The official music video for With Or Without You by U2.
Filmed at Ardmore Studios in Bray, just outside Dublin, by Meiert Avis, this video for U2’s first US number 1 single released in March 1987 features additional footage by Matt Mahurin.
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side.
I wait for you.
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait– without you
With or without you
With or without you.
Through the storm, we reach the shore
You gave it all but I want more
And Im waiting for you–
With or without you
With or without you.
I cant live with or without you.
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.
My hands are tied, my body bruised
She got me with nothing to win
And nothing else to lose.
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.
With or without you
With or without you
I cant live
With or without you.
With or without you
With or without you
I cant live
With or without you
With or without you.
Lyrics:
Its the eye of the tiger
Its the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And hes watching us all with the eye of the tiger
They’ve been sayin, you’re sophisticated
They’re complaining — over-educated
You are saying all the words I’m dreaming
Say it after me
Say it after me
They will blame us, crucify, and shame us
We can’t help it if we are a problem
We are trying hard to get your attention
Climbing up your wall.
Climbing up your wall.
Don’t go there cause you’ll never return
I know you think of me when you think of her
But then it don’t make sense
when you’re trying hard to do the right thing
But without recompense
And then you did something wrong and they said it was great
And now you don’t know how you could ever complain
Because you’re all confused cause you want me to
But then you want me to do it the same as you
You were waiting for the elevator
You were saying all the words I’m dreaming
No more asking, questions or excuses
Information’s here, here and everywhere
Don’t go there cause you’ll never return
I know you think of me when you think of her
But then it don’t make sense
when your trying hard to do the right thing
But without recompense
And then you did something wrong and they said it was great
And now you don’t know how you could ever complain
Because you’re all confused cause you want me to
But then you want me to do….it the same way as you
But I don’t, I don’t want anything
I know it’s not, it’s not your fault
I don’t want anyone
As I do in life for you
Stockholders
Same shit different life
I‘ll get it right some time
Maybe not tonight

(I want my MTV)
Now look at them yo-yos thats the way you do it
You play the guitar on the M.T.V.
That aint workin thats the way you do it
Money for nothin and your chicks for free.
Now that aint workin thats the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys aint dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb.
We gotta install microwave ovens custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators we gotta move these color T.V.s.
The little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy thats his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot, hes a millionaire
We gotta install microwave ovens custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators we gotta move these color T.V.s.
I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda learned to play them drums
Look at that mama she got it stickin in the camera
Man we could have some fun
And hes up there, whats that? Hawaiian noises?
You bangin on the bongos like a chimpanzee
Oh that aint workin thats the way you do it
Get your money for nothin get your chicks for free.
We gotta install microwave ovens custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators we gotta move these color T.V.s.
Listen here
Now that aint workin thats the way to do it
You play the guitar on the M.T.V.
That aint workin thats the way you do it
Money for nothin and your chicks for free
Money for nothin and the chicks for free
(Get your) Money for nothin and chicks for free
Money for nothin and the chicks for free (I want my, I want my MTV)
Money for nothin and the chicks for free
