Lady With The Spinning Head
U2 · Other Songs - U2
Here she comes lady luck again
Figure of eight, six and nine again
My lady with the spinning head
Whatever the deal, she won't let me down
Wherever I go, she's always hanging 'round
My lady with the spinning head
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Lady with the spinning head
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Lady with the spinning head
She's been gone but I knew she'd be back
She's got the rent, she put me in the black
Meet the lady with the spinning head
This old man, took away by a car
Do you dare to ask what I'm talking about
I'm on top when she's around
She's my ticket out of town
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Lady with the spinning head
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Lady with the spinning head
Figure of eight, six and nine again
My lady with the spinning head
Whatever the deal, she won't let me down
Wherever I go, she's always hanging 'round
My lady with the spinning head
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Lady with the spinning head
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Lady with the spinning head
She's been gone but I knew she'd be back
She's got the rent, she put me in the black
Meet the lady with the spinning head
This old man, took away by a car
Do you dare to ask what I'm talking about
I'm on top when she's around
She's my ticket out of town
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Lady with the spinning head
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Lady with the spinning head
Lady With The Spinning Head
Released in 1987 on the album *War*, "Lady With The Spinning Head" stands as a defining track in U2's evolution toward a more polished, radio-friendly sound. The song features the band's signature layered guitars and dynamic vocal performance, marking a departure from the raw, acoustic textures of their earlier work. Lyrically, the track explores themes of anxiety and the fear of the future, delivered with a sense of urgency that became a hallmark of the group's mid-80s output. As a staple of their live performances, the recording showcases the band's ability to blend emotional depth with anthemic energy, cementing their status as global icons during the era of the *War* album.
