Lyrics


DISC 1


1. ZOMBIE (FULL LENGTH ALBUM VERSION)

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence cause of 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

[Chorus]
In your head - In your head
Zombie - Zombie - Zombie
What's in your head? - In your head
Zombie - Zombie - 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 fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head - In your head - They are dying

[Chorus]


2. AWAY

[Verse]
Turn away - Turn away
From me - From me
And I pray - Yes I pray
For thee - For thee - For thee

Another world
Wrapped up inside another place
And I hope - And I pray
That the pain goes away
Yes I pray - Yes I pray - Yes I pray

[Verse] (x2)


3. I DON'T NEED

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?

[Pre-Chorus]
And your head hangs lightly
And everyone's slightly drunk tonight
They're drunk tonight again

I don't need to see you - No - No - No ... (x2)

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?

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't need to see you - No - No - No ... (x2)

And maybe no work done today
No work done today - No - No - No
No work done today - No - No - No
No work done today

2. WALTZING BACK (LIVE)

Who gave them the right
Waltzing back into
Your life - Your life - Your life?
Now I feel fear
I wish that they'd never come
Here - Here - Here

(x2)
What they're gonna do?
What they're gonna say?
Taking you away from my life - My life - My life?

La - La - La

Who gave them the right
Turning it back into
Light - Light - Light?
Then I felt fear
I wish that they'd never come
Here - Here - Here

What they're gonna do?
What they're gonna say?
Taking you away from my life - My life - My life?
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna say
I don't wanna say
'Cause it's your life - Your life - Your life

La - La - La

Who gave them the right - The right - The right? (x4)


3. LINGER (LIVE)

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

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

[Chorus]
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 - Do you have to
Do you have to let it linger?

Oh - I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong - I was wrong
If you - If you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused and
I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you - But

[Chorus]

And

[Chorus] (x2)
