NO NEED TO ARGUE
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 a 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
OL 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
d'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
My mother, my mother she hold me
did she hold me, when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
OL he liked me, does anyone care
does
anyone care
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 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 hand
We'll find another end
And come with me,
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
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
don't 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

'Twenty
One' was written
on September 6th 1992
(Dolores was 21 years old)
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 and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head they are dyin'
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.
Something
has left my life
And I don't know where it went to
Somebody caused me strife
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 strenght 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
It suddenly seems, it suddenly seems
Empty
It
makes me lonely
It makes me very lonely
When I see you here, waitin' on
He makes me tired, he 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, OL, 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
Lonely
must be you
But I don't make you lonely
I'll get over you
But I don't make you lonely
When
When will the icicle melt,
And when
When will the picture show end
I should not have read the paper today
Cause a child, child he was taken away
There's
a place for the baby that cried
And there's a time for the mother who cried
And she will hold him in her arms sometime
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 sometime
Cause nine months is too long
There's
a place for the baby that died
There's a time for the mother who cried
And you will hold him in
your arms sometime
Cause nine months is too long
Disappointment
you shouldn't have done
you couldn't have done
you wouldn't have done
he things you did then
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
And it won't get any higher
But it all boils down to what you did there
In
the night we fight, I fled you're right
It was exactly there
I decided
But
it won't be any harder
And I hope you'll find your way again
And it won't get any higher
But it all boils down to what you did there
Disappointment
Written
on making a clear devision, no more
struggle inside
Twister
does anyone see through you
You're a twister, an animal
But you're so 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 goin' 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 allright
And I cried so hard
The ridiculous thoughts
I should ha' lied
But
you're gonna have to hold on
Hold on
But you're gonna have to hold on to me
All
the things you said to me today
Changed my perspective in every way
These things count to mean so much to me
Into my faith you
and your baby
It's
out there
If you want me
I'll be here
It's out there
I'll
be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other place
that I'd lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
It's
out there
If you want me, I'll be here
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other place
that I'd lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
"Dreaming
My Dreams" was written on
December 25th 1993. New fevril happiness
dedicated to my husband, lover,
best friend, support.

11 YEAT'S GRAVE
Silenced
by death in the grave
W B Yeats couldn't save
Why did you stand here
Were you sickened in time
But I know by now
Why did you sit here?
In the GRAVE
W.B.
Yeats "Second"
Why
should I blame her,
that she filled my days
With misery or that she would of late
Have taught to ignorant men most violent ways
Or hurled the little streets upon the grave
Had they but courage
Equal to desire
Sad
that Maud Gonne couldn't stay
But she had Mac Bride anyway
And you sit here with me
on the isle Inistree
And
you are writing down everything
But I know by now
Why did you sit here
In the grave...
Why
should I blame her
Had they but courage equal to desire
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,
All
night long, I laid on my pillow
These things are wrong
I can't sleep here
So lonely, so lonely
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
OL
in your eyes I can see the disguise
OL in your eyes I can see the dismay
Has anyone seen lightning
Has anyone looked lovely
And
the daffodils looked lovely today
Looked lovely
There's
no need to argue anymore
I gave all I could
but it left me so sore
And the thing that makes me mad
Is the one thing that I had
I
knew, I knew, I'd lose you
You'll always be special to me
And
I remember all the
things we once shared
Watching movies on
the living room armchair
But
they say it will work out fine
Was it all a waste of time
Cause I knew, I knew, I'd lose you
You'll
always be special to me
Will
you forget in time
You said I was on your mind
There's no need to argue
No need to argue anymore
There's no need to argue anymore
Special
Here
is a story of hope and of glory
Eighteen years old and well, I fell in love
Where have you gone from me
The one that I loved endlessly
We used to have our life
But now it's all gone
Mystify,
mystify
Mystify, mystify
Mystify, mystify
Mystify, 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
Are they waiting for me, are they waiting for me
(Yaaahh)
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 ???
Look what they've done to me
Taken my hand, it's killing me
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
Are they waiting for me, are they waiting for me
And
I'm afraid I've returned it to Ireland
And I'm afraid I've returned it to Ireland
I see that there is nothing for me
There is nothing for me, there is nothing for me
(Yaaahh,
yaaaah)
