"Uncovering the Truth"- Behind the Lyrics of "Get On Your Boots" by U2

"The future needs a big kiss

Winds blows with a twist

Never seen a moon like thisCan you see it too?
Night is falling everywhere

Rockets at the fun fair

Satan loves a bomb scare

But he won’t scare you


Hey, sexy boots

Get on your boots, yeah


You free me from the dark dream

Candy floss ice cream

All our kids are screaming

But the ghosts aren’t real
Here’s where we gotta be

Love and community

Laughter is eternity

If joy is real


You don’t know how beautiful

You don’t know how beautiful you are

You don’t know, and you don’t get it, do you?

You don’t know how beautiful you are


That’s someone’s stuff they’re blowing up

We’re into growing up

Women of the future

Hold the big revelations
I got a submarine

You got gasoline

I don’t want to talk about wars between nations
Not right now


Hey sexy boots

Get on your boots, yeah

Not right nowBossy boots


You don’t know how beautiful

You don’t know how beautiful you are

You don’t know, and you don’t get it, do you?

You don’t know how beautiful you are


Hey sexy boots

I don’t want to talk about the wars between the nations

Sexy boots, yeah
Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound, sound

Let me in the sound, sound

Meet me in the sound
Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound, nowGod,

I’m going down

I don’t wanna drown now

Meet me in the sound
Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound, sound

Let me in the sound, sound

Meet me in the sound


Get on your boots

Get on your boots

Get on your boots

Yeah hey hey"



Well, I was watching Vh1 today and found out from Bono himself that it is a love song, which I guess makes sense. Even funnier, is that the title "Get On Your Boots" is East African slang for put a condom on! And he did not even tell his band the meaning of the title until now! Ha, Ha! Oh, Bono, you slay me!
