| The studio version that Hannet produced is a favorite of the "old school" U2 fans out there. The title came from a note Bono received about his friend Gavin Friday: "11 O' Clock Tick Tock, Gavin called." The single (if you can find it) has the wonderful b-side Touch, which shows a more punk oriented U2. You can get it on Itunes as well. | |

| This song is spectacular! But, once again the story is very simple! It talks about one date in which Bono was late, and his date left a note saying "11 o'clock. Tick... tock..." But still, it's a bit confusing for me... | |

| "Call out your name Call out in shame " So they did this - years later. They called out Yahweh's name "in shame" Despite warning That it not be associated With anything unholy, Such as false gods, spiritism, Or idolized institutions of man. | |
