i love the idea of comparing black and white to silver and gold - that both colours and people are equally awesome. or maybe thats not what it means at all?
every lyric in this song is fan-bloody-tastic - but there are two moments where bono and co just take me to another place - on the words "bright shiny things, bright shiny things, yeah" and the verse following that. also when he says "ok edge play the blues" - the solo following that is nothing technically clever but amazing sounding.
bono was a truly great lyric writer. this is a prime example, along with songs like 'one' and 'so cruel'. and he could sing ok i spose, a little bit, sort of.
