Hahaha, yes, I wondered that too. My best friend pointed it out to me one day when the song was still new and was like, "Did you notice that 'Vertigo' goes, 'One, two, three, FORTY!!!'?"
 I'm guessing it's because they needed a certain amount of syllables so the line wouldn't sound weird. |

Anyway, it's kinda random to bump this topic but oh well... As mentioned before, it's U2, they can basically do whatever they want and I love them for it. |

My best friend did but I guess she wasn't very good at it then. |
