Helter Skelter
Ci fu qualcuno che si mise a ridere quando gli U2 dissero che avevano scelto questo brano come apertura. Per la band però rappresentava tutto quello che avevano passato con l’album ed il tour precedente. Venne registrata live a Denver e messa sul film in bianco e nero. La frase che faceva riferimento a Charles Mason fu improvvisata lì per lì quella sera. La versione u2 è abbastanza canonica, meno aggressiva dell'originale ma comunque emozionante.
HELTER SKELTER
(This is a song Charles Manson stole from the Beatles. We're stealing it back.)
When you get to the bottom
You go back to the top of the slide
And you stop and you turn
And you go for a ride
Then you get to the bottom
Then you see me again
Do you, don't you want me to love you
Coming down fast I'm right here above you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
Ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Do you, don't you want me to make you
I'm coming down fast now don't let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
When you get to the bottom
You go back to the top of the slide
And you turn and you stop
And you go for a ride
Then you get to the bottom
Then you see me again
Do you, don't you want me to love you
Coming down fast I'm right here above you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
Ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter...(and again)
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
