Cranberries : To the faithful departed (1996)

1. Hollywood
I've got a picture in my head, in my head
It's me and you, we are in bed, we are in bed
You've always been there when I called,
You'll always be there most of all, all, all (chorus)
This is not Hollywood like, I understood,
Is not Hollywood like, like, like
This is not Hollywood like , I understood,
Is not Hollywood like, like, like
Run away, run away, is there anybody there?
Run away, run away, is there anybody there?
Get away, get away, get away...
Get away, get away, get away...
O oh... woh... oh... woht
I've got a picture in my room, in my room
I will return there I presume, should be soon
The greatest irony of all, shoot the wall
It's not so glamorous at all, all, all, all, all
It's me and you, we are in bed, we are in bed
You've always been there when I called,
You'll always be there most of all, all, all (chorus)
This is not Hollywood like, I understood,
Is not Hollywood like, like, like
This is not Hollywood like , I understood,
Is not Hollywood like, like, like
Run away, run away, is there anybody there?
Run away, run away, is there anybody there?
Get away, get away, get away...
Get away, get away, get away...
O oh... woh... oh... woht
I've got a picture in my room, in my room
I will return there I presume, should be soon
The greatest irony of all, shoot the wall
It's not so glamorous at all, all, all, all, all
2. Salvation
To all those people doing lines, don't do it, don't do it
Inject your soul with liberty, it's free, it's free
To all the kids with heroin eyes, don't do it, don't do it.
Because it's not, not what it seems
No, no it's not, not what it seems
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
To all those parents with sleepless nights (sleepless nights)
Tie your kids on to their beds, clear their heads
To all the kids with heroin eyes, don't do it, don't do it
Because it's not, not what it seems
No, no it's not, not what it seems
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
Inject your soul with liberty, it's free, it's free
To all the kids with heroin eyes, don't do it, don't do it.
Because it's not, not what it seems
No, no it's not, not what it seems
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
To all those parents with sleepless nights (sleepless nights)
Tie your kids on to their beds, clear their heads
To all the kids with heroin eyes, don't do it, don't do it
Because it's not, not what it seems
No, no it's not, not what it seems
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free
3. When you're gone
Hold on to love, that is what I do
Now that I've found you
And from above, everything's stinking
They're not around you
And in the night, I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you
And in the day, everything's complex
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you
But, I miss you when you're gone
That is what I do....Bay, Bay, Bay
And it's going to carry on,
That is what I knew...Bay, Bay, Bay
Hold on to my hands, I feel I'm sinking
Sinking without you
And to my mind, everything's stinking
Stinking without you
And in the night, I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you
And in the day everything's complex
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you
Hold on to love, that is what I do
Now that I've found you
And from above, everything's stinking
They're not around you
And in the night, I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you
And in the day, everything's complex
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you
But, I miss you when you're gone
That is what I do....Bay, Bay, Bay
And it's going to carry on,
That is what I knew...Bay, Bay, Bay
Hold on to my hands, I feel I'm sinking
Sinking without you
And to my mind, everything's stinking
Stinking without you
And in the night, I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you
And in the day everything's complex
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you
Now that I've found you
And from above, everything's stinking
They're not around you
And in the night, I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you
And in the day, everything's complex
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you
But, I miss you when you're gone
That is what I do....Bay, Bay, Bay
And it's going to carry on,
That is what I knew...Bay, Bay, Bay
Hold on to my hands, I feel I'm sinking
Sinking without you
And to my mind, everything's stinking
Stinking without you
And in the night, I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you
And in the day everything's complex
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you
Hold on to love, that is what I do
Now that I've found you
And from above, everything's stinking
They're not around you
And in the night, I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you
And in the day, everything's complex
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you
But, I miss you when you're gone
That is what I do....Bay, Bay, Bay
And it's going to carry on,
That is what I knew...Bay, Bay, Bay
Hold on to my hands, I feel I'm sinking
Sinking without you
And to my mind, everything's stinking
Stinking without you
And in the night, I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you
And in the day everything's complex
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you
4. 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
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
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
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
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
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
5. War child
Who will save the war child baby? Who controls the key?
The web we weave is thick and sordid, fine by me
At times of war, we're all the losers, there's no victory
We'll shoot to kill and kill your lover, fine by me
War child, victim of political pride
Plant the seed, territorial greed
Mind the war child, we should mind the war child
I spent last winter in New York, and came upon a man
He was sleeping on the streets and homeless,
he said "I fought in Vietnam"
Beneath his shirt he wore the mark, he bore the bark with pride
A two inch deep incision carved, into his side
Who's the loser now, eh? (x 2)
We're all losers now (x 2)
The web we weave is thick and sordid, fine by me
At times of war, we're all the losers, there's no victory
We'll shoot to kill and kill your lover, fine by me
War child, victim of political pride
Plant the seed, territorial greed
Mind the war child, we should mind the war child
I spent last winter in New York, and came upon a man
He was sleeping on the streets and homeless,
he said "I fought in Vietnam"
Beneath his shirt he wore the mark, he bore the bark with pride
A two inch deep incision carved, into his side
Who's the loser now, eh? (x 2)
We're all losers now (x 2)
6. Forever yellow skies
Yellow skies, I can see you in the yellow skies
See you again, I'll see you again
In my dreams, in my dreams
In my dreams, in my dreams
Morning light, I remember morning light
Outside my door, I'll see you no more
In my dreams, in my dreams
In my dreams, in my dreams
Forever, forever, I'll be forever holding you
Forever, forever, I'll be forever holding you
Responsible, responsible, responsible, responsible
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
See you again, I'll see you again
In my dreams, in my dreams
In my dreams, in my dreams
Morning light, I remember morning light
Outside my door, I'll see you no more
In my dreams, in my dreams
In my dreams, in my dreams
Forever, forever, I'll be forever holding you
Forever, forever, I'll be forever holding you
Responsible, responsible, responsible, responsible
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
7. The rebels
Seems like yesterday, we were sixteen
We were the rebels of the rebel scene
We wore Doc Martens in the sun
Drinking vintage cider, having fun
We were drinking vintage cider, having fun
It wasn't often that we'd fight at all
It wasn't often...
It wasn't often that we'd fight at all
It wasn't often...
We wore Doc Martens in the snow
Paint our toe nails black and let our hair grow
What I am now is what I was then
I am not more acceptable than them
I am not more acceptable than them
Seems like yesterday, we were sixteen
We were rebels of the rebel scene
We were the rebels of the rebel scene
We wore Doc Martens in the sun
Drinking vintage cider, having fun
We were drinking vintage cider, having fun
It wasn't often that we'd fight at all
It wasn't often...
It wasn't often that we'd fight at all
It wasn't often...
We wore Doc Martens in the snow
Paint our toe nails black and let our hair grow
What I am now is what I was then
I am not more acceptable than them
I am not more acceptable than them
Seems like yesterday, we were sixteen
We were rebels of the rebel scene
8. I just shot John Lennon
It was a fearful night of December 8th
He was returning home from the studio, late
He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice
Because in 1980 he paid the price
John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died
John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died
With a Smith&Wesson, 38
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate
He should have stayed at home
He should have never cared
And the man who took his life declared
He said...
"I just shot John Lennon", he said,
"I just shot John Lennon"
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening night
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening night
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...
He was returning home from the studio, late
He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice
Because in 1980 he paid the price
John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died
John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died
With a Smith&Wesson, 38
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate
He should have stayed at home
He should have never cared
And the man who took his life declared
He said...
"I just shot John Lennon", he said,
"I just shot John Lennon"
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening night
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening night
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...
9. Electric blue
Electric blue eyes, where did you come from?
Electric blue eyes, who sent you?
Electric blue eyes, always be near me,
Electric blue eyes, I need you
(Na, na, noh, Na, na, noh, Na, na, noh, Na, na, noh)
Domine, Domine, Deus
Domine, Adiuva Me
Domine, Domine, Deus
Domine, Adiu, Adiuma Me
Hey,eh, hey, eh
If you should go, you should know...I love you
If you should go, you should know..I'm here
Always be near me, guardian angel
Always be near me, there's no fear
(Na, na, noh, Na, na, noh, Na, na, noh, Na, na, noh)
Electric blue eyes, who sent you?
Electric blue eyes, always be near me,

Always be near me, guardian angel
Always be near me, there's no fear
(Na, na, noh, Na, na, noh, Na, na, noh, Na, na, noh)
10. I'm still remembering
I'm still remembering the day I gave my life away
I'm still remembering the time you said you'd be mine
Yesterday was cold and bare because you were not there
Yesterday was cold, my story has been told
I need your affection all the way
The world has changed, or I've changed in a way
I try to remain, I'm trying not to go insane
I need your affection all the way (get away)
I'm still remembering my life before I became your wife
I'm still remembering the pain and the mind games
Reverse psychology never tainted me
I didn't sell my soul, I didn't sell my soul
They say the cream will always rise to the top
They say that good people are always the first to drop
What of Kurt Cobain, will his presence still remain
Remember J.F.K., ever saintly in a way
Where are you now ? Where are you now ?
Where are you now ? Say, where are you now ?
I'm still remembering the time you said you'd be mine
Yesterday was cold and bare because you were not there
Yesterday was cold, my story has been told
I need your affection all the way
The world has changed, or I've changed in a way
I try to remain, I'm trying not to go insane
I need your affection all the way (get away)
I'm still remembering my life before I became your wife
I'm still remembering the pain and the mind games
Reverse psychology never tainted me
I didn't sell my soul, I didn't sell my soul
They say the cream will always rise to the top
They say that good people are always the first to drop
What of Kurt Cobain, will his presence still remain
Remember J.F.K., ever saintly in a way
Where are you now ? Where are you now ?
Where are you now ? Say, where are you now ?
11. Will you remember
Will you remember the dress I wore?
Will you remember my face?
Will you remember the lipstick I wore?
This world is a wonderful place
Will you remember the black limousine?
Will you remember Champagne?
Will you remember the things that we've seen?
I will return here again
Will you remember the flowers in my hand?
Will you remember my hair?
Will you remember the future we planned?
The world is not waiting out there
I won't remember the dress I wore
I won't remember Champagne
I won't remember the things that we swore
I will just love you in vain
Will you remember? Will you recall?
Will you remember my face?
Will you remember the lipstick I wore?
This world is a wonderful place
Will you remember the black limousine?
Will you remember Champagne?
Will you remember the things that we've seen?
I will return here again
Will you remember the flowers in my hand?
Will you remember my hair?
Will you remember the future we planned?
The world is not waiting out there
I won't remember the dress I wore
I won't remember Champagne
I won't remember the things that we swore
I will just love you in vain
Will you remember? Will you recall?
12. Joe
There was a time, I was so lonely (away)
Remember the time, it was on Friday (away)
You made me feel fine, we did it my way (away)
I sat on your knees, every Friday (away)
We walked in fields of golden hay, I still recall you
We walked in fields of golden hay, I see you in the summer
Joe, Joe...
You sat on your chair by the fire (away)
Transfixed in a stare, taking me higher (away)
Precious years, to remember (away)
Childhood fears, I surrender (away)
Remember the time, it was on Friday (away)
You made me feel fine, we did it my way (away)
I sat on your knees, every Friday (away)
We walked in fields of golden hay, I still recall you
We walked in fields of golden hay, I see you in the summer
Joe, Joe...
You sat on your chair by the fire (away)
Transfixed in a stare, taking me higher (away)
Precious years, to remember (away)
Childhood fears, I surrender (away)
13. Bosnia
I would like to state my vision, Life was so unfair
We live in our secure surroundings
And people die out there
Bosnia was so unkind, Sarajevo changed my mind
And we all call out in despair, all the love we need isn't there
And we all sing songs in our room, Sarajevo erects
another tomb
Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo
Bosnia was so unkind
Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo
Bosnia was so unkind
Sure things would change if we wanted them to
No fear for children anymore
There are babies in their beds, terror in their heads
Love for the love of life!
When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?
Rummmpatipum, Rummmpatipum...
Traboo, Traboo, Traboo...
We live in our secure surroundings
And people die out there
Bosnia was so unkind, Sarajevo changed my mind
And we all call out in despair, all the love we need isn't there
And we all sing songs in our room, Sarajevo erects
another tomb
Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo
Bosnia was so unkind
Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo
Bosnia was so unkind
Sure things would change if we wanted them to
No fear for children anymore
There are babies in their beds, terror in their heads
Love for the love of life!
When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?
Rummmpatipum, Rummmpatipum...
Traboo, Traboo, Traboo...
14. Cordell
Though once you ruled my mind
I thought you'd always be there
And I'll always hold onto your face
But everything changes in time and
The answers are not always fair
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Cordell, time will tell
They say that you've passed away
And I hope that you've gone to a better place
Time will tell, time will tell
They say that you've passed away
And I know that you've gone to a better place
Cordell, Cordell, Cordell...
Your lover and baby will cry
But your presence will always remain
Is this how it was meant to be
You meant something more to me
Than what many people will see
And to hell with the industry
I thought you'd always be there
And I'll always hold onto your face
But everything changes in time and
The answers are not always fair
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Cordell, time will tell
They say that you've passed away
And I hope that you've gone to a better place
Time will tell, time will tell
They say that you've passed away
And I know that you've gone to a better place
Cordell, Cordell, Cordell...
Your lover and baby will cry
But your presence will always remain
Is this how it was meant to be
You meant something more to me
Than what many people will see
And to hell with the industry
15. The picture I view
I haven't changed
But my life has
People are strange when it's like as
I did something wrong to them
And I don't even know your name
(No, I don't even know your name)
I swear that he's good for me
And I swear he looks after me
And I swear that he looks out for me
And I swear that he's good, good, good
La, la, la, the picture I view
La, la, la, the picture I view
All my plans and promises
Went tumbling down the hill
All my friends and promises
Went tumbling down the hill
They went tumbling down the hill
I haven't changed, but my life has
People are strange when it's like as
I did something wrong to them
And I don't even know your name
(No, I don't even know your name)
(I don't even know your name)
But my life has
People are strange when it's like as
I did something wrong to them
And I don't even know your name
(No, I don't even know your name)
I swear that he's good for me
And I swear he looks after me
And I swear that he looks out for me
And I swear that he's good, good, good
La, la, la, the picture I view
La, la, la, the picture I view
All my plans and promises
Went tumbling down the hill
All my friends and promises
Went tumbling down the hill
They went tumbling down the hill
I haven't changed, but my life has
People are strange when it's like as
I did something wrong to them
And I don't even know your name
(No, I don't even know your name)
