Kindergarten- The Alternative Achtung Baby

[Carl]

KINDERGARTEN – THE ALTERNATIVE ACHTUNG BABY

Some songs are pretty rough - I'm absolutely sure there are corrections to make. I'm on somewhat cheap earbuds now and vox levels are often a bit low.

[Carl]

[updated with a lot of slaneman's changes]

I'm ready
I'm ready for the laughing gas
I'm ready
I'm ready for what's next
I'm ready to slip
I'm ready to slide
Ready to accept
What I once denied
I'm ready, ready to begin

And I want to know
And I want to feel
And I want to know

I'm ready
I'm ready for the sound-wave
I'm ready
To wait for the team
I'm ready to jump
I'm ready for the ride
I'm ready to say
I'm glad to be alive
I'm ready, ready for the push

In the cool of the night
In the warmth of the breeze
I'll be crawling 'round
On my hands and knees

I want your love
And I want you here
And I want you now
And I want to know when I kiss your lip
Please speak to her tonight
When I want your love
When I want to know a woman in love
And I want to look, to look and feel…

(?? ready for the rush, Larry?)

I'm ready
I'm ready for the dancing girls
I'm ready
To take a fall

'Cause I want you close
And I'll touch the wind
And I kissed the sky
And I've lived in sin

And I need the love
And I need the sun
And I want them here
I want you here
I want you near
I want to let them down

I want your love
And I want to run
Nonsense you ??

Ooo...

[Carl]

I'm sliding
Sliding down the surface of things
Skin diving
Riding on the waves she brings

Won't you lay me down
In the silver sound
While the moon is high
There's no-one around

Now we're sliding
Sliding down the surface of things (yeah)

You're the real thing
Gimme gimme the real thing
Yeah, you're the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Child...

You're a drag star
Send me a song of speed
Your electric guitar
Is a habit I gotta feed

(check it, check it out)

You're a high-wire act
An acrobat
Wishing someone
Would take a wave at that

You're a drag star
I'll be your spin machine

(oh yeah, let's go, c'mon)

You're the real thing
Gimme gimme the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Child...

I want her there
(Oh, we're coming close to what she called)
(Rock n roll)
(Checking on skin and beaming love)

Take me higher
Take me higher
You take me higher
You take me higher

Take me higher
You take me higher
Take me higher
You take me higher

Even better than the real thing
Yeah, you're the real thing

[Carl]

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame

You said 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 get to carry each other
Carry each other
One...

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
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
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... (life)
One

Baby, baby, baby
Oh, high
Oh, high (yeah, yeah yeah)
Oh, high
Oh, high

[Carl]

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 like it was the end of the world

I took the money
I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
And 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
Love, love
Love, love love
Love love, love
Love love
Love, love, love

In my dream I was drowning the 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
Until the end of the world

[Carl]

You're innocence, I'm experience
The lonely windows of my room all look over you
Now the night has turned a different kind of blue
But it's too late, as you walk away
Black was I asking you to stay

I'm a sinner, you're the holy child
But your secret heart is a savage
Scratching at my door
And your lips of blood have me screaming out
For more and more

You cry, I'd kill for you
I lie, you made it true

Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea
Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Who would take the place of me

Took a drive in the dirty rain
Out to a place where the wind calls her name
Under the trees the river laughing
As she turns away
At the car door slam
And you backscratch, tear off
Your relief for love
And you beg, steal, lie
Like a thief for love

She says
Come on now love, don't you look back
Child, to love

Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Who's gonna ride your wild horses
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee
Oh now,

I want you now
Where are you now
The days are deep
And the night's too mean
Were you talking to me
Was it someone else
I could hear you better
When you cried for me
You do what you meant
Not what you said
Follow you down to the end
Baby

Don't you turn around, don't turn around again
Don't turn around, you gypsy heart
Don't turn around, don't turn around again
Don't turn around, and don't look back

Come on now love, don't you look back
Turn around

Who's gonna ride your wild horses

[Carl]

We crossed the line
Who pushed who over
It doesn't matter to you
I know it matters to me

We're cut adrift
But still floating
I know there's seven
Even? sides on your love
But I need some more

I disappeared in you
You disappeared in me
What you can't find in anyone else
You won't find in me

Heard you made a breakthrough
With your best friend
Said he'd love you
'til the parties end

I'm so happy
I could nearly attend
But I'm busy
Nothing's changed

Oh, love... to turn from you I'd be a fool
Oh, high... sweetheart
You're so cruel

Your heart is racing and I can't keep up
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust
We are trampled

Ride while there's still ink
Left in the night
Ride until the morning bleeds
Brand new life

Well there's summer love
In your hand
And a brand in your head

Oh hoo-ha... oh love and amber?
Oh ha-ha... let go
Oh, you're so cruel

This is your ?? in this game
Where the woman shelters
And the feeling that she brings

Oh love, love love love love

The ones who love you, you hate the most
Your spirit leaves behind a ghost
They can't have you
'Cause you're not there

Your heart is racing and I 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

[Carl]

[interesting to see this really mirrors the lounge fly mix lyrically]

(Oh, baby love it smells a good thing)

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that I left you, and still I don't know why
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
Baby I'd come to you baby, give some room

It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets ya help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something ya tell one other person
What do you think... child

[fly voice] 

A man will beg
A man will crawl
But it's never too late
To take his call
It's no secret at all

[/fly]

[fat lady voice]

Love...
Shine like a fading sky
She holds the moon in the sky
Oh Child

[/lady]

It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
Every secret made ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
And everyones included ‘cause everyone needs relief

[fly voice]

A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
It's no secret at all

[/fly]

[fat lady voice]

Love...
Live like a shouting star
She calls me soon and run...
Everything's 
Falling... apart...

[/lady]
 
(oh!)

[fat lady voice]

Love...
We'll shine like a burning star
We've fallen from the sky
Tonight

Love...
We'll shine like a burning star
We've fallen from the sky
Tonight

[/lady]

[fly voice] 
 
A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
It's no secret at all

[/fly]

[Carl]

Johnny take a walk with your sister the moon
Let her pale light in to fill up your room
You've been living underground
You've been eating from a can
You've been running away
From what you don't understand...
Love

A fear of falling
A fear of not jumping
A fear of failure
A fear of winning

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways, oh-ha
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways, oh love love

Johnny take a break, you've been staring at the sun
Don't you know they can't make it with everyone
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to turn her on
Then say how you feel it

You fear god
You fear no-one
You fear love
You fear woman

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways, oh-ha
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways, oh love love
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Lift my days, light up my nights, love


One day you will look... back
And you'll see... where
You were held... how
By this love... while
You could stand there
And not move on the moment
Move through the feeling

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in miracle ways, love
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways

It's alright, it's alright, alright
We move through miracle days
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Spirit moves in mysterious ways

Oh... love
Oh love, love love
Lift my days, light up my nights
Love

[Carl]

(yelping/talk)

Six O'Clock in the morning
You're the last to hear the warning
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) tryin' to throw your arms around the world

I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Woman be still
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Woman I will / (woman be still)

Sunrise like a nosebleed
Your head hurts and you can't breathe
You've been tryin' to throw you arms around the world
You want to eat and still be skinny
You want the prize without the winning
And you're trying to throw your arms around the world

I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Woman be still
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Woman be still

Oh dreamed that I saw Dali
With a supermarket trolley
He was trying to throw his arms around a girl
He took an open-top beetle
Through the eye of a needle
He was tryin' to throw your arms around the world

I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Woman be still
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Woman be still

Hey, hey
Hahaha

Your head feels like a cabbage
And you know you hit a savage
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 tryin' 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
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Woman be still
Woman be still
Woman be still
Woman I will

(it's quite nice, that one)

[Carl]

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
Where no one can sleep
I guess it's the price of love
I know it's not cheap

(Oh, come on)
Baby, baby, baby... light my way
(Oh come on)
Baby, baby, baby... light my way

Love, love
Ultraviolet love
Ultraviolet love
Ultraviolet love

Oh baby, baby, baby... light my way

I remember
When we could sleep on stones
Now we lie together
In whispers and moans
When I was all messed up
And I had opera in my head
Your love was a light bulb
Hanging over my bed

Baby, baby, baby... light my way
(Oh come on)
Baby, baby, baby... light my way

Love, love
Ultraviolet love
Ultraviolet love
Baby, baby, baby... light my way

Sometimes I feel like I don't know
Sometimes I feel like checkin' out
I wanna get it wrong
Can't always be strong
And love it won't be long...

Baby, baby, baby...
Baby, baby, baby...
Baby, baby, baby... light my way, yeah
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

[Carl]

(The sky...)
(Push em up against the wall)
(The sky comes tumbling in)

Don't believe what I hear
I don't believe what you see
I just closed my eyes
And I feel the enemy

Yeah 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 the cup
To drink it slow
And make it high
Without the low
And I can hope
But not too much
When I see that the wheel's
Turning 'round
So don't let the bastards grind you down

No, nothing makes sense
No nothing seems to fit
You know I'd hit out
If I only knew who to hit

If the sky turns to purple
And the moon turns to blood
Will you dig me out
When I'm face down in the mud?
Will you bail me out?

'Cause I can kiss
And you can tell
And I can strip
I'll do it well
And you can hold
And you can touch
And I know that the time is coming 'round
But I won't let the bastards grind let me down

Oh, it hurts baby
(What are we going to do now it's all been said)
(No new ideas in the house and every book's been read)

And you can kiss
And I can tell
And you can strip
You do it well
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 will
And you can call
I can't wait until
And you can smash
And you can seize
In dreams begin
Responsibilities
And I can love
And I can love
And I know that the tide is turning 'round
So don't let the bastards grind you down

[Carl]

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Mmm-hmm
Love is blindness

And the ships we sailed
On the stormy seas
It's the waves that crash
Inside of me
All my life
Love is blindness

In a parked car
On a crowded street
With a moment like
Made complete
Squeeze the handle
Love is blindness

Love is clockworks
And cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Oh my heart
Love is blindness

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Mmm-mmm
Blindness

Love is drowning
In a deep well
All the secrets
And no one to tell
Never-ending
Pretending
Love is blindness

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Mmm-mmm
Love is blindness

Love is clockworks
And a telephone line
We'll whisper inside
But she won't find
Oh my heart
Love is blindness
