"I fell in love in Chicago. I fell in love, in a hotel room, in Chicago. Listening to Miles Davis, A Kind of Blue; I didn't understand jazz. Didn't understand Miles Davis, or how his music could make me feel, until sitting in my hotel room, lookin' out the window, at this city, an Irish boy, 24 years old, and just lookin' around Chicago, I kinda understood Miles Davis somehow. Understood his music.
"And then, we, we fell in love with Chicago. We started out in clubs, I can't even remember the name of the club, but I remember walking out on tables, kissing people's girlfriends and drinking their wine. The microphone in my hand, there was a hundred people there, but we felt that Chicago had fallen in love with us. We don't really look that far back in our music; we don't look at the past. The best bits of the past, we try to bring with us. They're our songs, songs like Pride In The Name of Love, songs like Sunday Bloody Sunday, songs like Where The Streets Have No Name. They're the best bits of the past, and we'll take them with us. Cuz we're interested, and we're excited, and we have faith in the future. That's where we're headed; so, for a city of the future, this is our music, this is our, this is our thing we're strung out on; this is our drug... Miracle Drug."
I want a trip inside your head/spend the day there/hear the things you haven't said/see what you might see/want to hear you when you call/can you feel anything at all?/want to see your thoughts take shape/and walk right out
Cuz freedom has a scent/like the top of a newborn baby's head
The songs are in your eyes/I see them when you smile/I've seen enough/I'm not givin' up/On a Miracle Drug
