First time I heard Vertigo I thought he said, "As bullets trip the sky." I was thinking... what the hell does that mean? Second time I heard it, I figured it to be "As bullets rip the sky." and then thought, ok that makes more sense.
It took me ages to figure out what Bono was saying in the Bullet talking break - my friend and I used to argue about whether he said 'and I see those spider planes' or 'and I see those spy planes' and then somebody else pointed out that it was 'fighter planes.' I have to admit I thought Bono was bonkers talking about spider planes all the time!
^Well, and it doesn't help that if you got the special edition there was NO lyric book to speak of. And I'm not one to go running to teh interwebs for song lyrics.
