U2 - Another Day



Description
"Another Day" was U2's first single release, and was released in 1980 following their EP, Three, and prior to their debut album, Boy. As it has not appeared on any album or other CD pressing, it is considered a rarity in U2's catalogue and almost wholly unknown to anyone but dedicated fans of the band.

Excluding "Electrical Storm," which has never been performed live, "Another Day" can be considered to be U2's least played single. Only five renditions at four concerts are known to have been played. However, it must be emphasized that "Another Day" dates from before the release of Boy and the majority of setlists from that era are unknown. It is probable that "Another Day" was performed more times in 1979 and the first half of 1980. Its last known performance occurred on 27 July 1980.

Lyrics
Wake up
The dawn of another dull day
Take up
Your dreams and on your way
Oh oh ooh

Daylight
Mother stands in the hall
Last night
Head against the wall
Oh oh ooh

When night turns to day
And the children come out to play
Another day

Stop, shake out
They came my way
Oh oh ooh...

Boy, salute in a street uniform
Toy, soldier ripped and torn
Oh oh ooh

When night turns to day
And the children come out to play
Another day

Stop, shout
They came my way
Oh oh ooh
