U2 - Stories for Boys Lyrics

Released: October 20, 1980

Songwriter: Larry Mullen Jr Adam Clayton The Edge (Guitarist) Bono

Producer: Steve Lillywhite

There's a place I go
When I am far away
There's a T.V. show
And I can play

Sometimes when a hero takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Oh, oh, oh

There's a picture book
With colour photographs
There's a comic strip
That makes me laugh

Sometimes away he takes me
Sometimes I don't let go

[Chorus (Repeated)]
Stories for boys

There's a place I go
And it's a part of me
There's a radio
And I will go

Sometimes a hero takes me
Sometimes I don't let go

[Chorus (Repeated)]

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.
