the cranberries - bury the hatchet |

Suddenly something has happened to me
As I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was feeling depressed
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry
Do you know you made me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing, the animal
The animal instinct
So take my hands and come with me
We will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry, no
They will never make me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
The animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal, it's the animal instinct in me x2
I hope that you miss me
Put me down on history
I feel such a reject now
Get yourself a life
I hope that you're sorry
For not accepting me
For not adoring me
That's why I'm not your wife
People are stranger
People in danger
People are stranger
People deranged or
I remember there was
Nothing I could ever do
Never could impress you
Even if I tried
Tell somebody who cares
Fill the room with empty stares
Go to bed and say my prayers
Keep them satisfied
People are stranger
People in danger
People are stranger
People deranged
Loud and clear I make my point my dear
I hope that you never
Get the things you wanted to
Now I cast a spell on you
Complicate your life
Hope you get a puncture
Everywhere you ever drive
Hope the sun beats down on you and
Skin youself alive
Ra la la la la la la la - Ra la la la la la la la x4
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.
Why can't you stay here a while
Stay here awhile
Stay with me.
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
Do-do-do Do-do-do Do-do-do Do-do-do
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
Why can't you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile
Stay with me..oh.oh
Repeat Chorus
Oh eh. Oh eh. Oh eh. Oh eh. Oh eh x 3
I'm not going out tonight 'cos I don't want to go
I am staying at home tonight 'cos I don't want to know
You revealed a world to me and I would never be
Dwelling in such happiness, your gift of purity
Eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh x2
Aahh, you and me it will always be
You and me Forever be,
Eternally it will always be you and me
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor
I don't pay attention to the ones who never cared
Find your own direction 'cos there's sweetness in the air
You will be the world to me and I will always be
Dwelling in this happiness, your gift of purity
Eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh x2
Aahh, you and me will always be
You and me Forever be,
Eternally will always be
You and me
Always be You and me
Forever be, Eternally
It will always be You and me
Forever be, Eternally
Taylor, Taylor x4
There was a game we used to play
We would hit the town on Friday night
And stay in bed until Sunday
We used to be so free
We were living for the love we had and
Living not for reality
It was just my imagination x3
There was a time I used to pray
I have always kept my faith in love
It's the greatest thing from the man above
The game I used to play
I've always put my cards upon the table
Let it never be said that I'd be unstable
It was just my imagination x3
There is a game I like to play
I like to hit the town on Friday night
And stay in bed until Sunday
We'll always be this free
We will be living for the love we have
Living not for reality
It's not my imagination x3
Not my x18
I'm trying to control myself
So please don't stand in my way
I've waited for the longest time
This is what I wanted in my way
Move over, move over
There's a climax coming in my way
Move over, move over
There's a climax coming in my way
I don't like you, don't compromise
Shattered by your weakness
Shattered by your smile
And I'm not very fond of you, and your lies
Shattered by your weaknesses
Shattered by your smile
All the kids are going back to school
The summer's over it's the golden rule
And now I'm coming out to play
So please don't stand in my way
And all the things that seemed once to be
So important to me
Seem so trivial now that I can see
Move over, move over
There's a climax coming my way x2
I don't like you, don't compromise
Shattered by your weakness
Shattered by your smile
And I'm not very fond of you, and your lies
Shattered by your weaknesses
Shattered by your smile
Please don't stand in my way
He always holds on to his girlfriend
That's where he likes to be
He like to wear the ball and the chain on his neck
A false sense of security
And when he goes he goes with a smile X4

It could happen here today

And I can't wait to see your face
No I can't wait to see your face

You're the little thing, my saving grace

They had an accident and they never noticed anyway
A lack of originality couldn't focus on the day
So much for the radio everybody sounds the same
Everybody wears the same clothes now and everybody plays the game
Copycat, copycat, copycat
Copy copy copy copy yourself
Copycat, copycat, copycat
Copy copy copy everyone else x 2
I've got a great idea I will change things on my own
I see my vision very clear, wouldn't want to be another clone
So much for the radio, the radio is sad
Sad, sad, sad
Copycat, copycat, copycat
Copy copy copy copy yourself
Copycat, copycat, copycat
Copy copy copy everyone else
Copy everyone else x 2
They had an accident but they never noticed anyway

Baby I would do anything for you
Nobody's ever treated me quite like you do
I've wasted too much time
I've wasted too much time
And I'm gonna tell you what's on my mind
Yea yea

There could be somebody like thee
Here we are finally

There could be somebody like thee

Fee fi fo she smells his body
She smells his body
And it makes her sick to her mind
He has got so much to answer for
To answer for, To ruin a child's mind
How could you touch something
So innocent and pure
Obscure
How could you get satisfaction
From the body of a child
You're vile, sick
It's true what people say
God protect the ones who help themselves
In their own way
It's true what people say
God protect the ones who help themselves
In their own way
He was sitting in her bedroom
In her bedroom
And now what should she do
She's got so much insecurity
And his impurity It was a gathering gloom
How could you touch something
So innocent and pure
Obscure
How could you get satisfaction
From the body of a child
You're a vile, sick
It's true what people say
God protect the ones who help themselves
In their own way
And I often wondered to myself:
Who protects the ones who can't protect themselves?
It's true what people say
God protect the ones who help themselves
In their own way
And I often wondered to myself:
Who protects the ones who can't protect themselves?
Fee fi fo x4
Do you remember
The things we used to say?
I feel so nervous
When I think of yesterday
How could I let things
Get to me so bad?
How did I let things get to me?
Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying x2
Will you hold on to me
I am feeling frail
Will you hold on to me
We will never fail
I wanted to be so perfect you see
I wanted to be so perfect
Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying x2
Sorry son, this is what I've done
This is what I've done
It was a long sad supper without you
I had to be cruel to be kind
We have to leave the past behind
La la la
And isn't it strange how people can change
And isn't it weird how people I feared
They all seem worthless now
I will ride on my bicycle, I ride thinking of you
As I'm riding on my tricycle, I ride
I see the sun in the trees, and I feel the psychedelic breeze
And I see the sun in the trees, and I feel the psychedelic breeze
Sorry son, this is what I've done
This is what I've done
It was a long sad supper without you
Please don't hold me responsible
I tried and tried
It wasn't the same without my brain
It wasn't a game, it wasn't a game
Oh not now
I will ride on my bicycle, I ride thinking of you
As I'm riding on my tricycle, I ride
I see the sun in the trees, and I feel the psychedelic breeze
I see the sun in the trees, and I feel the psychedelic breeze
La la la
Sorry son
Oh I am so sorry son
