B i o g r a p h y Combining the melodic jangle of post-Smiths indie-guitar pop with the lilting, trance-inducing sonic textures of late-'80s dream pop and adding a slight Celtic tint, the Cranberries became one of the more successful groups to emerge from the pre-Brit-pop U.K. indie scene of the early '90s. Led by vocalist Dolores O'Riordan, whose keening, powerful voice is the most distinctive element of the group's sound, the group initially made little impact in the United Kingdom. It wasn't until the lush ballad "Linger" became an American hit in 1993 that the band also achieved mass success in the U.K. Following the success of "Linger," the Cranberries quickly became international stars, as both their 1993 debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We, and its 1994 follow-up, No Need to Argue, sold millions of copies and produced a string of hit singles. By the time of their third album, 1996's To the Faithful Departed, the group had added distorted guitars to its sonic palette and attempted to make more socially significant music, which resulted in a downturn in the band's commercial fortunes. Originally, the Cranberries were a band called the Cranberry Saw Us. Brothers Noel and Mike Hogan (guitar and bass, respectively) formed the band in Limerick, Ireland, with drummer Fergal Lawler in 1990. Following the departure of the group's original singer, Niall, the trio placed an advertisement for a female singer. Dolores O'Riordan responded to the advertisement and auditioned by writing lyrics and melodies to some of the band's existing demos. When she returned with a rough version of "Linger," the group hired her on the spot. Shortly after she joined, the band recorded a demo tape which they sold in record stores throughout Ireland. After the original run of 300 copies sold out, the group truncated their name to the Cranberries and sent another demo tape, which featured early version of both "Linger" and "Dreams," to record companies throughout the U.K. The tape was made at Xeric studios, which was run by Pearse Gilmore, who would later become their manager. At the time the tape was made, all of the members were still in their late teens. The demo tape earned the attention of both the U.K. press and record industry and there soon was a bidding war between major British record labels. Eventually, the group signed with Island Records. The Cranberries headed into the studio with Gilmore as their producer to record their first single, "Uncertain." The title proved to be prophetic, as the band did indeed sound ill at ease on the single, leading to poor reviews in the press, in addition to tensions between the group and Gilmore. Before they were scheduled to record their debut in 1992, the Cranberries discovered that Gilmore had signed a secret deal with Island to improve his studios. The tensions within the band became so great they nearly broke up. Instead, the band severed all relations with Gilmore, hired Geoff Travis of Rough Trade as their new manager, and hired Stephen Street, who had previously worked with the Smiths, as their new producer. The Cranberries' debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?, was released in the spring of 1993, followed by a single of "Dreams." Neither the album or the single gained much attention, nor did a second single, "Linger." In the summer and fall of 1993, the band toured the United States, opening for The The and Suede, respectively; frequently, the Cranberries were given a friendlier reception than either of the headliners. The strong live shows led to MTV putting "Linger" into heavy rotation. By the end of the year, the single was on its way to becoming a crossover hit. Eventually, the single reached number eight on the U.S. charts, while the album went double platinum. Everybody Else and "Linger" began to take off in Britain in early 1994; the album eventually peaked at number one during the summer. O'Riordan married the band's tour manager, Don Burton, in a much-publicized ceremony in July of 1994. The marriage, as well as the group's videos, emphasized the singer as the focal point of the band. O'Riordan's position in the group continued to rise with the fall release of the group's second album, No Need to Argue. Boasting a slightly harder, more streamlined sound, yet still produced by Stephen Street, the record debuted at number six on the U.S. charts and eventually outsold its predecessor; within a year it went triple platinum, spawning the number one modern rock hit "Zombie" and the number 11 "Ode to My Family." During the tour for No Need to Argue, rumors began to circulate that O'Riordan was going to leave the band to pursue a solo career, all of which the band vehemently denied. Nevertheless, the rumors persisted until the band began recording their third album with producer Bruce Fairbairn, who had previously worked with Aerosmith. The resulting album, To the Faithful Departed, was a tougher, more rock-oriented album. Upon its spring 1996 release, the album entered the charts at number six, but its first single, "Salvation," failed to become a hit on par with "Zombie," "Linger," or "Ode to My Family." Consequently, the album slipped down the charts relatively quickly and only went platinum, which was slightly disappointing in light of its two predecessors' multi-platinum status. During the fall of 1996, the group canceled their Australian and European tour, sparking another round of rumors of whether O'Riordan was about to launch a solo career. In 1999, the group released Bury the Hatchet. |

Not sorry
Keep on looking through the window again,
But I'm not sorry if I do insult you.
I'm sad, not sorry, 'bout the way that things went,
And you'll be happy and I'll be forsakin' thee.

But you're so selfish, you don't see
What you're doing to me,
I keep on looking through the window again.

Linger
If you
If you could return
Don't let it burn
Don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everything
I swore
I swore I would be true
And honey, so did you
So why were you holding her hand
Is that the way we stand
Were you lying all the time
Was it just a game to you
But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
Oh I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you
If you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger
Wanted
Sittin' in an armchair,
With my head between my hands;
I wouldn't have to feel like this
If you'd only understand
Too many misunderstandings
Causing such delay
And if it doesn't work like this
Well I'll try another way
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand
You know that all I wanted was
To be there by your side
And if you didn't want it
Well you shouldn't have denied
You knew that you were someone special
Right from the start
But if you treat me badly
We'd be better off apart
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand
Oh, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand, understand
Oh, oh oh oh, oh...
Still can't
Still can't recognize the way I feel (I feel, I feel).
Nothing of what you said to me was real.
And you still can't find the strength,
To apologize, (-ogize, -ogize).
You just go on laughing and telling everyone lies.
'Cause you wanted it all, you wanted it all, you wanted it all.
No, and there's nothing at all,
There's nothing at all, there's nothing at all.
Maybe if you could see beyond,
Your nose, (your nose, your nose).
Nothing of what has happened surely shows.
But your ego excelled and then your attitude.
And you went on laughing and shouting,
It's all too shrewd.
'Cause you wanted it all, you wanted it all, you wanted it all.
No, and there's nothing at all,
There's nothing at all, there's nothing at all.
La na na na, la la...
Still can't recognize the way I feel (I feel, I feel).

Wanted it all, wanted it all, you wanted it all. (X 2)
I will always
And now, it's all the same to me,
So be whatever you want to be,
And go wherever you need to go.
And when it all seems like a mistake,
Take whatever you need to take,
And leave the rest for my own sake.
I will always,
Go beside you,
You will always,
Understand.
And now, it's all the same to me,
So be whatever you want to be,
And go wherever you need to go.
And when there's nothing left behind,
Taken whatever you needed to,
And leave it all into my mind.
I will always,
Go beside you,
You will always,
Understand.

Look, you're standing alone (Standing alone.)
How ever I should have known, (I should have known.)
Never before, never again,
You will ignore, I will pretend.
Never before, never again,

How you said you never would leave me alone, oh.

Now you're just walking away (Walking away),
When you said you always would stay (Always would stay.)
Never before, never again,
You will ignore, I will pretend.

Put me down
Let me take you by the hand,
Away from here to another land.
Oh, this land in which we live,
Where people love and are meant to forgive.
And you always put me wrong,
'Cause you're always putting me down.
I can't take this anymore.
I decided to leave,
Walked out through the door.
Oh, and why do you think I go?
Because you know it can never be so.
And you always put me wrong,
'Cause you're always putting me down.
La, la la la, la la la...
So let me take you by the hand,
Away from here to another land.
Oh, this land in which we live,

Ode to my family
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo...

'Cause I've spent half my life out there, you wouldn't disagree.
Do you see me? Do you see? Do you like me?
Do you like me standing there? Do you notice?
Do you know? Do you see me? Do you see me?
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness where's when I was young,
And we didn't give a damn,
'Cause we were raised,
To see life as fun and take it if we can.
My mother, my mother,
She hold me, she hold me, when I was out there.
My father, my father,
He liked me, oh, he liked me. Does anyone care?
Understand what I've become, it wasn't my desing.
And people ev'rywhere think, something better than I am.
But I miss you, I miss, 'cause I liked it,
'Cause I liked it, when I was out there. Do you know this?
Do you know you did not find me. You did not find.
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness where's when I was young,
And we didn't give a damn,
'Cause we were raised,
To see life as fun and take it if we can.

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo...
I can't be with you
Lying in my bed again,
And I cry 'cause you're not here.
Crying in my head again,
And I know that it's not clear.
Put your hands, put your hands,
Inside my face and see that it's just you.
But it's bad and it's mad and it's making me sad,
Because I can't be with you.
Be with you. (X 4)
Be with you, be with you, baby, I can't be with you.
Thinking back on how things were,
And on how we loved so well.
I wanted to be the mother of your child,
And now it's just farewell.
Put your hands in my hands,
And come with me, we'll find another end.
And my head, and my head on anyone's shoulder,
'Cause I can't be with you.
Be with you. (X 4)
Be with you, be with you, baby, I can't be with you.
'Cause you're not here, you're not here,
Baby, I can't be with you.
'Cause you're not here, you're not here,
Baby, still in love with you.
Still in love with you. (X 6)
Twenty one
I don't think it's going to happen anymore.
You took my thoughts from me.
Now I want nothing more.
And did you think you could just take it all away?
I don't think it's happ'ning, this is what I say.
Leave me alone, leave me alone,
Leave me alone 'cause I found it all.
Twenty one, twenty one, twenty one...
So I don't think it's going to happen anymore.
I don't think it's going,
To happen anymore.

Zombie
Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...
Another mother's breakin',
Heart is taking over.
When the vi'lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.
It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,

Empty
Something has left my life,
And I don't know where it went to, ah, ha, ha.
Somebody caused me strife,
And it's not what I was seeking.
Didn't you see me, didn't you hear me?
Didn't you see me standing there, ah, ha, ha?
Why did you turn out the lights?
Did you know that I was sleeping?
Say a prayer for me,
Help me to feel the strenght, I did.
My identity, has it been taken?
Is my heart breakin' on me?
All my plans fell though my hands,
They fell though my hands on me.
All my dreams it suddenly seems,
It suddenly seems,
Empty, i, i, i (X 7)
Everything I said
It makes me lonely,
It makes me very lonely,
When I see you here, waitin' on.
It makes me tired,
It makes me very tired,
And inside of me, lingers on.
But you have your heart, oh,
Don't believe it,
And you ran outside, waiting on.
Everything I said, oh,
Well I meant it,
And inside my head, holdin' on.
'Cause if I died tonight,
Would you hold my head, oh,
Would you understand?
And if I lied in spite,
Would you still be here,
No, would you disappear?
Surely must be you,
Surely must be you,
But I don't make you lonely.
I'll get over you,
I'll get over you,
But I don't make you lonely.

A disappointment.
Oh, you shouldn't have done,

Why did you sit here, ah...
In the grave, in the gra-a-ave.
In the grave, in the gra-a-a-ave?
Why should I blame her,
that she filled my days with misery,
Or that she would of late have taught
To ignorant men most violent
Ways or hurled the little streets upon the great.
Had they but courage equal to desire.
Sad that Maud Gonne couldn't stay,
Da da da da, but she had Mac Bride anyway.
And you sit here with me on the Isle Inisfree,
And you're writting down ev'rything.
But I know by now.
Why did you sit here, ah...
In the grave, in the gra-a-ave.
In the grave, in the gra-a-a-ave?
La da da da; La da da da...

Daffodil lament
Holding on, that's what I do since I met you.
And it won't be long. Would you notice if I left you?
And it's fine for some 'cause you're not the one,
You're not the one there...
There... there... there... there... there...
All night long, laid on my pillow,
These things are wrong.
I can't sleep here!
So lovely, so lovely, so lovely.
I have decided to leave you forever.
I have decided to start things from here.
Thunder and lightning won't change,
What I'm feeling and the daffodils look lovely today,
And the daffodils look lovely today,
Look lovely today.
Ooh, in your eyes I can see the disguise.
Ooh, in your eyes I can see the disguise.
Has anyone seen lightning?
Has anyone looked lovely?
And the daffodils look lovely today,
And the daffodils look lovely today,
Look lovely today...
Look lovely, (X 9)
Na, na. Na, na na na...
No
need to argue
There's no need to argue anymore.
I gave all I could, but it left me so sore.
And the thing that makes me mad,
Is the one thing that I had,
I knew, I knew,
I'd lose you.
You'll always be special to me,
Special to me, to me.
And I remember all the things we once shared,
Watching T.V. movies on the living room armchair.
But they say it will work out fine.
Was it all a waste of time.
'Cause I knew, I knew,
I'd lose you.
You'll always be special to me,
Special to me, to me.
Will I forget in time, ah,
You said I was on your mind?
There's no need to argue,
No need to argue anymore.
There's no need to argue anymore.
Ouuu, ouuu, ouuuu...
Special.

Hollywood
I've got a picture in my head, in my head.
It's me and you, we are in bed, we are in bed.
You've always been there when I call, when I call.
You've always been there most of all, all, all, all.
This is not Hollywood, like I understood.
Is not Hollywood, like, like, like.
X2
Run away, run away, is there anybody there? X2
Get away, get away, get awa-a-a-a-a-a-ay. X2
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh, oh...
I've got a picture in my room, in my room.
I will return there I presume, it should be soon.
The greatest irony of all, shoot the wall.
It's not so glamorous at all, all, all, all...
This is not Hollywood, like I understood.
Is not Hollywood, like, like, like.

Salvation
To all those people doin' lines,
Don't do it, don't do it.
Inject your soul with liberty,
It's free, it's free.
To all the kids with heroin eyes,
Don't do it, don't do it.
Because it's not not what it seems,
No no it's not not what it seems.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Ah, ah, ah, ah
To all the parents with sleepless nights,
Sleepless nights.

Clean their heads.

When you're gone
Hold onto love that is what I do now that I've found you.
And from above everything's stinking, they're not around you.
And in the night, I could be helpless,
I could be lonely, sleeping without you.
And in the day, everything's complex,
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you.
But I'll miss you when you're gone, that is what I do. Hey, baby!
And it's going to carry on, that is what I do. Hey, baby...
Hold onto my hands, I feel I'm sinking, sinking without you.
And to my mind, everything's stinking, stinking without you.
And in the night, I could be helpless,
I could be lonely, sleeping without you.
And in the day, everything's complex,
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you.
But I'll miss you when you're gone, that is what I do. Hey, baby!
And it's going to carry on, that is what I do. hey, baby...
Free to decide
It's not worth anything,
More than this at all.
I'll live as I choose,
Or I will not live at all.
So return to where you come from,
Return to where you dwell,
Because harassment's not my forte,
But you do it very well.
I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide,
And I'm not so suicidal after all.
I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide,
And I'm not so suicidal after all,
At all, at all, at all.
You must have nothing,
More with your time to do.
There's a war in Russia,
And Sarajevo too.
So to hell with what you're thinking,
And to hell with your narrow mind,
You're so distracted from the real thing,
You should leave your life behind, behind.
'Cause I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide,
And I'm not so suicidal after all,
I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide,
And I'm not so suicidal after all,
At all, at all, at all.
I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide,
And I'm not so suicidal after all,
At all, at all, at all.
War child
Who will save the war child baby?
Who controls the key?
The web we weave is thick and sordid,
Fine by me.
At times of war we're all the losers,
There's no victory.
We shoot to kill and kill your lover,
Fine by me.
War child, victim of political pride.
Plant the seed, territorial greed.
Mind the war child,
We should mind the war child.
I spent last winter in New York,
And came upon a man.
He was sleeping on the streets and homeless,
He said, "I fought in Vietnam."
Beneath his shirt he wore the mark,
He bore the mark with pride.
A two inch deep incision carved,
Into his side.
War child, victim of political pride.
Plant the seed, territorial greed.
Mind the war child,
We should mind the war child.
Who's the loser now? Who's the loser now?
We're all the losers now. We're all the losers now.
War child. X2

We were the rebels of the rebel scene.

It wasn't often, that we'd fight at all.

Tut, tut tut, tut...
We wore Doc Martens in the snow.
(We will never go)
Paint our toe-nails black and let our hair grow.
(We will never grow)
What I am now's what I was then.
(We will never know)
I am not more acceptable than them.
But, I am not more acceptable than them.

I just shot John Lennon
It was the fearful night of December 8th.
He was returning home from the studio late.
He had perseptively known that it wouldn't be nice.
Because in 1980, he paid the price.
John Lennon died. X6
With a Smith & Wesson 38,
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate.
He should have stayed at home,
He should have never cared,
And the man who took his life declared,
He said I just shot John Lennon.
He said I just shot John Lennon.
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight.
What a sad and sorry and sickening night.
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight.
What a sad and sorry and sickening night.
Ah, ah ah ah, ah...
I just shot John Lennon.

I'm still remembering
I'm still remembering the day I gave my life away.
I'm still remembering the time you said you'd be mine.
Yesterday was cold and bare, because you were not there.
Yesterday was cold, my story has been told.
I need your affection all the wa-ay.
The world has changed or I've changed in a wa-ay.
I try to remain, I'm trying not to go insa-ane.
I need your affection all the way, the way.
Get away X6
I'm still remembering my life before I became your wife.
I'm still remembering the pain and the mind games.
Reverse psychology never tainted me.
I didn't sell my soul.
I didn't sell my soul.
I need your affection all the wa-ay.
The world has changed or I've changed in a wa-ay.
I try to remain, I'm trying not to go insa-ane.
I need your affection all the way, the way.
They say the cream will always rise to the top.
They say that good people are always first to drop.
What of Kurt Cobain, will his presence still remain?
Remember JFK, ever saintly in a way.
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now, I said,
Where are you no-ow?
I need your affection all the way. X4
All the way. X10

This world is a wonderful place.
Will you remember the black limousine?
Will you remember champagne?
Will you remember the things that we've seen?
I will return here again.
Will you remember the flowers in my hand?
Will you remember my hair?
Will you remember the future we planned?
The world is not waiting out there.
I won't remember the dress I wore.
I won't remember champagne.
I won't remember the things that we swore.
I will just love you in vain.

Will you recall?

Oh, oh oh oh yeah...
There was a time, I was so lonely, oh hey yeah...
Remember the time, it was on Friday, oh hey yeah...
You made me feel fine, we did it my way, oh hey yeah...
I sat on your knees, every Friday, oh hey yeah...
We walked in fields of golden hay.
I still recall you.
We walked in fields of golden hay.
I see you in the summer.
Joe. Joe.
I sat on your chair, by the fire, oh hey yeah...
Transfixed in a stare, taking me higher, oh hey yeah...
Precious years to remember, oh hey yeah...
Childhood fears, I surrender, oh hey yeah...
We walked in fields of golden hay.
I still recall you.
We walked in fields of golden hay.
I see you in the summer.

Bosnia
I would like to state my vision,
Life was so unfair.
We live in our secure surroundings,
And people die out there.
Bosnia was so unkind.
Sarajevo changed my mind.
And we all call out in despair.
All the love we need isn't there.
And we all sing songs in our room.
Sarajevo erects another tomb.
Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo.
Bosnia was so unkind.
Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Saraje-
Bosnia was so unkind.
Sure things would change if we really wanted them to.
No fear for children anymore.
There are babies in their beds,
Terror in their heads,
Love for the love of life.
When do the saints go marching in? X4
Walk on tip toe...

Bury the
hatchet
Suddenly something has happened to me
As I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was feeling depressed
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry
Do you know you made me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing, the animal
The animal instinct
So take my hands and come with me
We will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry, no
They will never make me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
The animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal, it's the animal instinct in me x2
Loud
And Clear
I hope that you miss me
Put me down on history
I feel such a reject now
Get yourself a life
I hope that you're sorry
For not accepting me
For not adoring me
That's why I'm not your wife
People are stranger
People in danger
People are stranger
People deranged or
I remember there was
Nothing I could ever do
Never could impress you
Even if I tried
Tell somebody who cares
Fill the room with empty stares
Go to bed and say my prayers
Keep them satisfied
People are stranger
People in danger
People are stranger
People deranged
Loud and clear I make my point my dear
I hope that you never
Get the things you wanted to
Now I cast a spell on you
Complicate your life
Hope you get a puncture
Everywhere you ever drive
Hope the sun beats down on you and
Skin youself alive

You'd better hold on to your promises
Because you bet you'll get what you deserve.

So much for your eternal vows, well
It does not matter anyway.
Why can't you stay

Stay here awhile

What of all the things that you taught me
What of all the things that you'd say
What of all your prophetic preaching
You're just throwing it all away
Maybe we should burn the house down
Have ourselves another fight
Leave the cobwebs in the closet
'Cause tearing them out is just not right
Why can't you stay
Here awhile
Stay here awhile
Stay with me

Just
My Imagination
There was a game we used to play
We would hit the town on Friday night
And stay in bed until Sunday
We used to be so free
We were living for the love we had and
Living not for reality
It was just my imagination x3
There was a time I used to pray
I have always kept my faith in love
It's the greatest thing from the man above
The game I used to play
I've always put my cards upon the table
Let it never be said that I'd be unstable
It was just my imagination x3
There is a game I like to play
I like to hit the town on Friday night
And stay in bed until Sunday
We'll always be this free
We will be living for the love we have

Shattered
I'm trying to control myself
So please don't stand in my way
I've waited for the longest time
This is what I wanted in my way
Move over, move over
There's a climax coming in my way
Move over, move over
There's a climax coming in my way
I don't like you, don't compromise
Shattered by your weakness
Shattered by your smile
And I'm not very fond of you, and your lies
Shattered by your weaknesses
Shattered by your smile
All the kids are going back to school
The summer's over it's the golden rule
And now I'm coming out to play
So please don't stand in my way
And all the things that seemed once to be
So important to me
Seem so trivial now that I can see
Move over, move over
There's a climax coming my way x2
I don't like you, don't compromise
Shattered by your weakness
Shattered by your smile
And I'm not very fond of you, and your lies
Shattered by your weaknesses
Shattered by your smile
Please don't stand in my way

Time
is ticking out
We'd better think about the things we say
We'd better think about the games we play
The world went round, around and round
We'd better think about the consequences
We'd better think about the global senses
The time went down, the time went down
What about Chernobyl?
What about radiation?
We don't know, we don't know
What about deprivation?
Gluttony, the human nation?
We don't know, we don't know
For me love is all, for me love is all
For me love is all, for me love is all
Time is ticking out
Looks like we screwed up the ozone layer
I wonder if the politicians care
The time went down, the time went down
What about our children then?
Is there nothing left for them?
We don't know, we don't know
For me love is all, for me love is all
For me love is all, for me love is all
Ahh la la la the oxygen, ahh la la la the oxygen
For me love is all, for me love is all
For me love is all, for me love is all
Time is ticking out yeah
Time is ticking out
Dying inside
Terrible thing
It was a terrible thing to see her dying
It was a terribe thing
It was a terrible thing to see her dying inside
To see her dying
Won't you come out
And play the games we played
Won't you speak out
And say the things you'd say
The lady loved her gold
The lady lost her soul
It was a terrible thing
It was a terrible thing to see her dying
It was a terrible thing
It was a terrible thing to see her dying inside
To see her dying
Do you remember the things we used to do?
Do you remember the way it was for you?
The lady loved her gold
The lady lost her soul
It was a terrible thing
It was a terrible thing to see her dying
It was a terrible thing
It was a terrible thing to see her dying inside
To see her die

The

Come here, my lover
Something's on your mind
Listen to no other
They could be unkind
Hold on to the concept of love, always
Darling
Hold on to the concept of love, always
Take life between us
Live it like we choose
They'll never see us
I will hear you call
Hold on to the concept, always
Darling
Hold on to the concept, always
Night all night all night
Wake up
and smell the coffee
I, I went to hell
I might as well
Learn by my mistakes
I at twenty-four
Was insecure
Do whatever it takes
Come on and
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter
It's time, smell the coffee, the coffee
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter

She's so gorgeous
I'll lose everything, everyday

I
really hope
I've been down this road before
Now I'm coming back for more
This is like a déja-vu
I was born to be with you
Into the night we went to sleep
You and I were meant for keeps
Into the night we went to play
You and I
I really hope you'll always be
So in love with me
I really hope we'll always stay
So attached this way
I really hope you'll always be
So in love with me
I really hope we'll always stay
So attached this way
So beware of the pitfall
We don't have to change at all
And our light will not burn out
It's what freedom's all about
Into the night we go to sleep
You and I were meant for keeps
Into the night we go to play
You and I
I really hope you'll always be
So in love with me
I really hope we'll always stay
So attached this way
I really hope you'll always be
So in love with me
I really hope we'll always stay

I really hope we'll always stay
So attached this way
I really hope you'll always be
So in love with me
I really hope we'll always stay
So attached this way
I really hope that you'll always be here
I really hope that you'll always be near
Take me and like me I'll always be here
I really hope that you'll always be near
Every
morning
My God the years have passed me by
Where was I hiding?
I've been around the world for some time
It's oblivious now
The morning sun is in my eyes
It doesn't hide the lines
It does not bear
The great disguise
Happy birthday baby
Happy birthday
Every morning
Every morning in time
We're doing fine
Every morning
Every morning in time
We're doing fine
I don't remember being young
Was it so much fun?
I don't remember feeling this way
It was not for me
I payed a price
A sacrifice
It was worth it then
My time has come
I now feel young
Begin again
Happy birthday
Every morning
Every morning in time
We're doing fine
Every morning
Every morning in time
We're doing fine
Do you
know
Leaving awhile
Might as well smile
Might as well smile
I will be strong
We'll carry on
And I'll always hold on to my smile

New New York
New, new, new
New, new, new
New New York skyline
Wounds may heal in time
Don't crumble don't dismay
It's a new New York today
I look across these city streets
My heart is numb, it still beats
Nothing to say
There's nothing to say
I look across this empty room
My heart is still in gloom
There's nothing to say
I only can pray
New, new, new (x2)
New New York Skyline
Wounds may heal in time
Don't crumble don't dismay
It's a new New York today
I look across these city streets
My heart is cold, it beats
Thirtieth of May
Ground Zero today
New, new, new (x2)
I get on my knees and pray
For the heroes of the day
No more comfort I can find
For the loved ones left behind
They won't tear us apart! (x4)
No way!
New day!, new day!
*** Thanx a lot to Anne for this one ***
Stars
The stars are bright tonight
And I am walking nowhere
I guess I will be alright
Desire gets you nowhere
And you are always right
And my, you are so perfect
Take you as you are
I'll have you as you are
I'll take you as you are
I love you just the way you are
I'll have you just the way you are
I'll take you just the way you are
Does anyone love the way they are?
The stars are bright tonight
A distance is between us
And I will be okay
The worst I've ever seen us
Still I have my weaknesses
Still I have my strengths
And still I have my ugliness
But I…..
I love you just the way you are
I'll have you just the way you are
I'll take you just the way you are
Does anyone love the way they are? (x2)
Star, star...
*** Thanx a lot to Anne for this one ***
Reason
Nothing to say,
Nothing to do,
Nowhere to go,
And I can't get over it and be with you
I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
I don't know what you want
Is there anything that I can do?
'Cos if you were somewhere else instead
If you were in someone else's bed
If you were...
The look on your face
You'd told us to come here
A reason to be
Escaping from reality
I'll fight you in fear, indefinitely
A reason to be
Escaping from reality
'Cos if you were somewhere else instead
If you were in someone else's head
If you were...
Nothing to say
Nothing to do
Nowhere to go
And I can't get over it and be with you
I don't know what to say
I don't know what to do
I don't know what you want
Is there anything that I can do?
'Cos if you were somewhere else instead
If you were in someone else's bed
If you were...
Them
Don't listen to what they say,
Make up your mind, walk away,
Oh don't even give them the time of day,
They put you wrong, turn away.
So why'd they all just walk away,
There was something wrong,
But you don't want to say.
Oh why did they listen to someone else,
I did something wrong,
Something...
Oh that attitude,
They all got that attitude.
Something they say,
Make up your mind, walk away,
Oh oh never happen again,
They've all gone wrong, gone insane.
That's why they all just walked away,
There was nothing wrong,
Didn't want to say.
Oh that's why they listened to somebody else,
I did nothing wrong,
Nothing I could say.
That's why, that's why
That's why, that's why
What you were
Now it's easy for to see,
Why peoples lives are so lonely?
And you never understood,
You never really could,
You were wrong.
What you were, what you were,
I couldn't say.
'Cause you left me here behind,
A stupid state of mind,
And I'm lonely.
Yeah, you left me here behind,
A stupid state of mind,
And you're gone.
'Cause you left me here behind,
A stupid state of mind,
And you're gone.
What you were, what you were,
I couldn't say.
It took something hard like this,
Mistaken to resist,
And I'm lonely.
Liar
Say it if you want to and say it if you will
But if you don't say what you are thinkin'
No, I won't take too kindly to it.
And all I want is something special,
And you can't give it to me,
And all you do is lie to me,
'Cause you're a liar, liar, liar.
I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar,
I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar...
Say it if you want to,
And say it if you choose
But if you don't say what you are thinkin'
No I won't take too kindly to it
When all I want is something different
And you could't give it to me
And all you do is lie to me
So you're a liar, liar, liar.
I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar,
I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar...
I'll fight you, I'll fight you
I'm fighing you
Liar, liar, liar
You know you're a liar,
Liar...
Turn Away, Turn Away
From Me, From Me
And I pray, yes I pray
For thee, for thee, for thee-ee-ee
Another World
Wrapped up inside another place
And I hope, and I pray
That the pain goes away,
Yes I pray, Yes I pray, for thee-ee-e> Turn Away, Turn Away
From Me, From Me
And I pray, yes I pray
For thee, for thee, for thee-ee-ee
Turn Away, Turn Away
From Me, From Me
And I pray, yes I pray
For thee, for thee, for thee.
I don't need
The world is consuming me and I don't feel so happy here today
I'm not and I don't feel and I used to be a baby in my head
So where is the one you love? Does she hold you happy next to her?
And your head hangs lightly and everyone's slightly drunk tonight
They're drunk tonight again, la-la-la etc.
I Don't need to see you, no, no, no etc.
I Don't need to see you, no, no, no etc.
My head it is hanging now and my eyes are on the ground, the ground, the ground
And everyone's so patronizing I don't see when the real things comes around
So where is your mother now, did she hold you happy next to her
And your head hangs lightly and everyone's slightly drunk tonight
They're drunk tonight again, la-la-la etc.
I Don't need to see you, no, no, no etc.
I Don't need to see you, no, no, no etc.
And maybe no work done today, no work done today. No. No. No.
No work done today. No. No. No. No, work done today.
Close to you
( The Carpenters )
Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you...
Why do stars fall off from the sky
Everytime you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be,
Close to you...
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
They decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
And put a starlight in your eyes so blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you, all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you...
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you....
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you....
Aah...
Close to you...
So cold in Ireland
Here is a story
Of hope and of glory.
He's eighteen years old
And well I fell in love.
But after that,
Where have you gone, from me?
The one that I loved endlessly.
We used to have a life,
But now it's all gone.
Mystify...
Does it have to be so cold in Ireland?
Does it have to be so cold in Ireland, for me?
Are they ready for me?
Where have you gone, from me?
The one that I loved endlessly.
We were to have a child.
Yesterday's gone.
Well I knew the time would come.
When I'd have to leave.
Go on.
Look what they've done to me.
They've taken my hand...
And it's killing me.
Killing me, killing me, killing me!
Does it have to be so cold in Ireland?
Does it have to be so cold in Ireland, for me?
Are they ready for me?
But I'm afraid I'm returning to Ireland.
I'm afraid I'm returning to Ireland.
I see, that there is nothing for me.
There is nothing for me.
Cordell
Once you ruled my mind,
I thought you'd always be there.
And I'll always hold on to your face.
But everything changes in time,
And the answers are not always fair.
And I hope you've gone to a better place.
Cordell,
Time will tell,
They say that you've passed away,
And I hope you've gone to a better place.
Time will tell,
Time will tell,
They say that you've passed away,
And I know that you've gone to a better place.
Cordell X7
Your lover and baby will cry,
But your presense will always remain,
Is this how it was meant to be?
You meant something more to me,
That what many people will see,
And to hell with the endless dream.
Cordell,
Time will tell,
They say that you've passed away,
And I hope you've gone to a better place.
Time will tell,
Time will tell,
We all will depart and decay,
And we all will return to a better place.
Cordell X7
Na, na, na...
The picture I view
I haven't changed but my life has
People are strange when it's like as
I did something wrong to them
And I don't even know your name...
No, I don't even know your name...
I swear that he's good for me,
And I swear he looks after me,
And I swear that he looks out for me...
And I swear that he's good, good, good.
La, la, la, the picture I view,
La, la, la, the picture I view...
All my friends and promises,
Went tumbling down the hill.
All my friends and promises,
Went tumbling down the hill,
They went tumbling down the hill.
I haven't changed, but my life has,
People are strange when it's like as,
I did something wrong to them,
And I don't even know your name.
No, I don't even know your name.
I don't even know your name.

Go
Your Own Way
( Fleetwood Mac Tribute )
Loving you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feel
If I could
Maybe I'd give you my world
How can I
When you won't take it from me
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You an call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up's all you wanna do
If I could
Baby I'd give you my world
Open up
Everything's waiting for you
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You an call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
Ah, ah, ah...
*** A great thanx to Rafet For this

God be
with you
The truth will ever hide
Even though I tried
They tried to take my pride
But they only took my father from me
They only took my father
Even though I cried
Even though I tried again
God be with you Ireland
God be with you Ireland
Sometimes I was afraid
Even though I prayed
I've lost my religion now
You took that too somehow
Blood upon thy hands
Blood upon thy hands again
(I have served my time)
God be with you Ireland
(Suffered for my crime)
God be with you Ireland
(I have served my time)
God be with you Ireland
(Suffered for my crime)
God be with you Ireland
God be with you now
God be with you now
God be with you now
God be with you now

Blues
I wonder what's
happening to me
Things are changing so dramatically
I'll search for you, you're not really there
Still I wonder knowing that you do care
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up, I shut up,
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up now
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up, I shut up,
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up now
I shut up now, I shut up now
I shut up now, I shut up now
He is the best thing to come my way
Perfect picture baby blues in my day
He is the best thing to come around
Sleeping in his cradle safe and sound
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up, I shut up,
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up now
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up, I shut up,
I shut up, I shut up, I shut up now
I shut up now, I shut up now
I shut up now, I shut up now
Baby blues, baby blues,
Baby, baby, baby blues

Sweetest
Thing
I am getting ready for my lover,
He is coming home to me tomorrow,
I am getting ready for no other,
He is, the sunshine in, the moonlight of my day.
He as never had to disappoint me,
He was the Sweetest thing,
The neediest thing in my life,
I am getting ready for my lover,
He is, the sunshine in, the moonlight of my day.
It's only fair that you be there with me,
And hold my hand
It's only fair that you be there with me,
And understand
It's only fair, if you really dare,
To hold my hand
It's only fair that you be there with me
Pitum pitum pitum...
I remember sweetness in my childhood,
It was the sweetness child, the world was my understood,
I remember sweetness in my mother,
She did the best she could,
She always would for us
Don't you ever have to disappoint me,
It's only fair that you be there with me,
and hold my hand
It's only fair that you be there with me,
And understand
It's only fair, if you really dare,
To hold my hand
It's only fair that you be there with me
Pitum pitum pitum...
Talilalila...the sweetest thing...

I'll try to be nice, be nice if I can
I will try to be nice and please my man
I'll try to let on that it's a perfect day
And I'll try to pretend she's going away
I'll try to let on that she never persisted
I'll try to let on she never was twisted
I'll try to pretend she doesn't exist
And I'll try to let on that you never kissed her
Kissed her, kissed her, kissed her, kissed her, kissed her, kissed her, kissed
her
You don't see things like I do
You don't see things like I do
La la la la la la
I don't believe that she has the audacity
I don't believe that woman without pride
Woman without pride, woman without pride, women without pride, women without
pride
You don't see things like I do
You don't see things like I do
Well, I feel so sorry
for you
You'll always be the same.
'Cause you're sad, you're sad.
And I think you're very selfish,
And you play a vicicious game,
'Cause you're bad, you're bad.
And you'll end up very lonely
And you may end up in pain
'Cause you're mad, you're mad.
I think you're awful,
I think you're horrible,
A waste of space
I think you're awful,
I think you're horrible,
A waste of space
'Cause your bad behavior
But you never see.
Such a shame, such a shame
You'll always be the same
I'm sickened for the mother
Who endured your pain.
Such a shame, such a shame
You'll always be the same
I'm sickened for the mother
Who endured your pain.
Arrogance, ignorance,
Arrogance, ignorance,
Arrogance, ignorance...
Ooh, ooh...
I should think you're very selfish
I should think you're very sad,
It's your bad behavior.
I should think you're very thankless
For the things you never had
It's your bad behavior.
I think you're awful,
I think you're horrible,
A waste of space.
I think you're awful,
I think you're horrible,
A waste of space.
It's your bad behavior
Who care, but you never see.
Such a shame, such a shame
You'll always be the same
I'm sickened for the mother
Who endured your pain.
Such a shame, such a shame
You'll always be the same
I'm sickened for the mother
Who endured your pain.
Such a shame, such a shame
Such a fool, such a fool
Such a clown, such a clown
Such a shamble...
Such a shame, such a shame
Such a fool, such a fool
Such a clown, such a clown
Such a shamble...
Such a shame, such a shame
Such a fool, such a fool
Such a clown, such a clown

Paparazzi On
Mopeds
As I lie here in
the bathtub I wonder
And I wonder why did they take her
And squeeze her life away
Paparazzi on mopeds
Fresh air in their heads
Paparazzi on mopeds
Cotton wool balls in their hand, ah...
So ugly, so ugly
Why, you just can't justify
So ugly, so ugly
Why, they even watched her die
So ugly, so ugly
Why
Who was to blame
Was there too much champagne or wine
It could have been fine
Still I knew
A bad déjà-vu
Another celebrity dies
And it still mystifies the people
Another icon is destroyed, ah
So ugly, so ugly
Why, you just can't justify
So ugly, so ugly
Why, they even watched her die
So ugly, so ugly
Why, you can't, you can't justify
Justify
Even watched her die
( Dolores O'Riordan on the
Evilenko Soundtrack - 2004 )
No way out
There is no way out of here
No way out
There is no way out
This is eternal pain
Adiuva me, Sanctus Spiritus
(Help me, Holy Spirit)
No way out
There is no way out of here
No way out
No comfort for those
Who lost love
Angels go to Heaven
Angels go to Heaven
Angels go to Heaven

Capetown
( Wake up
and Smell the Coffee Bonus track )
I'm anticipating my
trip to Africa
How i have always been waiting
Far too long
I'm not going to soundcheck
There's too much to do
I'm not going to soundcheck
I might fall for you
Rum dum dum dum dum day Africa
Rum dum dum dum dum day fall for you
Five o'clock in the morning
My feet will touch the ground
Five o'clock in the morning
No no sound
We could take a safari
All around
Go see Table (top) Mountain
In Capetown
Rum dum dum dum dum day Africa
Rum dum dum dum dum day fall for you

False
Something has changed and I don't know what to say.
I used to stand here alone and in my mind say...
The people who're calling you soon turn away
They could hate you tomorrow and love you today..
Because they're false
People can be so false sometimes
When they hold my hands
People can be so false sometimes
Something is standing in my way and I can't see
It's clouding up my vision it intimidates me
I didn't want to come here in the first place
You all designed it you all designed it
Because they're false
People can be so false sometimes
When they hold my hands
People can be so false sometimes
I didn't want it
I didn't want to come here...
In the first place
I didn't want it
I didn't want to come here...
In the first place
( Dolores O' Riordan Demo 2005 )
I see you playing
In the garden
Outside my window
Oh, oh oh
You're like your father
I see right through you
Just like your father
I thought I knew you
Oh, oh oh, oh
It's a panic
In paradise
It's a panic
It's in paradise
(Round and round, and round)
(And round, and round)
You can't come here
You can't cry
(Round and round, and round)
(And round, and round)
You can't come here
You can't cry
(Round and round, and round)
(And round, and round)
I see her playing
In the garden
I was once like her
You did this to me
I don't remember
When this offense begun
I don't remember
I can't undo what's done
(Round and round, and round)
(And round, and round)
You can't come here
You can't cry
(Round and round, and round)
(And round, and round)
You can't come here
You can't cry
(Round and round, and round)
(And round, and round)
You can't come here
You know why
(Round and round, and round)
(And round, and round)
You can't come here
You know why
(Round and round, and round)
(And round, and round)
I'll keep my secret
With me until I die
I'll keep my secret
And I don't know why
(Round and round, and round)
(And round, and round)
You can't come here
You can't cry
(Round and round, and round)
(And round, and round)
You can't come here
You know why
(Round and round, and round)
(And round, and round)
I can't go there
I won't cry
(Round and round, and round)
(And round, and round)
I can't go there
I won't cry

In the
ghetto
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way
Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
and he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto
Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto
As her young man dies,
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
( Dolores O' Riordan Demo 2005 )
If you live
In a dream World
Find it hard
To let go
If you give
Your affection
You will learn
To let go
Told her you'd there
You must be strong
She'll be with your father
And, they will be one
In heaven
In heaven
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh
If you lose (uh uh uh, uh uh uh)
Your direction (uh uh uh, uh)
Never fear (uh uh uh, uh uh uh)
Let it go (uh uh uh, uh)
How you live (uh uh uh, uh uh uh)
How you love life (uh uh uh, uh)
You will never (uh uh uh, uh uh uh)
Be alone (uh uh uh, uh)
Told her you'd there
You must be strong
She'll be with your father
And, they will be one
In heaven
In heaven
(In heaven)
(In heaven)
In heaven
In heaven
In heaven
In heaven
In heaven
In heaven
In heaven
In heaven
In heaven

Like
you used to
When I think about the things I said to you last night
Well I was wrong, I didn't know what I was saying
Anything that wants you
You used to hold me so tight
But now it's gone, and you drastically ??
Don't you love me anymore, anymore, anymore?
Don't you see me, like you used to?
Like you used to.
You used to see me like nobody else could,
And now it's gone, the way you're falling forever, ever.
And when they told me then that you were no more
Should I leave? Or should I take it all behind me?
Don't you love me anymore, anymore?
Don't you see me, like you used to?
Like you used to.
I'm falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down
I'm falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down
I believe you.
Mirror Lover
( Dolores O'Riordan with Jam & Spoon - Tripomatic Fairytales 3003 LP - 2003
There she goes, a real life reverie
Every move a pose, every curve a melody
There she goes, little can you know
You're just another dish on her menu
Cause she gathers glances
Puts them in her basket
Bathes in them and soaks herself
When she is all alone, all alone
She's addicted to your stares
But you could fade for all she cares
Your admiration gets her high
Just the thought of it can make her sight
She's a mirror lover, a mirror loving lady
She don't need a lover, get the message, baby
She's a mirror lover, a mirror loving lady
She breathes it in, fills her lungs with more
Of your devotion, that is all she needs you for
Fills her tank, sips on words like wine
Saves the rest for when you're gone tonight
Cause she gathers glances
Puts them in her basket
Bathes in them and soaks herself
When she is all alone, she's all alone
She's addicted to your stares
But you could fade for all she cares
Your admiration gets her high
Just the thought of it can make her sight
She's a mirror lover, a mirror loving lady
She don't need a lover, get the message, baby
She's a mirror lover, a mirror loving lady
One-woman show
Her aphrodisiac is her desired reflection
One-woman show
You're just her appetizer
You won't feel or taste her either
(One-woman show)
She's a mirror lover, a mirror loving lady
(Self-obsessed girl)
She don't need no lover, get the message, baby
She's a mirror lover, a mirror loving lady
*** Thanx a lot to Angel for this one ***
Nothing left at all
Know it's over but the thoughts of you go on,
Nothing here, nothing left at all.
How I swore that I would would never feel like this again,
But then you , you brought it through.
Oh no is there any reason I should walk away,
Is it wrong, is it wrong to want to stay,
And I know if I had the choice I'd never let you go,
Do you know, do you really want to know.
Well now the thoughts of you just circle in my mind,
Hard to find, you were really hard to find.
Oh and although, though I swore I'd never feel like this again,
I can't take it anymore.
Because I know if I had the choice I'd never let you go,
Do you know, do you really want to know.
And I didn't think, I didn't think I'd think about you in this way,
Well really, you really made my day.
Now, now it's over but the thoughts of you go on,
Nothing here, nothing left at all.
How I swore I'd would never feel like this again,
But then you, you brought it through.
Pathetic sense
Time is an illusion baby, I'm on your side.
Love is a confusion baby, You'll never hide.
Come to the conclusion baby, Your love has died.
Time is an illusion baby, I'm on your side.
Time is an illusion baby, I'm on your side.
Love is a confusion baby, You'll never hide.
Come to the conclusion baby, Your love has died.
Time is an illusion baby, I'm on your side.
I want to jump on your head,
Until I get blisters,
I will drop bombs on your bed,
You'll be calling your sisters cos
Time is an illusion baby, I'm on your side.
Love is a confusion baby, You'll never hide.
Life was an attraction baby, but you never tried.
Now it's an attraction maybe, You should have died.
I want to jump on your head,
Until I get blisters,
I will drop bombs on your bed,
You'll be calling your sisters cos
Time is an illusion baby, I'm on your side.
Love is a confusion baby, You'll never hide.
Come to the conclusion baby, Your love has died.
Time is an illusion baby, I'm on your side.
Pathetic senses, I'm on your side.
Pathetic senses, I'm on your side.
Pathetic senses, I'm on your side.

If not tonight
This is the strangest feeling
Something I can't control
Do I play the fool for you?
[Zucchero]
If not tonight
Waiting forever
Just to see your face
Waiting is all that I seem to do
Yeah-yeahhh
Puro Amore
Will another night exist like this again?
Yeah-yeahhh
Solo Amore
We will never get this moment back again
[Zucchero]
If not tonight
Underneath those stars
[Both]
Beneath the crescent
[Zucchero]
Sinking down into the sea
[Dolores]
It's not the time
That I will wait forever
If this is what you want
Waiting will be the end of me
Yeah-yeahhh
Puro Amore
Will another night exist like this again?
Yeah-yeahhh
Solo Amore
We will never get this moment back again
[Zucchero]

Take my
soul away
That was some revealing light
That you shone on me last night
Have you turned away from me
Because you know that I can't see?
But if you leave me in the night,
Well then you're leaving me in spite
And if you leave me in the day
Well then you'll take my soul away
Nothing ever happens to me
Though I still can't see the things that you see.
Was anybody there?
Does anybody care?
No, nobody to show me the way
No, nobody to tell me to stay
No, nobody was there
No, nobody does care
That was some revealing light
That you shone on me last night
Have you turned away from me?
Because you know that I can't see
And if you leave me in the night
Well then you're leaving me in spite
And if you leave me in the day
Well then you'll take my soul away
If you leave me in the night
Well then you're leaving me in spite
And if you leave me in the day
Well then you'll take my soul away.
The butterfly
( Angelo Baldarameti feat. Dolores O'Riordan )
I sat there
Waiting and waiting
The sun light feel
The willow seal
I sat upon
He could feel my eyes following him
As he furthered
Helplessly
How could you fear something so beautiful
I will take with the palm of my hands
I will bring you into her world for you to see
There was nothing to fear for
You're afraid of me
There was nothing to fear for
You're afraid of me
She sat there
Smiling as i approached her
My revelation
For her to see
Her greatest fear was beautiful
And he put a dream affecting even me
How could you fear something so beautiful
I will take with the palm of my hands
I will bring you into her world for you to see
There was nothing to fear for
You're afraid of me
There was nothing to fear for
You're afraid of me
You're afraid of me
*** Thanx a lot to Angel fot this one ***
The sun
does rise
Nightime has when all was still
Moon shone the way as we climbed the hill
When we arrived we raised our hands
Now the down has come now we understand
The sun does rise in the eastern sky
And love soon comes watch over I
The road was long yes we travelled far
Thought long dark nights without guiding star
Visions of an angel came along the way
Told us "don't be fearful for there comes a brighter day "
The journey's been an epic
Sometimes I've been so down
Stranded in a lonely bar the other side of town
Yes we've travalled day and night for many a poor mile
Now it all makes sense as we see the morning smile.
Uncertain
Tears on your face honey
You're a total disgrace, oh why
Why did you bring me here
Oh start all over again honey
You still treat me the same, oh why
Why did you bring me here
Oh you had everything
I could ever want
Won't you tell me why
Why can't you live here
Oh so uncertain in love
you're so uncertain in love
So uncertain in love
Driving in the car honey
You mistook me by far, oh why
Why did you bring me here
Leaves in the wind
You had nothing to send, oh why
Why did you bring me here
*** Thanx a
lot to Nate who corrected a

Yesterday's
gone
I heard she loved you, I heard she cared,
I heard she miscarried and you were scared.
Did you run from the one,
Who conceived your child?
Yesterday's gone there's no return,
And she cries all night.
Did you run from the one
Who conceived your child?
Yesterday's done there's no return,
And she cries all night.
Solo.
I believe that a woman can be a slave to a man.
I believe that love that you gave and we try it again.
Will you return to the one,
Who conceived your child?
Yesterday's gone there's no return,
And she cries all night.
Will you return to the one,
Who conceived your child?
Yesterday's done there's no return,
And she cries all night.
Did you run from the one,
Who conceived your child?
Yesterday's gone there's no return,
And she cries all night.
