"Trip Through Your Wires" is the eighth track from U2's 1987 album, The Joshua Tree. The song has a bluesy rhythm and features lead singer Bono on harmonica.In 1986 an early version of this song,containing different lyrics was performed on RTE(Irish TV)programme``TV GAGA``

The song was released as a promotional single in Australia, with only 500, hand-numbered, copies released [1]. The single included the B-sides "Luminous Times (Hold on to Love)", "Spanish Eyes" and "Silver and Gold".

According to The Edge, the song was meant to be heard in the context of another song that never made it on the album, "The Sweetest Thing", [2] which was later released as the B-side of "Where the Streets Have No Name". The Sweetest Thing was re-recorded and released as a single for the 1998 compilation album The Best of 1980-1990.
