Van Diemen’s Land U2

[Verse 1]
Hold me now, oh hold me now
Till this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's land

[Verse 2]
It's a bitter pill I swallow here
To be rent from one so dear
We fought for justice and not for gain
But the magistrate sent me away

[Verse 3]
Now kings will rule and the poor will toil
And tear their hands as they tear the soil
But a day will come in this dawning age
When an honest man sees an honest wage

[Verse 1]
Hold me now, oh hold me now
Till this hour has gone around
And I'm gone on the rising tide
For to face Van Diemen's Land

[Outro]
What has happened, um, between the writing of the uh, The Joshua Tree album, recording The Joshua Tree album, and uh, the tour and now the new songs?
Adam?
Oh, I don't know.
