Lyrics:
If I couldn’t sing
How love’s the hardest easy thing
And if I couldn’t sing you my life
Hiding here in the spotlight
And if you couldn’t hear me
If I couldn’t feel
If I couldn’t feel your touch again
When nerve ends fray
And there’s nothing to say
Not even a prayer
It’s a beautiful night somewhere
Ohhh ohhh
If I couldn’t say it now
Tell me how
If this is love and love is all we’ve got
You can show me what it is
I can show you what it’s not
If this is love don’t act surprised when you get hurt
Even if our dreams lay in the dirt
We were once the greatest show on earth
Is that a smile or a tear?
Is it all show business here?
The cinema that is stained glass
You’re at the altar at our wedding mass
Is this a church of love or fear?
Have we made God feel like a stranger here?
Ohhh ohhh
Say it now
Tell me how
If this is love and love is all we’ve got
You can show me what it is
I can show you what it’s not
If this is love, we make cathedrals of our hurt
People digging their dreams out of the dirt
We were once the greatest show on earth
Love is a business that works at night
I sold myself for less than was right
You taught me what I was worth
In the greatest show on earth
Made a profession out of breaking your heart
You call it lies, I call it art
I was some of your best work
We were once the greatest show on earth
Love is a business you shouldn’t trust
Breathe on me and I’m love and I’m lust
Forever or a flirt?
The greatest show on earth
The light scatters things can get worse
These dark matters of the universe
Could not compete with us
We were once the greatest show on earth

So schön, ich bin total begeistert!😘
Beautiful Song !!
enorme! Gracias!
Anton Corbijn. Depeche mode . Where's The Revolution. U2 The Greatest Show On Earth . All the band members have beards at some point in the video.
Yes! U2 are realy back!
Just as true now as they've always been. I'm placing the U2 minifig band on the roof of my LEGO Rock-n-Roll Diner MOC project.
U2 ES Y SERA SIEMPRE ETERNA SU MÚSICA 🎼🎵😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂 SALUDOS DESDE ANDALUCÍA COSTA DEL SOL(ESPAÑA 🇪🇦)
Any One of GOD fan?
I read where the band collaborated with both Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois again…. No wonder.
Le clip est exceptionnel, plein d'originalité ❤
It would be nice if the professional lesson-giver that is Bono could pay taxes.
Sounds amazing ♥️
Pretty good…but it never takes off fully and reaches that apex. To me, 'Street of Dreams' was meh. 'Silencio' was a solid rocker. If the rest of the album is of this song's quality, it will be a very good record.
Great U2 songs sound like U2 songs but nothing like any other U2 songs. This is it.
GREAT SONG! An old fashion U2 song… I know, I could be critized to always refer to the their past sound, but I must admit that it is good to hear them coming back to some original ways 😉
God this is terrible. Ugh the imagery alone is too on point. Please God let them go. Ugh
La guitarra y la voz de Bono suenan magníficamente. Este te tema es auténtico U2
🇧🇷
♥️🙏
How do they do it, each listen it gets better. The tour will be out of this world. Like Popmart and Zoo TV had a child 😂
It sounds like Edge wrote an instrumental track and later Bono forced in some lyrics.
Fantásticos siempre 🙏💜✨
Brilhante, que canção magnífica!
U2 fabuloso.
Play , listen, repeat, after all we are all god’s children here, we are witnessing the greatest show on earth.
❤❤❤✝️✝️✝️💜🧡❤️😇. Love em.
What a voice still at 66 !!
Reminds me of landlady at the start. Stereophonic dakota. And a bit of take that in the chorus.
It's a good one I like it. There's a Shakespeare the tempest vibe going on too ✌️
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love the song sounds like U2 forever ✨💫💫🩵
Bono's vox just gets more bono.
Kudo's, Adam! JT DFW, going under the hood. 🧐💕👊🏿
I’ve been a U2 fan for three decades now, to me they are the greatest band ever. And this song sounds like old school U2. But it seems to me it’s missing something- how can I explain: if I show my wife (who can’t understand why I like U2 so much) One, Where the Street…, Sunday Bloody…, Beautiful Day, even Elevation or Vertigo or Discotheque, she will probably say “Ok, I get it” but if I show her this or their work over the last decade, I’m afraid I won’t convince her.
Bro don't chase Jamy Lee Curtis Bro playing guitar
I wonder if they revisited Death Valley for this video.
Bro of Michael Meyers
Great song but haven’t we passed the gimmicky stage of your careers. The mask thing is really stupid.
the religious message of this track is phenomenal
Take my money!
Eyes wide shut🤢🤮
They refuse to play Trump's America this tour.
I mean, woooooow. What a song!
And they still are ❤
Génial…
Autocelebrazione
Oh wow…. This is a powerful song and message I almost cried… Bono's voice is at it's all time best. The Sights… the Sounds! U2 is a band that has been fully revitalized! They set sail on a mission to make a statement that they have returned… It's Happening and I'm 100% on board!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song is amazing and very moving. I haven’t felt this good as a U2 fan for ages. It’s gonna be a great tour, see you on the road 🙋🏻♂️
Bono standing on a soapbox lol…. 😅
❤top
Thank you for being the most beautiful melody in my brain since my childhood.
