that Coldplay borrows from U2 ;). They even used the same producer...

May 9th, 1997, my life forever changed when I saw these guys on their Popmart tour. I love this fuckin' song!

Brilliant

OMG... brilliant

@WhoDoYouWant OMG.. these lyrics are pure genius

Songs based on The Turtles "You Showed Me"...

such a relaxx song and the lyrics are amazing

this is their 2nd best album behind achtung. but not by much.

this was u2 in their experimental phase. I think the tepid fan reaction scared them into going more mainstream. which they have done on their 3 subsequent records.

I would encourage all u2 fans to listen to this record closely. the lyrics are deeper and the emotions explored are more complex.

@ 2005steelers


I agree, Pop is WAY underrated. Idk why, but this is the album I love the most of U2. And this song along with staring at the sun are my favs from POP.

same here

Pop is a very UNDER-RATED CD...and this song is really great.

Don't know if I'm that strong...
Don't know if I can wait that long...
Til the colors come flashing and the lights go on....

If U2 still made records like this one, I'd be the
first one in line at the record store. Blues is a lost art in our pop world. U2, do more songs like this and Angel Of Harlem. Come on, you owe us.

Amen to that

and too bad MJ is now for the history books...so ironic...in a way...but i love this song. Ahead of its time

wow that is cool

well, you're modded down, but I'm with you. Above all, it has character, it has daring. Ahhhh.

This came out in 1996.. O.J murdered his wife 2 years earlier and Michael Jackson just released History!

Yeah this song has humor to it!!

the best song...

he isn't sensual, he was doing a censure...
if you don't undenstend, he's saying that the society don't know what's to love.
the u2 band is a example to the world.

Has U2 ever performed this song in concert? And, if they have, does anyone have a video? If
you do, PLEASE PUT IT UP! Thanks.

This is easily the greatest track from the last album that U2 wanted to make for themselves and themselves alone!!!

hummmmmmmmmmmm, very sensuel bono ;) j'adore cette chanson dommage q'il n'y ai pas de clip officiel!!! Bono je t'aime!!
