ANGELS MAKES TOP TEN IN VH1'S BRITAIN'S TOP LYRIC

Irish Rock band U2 topped a recent poll of 13,000 participants conducted by VH1 to find Britain's favorite pop music lyric. U2 topped the survey with a line from the song One, off of the band's 1991 album Achtung Baby, "One life, with each other, sisters, brothers."
In second place behind U2, fronted by booming political minded vocalist Bono, was a song by The Smiths, How Soon Is Now, and the lyric, "So you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry, and you want to die." Third place went to Nirvana and the hit song Smells Like Teen Spirit and the lyric, "I feel stupid and contagious, here we are now, entertain us."
With the haunting Redemption Song by reggae legend Bob Marley in fourth spot, and Yellow by Coldplay in fifth place, according to the Associated Press, the remainder of the VH1 survey was as colorful and bold as U2,"The top 10 was a mix of the affirmative and the acerbic, ranging from Robbie Williams' uplifting 'Angels' - 'And through it all she offers me protection, a lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong' -- to Radiohead's sour 'Creep.'
