TWO SHOTS OF HAPPY, ONE SHOT OF SAD
Lyrics: Bono. Music: Bono and The Edge.
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
You think I’m no good? Well I know I been bad
Took you to a place, now you can’t get back
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
Walk together down a dead-end street
We were mixing the bitter with the sweet
Don’t try to figure out what we might’ve had
Just two shots of happy, one shot of sad
I’m just a singer, some say a sinner
Rollin’ the dice, not always a winner
You say I’ve been lucky, well hell I made my own
Not part of the crowd, but not feelin’ alone
Under pressure, not bent out of shape
Surrounded we always found an escape
Drove me to drink, but hey, that’s not all bad
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
Guess I been greedy all of my life
Greedy with my children, my lovers, my wife
Greedy for the good things as well as the bad
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
Maybe it’s just talk, saloon singin’
The chairs are all stacked, the swingers stopped swingin’
You say I hurt you, you point the finger on yourself
Then after you did it, you came cryin’ for my help
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
I’m not complainin’, baby I’m glad
You call it compromise? Well what’s that?
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
For Frank Sinatra
