Rushdie, who has lived in hiding for nearly a decade since being condemned to death by Iran's supreme leader for his 1989 book ``The Satanic Verses,'' gave U2 lead singer Bono the lyrics taken from his new novel, ``The Ground Beneath Her Feet,'' the London-based newspaper said. The romantic ballad, also to be called ``The Ground Beneath Her Feet,'' will be on U2's next album, the report said. ``Bono and I have been friends for several years, and I sent him the novel when I'd finished it, and he responded by coming up with this beautiful melody,'' the newspaper quoted Rushdie as saying. ``Simple as that, but of course very pleasurable.''
