Seconds - Remastered 2008

This is a rare U2 song with someone other than Bono on lead vocals. It was the first time The Edge sang lead.

The lyrics about dancing to the atomic bomb is a reference to "Drop The Bomb," a song by Go-Go group Troublefunk, who were U2's labelmates on Island Records.

This is about the threat of nuclear war. The album title was inspired by the global unrest of 1982.
