Works faster than caffeine
Bono starts the song saying Unos Dos Tres Catorce
which means “1, 2, 3, 14” in Spanish.
Some believe that he referred to the Bible:
1st Testament, 2nd Book, 3rd Chapter, 14th verse.
“And God said unto Moses, I am that I am: and he said,
thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I am that
sent me unto you.”
Others say that he did it because it was the first single of
How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, U2’s 14th LP.
As we know, Bono was/still is a preaching
rock ‘n’ roll star, so I go for the Bible quote.
Anyway Vertigo it’s a master blaster.
1, 2, 3, 14…

Unos, dos, tres, catorce
Turn it up loud, captain
Hello, hello (hola)
I’m at a place called Vertigo (¿dónde está?)
It’s everything I wish I didn’t know
Except you give me something
I can feel, feel
