What You Were - The Cranberries

Now it's easy for to see,
Why peoples lives are 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,
A stupid state of mind,
And I'm lonely.

Yeah, you left me here behind,
A stupid state of mind,
And you're gone.

'Cause you left me here behind,
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 - The Cranberries

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 - The Cranberries

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

Away - The Cranberries

Turn Away, Turn Away
From Me, From Me
And I pray, yes I pray
For thee, for thee, for thee-ee-ee

Another World
Wrapped up inside another place
And I hope, and I pray
That the pain goes away,
Yes I pray, Yes I pray, for thee-ee-e> Turn Away, Turn Away
From Me, From Me
And I pray, yes I pray
For thee, for thee, for thee-ee-ee

Turn Away, Turn Away
From Me, From Me
And I pray, yes I pray
For thee, for thee, for thee

Reason - The Cranberries

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?

'Cause 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

'Cause if you weren't someone else insetad
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?

'Cause ifyou in someone else's bed
If you were in someone else's head
If you were...

Close To You - The Cranberries

Why do birds suddenly appear
Everytime you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you...

Why do stars fall off from the sky
Everytime you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be,
Close to you...

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
They decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
And put a starlight in your eyes so blue

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

Just like me, they long to be
Close to you....

Just like me, they long to be
Close to you....

Aah...
Close to you....

Uncertain - The Cranberries

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.

In The ghetto - The Cranberries

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way

Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
and he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto

As her young man dies,
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto

Them - The Cranberries

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,
