When I turn around…I don’t want to see anyone sitting down
‘Cause ladies and gentlemen…we are in the company of greatness tonight.
Let me hear it for…Bono!

Me no bubblelitious
Me smoke heavy tar
Me be grooving slowly where you are
Notify my next of kin
‘Cause I’m never coming back
I’ve been dropping beats since Back in Black

And we’ll paint by numbers
Till something sticks
Don’t mind doing it for the kids / Oh no(?)
(So come on)

Jump on board
Take a ride, yeah
(You’ll be doing it alright)
Jump on board
Feel the high, Yeah
Cause the kids are alright

You’ve got a reputation
Well I guess that’s to be explored
You’re dancing with the chairman of the board
Take a ride on my twelve cylinder symphony
But if you’ve got other plans
The purpose of a woman is to love her man

And we’ll paint by numbers
Till something sticks / Woa
Don’t mind doing it for the kids
(So come on)

Jump on board
Take a ride, yeah
(You’ll be doing it alright)
Jump on board
Feel the high,  the high
‘Cause the kids are alright

I’m gonna give it all of my loving
It’s gonna take up all of my love
I’m gonna give it all of my loving
It’s gonna take up all of my love
I’m gonna give it all of my loving
It’s gonna take up all of my love
I’m gonna give it all of my loving
It’s gonna take up all of my love

Come down from the ceiling
I didn’t mean to get so high
I couldn’t do what I wanted to do
When my lips were dry
You can’t just up and leave me
I’m a singer in a band
Well I like drummers baby
You’re not my bag

Jump on board
Take a ride / Get those hands up
Jump on board
Feel the high, oh
Jump on board
Take a ride
Jump on board
Feel the high
(‘Cause the kids are alright)

Here, kitty-kitty
Here, kitty-kitty

(Jump on board) / Taking me ?
(Take a ride) / Making me want you, my love
Jump on board / Taking me ?
Feel the high / ‘Cause the kids are alright

You’re purrfect
Just make some noise, that’s all I can say
Oh yes, oh yes

Couple iffy parts at the end for Kylie. When I show Bono singing the chorus alone the backup singers are also singing. The Youtube stuff had horrible sound. The cd is great!

I thought this CD wasn't out until tomorrow?  At any rate, thanks for posting the lyrics.

I ordered my copy from CD WOW!, which is cheap but slow, so it may be a week or two before I can give it a listen.

Finally got to listen to this with headphones.  For Kylie's parts at the end, I'm hearing:

Taking me over, ready to die
Making me want you, my love
Taking me over, ready to die,
'Cause the kids are alright.

The rest sounds looks spot on to me, except you missed Bono's hissing right before "Here kitty kitty."

[slaneman]

Yep-works for me, thanks!

Nice..I actually think I hear that hiss..

It's a shame she's had to cancel some shows becuase of illness again.
