In this episode, we'll listen to We Are the People, the official song of Euro 2020. We'll also listen to an interview with Bono and The Edge. I'll explain the language used in this interview and we'll learn a lot of new words and expressions.

Hi. Hello. Thank you so much for being here. I have been waiting for this for 15 years. And this means so much to me. But it's just two of you, but that's still-- it's like, I mean, I wanted the whole band. And they just didn't want to show up. What happened? No, no. They're in oxygen tents. They-- They like you. We love you. Yeah, that's the difference. So Bono just has Bono. There's no "the" before Bono, so I know to call him Bono. Right. So you have The Edge. Mm-hmm. Should I call you The Edge, or The, or Edge? I know it's difficult. The Edge, only on very formal occasions. Edge is fine in this situation. Edge. Perfectly fine. And you call him Edge? His mother called him Edge. Really? Mrs. The Edge called Edge, Edge. Right. Yes. She was our first roadie, by the way. Really? Yes. Yes, she was. That's awesome. She's no longer with us, but she had a VW beetle. Yeah. And she used to drive us around. We would be postering at midnight. We used wallpaper, and we used to wallpaper over other people's posters-- not very cool-- and then she would call us when the police came. Saying, get out, boys! Yeah. Get out! She was a Welsh, from Wales. She drove the getaway car. That is awesome, that she was a roadie for you. That's amazing. She wasn't great at setting up the drums, you know, but she was really good at plugging in the guitar amps and all that stuff. Plugging in, that's what she did? She also-- I do recall, because we're a high school band. So Edge had cheese sandwiches every single day of high school-- every single day he had cheese sandwiches. Yeah. And Mrs. The Edge, when asked about that, said, no, really? Actually, at one point I opted for school lunches, and guess what they gave me the first day? Grilled cheese sandwich. Oh, no. Yeah. Well, at least it was elevated to grilled cheese sandwiches. Yeah. I've told you this before, but I was lucky enough to be raised in New Orleans, which is a great music town. We've been. I saw incredible music growing up there. And my first concert was y'all. It was U2 on a riverboat that held maybe 200 people that went down the Mississippi River. And it was when you were touring with Boy. Yeah. And it was the greatest concert to be on a riverboat and to see y'all live. And the energy was-- it was just incredible. And it was just-- it meant so much to me that you were my first concert. It was a show we will never forget, as well. Really? Can you remember the girl with the mullet? That's right. That was me, right there. That's right. We knew you'd go far. Yeah. We're going to see her one day-- She's great. Party in the back, party in the front, too. Yes. It was a party all the way around, because I was in New Orleans. That's why. That's right. So you met in high school, right? Yeah. Mm-hmm. And you hit it off. I can't believe this is, like, 40 years that the band is still together-- same members and you all still like each other. You're still touring. It's kind of more like a family than a band sometimes. Yeah. That's really sweet. A dysfunctional family. But is it-- do you have things that drive each other crazy? We know each other so well at this point that-- --we can finish each other's sentences. [APPLAUSE] That was funny. Yeah. You're supposed to say we can finish each other, and you're going to say, sandwiches. By the way, how did you know? Yes. We won't get into that. Because it would be a cheese sandwich, too. Blessed are the cheese makers. But what drives you crazy about each other? Early on, definitely your lunch was not safe. Bono never had a lunch, so he would borrow from other people's. I was a little bit of a stray dog as a kid. There was no-- you know, my mother died when I was a kid, so I had sort of-- what do you call it, latch key? Is that what they call it in America? Yeah. Anyway, just a scavenger. And I mean, it's no joke for me to say nothing drives me crazy about them in any real sense, because genuinely they kind of saved my life. I mean, I really felt as a teenager I had no reason to exist until I found them. And they also supplied food and refreshments. That's amazing. Yeah. [APPLAUSE] And I don't know if this is interesting, but my missus, Ali, I dated her the same week I joined U2. And that was a great week. So you-- wait. So you met your future wife and your band that you would continue for 40 years. I dated her. I'd met her before. Right. But we started dating the same week that U2 was formed. What an amazing-- So I just got two good decisions, right. Yes, yes. Everything else, I'll screw it up. No. And it is interesting. That's fantastic. Yeah, OK. Lyrics We're a million volts in a pool of lights Electricity in the room tonight Born from fire Sparks flying from the sun Yeah, I hardly know you, can I confess? I feel your heart beatin' in my chest If you come with me Tonight is gonna be the one 'Cause you've faith and no fear for the fight You pull hope from defeat in the night There's an image of you in my mind Could be mad but you might just be right We are the people we've been waiting for Out of the ruins of hate and war Army of lovers never seen before We are the people we've been waiting for We are the people of the open hand The streets of Dublin to Notre Dame We'll build it better than we did before We are the people we've been waiting for We are the people we've been waiting for Broken bells and a broken church Heart that hurts is a heart that works From a broken place That's where the victory's won 'Cause you've faith and no fear for the fight You pull hope from defeat in the night There's an image of you in my mind Could be mad but you might just be right We are the people we've been waiting for Out of the ruins of hate and war Army of lovers never seen before We are the people we've been waiting for We are the people of the open hand The streets of Dublin to Notre Dame We'll build it better than we did before We are the people we've been waiting for We are the people we've been waiting for Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Albin Andreas Nedler / Dave Evans / Giorgio H Tuinfort / Kristoffer Fogelmark / Martijn G Garritsen / Paul Hewson / Simon Edmund Carmody We Are The People lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC
