Song of the Day: Yesterday - One by U2

This was supposed to be the song of yesterday but I couldn't figure out how to buy a song on my phone from the train...and once in....too much to do. The funny thing is I read about this song in a book, Little Bee, by Chris Cleeve and I remembered having it and thinking this is an uplifting song of the oneness of humankind, so then I get to work buy it and somewhere around the 3rd listen I am like...what is this guy saying?!  Turns out I think Bono is telling his wife he had an affair and she should get over it...better yet he blames some of it on her...."Did I ask too much? more than a lot. You gave me nothing and that's all I got." Nice.  ....kids like the rock bombast though...Lila this morning..."Can we play more music Mama? I like that one."

What do you think he's saying?

I read this book and I really start to think that ever since there was like 2 people and 1 spoon someone had to hit someone else over the head with a rock to get the spoon. Oh and then I read about the Crusades, wow, pretty much blasted any shred of Christianity I was hanging onto for old times sake, right straight out of me...talk about peopl
