Stories For Boys Lyrics

Apparently this was one of U2's earliest songs and had written it long before Boy came around. Bono mentioned that there is a part in this, not sure if he meant lyrics or in the melody that is extremely similar to Vertigo. I've been listening to it lately to try to pick up on what he was on about but alas...to no avail....

However, the first line "There's a place I go and I am far away" to me is wierdly similar to one of the songs on the Beatles first album called "there's a place"

"there's a place...where I can go..when i feel low...when i feel blue....etc"

Every time I hear stories for boys I think of that. Sorry if I'm boring you to death, just what i think..!
