In A Little While - Live From The Fleet Center, Boston, MA, USA / 2001

When we started out we were
I guess, 15, 16
Larry was 14
Still is
The Ramones were the band
And uh
Without The Ramones it's hard to imagine that we
We would have felt like we fell about
You know, joining the band and all

So this is a song that Joey Ramone loved
They played it to him while he was lying
In his hospital bed
Couple of months back
It was the last song that Joey Ramone heard
In his life here
And...
That's an amazing thing for somebody
Who grew up as a fan of Joey Ramone, I can say that

Anyway, Joey turned this
Song about a hangover
Into a gospel song, I think
'Cause that's the way I always hear it now
For Joey Ramone's ears

In a little while
Surely you'll be mine
In a little while I'll be there
In a little while
This hurt will hurt no more
I'll be home, love

When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no end
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
Will you be there?
(Check now)

(Someone)
(Checking in my song)

In a little while
I will blow by every breeze
Friday night running
To Sunday on my knees
That girl, that girl, she's mine
Well I've know her since
Since she was a little girl

With Spanish eyes, oh when I saw her
In a pram they pushed her by
My, how you've grown, well it's been
It's been a little while

A man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocket ship into the sky
He lives on a star, he's dying in the night
And follows in the trail the scatter of light

You turn me on
You turn me on
(Funky child)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Shine it now)

Slow down my beating heart
Slowly love, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly love, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly love, slowly love

This is a family business
I'd like to introduce you to the uh...

The scientist in the family
A man who
Who takes sexual pleasure in the collection of data
Wearing the number seven shirt this evening
Even his mother calls him "The Edge"

On security, the bodyguard of the band
The man who gave us our first job and
Keeps us in our first job
On the drums, Larry Mullen Junior
(Come on)
Come on down

The jazz man
The musical conscience of the... of the family
A man whose instrument holds mysterious powers over womanfolk
The poshest member of U2
Adam Clayton, y'all!
