Or the live change in Desire

"And the fever, when I'm inside her... DESI-I-I-I-IRE"

Oh. What's the original line then?!   :D :D :D

Then there's that live change to I Will Follow...   ::) ::)

Which I never understand. Can someone post it?
Don't forget the obvious:
She's slippery, you're slidin' down etc.etc. - the whole Mysterious Ways

Heard from E's earpiece recording (can't remember which show, but not from 360) - "I will swallow"

 :D

Very nice. E must have been giggling for the rest of the show then.

Ever since you told me that I cannot hear the song the same way.

They were men in their early 30's - I think that explains a lot!  ;)

Even Better is definitely all about sex then. I KNEW IT. Surprised it wasn't mentioned in @U2's list of sexiest U2 songs.

That's one of the many reasons that album is awesome; there was an article in (I think) Mother Jones in the late 80s where the interviewer commented that there wasn't a lot of eroticism in U2's songs at that point - s/he specifically used the lyrics of Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing and Prince's Little Red Corvette as a point of comparison when Bono tried to insist that there was a sexiness to U2's songs as of the Rattle & Hum era.

Compare R&H to AB, and there's a huge difference, although U2 hadn't yet shown us what they had up their sleeves yet.

Re: "I will swallow!" - that's hilarious  :D How have I not heard that story before?

I heard about "I will swallow" just three weeks ago myself (from a very reliable source).  ;)
