Lyric discussion by President Macho 

I believe "Dirty Day" is a too often over looked mastertrack. The dynamic differences between the Zooropa version and the b-sides edition are truly striking. Like entirely different tunes both running through the same emotions just containing varying levels of desperate mania. An excellent tune for the surreal fog of living in the eye of a hurricane and making it wink to a subtle onlooker. I can relate to the idea of only being able to justify poor choices for so long before consequences and your own adrenalised sense of responsibility catches up. Even if the veins of such a path come from raw desperation.
