The Saints are Coming

U2 and Green Day prophetically inaugurate the Superdome..

Lyrics below to the medley that began with GD's "Wake Me Up When Sepetember Ends", seguing into a snippet of "House of The Rising Sun," picking up below with the adapted ...and jacked up with additional biblical imagery...version of the Skids song, "The Saints are Coming":

I cried to my daddy on the telephonehow long now

Until the clouds unroll and you come home

the line wentBut the shadows still remain since your descent

your descent

The saints are coming, the saints are coming

No matter how I try, I realise there’s no reply

The saints are coming, the saints are coming

A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief

How long nowUntil a weather change condemns belief

The night watchman lets in the thief

Once had his day

The saints are coming, the saints are coming

No matter how I try, I realise there’s no reply

The saints are coming, the saints are coming

We're living like birds in the magnolia trees

Child on the rooftop, mother on her knees

Her sign reads "Please -- I Am An American!"

"Beautiful Day" (u2):

See Gentilly and Lakeview

Crescent City right in front of you

Birds sing in broken trees

They’re coming home to New Orleans

Lower ninth will rise again

Above the waters of Lake Ponchatrain

See the bird with the leaf in her mouth

After the Flood all the colors came out...

Beautful day, don't let it get away

Reach me;Take me to that Other Place;

Teach me, Lord, I know I'm not a hopeless case..

Fats Domino, you're beautiful

Allen Toussaint, you're beautiful

Music rising...
