I have this ongoing joke with my daughter that I’m certain she secretly likes the band U2. She protests and explains that she thought it was messed up that they added an entire album to everyone’s playlist (at no cost, mind you! How dare they!). She said it was like they were trying to force people to listen to them.
I had been wondering where this U2 album in my iTunes came from. I was thinking that my second husband managed to access my account and download it. He was such a huge U2 fan.
Well the the funny thing is that whenever one of the songs would play in the car and my daughter would be riding with me, she’d go, “Hey, who is this? I like this song.”
I’d break the news and every time she’d go “Damnit!”
She hates that she likes every song on that free album.
So now... I leave you with the ear worm haunting me at the moment:
The Troubles by U2
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control
You think it’s easier
To put your finger on the trouble
When the trouble is you
And you think it’s easier
To know your own tricks
Well, it’s the hardest thing you’ll ever do
I have a will for survival
So you can hurt me
And then hurt me some more
I can live with denial
But you’re not my troubles anymore
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control
You think it’s easier
To give up on the trouble
If the trouble is destroying you
And you think it’s easier
But before you throw me a rope
It was the one thing I could hold on to
I have a will for survival
So you can hurt me
And then hurt me some more
I can live with denial
But you’re not my troubles anymore
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control
God knows it’s not easy
Taking on the shape of someone else’s pain
God now you can see me
I’m naked and I’m not afraid
My body’s sacred and I’m not ashamed
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control
