Cranberries

Ode to my family

(tentatively from their next CD)

Understand the things I say
Don't turn away from me
'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 was when I was young
We didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fine
Take it if we can

My mother, my ma
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 design
And people everywhere
They sob, think 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 notice?  Do you know you did bad by me,
You did bad by --
Does anyone care?

Unhappiness was when I was young,
We didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fine,
Take it if we can

My mother, my ma
She hold me, she hold me
When I was out there
My father, my father
He liked me, well he liked me,
Does anyone care?  Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?  Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?  Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?  Does anyone care?

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly
Taken
And the violence causes silence
Who are we mistaking ?
Mmm, 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 he^ad
Zombie
Zombie
Zomb^^^ie

What's in your head
In your he^ad
Zombie
Zombie
Zomb^^^^ie ^oh

Another mother's breaking
Heart is taken-over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken

It's the same old teen
Since 1916
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 he^ad
Zombie
Zombie
Zomb^^^ie

What's in your head
In your he^ad
Zombie
Zombie
Zomb^^^^ie ^^^^^^^oh eh-eh-ah-ya-ya

I still do

I'm not ready for this
though I thought I would be
I can't see the future
though I thought I could see
I don't want to leave you
even though I have to
I don't want to love you
I still do

Need some time to find myself
you wouldn't live with it
can I go my own way
can I pray my own way
I don't want to leave you
oh I need you
am I ready for this
did I think I would be
can I see the future
no, I can't see

I don't want to leave you
even though I have to
I don't want to love you
I still do
I still do
I still do


Dreams

Oh my life is changing everyday
every possible way
though my dreams, it's never quite as it seems
never quite as it seems

I know I felt like this before
but now I'm feeling it even more
because it came from you

Then I open up and see
the person fumbling here is me
a different way to be

I want more, impossible to ignore
impossible to ignore
they'll come true, impossible not to do
impossible not to do

Now I tell you openly
you have my heart so don't hurt me
for what I couldn't find

Talk to me amazing mind
so understanding and so kind
you're everything to me

Oh my life is changing everyday
every possible way
though my dreams, it's never quite as it seems
'cause you're a dream to me
dream to me


Sunday

Oh do you know
where to go
where to go

Something on your mind
wanna leave me behind
wanna leave me behind

You're spinning me around
my feet are off the ground
I don't know where I stand
do you have to hold my hand
you mystify me
you mystify me
you mystify me

Oh when you walk into the room
it happened oh so soon
I didn't want to know
'cause you really have to go
you mystify me
you mystify me
you mystify me

And I didn't find the words to say I love you
and I couldn't find the time to say I need you
it wouldn't come out right
it wouldn't come out right
it just came out all wrong

Oh you're spinning me around
my feet are off the ground
I don't know where I stand
do you have to hold my hand
you mystify me
you mystify me
you mystify me

Oh do you know
where to go
where to go

Something on your mind
wanna leave me behind
wanna leave me behind


Pretty

You're so pretty the way you are
you're so pretty the way you are
and you have no reason to be so slick to me

Love, love
you say you want it
but you won't change me

Love, love
you say you want it
but you won't change me

You're so pretty the way you are
you're so pretty the way you are
and you have no reason to be so slick to me

Love, love
you say you want it
but you won't change me

Love, love
you say you want it
but you won't change me


Waltzing back

Who gave them the right
waltzing back into your life
ignored their fear
wished that they never come here

What they gonna do
what they gonna say
taking you away

from my life, my life, my life

Say, what they gonna do
what they gonna say
taking you away

from my life, my life, my life

Who gave them the right
turning you back into denial
denied their fear
wished that they never come here

What they gonna do
what they gonna say
taking you away

from my life, my life, my life

Who gave them the right
the right
the right

repeat 3x


Not sorry

Keep on looking through the window again
but I'm not sorry if I hate you in solitude
said I'm not sorry 'bout the way that things went
and you'll be happy and I'll even forsaken me

I swore I'd never feel like this again
but you're so selfish
you don't see you're rude to me

I keep on looking through the window agian
no, I'm not sorry if I hate you in solitude
I'm not sorry if I hate you in solitude

You told me lies
and I sighed, and I sighed, and I sighed
cause you lied, lied
and I cried,
yes I cried, yes I cry, I cry, I try again

I realize
when you say, you say, you say
cause you lied, lied
and I cried,
yes I cried, yes I cry, I cry, I try again

Keep on looking through the window again
but I'm not sorry if I hate you in solitude
said I'm not sorry 'bout the way that things went
and you'll be happy and I'll even forsaken me

I swore I'd never feel like this again
but you're so selfish
you don't see you're rude to me

I keep on looking through the window again
and I'm not sorry if I hate you, detest you
no, I'm not sorry if I hate you, detest you

You told me lies
and I sighed, and I sighed, and I sighed
cause you lied, lied
and I cried,
yes I cried, yes I cry, I cry, I try again

I realize
when you say, you say, you say
cause you lied, lied
and I cried,
yes I cried, yes I cry, I cry, I try again

I keep on looking through the window again
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 happier
but it's just your attitude
it's tearing me apart
it's ruining everyday

I swore, I swore I would be true
but 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 miss you
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 I loved you
I thought that 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 ruin you
I just wanna be with you

and I miss you
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 miss you
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

Sitting in an armchair
with my head between my hands
wouldn't have to be like this
if only you'd understand
to many misunderstandings
causing such delay
if it doesn't work like this
well, I'll try another way

Oh, this is the way you wanted
oh, I didn't understand
oh, this is the way you wanted
oh, I didn't understand

You know that all wanted
was to be there by your side
if you didn't want it
well, you should have denied
you knew that you were someone special
right form the start
but if you treat me badly
we'd be better off apart

Oh, this is the way you wanted
oh, I didn't understand
oh, this is the way you wanted
oh, I didn't understand
understand


Still can't...

Still can't recognize the way I feel
I feel
I feel

Have to know if what you said to me was real
and you still can't find the strength to apologize
lies
you just go on laughin' and tellin' everyone lies

Cause you wanted it all
you wanted it all
you wanted it all

No, and there's nothin' at all
there's nothin' at all
there's nothin' at all

Maybe if you could see beyond your nose
your nose
your nose

Who knows
let you know what had happened surely showed
but you ___________ that your attitude
I do
I do
and you go on laughin' and shoutin' it all too soon

Cause you wanted it all
you wanted it all
you wanted it all

No, and there's nothin' at all
there's nothin' at all
there's nothin' at all

Still can't recognize the way I feel
I feel
I feel

Have to know if what you said to me was real
and you still can't find the strength to apologize
lies
you just go on laughin' and tellin' everyone lies

Cause you wanted it all
you wanted it all
you wanted it all

No, and there's nothin' at all
there's nothin' at all
there's nothin' at all

Wanted it all
wanted it all
you wanted it all

repeat


I will always

And now it's all the same to me
be whatever you want to be
go wherever you need to go

And how it all seems like a mistake
take whatever you need to take
leave the rest for my own self

I have lies
though beside you
you will always
understand you

Now, it's all the same to me
so be whatever you want to be
go wherever you need to go

And how there's nothing left behind
takin' whatever you needed to
and leave it all into my mind

I have lies
though beside you
you will always
understand me


How

Look, you're standing alone
standing alone
however I should have known
I should have known

Never before
never again
you will ignore
I will pretend

Never before
never again
you will ignore
I will pretend

Your world, you're alone in your place
your alone in your world
your alone in your place

Oh you said you never would leave me alone
oh you said you never would leave me alone

Now you're just walking away
when you said you always would stay
always would stay

Never before
never again
you will ignore
I will pretend

Never before
never again
you will ignore
I will pretend

In your world, you're alone in your place
your alone in your world
your alone in your place

Oh you said you never would leave me alone
oh you said you never would leave me alone

Never before
never again
you will ignore
I will pretend

In your world, you're alone in your place
your alone in your world
your alone in your place

Oh you said you never would leave me alone
oh you said you never would leave me alone
oh you said you never would leave me alone
oh you said you never would leave me alone
alone


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 learn to forget
and you always prove me wrong
cause you're always putting me down

I can't take this anymore
I decided to leave
walked throught the door
oh, why do you think I go
because you know it can never be so
and you always prove me wrong
cause you're always putting me down

So let me take you by the hand
away from here
to another land
oh this land in which we live
where people love and learn to forget
and you always prove me wrong
cause you're always putting me down
