Lyrics:
If I couldn’t sing
How love’s the hardest easy thing
And if I couldn’t sing you my life
Hiding here in the spotlight
And if you couldn’t hear me
If I couldn’t feel
If I couldn’t feel your touch again
When nerve ends fray
And there’s nothing to say
Not even a prayer
It’s a beautiful night somewhere
Ohhh ohhh
If I couldn’t say it now
Tell me how
If this is love and love is all we’ve got
You can show me what it is
I can show you what it’s not
If this is love don’t act surprised when you get hurt
Even if our dreams lay in the dirt
We were once the greatest show on earth
Is that a smile or a tear?
Is it all show business here?
The cinema that is stained glass
You’re at the altar at our wedding mass
Is this a church of love or fear?
Have we made God feel like a stranger here?
Ohhh ohhh
Say it now
Tell me how
If this is love and love is all we’ve got
You can show me what it is
I can show you what it’s not
If this is love, we make cathedrals of our hurt
People digging their dreams out of the dirt
We were once the greatest show on earth
Love is a business that works at night
I sold myself for less than was right
You taught me what I was worth
In the greatest show on earth
Made a profession out of breaking your heart
You call it lies, I call it art
I was some of your best work
We were once the greatest show on earth
Love is a business you shouldn’t trust
Breathe on me and I’m love and I’m lust
Forever or a flirt?
The greatest show on earth
The light scatters things can get worse
These dark matters of the universe
Could not compete with us
We were once the greatest show on earth

Excellent video by Anton Corbijn…Great Track too.
Love you Bro x
U2 is not rock
לא לתרום לשום עמותת חיות גם, כי הליכוד בדפוס גם להתעלל בחיות, במיוחד בכלבים, גם בחתולים, אבל חתולים פחות קל לתפוס.
הם עושים גם להם שואות לא רק בצבא גם בבתים!!!
Wasn't U2 on the side of love, but then money took precedence? Is that the case?
And I want to offer further criticism: I believe I know that the tour’s road crew—with all their various responsibilities—costs a certain amount of money, but even so, the equation doesn’t work. Why is that?
Poor people do not attend U2 live concerts. And I can tell you honestly that things are not going well in Finland—a small nation. But I would hope for better❤❤❤❤
I love your music since 1987 maybe earlier, 1982, i don't remember. I I’m disappointed by the price of live tickets. In some countries, the cost can double, triple, or even increase more, relative to people’s income. That really sucks. Poor people do not attend U2 live concerts.❤
I love this and the video
Legends 🙌🏻
Fantastic song 💙
Surely they have to do other uk places other than Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next year, this is sooooo good.
This was my late uncle’s favourite band.
The sound and rhythm are majestic and spellbinding
this song every time i listening makes me feel revive… U2 tanks for been part of my life…
I like so much this song
We need more of this in our lives…. thank you
It’s magic… they still the greatest show on earth. ❤
Tellement vrai !
Come canta Bono…che spettacolo.
Che pezzo ragazzi!!!
In loop da quando è uscita.
Era tanto tempo che non mi capitava.
Forse ci eravamo dimenticati chi erano gli U2.
If this isn't goodbye, I don't know what it is. Wonderful tune, too. Not bad from a bunch of washed up old punks 🙂
Anton Corbijn clip reminds me his Enjoy The Silence's (DM) one
❤😢💔
Amerò blackpool per tutto il resto della mia vita e Napoli. 😊😊
Deus abençoe o U2.
One word "WAUW
U2 😍 You will always be the greatest show on earth and the greatest band in my heart!
Wow,just tried to get tickets. Paid for the fan club and everything. What a rip off
U2 , Thailand FAN, I know U2 since 2003 (23 years) .
The song is really good. But, if it was part of Uchtung, baby, for example, you would barely notice it… I rest my case.
U2 is back since Rattle and Hum!!
I honestly didn’t believe U2 could be any more pretentious. I was so wrong. They pulled out every cliche in the book for this one. Black and white film, the mysterious Vogue cover model wandering the desert, the band dressed for a masquerade ball. And to top it all off, Bono with his hat. All for the sake of blowing their own horn about still dragging this corpse around after 50 years. This is a case study in creative bankruptcy. The latest sad chapter in the story of a bunch of wannabe rebels without a cause; or a song.
O bom é que a maioria das músicas de vcs tem a mesma essência. 🔥🌵🌵
The feels. All of them ❤
Nightwish has a masterpiece called "the greatest show on earth"
The Edge laying down those famous DDL chords EPIC!!!!!
