“Kreuzberg” is the sound of a Hoxton U2, bigger, even, than the first album’s “Pioneers,” full of drama bigness even as the lovelorn lyrics offer up tender images aplenty. “Alluding to a stadium moment is not something to be ashamed of,” grinned Okereke, “If it can be done well.”
– A Weekend in the...
[Verse 1]
There is a wall that runs right through me
Just like this city, I will never be joined
What is this love? Why can I never hold it?
Did it really run out in those strangers' bedrooms?
[Chorus]
I
I have decided
At 25
That something must change
[Verse 2]
Saturday night, in East Berlin
We took the U-Bahn to the East Side Gallery
I was sure I'd found love with this one lying with me
Crying again in the Hauptbahnhof
[Chorus]

[Outro]
After sex, the bitter taste
Been fooled again, the search continues
After sex, the bitter taste
Been fooled again, the search continues
After sex, the bitter taste
Been fooled again, the search continues
Concerned mothers of the west
Teach your sons how to truly love
