The cranberries

Everybody else is doin' it, so why can't we?

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
(chorus)
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
I wanna live within
Can I go my own way
Can I pray my own way
I don't want to leave you
I need you
Am I ready for this
Did I think I would be
Can I see the future
No, I can't see

Dreams

Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way
And Oh my dreams
It's never quiet as it seems
Never quiet as it seems
I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
La,la...
I want more (impossible to ignore)
impossible to ignore
And they'll come true (impossible not to do)
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
Oh my life
Is changing everyday
in every possible way
And oh my dreams
It's never quiet as it seems
'Cause you're a dream to me
Dream to me
La la...

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 la.., you got to say it if you want to
But you won't change me
La 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
Taking you away from my life, my life
What they gonna say,what they gonna say
Taking you away my life, my life
La...... la....
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
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 shrewed

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 again,
you will ignore, I will pretend,
(chorus 2)
In your world,
You're alone in your face
You're alone in your world
You're 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...

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 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 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 (2X)

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
Noyhing I could ever do
Never could impressed you
Even if I tried
Tell somebody wha cares
Fill the romm 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 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 yourself alive
Ra la la la la la la (X8)

Promises

You better believe 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 eteernal vows, well
It does not matter anyway
Why can't you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile, Stay with me..
(Chorus)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
Doo doo doo ...

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
(repeat chorus) Oh eh, oh eh oh eh oh eh Oh Eh (X3)
Do do do ...

You and me

I'm not going out tonight cause 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
Ehh-ee-oh ..
(chorus) Aaaah, you and me It will always be
You and me, forever be,
Eternally, it will always be, you and me
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...
(repeat chorus twice)

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)

That was the 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 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 ...

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 my way
Move over, move over
There's a climax coming in my way
(chorus) I don't like you, don't compromise
Shattered by your weakness, shattered by your smile
And I'm not very fond of you
Shattered by your weakness, shattered by your smile

All the kids are going back to school
The summer is 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)
(chorus)
Please don't stand in my way

Desperate Andy

He always holds on to his girlfriend
That's where he likes to be
He likes to wear the ball and the chain on his neck
A false sense of security
And when he goes he goes with a smile (X4)

So go out and get laid and get whatever you want to

It's yours, it's yours, it's yours, it's yours...(X2)
Gimme the chastity, gimme the sanctity, gimme the wit, o-oh (X5)

Saving grace

No I can't wait to see your face
Can you hold on while I take hold of myself (X2)
You're the little thing, my saving grace

It could hapen here today (X2)
You are my saving grace (X2)

Copycat

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
(chorus) Copycat, copycat, copycat
Copy copy copy copy yourself
Copycat, copycat, copycat
Copy copy copy everyone else (X2)

I've got a great idea, I will change things on my own
I see my vision very clear, wouldn't want to be another clone
So much for the radio, the radio is sad
It's sad, sad, sad...
chorus
Copy everyone else, copy everyone else

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
repeat chorus
Copy everyone else (X4)

What's on my mind

Baby, I would do anything for you, for you
Nobody's ever treated me quite like you do
I've wasted to much time, I've wasted to much time
And I'm gonna tell you what's on my mind yea, yea
(chorus) I was wrong all along
There could be somebody like thee
Here we are, finally
I've found my, I've found my

Maybe, it'll be quite sometime
I love you forever, and we will be waiting in time
I'm wasting no more time, I'm wasting no more time
I'm always gonna tell you what's on my mind, yea, yea
Repeat chorus...

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, you're
It's true what people say,
God protect the ones who help themselves in their own way, yeah hey hey hey hey hey,
It's true what people say,
God protect the ones who help themselves in their own way, yeah hey hey hey hey hey!

He was sittin 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 vile, sick
It's true what people say,
God protect the ones who help themselves in their own way, yeah hey hey hey hey hey,
And I wonder to myself,
Who protects the ones who can't protect them, yeah hey hey hey hey hey! (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
(Chorus)
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 felling frail
Will you hold on to me we will never fail
I wanted to be so perfect you see
I wanted to be so perfect
Repeat chorus

Sorry son

Sorry son, this is what I've done
This is what I have 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 have 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 (X2)
La la la
Sorry son
Oh, I am so sorry son
