I had driven to the scene of the accident and I sat there waiting for me

Otra del puñado de pequeñas maravillas que encierra el último de U2 (sí, también tiene bajones, que se le perdonan, porque el disco en su conjunto es el que debieron haber sacado tras el Pop, y no aquel medio disco titulado All that you can leave behind y luego el recomendable pero no del todo conseguido esfuerzo de How to dismantle an atomic bomb).

Ladys and gentlemen: “Unknown Caller” (U2, No line on the horizon) y su correspondiente letrita debajo. Aún no han sacado vídeo, ni sé si lo harán, así que relájense con la música simplemente.

(y al que no le levante el ánimo y le haga sentirse bien esta canción ya puede meterse trece gatorades entre pecho y espalda, que tampoco va a conseguir gran cosa…)

Sunshine, sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

I was lost between the midnight and the dawning
In a place of no consequence or company
3:33 when the numbers fell off the clock face
Speed dialling with no signal at all

Go, shout it out, rise up
Oh, oh
Escape yourself, and gravity
Hear me, cease to speak that I may speak
Shush now
Oh, oh
Force quit and move to trash

I was right there at the top of the bottom
On the edge of the known universe where I wanted to be
I had driven to the scene of the accident
And I sat there waiting for me

Restart and re-boot yourself
You’re free to go
Oh, oh
Shout for joy if you get the chance
Password, you, enter here, right now

Oh, oh
You know your name so punch it in
Hear me, cease to speak that I may speak
Shush now
Oh, oh
Then don’t move or say a thing
