  • I know a girl who's like the sea
    I watch her changing every day for me, oh yeah
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

    One day she's still, the next she swells
    You can hear the universe in her sea shells, oh yeah
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

    No, no line on the horizon, no, no line

    I know a girl with a hole in her heart
    She said infinity is a great place to start
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

    Time is irrelevant, it's not linear
    Then she put her tongue in my ear
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

    No, no line on the horizon, no, no line
    No, no line on the horizon, no, no line

    Ooh
    Oh oh, oh oh, ooh
    Oh oh, oh oh

    The songs in your head are now on my mind
    You put me on pause, I'm trying to rewind and replay
    Every night I have the same dream
    I'm, I'm hatching some plot, scheming some scheme, oh yeah
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

    I'm traffic cop, Rue de Marais
    The sirens are wailing but it's me that wants to get away
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

    No line on the horizon, no, no line
    No, no line on the horizon, no, no line Writer/s: Adam Clayton, Brian Peter George Eno, Daniel Roland Lanois, Dave Evans, David Evans, Larry Mullen, Laurence Mullen Jnr., Paul David Hewson

  • Mike from Fair Haven, VtI like the groove of this song-but on the deluxe version of the album, there is a second version of it-it's a little faster and the chord changes are more pronounced-I actually like it better than the original album version-very raw feel to it
  • Grayson from Cleveland, Ohthis song sounds like something from the Achtung or Zooropa...
  • Grayson from Cleveland, Ohbrilliant song. one of the best in their catalogue.
