The Cranberries Stars - The Best Of 1992-2002 Lyrics
1.DREAMS

Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way

And oh my dreams
Never quiet as it seems

I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it come from you

And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be

Laa....

I want more (impossible to ignore *2)
And they'll come true (impossible not to do *2)

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


2.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
And
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 *2)
Let it linger

Oh! I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
(But I was wrong *2)
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't feel so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with 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 *2)
Let it linger


3.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 (x2)
Zombie (x3)
What's in your head,
In your head?
Zombie (x3)
Another mother's breaking
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 (x2)
Zombie (x3)
What's in you head,
In your head?
Zombie (x3)


4.Ode To My Family



Understand the things I say.
Don't turn away from me.
'Cause I spent half my life out there.
You wouldn't disagree.
D'you see me, d'you see?
Do you like me?
Do you like me standing there?
D'you notice, d'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, '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, 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.
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?


5.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 you 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 (x6)
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 you 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 (x6)
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.


6.Ridiculous Thoughts

7.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...
Is free...
To all the parents with sleepless nights
Sleepless nights
Tie your kids home to their beds
Clean their heads
To all the kids with heroin eyes
Don't do it, don't do it
Cos it's not, not what it seems
No no it's not, not what it seems
Salvation...
Is free...


8.Free To Decide



It's not worth anything more
Than it is at all
I live as I choose
Or I will not live at all
So return to where to where you came from
Return to where you dwell
Because harassment's not my forte
But you do it bloody well
And I'm free to decide
I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidial after all
You must have nothing more
With your time to do
There's a war in Russia and Sarajevo too
So to hell with all your thinking
And to hell with your narrow mind
You're so distracted from the real thing
You should leave your life behind
Cos I'm free to decide
Free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
I'm free to decide....


9.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
They're not around you
And in the night
I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without
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
It's hard to carry on
That is what I knew
Hey baby...
Hold on to my hands
I feel I'm stinking
Stinking 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
I miss you when you're gone
That is what I do
Hey baby
It's hard to carry on
That is what I do
Hey baby...


10.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 called
When I called
You've always been there most of all, all, all, all
This is not Hollywood
Like I understood
Is not Hollywood
Like, like, like
Run away, run away,
Is there anybody there?
Run away, run away,
Is there anybody there?
get away, get away, get away, away....
I've got a picture in my room
In my room
I will return there I presume
It will be soon
The greatest irony of all
Shoot the wall
It's not so glamourous at all, all, all
This is not Hollywood...


11.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


12.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 into me
It's the animal, the animal, the animal instinct into me
It's the animal, it's the animal, it's the animal instinct into
me


13.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


14.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, Eternally
It will always be You and me
Forever be, Eternally

Taylor, Taylor


15.Analyse

Close your eyes, close your eyes
Breath the air, out there
We are free, we can be
Wide open
For you opened my eyes
To the beauty I see
We will pray,
We will stay
Wide Open
Don't analyse
Don't analyse
Don't go that way
Do live that way
That would paralyse your evolution
Don't analyse
Don't analyse
Don't go that way
Do live that way
That would paralyse your evolution
Lalala this greatest moment
Lalala the strangest day
Lalala the greatest love of them all
Lalala this greatest moment
Lalala the strangest day
Lalala the greatest love of them all
Close your eye

Breath the air, out there
Fantazise, fantazise
We are open

Lalala this greatest moment
Lalala the strangest day
Lalala the greatest love of them all
Lalala this greatest moment
Lalala the strangest day

16.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
I guess that 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
La la la la the oxygen, la 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


17.This is The Day

I never had a friend like you
This is the day
Your skin is white, your eyes are blue
This is the day
But don't wind my change
I will still remain
I will always be there for you
A-ha
These thoughts, they circle in my mind
This is the day
The demons I can't leave behind
This is the day
Don't be insecure
I'll be at your door
I will always be there for you
They will save you
They will save you
They will save you
Stay! Stay!
They will save you
They will save you
They will save you
Stay! Stay!
Stay!
I have Provoked thy grace into my mind
This is the day
I have Provoked thy grace that are divine
This is the day
Don't be insecure
I'll be at your door
I will always be there for you
They will save you
They will save you
They will save you
Stay! Stay!
They will save you
They will save you
They will save you
Stay! Stay!
Stay!
But don't wind my change
I will still remain
I will still be here
But don't wind my change
I will still remain
I will always be there for you
They will save you
They will save you
They will save you
Stay! Stay!
They will save you
They will save you
They will save you
Stay! Stay!
Stay!


18.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...
All night long
I laid on my pillow.
These things are wrong.
I can't sleep here.
So lovely (x3)
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.
Oh, in your eyes and can see the disguise.
Oh, in your eyes and can see the dismay.
Has anyone seen lightning.
Has anyone looked lovely.
And the daffodils look lovely today...

20.Stars

The stars are bright tonight.
I ain't walking nowhere.
I guess I would be alright.
Desire gets you nowhere.
And you are always right.
My you are so perfect.
Take you as you are.
Have you as you are.
Take you as you were.
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 would be okay.
The worst I've ever seen us.
But I still have my weakness.
But I still have my stresses.
But I still have my ugliness.
But I. 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.
Doe anyone love the way they are.
Ahh ah. 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.
Ahh ah. Star Star.

Understand the things I say.
Don't turn away from me.
'Cause I spent half my life out there.
You wouldn't disagree.
D'you see me, d'you see?
Do you like me?
Do you like me standing there?
D'you notice, d'you know?
Do you see me, do you see me?

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.

23.Animal Instinct(Live)

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
