This is from the Under a Blood Red Sky song book...

From reading the piano music, it looks like the signature guitar riff is
something like

G ----------------------------------------------------------------2e+2h-|
D ----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A ----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E ----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Where e = eigth note

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.
