Dolores O'Riordan

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

'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

'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)

Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way

And Oh my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite 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

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'll 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

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 is 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...

Do-be-da, do-be-da
Do-be-da, do-be-da
Do-be-da, do-be-da
Do-be-da, do-be-da

Do-be-da, do-be-da
Do-be-da, do-be-da
Do-be-da, do-be-da
Do-be-da, do-be-da

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

Do-be-da, do-be-da
Do-be-da, do-be-da

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

Do-be-da, do-be-da
Do-be-da, do-be-da

Hey, baby

Do-be-da, do-be-da
Do-be-da, do-be-da

Hey, baby

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 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 Sarejevo, 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)

At all, At all, At all

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

At all, At all, At all

Though 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 passed away
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Time will tell, time will tell
They say that you passed away
And I know that you've gone to a better place

Cordell, Cordell
Cordell, Cordell

Your lover and baby will cry
But your 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 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

Nana, nana, nana, nana
Nana, nana, nana, nana

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 taken 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 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,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...

Looking out the corner of my eye
I can see that the sunshine will explode
Far across the desert in the sky

Beautiful girl
Won't you be my inspiration?

Could ever come between us?
Beautiful girl, beautiful girl

Life is more intricate than it seems
Always be yourself along the way
Living through the spirit of your dreams

Funny how things just tasted better
When we were young
When we were young

Funny how things just seemed so easy
When we were young

It's been a long day
It's been a long day
It's been a long day
It's been a long day

I wanna get out
I wanna go home
Is anything better
Than you on the phone?

I wanna get out
I wanna go home
Is anything better
Than you on the phone?

I think that we weren't always grateful
For what you've done
When we were young

I think that we weren't always grateful
For what you've done

We've come a long way
We've come a long way
We've come a long way
We've come a long way

I wanna get out
I wanna go home
Is anything better
Than you on the phone?

I wanna get out
I wanna go home
Is anything better
Than you on the phone?

You on the phone
You on the phone
You on the phone

I wanna get out
I wanna go home
Is anything better
Than you on the phone?

I wanna get out
I wanna go home
I want to feel better
Can't make it alone

I wanna get out
I wanna go home
Is anything better
Than you on the phone?

I see you playing
In the garden
Outside my window

Oh

You're like your father
I see right through you
Just like your father
I thought I knew you

Oh

It's a panic
In paradise
It's a panic
It's in paradise

You can't come here
You can't cry
You can't come here
You can't cry

I see her playing
In the garden
I was once like her
You did this to me

I don't remember
When this offense began
I don't remember
I can't undo what's done

You can't come here
You can't cry
You can't come here
You can't cry
You can't come here
You know why
You can't come here
You know why

I'll keep my secret
With me until I die
I'll keep my secret
And I don't know why

You can't come here
You can't cry
You can't come here
You know why
I can't go there
I won't cry
I can't go there
I won't cry

Don't let life consume you
It could eat you up inside
Can you see the human spirit?
Tell me why should I have to hide

And with my heart in my hand
And with my hand upon my heart
And with my heart in my hand
It's not like we planned

Don't betray your lover
You will just betray yourself
Can you see the human spirit?
Is there emptiness inside?

And with my heart in my hand
And with my hand upon my heart
And with my heart in my hand
It's not like we planned

Can you see the human spirit?
Is there emptiness inside?
Can you see the human spirit?
Is there loneliness inside?

And with my heart in my hand
And with my hand upon my heart
And with my heart in my hand
It's not like we planned

I'm sick and tired of people like you
You think you're clever but you haven't a clue
(what can you do?)

A two watt light bulb is brighter than you
I'm sick and tired of people like you

You want it, you got it
Come take it, it's over here
You want it, you got it
Come take it, is that not clear?
You want it, you got it
Come take it, I'll do it for you
You want it, you got it
Come take it, just cross the line

The moral of the adventure is this
Take me for granted you are taking the piss
(Who love is this?)

I'd rather wind up with nothing at all
Than take a loser like you through it all

You want it, you got it
Come take it, it's over here
You want it, you got it
Come take it, is that not clear?
You want it, you got it
Come take it, I'll do it for you
You want it, you got it
Come take it, just cross the line

Cross the line (x2)

You want it, you got it
Come take it, it's over here
You want it, you got it
Come take it, is that not clear?
You want it, you got it
Come take it, I'll do it for you
You want it, you got it
Come take it, just cross the line

Why loser, die
Why loser, why?
Why loser, die
Why loser?

I woke up this morning
And I walked down to the sea
I sat there on the long grass
Just staring at the sea

Counting all my blessings
And everything that you gave to me
Why is this complicated?
Why can't you stay with me?

Stay with me
Won't you stay?
Stay with me
Won't you stay with me?
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me

I just like to hold on
To all the magic memories
I dread this place without you
Don't leave, I'm begging please

Holding back the memories
Holding back the years
Holding back the memories
Holding back the tears

Stay with me
Won't you stay?
Stay with me
Won't you stay with me?
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me

As the days go by
The apple of my eye
I'll always wait for you

And as a new day dawns
The darkness moves away
And I will wait for you

Remember, remember
The face of you
Surrender, surrender
The touch of you

Well it's hard to hold
The room is turning cold
The candle flickers still

And what I would not do
For the love of you
Would you hold on to me?

Remember, remember
The face of you
Surrender, surrender
The touch of you

As the days the go by
The apple of my eye
I'll always wait for you

And as a new day dawns
The darkness moves away
And I will wait for you

Remember, remember
The face of you
Surrender, surrender
The touch of you

I will remember, I will remember the face of you
I will remember, I will remember the touch of you
I will remember, I will remember the face of you
I will remember, I will remember the touch of you

Finding solace
Finding solace somewhere
Seeking comfort
Seeking comfort somewhere

Over and over
Over she calls
Over and over
Over she falls

The black widow
Waiting for her lover
The black widow
Crying in her bedroom

Over and over
Over she calls
Over and over
Over she falls

(Pull me out)

Seeking comfort
Seeking comfort somewhere

And she cries, and she cries
Feeling lonely
She is lonely

And she dies, and she dies
Feeling lonely
She is lonely

Recognise recognise
The black widow
The black widow
Recognise, recognise
The black widow
The black widow
The black widow

October, October
the summer is over
I'm going through changes
I see you again

It's so thought provoking
emotion evoking
I can't turn around
I don't want to pretend

You stand in my way
with nothing to say
you think you're the world
I'm so lost without you
I'm sorry my friend
this is not the end
I'll do it without you
I'll do it again

You stand in my way
with nothing to say
you think you're the world
I'm so lost without you
I'm sorry my friend
this is not the end
I'll do it without you
I'll do it again
I'll do it again

October, October
the summer is over
I'm moving in circles
I'm trying to come in

It's my evolution
the only solution
the torment it's all that
I'm holding within

You stand in my way
you've nothing to say
you think you're the world
I'm so lost without you
I'm sorry my friend
this is not the end
I'll do it without you
I'll do it again

You stand in my way
you've nothing to say
you think you're the world
I'm so lost without you
I'm sorry my friend
this is not the end
I'll do it without you
I'll do it again
I'll do it again

Don't stand in my way
with nothing to say
and think you're the world
I'm so lost without you
I'm sorry my friend
this is not the end
I'll do it without you
I'll do it again

Don't stand in my way
with nothing to say
and think you're the world
I'm so lost without you
I'm sorry my friend
this is not the end
I'll do it without you
I'll do it again
I'll do it.

You seem to forget
The place that we met
Protected and warm
In the perfect storm

I think you pretend
That you are my friend
It's easy to see
That you're envious of me

Hold, hold, hold, hold
Hold, hold

You should open your eyes
Make it easy to accept things
You should open your eyes
Make it easy to accept things
Accept things

You should not forget
The people you met
On the way up
Or on the way down

Hold, hold, hold, hold
Hold, hold

You should open your eyes
Make it easy to accept things
You should open your eyes
Make it easy to accept things
Accept things

Hold, hold, hold, hold
Hold

You should open your eyes
Make it easy to accept things
You should open your eyes
Make it easy to accept things
You should open your eyes
Make it easy to accept things
You should open your eyes
Make it easy to accept things

Another lonely night in December
Jaweh, Jaweh, Jaweh
It is the time of year people remember
Jaweh, Jaweh
I can't find a word to say to you
I can't comprehend, I can't relate to you

Plain to see no flies on me
Take me higher angel fire
Take me where I want to go
Teach me things I need to know
Plain to see no flies on me
Take me higher angel fire
Take me where I want to go
Teach me things I need to know

I'm knowing this could be our last event
Jaweh, Jaweh, Jaweh
I'm knowing I am your youngest descent
I don't want to know your pain
I don't want to play the game

Plain to see no flies on me
Take me higher angel fire
Take me where I want to go
Teach me things I need to know
Plain to see no flies on me
Take me higher angel fire
Take me where I want to go
Teach me things I need to know

I can't find a word to say to you
I can't comprehend, I can't relate to you

Plain to see your faith in me
Take me higher angel fire
Take me where I want to go
Teach me things I need to know
Can't you see you're made for me
Take me higher angel fire
Take me where I want to go
Teach me things I need to know

I can feel a pleasure, that's the pain
When I die, I died in vain
I can hear sweet temptations come
Come with me and we will fall

Ecstasy, misunderstood
Will you dance with me
As if I should?
And in the morning
The sun will shine
Still I can't shake her
Get out of my mind

Mind, mind, mind, mind

I can feel it rushing through my veins
After they withdraw the pain
This must be the essence of it all
Stay with me and we will fall

Ecstasy misunderstood
Will you dance with me
As if I should?
And in the morning
The sun will shine
Still I can't shake her
Get out of my mind

Mind, mind, mind, mind

Look you made me do this to myself
Look you made me do this to myself
Look you made me do this to myself
Look you made me do this to myself

Ecstasy, misunderstood
Will you dance with me
As if I should?
And in the morning
The sun will shine
Still I can't shake her
Get out of my mind

Mind, mind, mind, mind

Oh my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems
