 SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY, BY U2
I- Read the following paragraph. It will help you understand why they chose this title for
the song.
On Sunday January 30th 1972, about 20000 civilians marched through the town of Derry in Northern
Ireland. They were protesting against the policy of the English government which imprisoned suspected
members of the IRA without trial. While they were demonstrating, the English army fired on the unarmed
marchers, killing fourteen people, some shot in the back. Those responsible for this massacre were never
punished.
The popular Irish group wrote the song Sunday bloody Sunday in 1983 to sum up a decade of hatred and
violence.

II- Listen to the song and fill in the gaps with these words:
Battle – die - Feet – tears - wall – immune - must – trench – victory - bodies

Oh, I can't close my eyes How long must we sing this song?
And make it go away How long, how long?
