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

2024.....Bump!
Great song and great movie.
The end is nigh.
Great album!! Thanks Columbia House for the free CD! 🤣🤣👍🏼
This album is "straight fire," as the kids would say these days. Packed full of exciting, engaging songs. Makes me a little sad to see what U2's become in the years since, I must admit.
Incredible song, such power, such -- TRUTH... I recall sitting in Kevin's Jeep Cherokee before we saw them play in Denver at the Pepsi Center; post-9-11 All That You Can't Leave Behind tour, and we were pre-gaming; stoning up, drinking a toast, and this song came on... I had only few hours before had endured yet another soul-crushing talk with the soon-to-be ex-, and then I got to talk with my young son, and I could actually hear her whispering lies and fear into his other ear and prompting him to ask me questions that only further betrayed her evil manipulations to pull him further and further away from me, helping to create a distance that largely and painfully remains to this day... Kevin knew and could relate tp my sufferings; he had already been through a Shawshank Redemption-type muck-crawl with his ex- a decade before, and had since struck solid gold on his second try, and he said, "I think you need this U2 show more than anyone I know... Let's go!" It lives on as the best show either of us has ever seen...
I became a fan in 1983 with War and quickly listened to their first 2 lps. I see people on here critique the bands choice to grow and try different types of music and then dislike them. I am still a huge fan, have seen them live 4 times and appreciate the fact that not every song or album sounds the same. I wish other big bands could follow suit. Grow and expand. Don't hate them for their talent. I love their earliest stuff, but will listen to anything they record. I am 3/4 Irish, and feel a bond.

Very Super Awesome Song!!!
in my opinion the last great U2 song they recorded. Yes, I'm one of those haters that considers Achtung Baby their last great album.
GREAT TUNE!! Thanx RP! 
Peak u2 🍻

This is indeed great poetry, but it is not about a girl.
The song is a recounting of the Gospel story of Judas' betrayal of Jesus, identifying to the temple soldiers by kissing him in the Garden of Gethsemane (I kissed your lips and broke your heart") after the Last Supper (the "low-lit room" where they ate "the bread and wine").
It is an incredible examination of the conscience of perhaps the most famous traitor of history. The singer feels damned even against the promise of infinite forgiveness.
Jesus told his disciples he would be with them until the "end of time" which is where the song get its title.
In concert, Bono often begins this song by screaming "JUDAS!" The live version ends with one of the most intense climaxes of any of their (or anyone's) performances.
One of the many ingenious devices of U2 is getting us to rock out without realizing we are singing stories from the bible!

A month and a half ago.. has it only been that long since The Great Weirdness really took hold? It seemed like this song wouldn't leave my head. As Covid 19 learned to swim and there wasn't enough liquor to drown or sterilize it, or a paddle big enough to smash it's fingers off the gunnels.
Currently feeling less panicked - but still eying the news each morning wondering what the covidiots would surprise us with next, and waiting...

U2 at the top of their game. With the Gesthemene theme and the phat guitar it could be their best song.

One of my favorite U2 songs. Maybe one of my fav songs, period. Very good on its own, directly connected to a decent flick of the same name, and a tune that's synonymous with a premier band.

Classic. I have a feeling that if this song was was written and played by another band in exactly the same way it would be way more known and loved than it is. By U2 it gets overshadowed because it's a little more conventional than some other things they were doing.
Truly at the top of their game
7 -> 8 - Most Excellent
This is simply U2! Thanks for passing it right way when I most needed to listen to it.

I always feel compelled to read the comments surrounding any U2 song, as the band is more prone to haters than most on RP. That said, this is a good song and the haters hate less on this song than most other U2 songs on RP. So that has to mean something, right?
The story of Jesus and Judas the night of the Last Super.
ugh this song is my life
One of my ALL TIME favorite songs! Never gets old. And always makes me fondly think of the Wim Wenders film of the same title. I've owned the VHS copy (US short edit) ever since it was available. Wish it would become available on DVD or BluRay. Last year I finally had an opportunity to watch a special screening of the 4 hour version —WOW, blew my mind. So fun to watch it with a theater full of fans, seeing it on the big screen. All the extended scenes really put a whole new spin on the story I THOUGHT I already knew inside and out....
Is the narrator of the song Judas?

I'm not a huge fan of Edge but this track is decent.
Yes, I agree. The criticism of him - or any guitarist - using "too many effects" is kind of silly anyhow. Oddly enough, that was occasionally a criticism of Jimi Hendrix years ago, though not much these days. Should everyone just record acoustic guitars into microphones?

Everyone I know is every time BLOWN AWAY by THIS SONG! Oh my God it is an incredible testament to the talent and mastery of U2
Exactly. Edge isn't Hendrix, never claimed he was. In fact, he was originally considered one of the post-punk rock guitar anti-heroes in the day. I love the sounds he makes. And U2 in Philly two weeks ago was simply phenom.

Inclined to agree. Great energy is what I think of while listening.
However, Joshu Tree was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the US Library of Congress in 2014 and selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry.
So what do I know? Just enjoy the music.

Love this song.... What a rock in bass line. Will always remind me of when I was stationed in Germany when this CD came out.
You miss too much these days if you stop to think.
I think this applies even more today (almost 30 years later), to the "social media generation".

Amazing, the orchestral fills and swells of sound that Edge gets out of his mad guitar; I never get tired of freaking out to the power in it!

While The Joshua Tree is considered their greatest work Achtung Baby is a very very close second! I still like their music they produce today, but those two albums are very special!
Great thundering bass and Celtic drumbeats, what an amazing start to a song! (like so many of their best ones, too) and IT SIZZLES...
U2 in a Minor Key
Achtung Baby is definitely one of those forgotten albums, like Beatles for Sale, but it was a corker then and it's always welcome now.
Back when U2 made good music! ; )
Great song. 
Ah U2 from the "Are they still around years"
