Berlin, November 13th 2018

I don't know you
And you don't know the half of it
I had a starring role
I was the bad guy who walked out
They said be careful where you aim
'Cause where you aim you just might hit
You can hold onto something so tight
You've already lost it

Dragging me down
That's not the way it used to be
You can't even remember
What I'm trying to forget

It was a dirty day
Dirty day

You're looking for explanations
I don't even understand
If you need someone to blame
Throw a rock in the air
You'll hit someone guilty

From father to son
In one life has begun
A work that's never done
Father to son

Get it right
There's no blood thicker than ink
Hear what I say
Nothing's as simple as you think

Wake up
Some things you can't get around
I'm in you
More so when they put me in the ground

These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill
These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill
These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill
These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill
These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill
These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill
These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill
.......
The title came from a phrase Bono's father, Bob Hewson, used to say: "It's a dirty day."

The song is about a father who leaves his family and is later confronted by the son he abandoned. Bono says the song was influenced by his father's attitude, but it is not his story. Bono's mother died when he was 14, and he was raised by his dad from that point onward. Their relationship was rocky and sometimes distant, influencing this song about emotional detachment.

The author Charles Bukowski, whose nickname was Hank, was an influence on this song. At the end, when Bono repeats, "The days, days, days run away like horses over the hill," that's a reference to Bukowski's 1969 collection of poetry, The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over the Hills.
