The Cranberries : Bualadh Bos
Lyrics
1. WANTED
Sittin' in an armchair
With my head between my hands
I wouldn't have to feel like this
If you'd only understand
Too many misunderstandings
Causing such delay
And if it doesn't work like this
Well I'll try another way
[Chorus] (x2)
Oh - If this is the way you wanted it
Oh - I didn't understand
You know that all I wanted was
To be there by your side
And if you didn't want it
Well you shouldn't have denied
You knew that you were someone special
Right from the start
But if you treat me badly
We'd be better off apart
[Chorus] (x2)
Understand
Oh - Oh - Oh - Oh - Oh...
2. LIAR
Say it if you want to and say it if you will
But if you don't say what you are thinkin'
No - I won't take too kindly to it
And all I want is something special
And you can't give it to me
And all you do is lie to me
'Cause you're a liar - Liar - Liar
[Chorus] (x2)
I will run - I will fight
I will take you through the night lie - Lie - Liar
Say it if you want to and say it if you choose
Because if you don't say what you are thinkin'
No - I won't take too kindly to it
When all I want is something different
And you couldn't give it to me
And all you do is lie to me
So you're a liar - Liar - Liar
[Chorus] (x2)
Liar - Liar
I'll fight you - I'll fight you
I'm fighing you
Liar - Liar - Liar - Liar
You know you're a liar - Liar - Liar
Liar
3. 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
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)
4. I STILL DO
I'm not ready for this
Though I thought I would be
I can't see the future
Though I thought I could see
I don't want to leave you
Even though I have to
I don't want to love you
Oh - I still do
Need some time to find myself
I wanna live within
Can I go my own way?
Can I pray my own way?
I don't want to leave you
Oh - I need you
Am I ready for this?
Did I think I would be?
Can I see the future?
No - I can't see
I don't want to leave you
Even though I have to
I don't want to love you
Oh - I still do
Ah - I still do
Ah - I still do
5. WALTZING BACK
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)
6. NOT SORRY
[Verse]
Keep on looking through the window again
But I'm not sorry if I do insult you
I'm sad not sorry 'bout the way that things went
And you'll be happy and I'll be forsakin' thee
I swore I'd never feel like this again
But you're so selfish
You don't see what you're doing to me
I keep on looking through the window again
No - I'm not sorry if I do insult you (x2)
[Chorus]
You told me lies and I sighed and I sighed and I sighed
'Cause you lied - Lied - And I cried - Yes I cried
Yes I cry - I cry - I try again
I realize as he sighed and he sighed and he sighed
'Cause you lied - Lied - And I cried - Yes I cried
Yes I cry - I cry - I try again
[Verse]
No - I'm not sorry if I do detest you (x2)
[Chorus]
Keep on looking through the window again (x2)
7. PRETTY
[Verse]
You're so pretty the way you are
You're so pretty the way you are
And you had no reason
To be so insolent to me
You're so pretty the way you are
[Chorus]
La - La - You got to say it if you want to
But you won't change me
La - La - You got to say it if you want to
But you won't change me
[Verse]
[Chorus]
8. FOREVER YELLOW SKIES
Yellow skies - I can see the yellow skies
See you again - I see you again
In my dreams - In my dreams
In my dreams - In my dreams
Morning light - I remember morning light
Outside my doors - I'll see you no more
In my dreams - In my dreams
In my dreams - In my dreams
[Chorus]
Forever - Forever - I'll be forever holding you
Forever - Forever - I'll be forever holding you
Responsible - Responsible - Responsible - Responsible
So black and white
It's become so black and white
So insecure - You're so insecure
That's what you are - That's what you are
That's what you are - That's what you are
[Chorus] (x2)
9. FREE TO DECIDE
It's not worth anything more than this at all
I'll live as I choose or I will not live at all
So return to where you come from
Return to where you dwell
Because harassment's not my forte
But you do it very well
[Chorus]
I'm free to decide - I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
I'm free to decide - I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
At all - At all - At all
You must have nothing more with your time to do
There's a war in Russia and Sarajevo too
So to hell with what you're thinking
And to hell with your narrow mind
You're so distracted from the real thing
You should leave your life behind - Behind - 'Cause
[Chorus]
I'm free to decide - I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
At all - At all - At all
At all - At all - At all
10. SUNDAY
[Verse]
Oh - Do you know?
Where to go? - Where to go?
Something on your mind
Wanna leave me behind - Wanna leave me behind
[Chorus]
You're spinning me around
My feet are off the ground
I dunno where I stand
Do you have to hold my hand?
You mystify me - You mystify me - You mystify me
Oh - When he walked into the room
It happened oh so soon
I didn't want to know
Does he really have to go?
You mystify me - You mystify me - You mystify me
And I couldn't find the words
To say "I love you"
And he couldn't find the time
To say "I need you"
It wouldn't come out right
It wouldn't come out right
Just came out all wrong
[Chorus]
[Verse]
11. 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
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?
[Chorus]
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
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
D'you know this? - D'you know?
You did not find me - You did not find
Does anyone care?
[Chorus]
Does anyone care? (x7)
12. RIDICULOUS THOUGHTS
Twister oh - Does anyone see through you?
You're a twister - Oh Na Na Na Na
But you're so happy now
I didn't go along with you
So happy now - Na Na Na Na
[Pre-Chorus]
But you're gonna have to hold on
You're gonna have to hold on
You're gonna have to hold on - Hold on - Hold on
Or we're gonna have to move on
We're gonna have to move on
Or we're gonna have to move on - Move on - Move on
[Chorus]
I feel alright and I cried so hard
The ridiculous thoughts - Oh
I feel alright - Alright - Alright - Alright
Twister oh - I shouldn't have trusted in you
Twister - Oh Na Na Na Na
It's not gonna happen no
You're not gonna make fun of me
Happen no - Na Na Na Na
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
Ah - I should have lied
But I cried so hard
The ridiculous thoughts - Oh
I should have lied - Have lied - Have lied - Have lied
But you're gonna have to hold on
You're gonna have to hold on (x7)
Well - You're gonna have to hold on
You're gonna have to hold on
Hold on - Hold on - Hold on - Hold on - Hold on - Hold
Well - You're gonna have to hold on
You're gonna have to hold on
To me
13. ZOMBIE
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]
14. PROMISES
You better believe 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Why can't you stay here awhile?
Stay here awhile
Stay with me
[Chorus]
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
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
'Cause tearing them out is just not right
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus] (x2)
15. DREAMS
Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way
And Oh my dreams
It's never quiet as it seems
Never quiet as it seems
I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
I want more
Impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
And they'll come true
Impossible not to do
Impossible not to do
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
Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way
And Oh my dreams
It's never quiet as it seems
'Cause you're a dream to me
Dream to me
