U2--Achtung Baby
Zoo Station
I'm ready, I'm ready for the laughing gas,
I'm ready, I'm ready for what's next,
I'm ready to duck,
I'm ready to dive,
I'm ready to say I'm glad to be alive,
I'm ready, I'm ready for the crush,
Cold night, the warmth of the breeze,
I've been crawling around,
On my hands and knees,
Stopping zoo station,
End of the line, ooh, zoo station,
I'm ready, I'm ready for the grip lock,
I'm ready to take it to the street,
I'm ready for the (showboat),
Ready for the deal,
Ready to let go of the steering wheel,
I'm ready, ready for the crush,
Two stops until zoo station,
Zoo station,
It's alright,
(many times)
Hey baby, hey baby,
Hey baby, hey baby,
It's alright,
It's alright,
Time is a train,
With the future the past,
Your standing in the station,
Your face pressed up against the glass,
Zoo station,
Make it on time zoo station,
Zoo station,
It's alright,
Just two stops down the line,
Just a stop down the line.

Even Better Than The Real Thing
Give me one more chance,
And you'll be satisfied,
Give me two more chances,
And you won't be denied,
Well my heart is where,
It's always been,
My head is somewhere in between,
Give me one more chance,
Let me be your lover tonight,
You're the real thing,
Yeah the real thing,
You're the real thing,
Even better than the real thing,
Give me one last chance,
And I'm gonna make you sing,
Give me half a chance,
To ride on the waves that you bring,
Your heart will shout to a swarm of bees,
Gonna blow right through you like a breeze,
Give me one last chance,
To slide from the silver ...
You're the real thing,
Yeah the real thing,
You're the real thing,
Even better than the real thing,
You're afraid to fly,
The crimson sky.
The sun won't melt our wings tonight,
Oh yeah, here she comes,
Take me higher,
Take me higher,
Ooh, take me higher,
You take me higher,
You're the real thing,
Yeah the real thing,
You're the real thing,
Even better than the real thing,
Even better than the real thing,
Even better than the real thing.

One
Is it getting better,
Or do you feel the same,
Will it make it easier on you now,
You got someone to blame,
You say, one love, one life,
When it's one need in the night,
One love, we get to share it,
Leaves you baby if you don't care for it,
Did I disappoint you,
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love,
And you want me to go without,
Well it's too late, tonight,
To drag the past out into the light,
We're one, but we're not the same,
We got to carry each other, carry each other,
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head?
Did I ask too much,
More than a lot?
You gave me nothing,
Now it's all I got,
We're one, but we're not the same,
Well we hurt each other, now we do it again,
You say, love is a temper,
Love a higher love,
Love is a temper,
Love the higher love,
You ask me to enter,
Well then you make me crawl,
And I can't be holding on to what you got,
When all you got is hurt,
One love, one blood,
One life, you got to do what you should,
One life with each other,
Sisters, brothers,
One life but we're not the same,
We get to carry each other, carry each other,
One, one.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Until The End Of The World.
I haven't seen you in quite a while,
I've been down the hole, just passing time.
The last time we met, was a low-lit room,
We was 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 led 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, love, etc
In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows,
But my sorrows, they learn to swim,
Surrounded me, going down on me,
Spilling over the brim,
In waves of regret and in waves of joy,
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy,
You, you said you'd wait, till the end of the world.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
You're dangerous,
Cause you're honest,
You're dangerous,
You don't know what you want,
Well you left my heart,
Empty as a vacant lot,
For any spirit to haunt.
Hey, hey sha la la
Hey, hey.
You're an accident waiting to happen,
You're a piece of glass,
Left there on the beach,
Well you tell me things,
I know you're not supposed to,
When you leave me,
Just out of reach,
Hey, hey sha la la,
Hey, hey sha la la
Who's gonna ride your wild horses,
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea,
Who's gonna ride your wild horses,
Who's gonna fall at the foot of me,
Well you stole it,
Cause I needed the cash,
And you killed it,
Cause I wanted revenge,
Well you lied to me,
Cause I asked you to,
Baby, can we still be friends,
Hey, hey sha la la
Hey, hey sha la la
Who's gonna ride your wild horses,
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea,
Who's gonna ride your wild horses,
Who's gonna fall at the foot of me,
Ahh, the deeper I spin,
Ahh, the hunter will sin
For your ivory skin,
Took a drive in the dirty rain,
To a place where the wind calls your name,
Under the trees and river laughing at you and me,
Hallelujah, heavens white rose
The doors you open,
I just can't close,
Don't you turn around,
Don't you turn around again,
Don't you turn around,
Your gypsy heart,
Don't turn around,
Don't turn around again,
Don't turn around,
And don't look back,
Come on my love,
Don't you look back,
Who's gonna ride your wild horses,
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea,
Who's gonna taste your sour water kisses,
Who's gonna take the place of Me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
So Cruel
You crossed the line,
Who pushed you over,
It doesn't matter to you,
It matters to me,
We cut adrift,
We're still floating,
I'm only hanging on,
To watch you go down,
My love,
I disappeared in you,
You disappeared from me,
I gave you everything you ever wanted,
But it wasn't what you wanted,
The men who love you,
You hate the most,
They pass right through you like a ghost,
They look for you,
But your spirit is in the air,
Baby you're nowhere,
You say in love, there are no rules.
Sweetheart,
You're so cruel,
Desparation is a tender trap,
It gets you every time,
You put your lips to her lips,
To stop the light
Her skin is pale like Gods only dove,
Screams like an angel for your love,
Then she makes you watch her from above,
And you need her like a drug,
Ohh love,
You say in love, there are no rules,
Ohh, love,
Sweetheart, you're so cruel,
She wears my love like a see-through dress,
Her lips sing one thing a movement something else,
Oh love, like a screaming flower,
Love dying every hour,
You don't know if it's fear or desire,
Danger of a drug that takes you higher,
Heaven heaven, fingers the mire,
Her heart is racing, you can't keep up,
The night is bleeding like a cut,
Between the horses of love and lust,
In a tremble under dust.
Ohh, love,
You say in love, there are no rules.
Ohh, love,
Sweetheart, you're so cruel,
Ohh, love,
To stay with you, I'd be a fool,
Ohh,
Sweetheart, you're so cruel.

The Fly
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
Y'know I don't see you when she walks in the room
It's no secrets that a friend is someone who let's you help
It's no scret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I'm telling you... child
A man will beg
Love, we shine like a
A man will crawl
Burning star
On the cheer face of love
We're fallin' from
like a fly on the wall
The sky... tonight
It's no secret at all
It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of succes
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill the inspiration and sing about the grief
A man will rise
Love, we shine like a
A man will fall
Burning star
On the cheer face of love
We're fallin' from
like a fly on the wall
The sky... tonight
It's no secret at all
Oh yeah,
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploding 'cosa one man's lie
Look I gotta go
yeah I'm running outta change
There's a lot of things
If I could I'd rearrange

Mysterious Ways
Johnny takes a walk
With your sister in the moon
To fill the pale light in
To fill up the room
You've been living underground
Eating from a can
You've been running away
From what you don't understand
She's slippy
You're sliding down
She'll be there
When you hit the ground
It's alright... It's alright... It's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... It's alright... It's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
Johnny takes a dive
With your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things
You can't explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel ... (on your knees boy!)
It's alright... It's alright... It's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... It's alright... It's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... It's alright... It's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... It's alright... It's alright
Lift my days ... Light up my nights
One day you'll look back
And you'll see
Where
You were held how
By this love
While
You could stand
There
And not move on this moment
Follow this feeling
It's alright... It's alright... It's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright... It's alright... It's alright
We move through miracle days
Spirit moves in mysterious ways
She moves with it
She moves with it
Lift my days and light up my nights
Love......

Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around The World.
Six O'clock in the morning,
You're the last thing I ever wanted,
You've been trying to throw your arms around the world,
You've been falling off the sidewalk,
Your lips move but you can't talk,
You've been trying to throw your arms around the world,
Gonna run to you,
Run to you, run to you,
Woman be still,
Gonna run to you,
Run to you, run to you,
Woman, I will.
Sunrise like a nose bleed,
Your head hurts and you can't breathe,
You've been trying to throw you arms around the world,
How far you gonna go,
Before you lose your way back home?
You've been trying to throw your arms around the world,
Gonna tun to you,
Run to you, run to you,
Woman, I will,
I dreamed that I saw Dally
With a supermarket trolley,
He was trying to throw his arms around a girl,
I took a note ...
Through the eye of a needle,
He was trying to throw his arms around the world,
Gonna run to you,
Run to you, run to you,
Woman, I will,
Nothing much to say I guess,
Just the same as all the rest,
You've been trying to throw your arms around the world,
And a woman needs a man,
Like a fish needs a bicycle,
You've been trying to throw your arms around the world,
I'm gonna run to you,
Run to you, run to you,
I'm gonna run to you,
Run to you, run to you,
I'm gonna run to you,
Run to you, run to you,
Woman be still,
Woman be still,
Be still,
Woman be still,
Woman I will.

Ultra Violet - (Light My Way)
Sometimes I feel like I don't know,
Sometimes I feel like checkin' out,
Can't always get it right,
I want to get it wrong,
And love it won't be long,
Oh sugar, don't you cry,
Oh child, wipe the tears from your eye,
You know I need you,
To be strong,
And the day is as dark as the night is long,
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean,
I'm in the black, can't see or be seen.
Baby, baby, baby, light my way,
Alright now,
Baby, baby, baby, light my way,
You bury your treasure,
Where it can't be found,
But your love is like a secret,
That's been passed around,
There is a silence that comes to our house,
When no-one can sleep,
I guess it's the price of love,
I know it's not cheap,
Baby, baby, baby, light my way,
Oh come on,
Baby, baby, baby light my way,
Baby, baby, baby light my way,
I remember when we could sleep on stones,
Now we lie together, in whispers and in moans.
When I was all messed up, and I had ... in my head,
Your mood was a light bulb, hanging over my bed,
Baby, baby, baby, light my way,
Oh come on,
Baby, baby, baby, light my way,
Baby, baby, baby,
Baby, baby, baby,
Baby, baby, baby, light my way,
Baby, baby, baby,
Baby, baby, baby,
Baby, baby, baby, light my way,
Baby, baby, baby,
Baby, baby, baby,
Baby, baby, baby, light my way,
Baby, baby, baby, light my way.

Acrobat.
Don't believe what you hear,
Don't believe what you say,
If you just close your eyes,
You can feel the enemy,
When I first met you girl,
You had fire in your soul,
What happened your face,
Of melting snow.
Now he looks like this,
And you can swallow,
Or you can spit,
You can throw it up,
Or choke on it,
And you can dream,
So dream out loud,
You know that your time is coming round,
So don't let the bastards grind you down,
No nothing makes sense,
Nothing seems to fit,
I know you'd hit out,
If you only knew who to hit,
And I'd join the movement,
If there was one I could believe in.
Yeah, I'd break bread and wine,
If there was a church I could receive in.
Cause I need it now,
To take a cup,
To fill it up,
To drink it slow,
Can't let you go,
I must be, an acrobat,
To talk like this, and act like that.
You can dream, so dream out loud,
And don't let the bastards grind you down.
And I must be, an acrobat,
To talk like this, and act like that,
And you can dream, so dream out loud,
And you can find your own way out,
And you can build and I can wield,
And you can call can't wait until,
And you can stash, and you can sieze,
And dreams begin,
responsibilities,
If I could love, and I could learn,
And I know that your time is turning round,
So don't let the bastards grind you down.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Love Is Blindness.
Love is blindness,
I don't want to see,
Won't you wrap the night around me,
On my heart,
Love is blindness,
In a parked car,
In a crowded street,
You see your love made complete,
Thread is ripping,
The knot is slipping,
Love is blindness,
Love is conquest, cold steal,
Fingers to numb to feel,
Squeeze the handle,
Blow out the candle,
Love is blindness,
Love is blindness,
I don't want to see,
Won't you wrap the night,
Around me,
Oh my love, blindness,
A little death without mourning,
No call and no warning,
Baby I need you aside me,
It almost makes sense,
Love is drowning,
In a deep well,
All the secrets and no-one to tell,
Except the money, honey,
Blindness, love is blindness,
I don't want to see,
Won't you wrap the night,
Around me,
Oh my love, blindness.
