[Verse 1]
In the days
When we were swinging from the trees
I was a monkey
Stealing honey from a swarm of bees
I could taste
I could taste you even then
And I would chase you down the wind

[Chorus 1]
You could go there if you please
Wild honey
And if you go there, go with me
Wild honey

[Verse 2]
Did I know you?
Did I know you even then?
Before the clocks kept time
Before the world was made
From the cruel sun
You were shelter
You were my shelter and my shade

[Chorus 2]
If you go there with me
Wild honey
You can do just what you please
Wild honey
Yeah, just blowing in the breeze
Wild honey
Wild, wild, wild

[Verse 3]
I'm still standing, I'm still standing
Where you left me
Are you still growing wild
With everything tame around you?
I send you flowers
Cut flowers for your hall
I know your garden's full
But is there sweetness at all?

[Bridge]
Oh oh oh
What is soul?
Love me
Give me soul

[Chorus 3]
If you go there, go with me
Wild honey
Won't you take me, take me please?
Wild honey
Yeah, swinging through the trees
Wild honey
Wild, wild, wild

U2

U2 is an Irish rock band from Dublin, which started in post-punk but soon incorporated elements from various musical genres (funk, electronica, blues). Composed of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr (drums and percussion), the band is noted for a sound built on melodic instrumentals, and lyrics, filled with spiritual imagery, personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. U2 sold more than 150 million records worldwide, and created some of the most lavish, memorable and profitable concert tours in history. Their success also helped the bandmembers advocate for human rights and philanthropic causes.
