The Cranberries Uncertain Page

And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
La
I want more (impossible to ignore)
I want more (impossible to ignore)

And they'll come true (impossible not to do)
And they'll come true (impossible not to do)

And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find

A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything 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 dunno know where I stand
Do you have to hold my hand
(You mystify me, you mystify me, you mystify me)

When you walked into the room
It happened oh so soon
I didn't want to know
Does he really have to go
(You mystify me, you mystify me, you mystify me)

And he didn't find the words
To say I love you
And he couldn't find the time
To say I need you
(It wouldn't come out right, it wouldn't come out right)
Just came out all wrong

You're spinning me around
My feet are off the ground
I dunno 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 insolent to me

You're so pretty

The way you are

La, you got to say it if you want to
But you won't change me
La, you got to say it if you want to
But you won't change me

(repeat)

Waltzing Back

Who gave them the right

Waltzing back into

(Your life, Your life)

Now I feel fear

I wish that they'd never come (Here, here, here)

What they gonna do,what they gonna do
What they gonna say,what they gonna say
Taking you away from
(My life, my life)
Taking you away
(My life, my life)

La (chorus)
Who gave them the right
Turning it back into
(Light, light, light)
Then i felt fear
I wish that they'd never come (Here, here, here)

What they gonna do
What they gonna say
Taking you away from
(My life, my life, my life)
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna say
I don't wanna say
'Cos it's
(Your life, your life, your life)

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 forsaken thee

I swore I'd never feel like this again

But you're so selfish,you don't see what you're doing to me

I keep on looking through the window again

No, I'm not sorry if I insult you

(chorus)
You told me lies
(And I cried, and i cried, and i cried)
'Cos you lied, lied and
(I cried, yes i cried, yes i cried)
(I cry, I cry, I cry) again
I realize as
(he sighed and, he sighed and)
'Cos you lied, lied and
(I cried, yes I cried, yes )
(I try, I try, I try ) again

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 forsaken thee
I swore I'd never feel like this again
But you're so selfish, you don't see you're doing to me
I keep on looking through the window again
No I'm not sorry if do detest you
No I'm not sorry if do detest you

(chorus)
keep on looking through the window again
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

(chorus)
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 let it linger
Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, but 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

Wanted

Sitting 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, if this is the way you wanted it
Oh, I didn't understand
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 form the start
But if you treat me badly
We'd be better off apart

Still Can't...

Still can't recognize the way I feel

Nothing of what you said to me was real

And you still can't find the strength to apologize

You just go on laughing and telling everyone lies

(chorus) 'Cos
( You wanted it all, 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
Nothing of what had happened surely shows
but your ego excelled and then your attitude
And you went on laughing and shoutin
It's all too shrewd

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

How

Look, you're standing alone

(Standing alone)

However I should have known

(I should have known)

(chorus 1)
Never before, never before
never again, never again
you will ignore, you will ignore
I will pretend, I will pretend

(chorus 2)
In your world,
You're alone in your face
Your alone in your world
Your alone in your face

How you said you never would leave me alone
How you said you never would leave me alone

Now you're just walking away
(Walking away)
When you said you always would stay
Always would stay

(chorus1 and chorus2 repeat)

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 prove me wrong

'Cos you're always putting me down

I can't take this anymore
I decided to leave
Walked throught the door
Oh, and why do you think I go
Because you know it can never be so
And you always prove me wrong
'Cos you're always putting me down

La, la, la...

"No Need To Argue"

Ode To My Family

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 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
Did 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 think
Something better than I am
But I miss you, I miss
'Cause I liked it. I liked it
When I was out there
Do you know this ? D'you know
You did not find me, you did not find
Does anyone care?

Unhappiness was 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
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me ,when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
Oh he liked me,does anyone care?

does anyone care?

I Can't Be With You

Lying in my bed again

And i cry cos' 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's 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

Baby I Can't Be With You

Thinking back on how things were
And 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

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
And baby I'm still in love with you

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 dont think it s happening
This is what I say

Leave me alone
Cause i found it all
Twenty one

So I don't think it's going
To happen anymore
I don't think it's going
To happen anymore

Twenty One

Today

Twenty One

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 cryin'
In your head
Zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie

Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head,
In your head they're still fightin'
With their tanks
In your head they are dying

In your head, in your head
Zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie

Empty

Something has left my life

And I don't know where it went to

Somebody caused me stripe

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

Why did you turn out the lights
Did you know that I was sleeping

Say a prayer for me
Help to feel the strength I did
My identity has it been taken
Is my heart breaking on me

All my plans fell through my hands
They fell
Through my hands on me
All my dreams it suddenly seems
Empty

Everything I Said

It makes me lonely

It makes me very lonely

When I see you there, waitin'on

It makes me tired, It makes me very tired

And inside of me, lingers on

But you have your heart
Don t believe it, and you will find it
Waitin'on
Everything I said, oh, well I meant it
And inside my head, holdin'on

'Cos if I died tonight
Would you hold my hand, no
Would you understand
And if I lived in spite
Would you still be there, no
Would you disappear

Surely must be you
But I don t make you lonely
I'll get over you
But I don 't make you lonely

The Icicle Melts

When

When will the icicle melt,

And when

When will the picture show end

I should not have read the papers today

'Cause a child,child he was taken away

There's a place for the baby that died
And there's a time for the mother who cried
And she will hold him in her arms sometimes
'Cause nine months is too long

How could you hurt a child
Now does this make you satisfied
I don't know what's
happening to people today
When a child, he was taken away

There's a place for the baby that died
There's a time for the mother that cried
And she will hold him in
her arms sometimes
'Cause nine months is too long

There's a place for the baby that died
And there's a time for the mother that cried
And you will hold him in
your arms sometimes
'Cause nine months is too long

Disappointment

Disappointment you shouldn't have done

You couldn't have done

You wouldn't have done

the things you did there

And we could 've been happy

What a piteous thing, a hideous thing

was tainted by the rest

But it won't get any harder
And I hope you'll find your way again
But it won't get any higher
But it all boils down to what you did there

In the night we fight, I feel you're right
It was exactly there
I decided
and drew you out
In the night we fight, I feel you're right
It was exactly there
I decided

But it won't get any harder
And I hope you'll find your way again
But it won't get any higher
But it all boils down to what you did there

Dissapointment

Ridiculous Thoughts

Twister does anyone see through you

You re a twister an animal

But you're happy now

I didn't go along with you

So happy now

But you re going to have to hold on
Hold on
Or we're going to have to move on
Move on

I feel alright
And I cried so hard
The ridiculous thoughts
I feel alright

Twister. I shouldn't have trusted you
Twister
It's not going to happen no
You re not going to make fun of me
Happen no

But you re going to have to hold on
You re going to have to hold on
Hold on
Or we're going to have to move on
Move on

I feel alright
And I cried so hard
The ridiculous thoughts
I feel alright

I should have lied
And I cried so hard
The ridiculous thoughts
I should ha' lied

But you re gonna have to hold on
Hold on
but you're gonna have to hold on to me

Dreaming My Dreams

All the things you said to me today

Changed my perspective in every way

These things count to mean

so much to me

Into my faith you
And your baby
It s out there
If you want me
I'll be there
It's out there

I'll be dreaming my dreams
With you
And there's no other places
That I'd lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you

It's out there
If you want me,I'll be here
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other places that I'd
lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you

Yeat's Grave

Silenced by death in the grave

W B Yeats couldn't save

Why did you stand there

'Where you sickened in time

But I know by now

Why did you sit here?

In the GRAVE

W.B. Yeats "Second"

Why should I blame her
That she filled my days
With misery or that she would of late
Have taught to ignorant men violent ways
Or hurled the little street upon the great
Had they but courage
Equals to desire

Sad that Maud Gonne Couldn't stay
But she had Mac Bride anyway
And you sit here with me
On the isle Inisfree

And you writing down everything
But i know by now
Why did you sit here
In the grave...

Why should I blame her
Had they but courage equals to desire

This song has been written with inspiration from theses
William Butler Yeats poems:

------------------------

William Butler Yeats

(1865 - 1939)

------------------------

THE LAKE ISLE OF INNISFREE

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.

NO SECOND TROY

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?
What could have made her peaceful with a mind
That nobleness made simple as a fire,
With beauty like a tightened bow, a kind
That is not natural in an age like this.
Being high and solitary and most stern?
Why, what could she have done being what she is?
Was there another Troy for her to burn?

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 he one,

All night long, I laid on my pillow
Theses things are wrong
I can't sleep here
So lonely, so lonely

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

Oh in your eyes I can see the disguise
Oh in your eyes I can see the dismay
Has anyone seen lightning
Has anyone looked lovely

And the daffodils looked lovely today

Looked lovely

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 loose you
You 'll always be special to me

And I remember all the
Things we once shared
Watching TV 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 loose you

You 'll always be special to me

Will I forget in time
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
Special

"To The Faithfull Departed"

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'll always be there when I call (when I call)

You'll always be there most of all. (all, all, all)

This is not Hollywood,
Like I understood.
This is not Hollywood,
Like, Like, Like.

Away, Runaway, is there anybody there?
Away, Runaway, is there anybody there?
Get away, Get away, Get away!
Get away, Get away, Get away!

I've got a picture in my room, (in my room)
I will return there I presume. (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.
This is not Hollywood,
Like, Like, Like.

Away, Runaway, is there anybody there?
Away, Runaway, is there anybody there?
Get away, Get away, Get away!
Get away, Get away, Get away!

This is not Hollywood
(Runaway)
This is not Hollywood

Salvation

To all those people doing 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.

To all those parents with sleepless nights, (sleepless nights)
Tie your kids on to their beds, clear their heads.

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.

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
(* could be "To all the kids who'll hear our lies" instead.)

When You're Gone

Hold on to love. That is what I do,

Now that I've found you.

And from above, everything's stinking,

Their 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 miss you when you're gone.
That is what I do, Bay, Bay, Bay
And it's going to carry on,
That is what I knew, Bay, Bay, Bay

Hold on to my hand,
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.

And I miss you when you're gone.
That is what I do, Bay, Bay, Bay
And it's going to carry on,
That is what I do, Bay, Bay, Bay

Free To Decide

It's not worth anything more than this at all

I live as I choose or I will not live at all.

So return to where you've come from.
Return to where you dwell.
Because harassments 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 Sarejevo, too.

So to hell with want your thinking.
And to hell with your narrow of mind.
You're so distracted from the real thing.
You should leave your life behind. (behind)

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)

At all, At all, At all!

War Child

Who will save the War Child baby?

Who controls the keys?

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'll 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 of 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.

Whose the loser now, eh?
Whose the loser now, eh?
We're all the losers now!
We're all the losers now!

War Child, War Child

Forever Yellow Skies

Yellow Skies, I can see the Yellow Skies.

See you again, I see you again

In my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams.

Morning light, I remember morning light.
Outside my doors, I 'll see you no more.
In my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams

Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you.
Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you.
Responsible, Responsible, Responsible, Responsible.

So black and white,
It's become so black and white.
So insecure, You're so insecure,
That's what you are, That's what you are,
That's what you are, That's what you are.

Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you.
Forever, Forever I'll be forever holding you.
Responsible, Responsible, Responsible, Responsible.

The Rebels

Seems like yesterday we were sixteen,

We were The Rebels of the Rebel Scene.

We wore Doc Martens in the sun,

Drinking vintage cider having fun.

We were, drinking vintage cider having fun.

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

We wore Doc Martens in the snow,
Paint our toenails black and let our hair grow.
What I am now is what I was then,
I am not more acceptable then them.

I am not more acceptable then them.

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

It wasn't often, It wasn't often,
It wasn't often, It wasn't often,
It wasn't often, It wasn't often,
It wasn't often, It wasn't often.

Seems like yesterday we were sixteen,
We were The Rebels of the Rebel Scene.

I Just Shot John Lennon

It was the fearful night of December 8th,

He was returning home from the studio, late.

He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice.

Because in 1980, he paid the price.

John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died!
John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died!

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!

"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!

Electric Blue

Electric blue eyes, where did you come from?

Electric blue eyes, who sent you?

Electric blue eyes, always be near me.

Electric blue eyes, I need you.

Domine, Domine, Deus,
Domine, Adiuva Me,
Domine, Domine, Deus,
Domine, Adiuva Me,
Hey, eh, hey, eh

You should know, You should know I love you
You should know, You should know I'm here.
Always be near me, guardian angel,
Always be near me, there's no fear.

Domine, Domine, Deus,
Domine, Adiuva Me,
Domine, Domine, Deus,
Domine, Adiuva Me,
Hey, eh, hey, eh

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 way.
The world is changing and has changed away (way).
I try to remain.
I'm trying not to go insane.
I need your affection all the way.

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 way.
The world is changing and has changed away (way).
I try to remain.
I'm trying not to go insane.
I need your affection all the way.

They say the cream'll 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 J. F. K.,
Ever saintly in a way.

Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I say, where are you now?

I need your affection all the way.
I need your affection all the way.
I need your affection all the way.
I need your affection all the way.

Will You Remember

Will you remember the dress I wore?

Will you remember my face?

Will you remember the lipstick I wore?

This world is a wonderful place.

Will you remember the black limousine?
Will you remember champagne?
Will you remember the things that we see?
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 remember?
Will you recall?
Will you remember?

Joe

There was a time, I was so lonely. (away)

Remember the time, It was a Friday. (away)

You made me feel fine, We did it my way. (away)

I sat on your knees, every Friday. (away)

(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. (away)
Transfixed in a stare taking me higher. (away)
Precious years to remember. (away)
Childhood fears I surrender. (away)

(We walked in fields of golden hay)
I still recall you.
(We walked in fields of golden hay)
I see you in the summer.

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 plans 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)

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...Cordell....Cordell...Cordell
Cordell...Cordell....Cordell

Your lover and baby will cry
But you presence will always remain
Is this how it was meant to be?
You meant something more to me
Than what many people will see
And to hell with the industry.

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...Cordell.....Cordell....Cordell
Cordell....Cordell....Cordell

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,
Sarejevo, change my mind.
And we all call out in despair.
All the love we need isn't there.
And we all sing songs in our rooms,
Sarejevo erects another tomb.

Sarejevo! Sarejevo! Sarejevo! Sarejevo!
Bosnia, was so unkind.
Sarejevo! Sarejevo! Sarejevo!
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?
When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?

"Bury The Hatchet"

Animal Instinct

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 Ra la la la la la la la - Ra la la la la la la la x4

Promises

Uh... You better belive I'm coming
You better believe what I say
You better hold on to your promises
Because you bet, you'll get what you deserve

She's going to leave him over
She's gonna take her love away
So much for your eternal vows, well
It does not matter anyway

Why can't you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile Stay with me (Estribillo)

Oh, all the promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words I prayed, prayed, prayed
Oh, all the promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words I spoke, spoke, spoke
Do-do-do, Do-do-do, Do-do-do, Do-do-do

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
'Cos tearing them out is just not right

Why can't you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile Stay with me, oh oh Estribillo Oh eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh, Oh Eh x3
Do-do-do, Do-do-do, Do-do-do, Do-do-do

You And Me

I'm not going out tonight 'cos I don't want to go
I am staying at home tonight 'cos I don't want to know
You revealed a world to me and I would never be
Dwelling in such happiness, your gift of purity

Eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh x2

Aahh, you and me it will always be
You and me Forever be,
Eternally it will always be you and me

Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor

I don't pay attention to the ones who never cared
Find your own direction 'cos there's sweetness in the air
You will be the world to me and I will always be
Dwelling in this happiness, your gift of purity
Eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh x2

Aahh, you and me will always be
You and me Forever be,
Eternally will always be
You and me Always be
You and me Forever be,

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
Living not for reality
It's not my imagination x3 Not my x18

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 (Estribillo)

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 Estribillo
Please don't stand in my way

They had an accident and they never noticed anyway
A lack of originality couldn't focus on the day
So much for the radio everybody sounds the same
Everybody wears the same clothes now and everybody plays the game (Estribillo)

Fee Fi Fo

Fee fi fo she smells his body
She smells his body
And it makes her sick to her mind
He has got so much to answer for
To answer for, To ruin a child's mind

How could you touch something
So innocent and pure
Obscure
How could you get satisfaction
From the body of a child You're vile, sick (Estribillo)

It's true what people say
God protect the ones who help themselves
In their own way
It's true what people say
God protect the ones who help themselves
In their own way

He was sitting in her bedroom In her bedroom
And now what should she do
She's got so much insecurity
And his impurity
It was a gathering gloom
How could you touch something
So innocent and pure
Obscure
How could you get satisfaction
From the body of a child
You're a vile, sick Estribillo x2
Fee fi fo x4

Dying In The Sun

Do you remember
The things we used to say?
I feel so nervous
When I think of yesterday

How could I let things
Get to me so bad?
How did I let things get to me? (Estribillo)

Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying x2

Will you hold on to me
I am feeling frail
Will you hold on to me
We will never fail

I wanted to be so perfect you see

Sorry Son

Sorry son, this is what I've done
This is what I've done
It was a long sad supper without you
I had to be cruel to be kind
We have to leave the past behind
La la la

And isn't it strange how people can change
And isn't it weird how people I feared
They all seem worthless now
I will ride on my bicycle,
I ride thinking of you
As I'm riding on my tricycle,

I ride I see the sun in the trees, and I feel the psychedelic breeze
And I see the sun in the trees, and I feel the psychedelic breeze

Sorry son, this is what I've done
This is what I've done It was a long sad supper without you
Please don't hold me responsible
I tried and tried It wasn't the same without my brain
It wasn't a game, it wasn't a game

Oh not now I will ride on my bicycle, I ride thinking of you
As I'm riding on my tricycle,
I ride I see the sun in the trees, and I feel the psychedelic breeze
I see the sun in the trees, and I feel the psychedelic breeze
La la la Sorry son Oh I am so sorry son

"Uncertain EP"

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.

[I'm uncertain about this line]
You had nothing to send, oh why,
Why did you bring me here.

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.

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...[Drum crash]

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,

Take my soul away ? (early stuff)

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,
Away now. Away, away now.

Nothing ever happens to me,
Oh I still can't see the things that you see,
Was anybody there,
Does anybody care.

I've nobody to show me the way,
I've 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.

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,

Away now. Away, away now.
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,
Away now. Away, away now.

Like You Used To (early stuff)

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?

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

Reason (can be found on EP Linger US )

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 weren't 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 weren't someone 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 should do?
Cos if you in someone else's bed
If you were in someone else's head
If you were...

Liar

Say it if you want to

and say it if you will

And all you do is lie to me

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

What you Were (Dreams UK part 1 EP)

Now it's easy for me too see

?????????

Life was 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

In a stupid state of mind

And I'm lonely

Yeah, you left me here behind

In a stupid state of mind and you're gone

'Cause you left me here behind

In 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

So Cold In Ireland (Ode to my family part 1 EP)

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.

I Don't Need (From Zombie part 1)

The world is consuming me and I don't feel so happy here today

I'm numb 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 (From 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 down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

That is why all the girls (boys) in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

The Sun Does Rise (From Jah Wobble EP & LP)

Nightime has gone when all was still

Moon shone the way as we climbed the hill

When we arrived we raised our hands

Now the dawn 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
Through 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"

This journey's been an epic
Sometimes I've been so down
Stranded in a lonely bar the other side of town
Yes we've travelled day and night for many a pour mile
Now it all makes sense as we see the morning smile

written by Wobble/Adams/Reynolds
Official Lyrics taken from the CD

God Be With You (From Devil's Own soundtrack )

The truth will never 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

(God be with you now)
(God be with you now)
(God be with you now)
(God be with you now)

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.

I bleive that a woman can be,
A slave to the man.
I believe that love we can make,
And I try if I can

Will you return, to 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 Gone, there's no return,
And she cries all night.
