![]() Achtung Baby (1991) [ larger cover art ] |
Haven't seen you in quite a while
I was down the hold just passing time
Last time we met was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time
Except you
You were talking about the end of the world
I took the money
I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You lead me on with those innocent eyes
You know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You...you were acting like it was
The end of the world
(Love...love...)
In my dream I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows, they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret and waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You...you said you'd wait
'til the end of the world
I was down the hold just passing time
Last time we met was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time
Except you
You were talking about the end of the world
I took the money
I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You lead me on with those innocent eyes
You know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You...you were acting like it was
The end of the world
(Love...love...)
In my dream I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows, they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret and waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You...you said you'd wait
'til the end of the world

| vaos (maastricht / liège) | Posted: Apr 26, 2013 - 01:44 Achtung Baby is my personal favorite of U2 albums. Their first really new U2 style, sadly also the last "good/inventive/fresh" album. Great song, lots of memories. |
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Mar 25, 2013 - 13:51 But this is not the track played in the movie. Different take (or mix). |

| leg | Posted: Mar 14, 2013 - 03:35 Can't have enough U2 :-) |
| perrygibbs | Posted: Mar 08, 2013 - 07:52 More U2. Please give us a break. |
| coloradojohn (A Mile High and then some, Cherry Creek, Denver) | Posted: Jan 21, 2013 - 19:27 I was partying it up in Roisin Dubh in Boston, Mass. when this Baby broke onto the scene in a big way...the house was rocking and we could all feel the energy from and for this grand band...and it has served mighty well for fine party grooves ever since...Thanks for keeping the whole vibe alive and jamming Until the End! |
| old_shep (Iowa) | Posted: Jan 12, 2013 - 07:30 No Mas U2 PSD |
| Lazarus (Bethany) | Posted: Jan 10, 2013 - 10:36 Everybody in my church loves this song Until the End of the World... |
| coloradojohn (A Mile High and then some, Cherry Creek, Denver) | Posted: Jan 10, 2013 - 10:36 What connections, what timeless memories connect me to this song... Memories like a movie, to last a lifetime, or at least, Until The End of The World... Thanks, RP! |
| DavidS_UK (Central England, UK) | Posted: Jan 04, 2013 - 15:59 In the same way with Pink Floyd, one bar of 'this' guitar is enough to state here's U2 and this is why they are where they are, even before Bono starts to sing |
| ubuntourist (Brain-Washington) | Posted: Dec 21, 2012 - 11:07 Heh. Such an appropriate set of tunes today. |
| ufamsm (Austin, TX, USA) | Posted: Dec 21, 2012 - 11:07 ROFL this song list today is making me laugh harder on every Apocalypse song. I hope you can work in Smashing Pumpkins and "The End is the Beginning is the End" !! |

| hidey (NZ) | Posted: Nov 02, 2012 - 23:04 U2. One the bands that comes around on here a bit too often for my liking. But it can't all be great can it? |
| Decoy (Milliway's, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe) | Posted: Oct 08, 2012 - 07:45 Nice transition there Bill. |
| oldsaxon (Wales via Vancouver, BC.) | Posted: Oct 02, 2012 - 13:13 Brilliant song...love it |
| ri_shelton (A few clicks up the river) | Posted: Sep 08, 2012 - 15:27 I love this song. The movie soundtrack has plenty of other gems. This song reminds me of the Stone Roses. Loving the bass line. |

| NeuroGeek (Just Way Out There) | Posted: May 03, 2012 - 07:04 Actually one of my least favorite cuts off this album. But I don't hate it. |

Holy sh*t that was the best sentence ever written by someone I've never met on a listener supported radio program that plays the most brilliant bands in the history of rock and roll! |

Maybe it's to remind how lucky we are that we have RP at all. Every time I hear mainstream U2 on here, I can't help but shake my head and ask why? There are plenty of tunes played here that have been thoroughly over-played by mainstream radio - by many more artists than just U2. For example: there are quite a few Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin tunes which immediately come to mind. It doesn't really befuddle or bother me, and if it's something I can't stand to hear, I usually just change the station. |
