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

Twenty One was written on the September 6th 1992

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

Zombie was written on the Cranberries English Tour 1993.

Man 's inhumanity to man and worse still, to child

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

Written on making a clear decision, no more struggle inside...

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
