We crossed the line
Who pushed who over?
It doesn't matter to you
It matters to me
We're cut adrift
But 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
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
Oh love
You say in love there are no rules
Oh love
Sweetheart
You're so cruel
Desperation is a tender trap
It gets you every time
You put your lips to her lips
To stop the lie
Her skin is pale like God's only dove
Screams like an angel for your love
Then she makes you watch her from above
And you need her like a drug
Oh love
You say in love there are no rules
Oh love
Sweetheart
You're so cruel
She wears my love like a see through dress
Her lips say one thing
Her movements, something else
Oh love, like a screaming flower
Love
Dying every hour
And you don't know if it's fear or desire
Danger, the drug that takes you higher
Head of heaven
Fingers in 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 we are trampled
Underfoot
Oh love
You say in love there are no rules
Oh love
Sweetheart
You're so cruel
Oh love
To stay with you, I'd be a fool
Oh, sweetheart
You're so cruel
Who pushed who over?
It doesn't matter to you
It matters to me
We're cut adrift
But 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
It wasn't what you wanted
The men who love you, you hate the most
They pass right through you like a ghost

This song hits where it hurts
_Until The End of the World_ is the track that has those kinds of associations: 'close together, like bride and groom.'
Pontificating band. Or sniveling, if you prefer a less pontificating word...
Great memories of backpacking through Europe in the spring of 1992 listening to this, Pearl Jam-10 and Nirvana-Nevermind on my walkman with not a care in the world 
Nice deep cut. As a Joshua Tree fan, I didn’t initially appreciate Achtung Baby, but fortunately had some friends that convinced me to reconsider.
This album came out when I was in my second year of Architecture School. It featured very heavily in our musical rotation in the studio that year. This brings back some very fond memories... and a tiny bit of anxiety when I think of those deadlines...
So amazing. Love this song!
Don't usually love U2, but this bittersweet song is hitting the sweet spot for me today, especially following Chrissie's "Adding the Blue." We're in the process of moving (we hope) so going through all sorts of financial and other angst. Just spoke with my parents who are nearing the end of their lives (we hope not too soon) and thinking of our kids who will probably be moving out before we know it. Plus struggling with lack of energy due to long COVID. Funny how great music (and great programming) can find a way to hit the bullseye when it comes to connecting with our emotions and situations.
Less U2 please, please, please!!!

This album marked U2's shift into pessimism and bitterness. This song perfectly reflects that.

IMO it didn't help U2 much that Bono became a full fledged messiah
Splendid tune.
U2 didn't stop writing good albums, people's tastes changed. That's all. Apart from their last album (Songs of Experience) - that was pathetic.

The "quintessence" of U2 
For me the best album of U2. So travelling. Splendid time like he said
Loved the album when it was released. Love songs are tough. Psychedelic Furs had a way with them....luff!

18 years ago, when this came out, I thought U2 was washed up and no longer relevant. I'd been listening since they hit the US airwaves in the early 80's. And then this album blew my mind, a curve ball from the group, and a great achievement IMO
This tune is why U2 is great, yet I've never heard it on FM radio. Thank you, RP.

Great observations and here's my two cents.....
It's definitely a syndrome that the very bands that it was "cool" to be a fan of when they were new and up coming are labeled "sellouts" when the rest of the world recognizes their talent and they become megastars. "They were cool when they first started and all us core fans stood by them. Too bad they sold out to become superstar!" The Who understood this and even predicted it with an early album called "The Who Sell Out" - only their third studio album - as did Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention with "We Only In It For The Money" - their fourth album.
Rubbish.
Also, for a band to last even 10 years (think The Beatles), let alone decades, and still be relevant, let alone innovative, is exceedingly rare. I'm old enough to remember The Beatles when they transitioned from being a British pop band to a world-wide phenomenon. Starting with Rubber Soul to Revolver to Sgt. Peppers to Magical Mystery Tour to The White Album etc, each new album took their experimentation, song writing skills, and artistry to a new level. Younger fans may not know that it was controversial at the time, as the band challenged it's fans to become part of the growth and open our minds to accept the new level of their new music. That happened with The Who, Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead, REM, Nirvana, and yeah, U2.
Joshua Tree blew everyone away. Achtung Baby took some faith to get with fully. Some later albums that I thought didn't really measure up later came to speak to me....once I caught up. Innocence was a little like that for me, but I saw the Innocence Tour at Madison Square Garden (their final North American performance, night 8 in NYC) and then I understood what they were reaching for.
Great artists are going to follow their art, push their limits, innovate, and experiment. Some times the experiment doesn't quite work out, but they keep on going. Hang in there, open your mind, don't judge what's coming by what come before. It's worth the ride.
So much talk for something that could be said in a few sentences - Bono IS a sellout, musically, personally, however you put it. The biggest heights that man reached was in his ego. He doesn't need heels for that, that's for sure.
U2 music was relevant up to Zooropa. After POP they simply lost it. And even POP was composed mostly of Zooropa leftovers.
And this song rocks btw.

This whole album... so good... so so good.
Why are my eyes getting heavy? My body feels leaden. Try as I might I can't supress a yawn.
Ah, that's why - U2.
Or is that U2?

He's whining and crying in his Guinness.
Isn't U2 a "rock" band?
Where the streets go lame.

Right on Buddy. So well stated! Yes to all.
I agree with much of what Buddy wrote but to me U2 stopped innovating after "All That You Can't Leave Behind." I didn't like a single song from "Songs of Innocence." That whole album felt like they were laboring so hard to say Something Important but had no idea what that Something was. I loved U2 from the first time I heard their first album but I think they ran out of gas years ago.

Just re-listened to this album the other day.
Remembered why U2 always made my list of the Top 5 artists until being supplanted by others in the 2000s.
Brilliant song on a truly great album. 10

Nah. Not true. He is the one obsessed with stardom. His causes are dubious. He is a shameless self promoter. Note: he is a one of a kind. I complain of no one else in the Rock world (or celebrity world) for the same reasons. He is a joke.

What - you have to wait until you get 100% agreement from humanity that what you think is a good cause, is a good cause. Crap. God bless Bono and all the good works he tries to do.
And the band's new millennium albums each have 4 or 5 tracks that stack up with their early best. So slog off all ye haters.

This is their last album that as a whole was pretty damn good. Hit and miss from here.
"Between the horses of love and lust
we are trampled . . . under foot."
I just love that line.
we are trampled . . . under foot."
I just love that line.

This album marked U2's shift into pessimism and bitterness. This song perfectly reflects that.
This album is 20 years old yet it still sounds great after all these years. One of the albums I'll take with me to a deserted isle.

Worst track off, perhaps, U2's best album.... Things would have been very different if they'd have filled "Achtung Baby" with stuff like this... Bleurgh.
As an aside, history tells of one instance where Bono (already a mega-freakin-star) approached the great Don Van Vliet (aka Captain Beefheart), praising his work and expressing the wish to meet the Cap... Van Vliet managed to pass on this and, bewildered, asked a friend "Who is this Bongo? (sic)" Later, Bono would interview the Captain for a UK mag, where I understand Don complimented U2's work (which he -no doubt- would have lambasted back in his day).

Achtung in my favorite U2 album
Most of the tracks from "Achtung Baby" are good. That and "The Joshua Tree" are two of my favorites U2.
I like this song, very much - but I totally agree with fredriley (Nottingham, UK)
It bothers me for many reasons that stars like him, or others just work on their "Mingyu" their face, to feel better. Being famous, aknowledged and wealthy is not enough, they need to be heroes.
Well, it seems to work, so why not. I just don't want them to imagine I've been fooled...
It doesn't take away the pleasure of listening to some of their songs - human are complex, aren't they?

Agreed. The first time I heard this album after its release in the early 90s, I felt like it was a substantial (positive) developmental shift for U2. I listened to it over and over with an ear toward production, orchestration / musical arrangements, etc. It took some getting used to as a fan from their early days (i.e., Boy, October) but I quickly embraced it. Nice to hear one of the lesser known tunes from this project on RP.
Underrated song, underrated album. Good stuff.

Great show in Chicago on Saturday. Looking forward to Boston next week. My taste may be against the tide, but U2 is a great act live.

Digging on the absolutely awesome, understated rhythm guitar riffs!!!!!!!!! 
Well, at least it's nice to hear something off this album that hasn't been overplayed over the years.
I was so amazed by this album when it came out, then after years of the repeated play of many of the tracks, it has completely reined it for me. I don't blame U-2 or Bono for that of course, more the lack of main-stream radio to have the imagination to find more music. And, not to reply the same music for decades, so as to make me cringe when ever I hear it.

The man is human. I don't think he presents himself as otherwise.
Frankly, I respect what the man is doing. He has the ear of a great many people as a result of his fame. He could be more like.. I dunno, Paris Hilton who uses celebrity to get laid and/or make money... many others like that, she's just the first one who came to mind. Instead, Bono is using his celebrity to try and make the world a better place.
Why is that a negative?
Personally, I think he deserves respect for it. Think about how much easier it would be to just sit on your butt somewhere on a beach on your own private island with a couple of rent-a-babes. MMmmmm... ahem.

You know what I love about Radio Paradise?

And that is what puts Radio Paradise in a whole different league than most radio stations out there.
Well done!

No, "makes" is more appropriate. Whatever she's doing, she's doing it well enough that she gives you no choice but to watch.

Normally I'm behind all the other PG haters, but damn this was pretty high quality right here.
Their best album and the second best track, behind One.
One of the things I like about U2 is the way they keep changing their sound and evolving as a band. You may not like Pop or Zooropa, but at least they keep trying different things. Ten albums in the style of Boy would be a bit tiresome.
I always remember them being interviewed about Achtung Baby and they described the album as "four men chopping down The Joshua Tree" which considering the commercial success and critical acclaim lauded upon that album was a pretty brave comment.

I will say that I'm not as fond of their immediate recent stuff - the collaboration with Green Day, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, etc. (Though even the last album had some really nice tunes - just not as many as on past albums, IMO.)
This is a great U2 album. But this song is weak!
Whine, whine, whine. Kinda like a Irish Adam Duritz.

Kind of funny. I am not a very big U2 fan, but I have heard this comment all through their career. I heard it allot when this album came out. Again I'm not a fan, but there are allot of people whose lives have been deeply affected by this band and at every stage of U2s development they have inspired audiences. It's sad to see what they have become? I don't think it's sad for some one to blow their dreams and goals out of the water. A man would be fortunate to have 1/2 that amount of success (and I'm not just talking about money) in his life. I applaud them.

Yes, I'm sure Bono's going to start taking career advice from you. I'll make sure and forward your comments to him.
