Whats the story with the “stuck together with Gods glue” lyric in “Staring at the Sun”?
That lyric is the title of a 1991 album by another Dublin band called Something Happens, a band which was often called “the next U2” in their late 80s, early 90s heyday. Something Happens built a very popular following in Ireland and other portions of Europe, but found only limited success in the U.S. Bono has claimed innocence when asked if he specifically stole the lyric from the Something Happens album, but the truth is that the U2ers and the guys in the Happens all know each other very well and Bono is certainly well aware of the success of Something Happens, and that album … which was the Happens’ most popular release.
