The Cranberries - 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 fun and take it if we can 
My mother, my mother she'd hold me 
She'd 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? 
 
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'd hold me 
She'd hold me, when I was out there 
My father, my father he liked me 
Oh he liked me, does anyone care? 
 
Does anyone care? 
Does anyone care? 
Does anyone care? 
Does anyone care? 
Does anyone care? 
Does anyone care? 
 Does anyone care? 

Lying in my bed again 
And I cry cause 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 
 
Be with you, be with you 
Be with you, be with you 
Be with you, 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 hands 
And come with me, 
We'll find another end 
And my head, and my head 
On anyone's shoulder 
Cause I can't be with you 
 
Be with you, be with you 
Be with you, be with you 
Be with you, be with you 
Baby I can't be with you 
 
Cause your not here, you're not here 
Baby I can't be with you 
Cause your not here, you're not here 
Baby 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, leave me alone, 
leave me alone, cause I found it all 
Twenty one, twenty one, twenty one 
 
So I don't think it's going to happen anymore 
I don't think it's going to happen anymore 
 
Twenty one, twenty one, twenty one 
Twenty one, twenty one, twenty one 
Today, today, today, today 
 
Twenty one, twenty one 
Twenty one, twenty one 
Twenty one, twenty one 
Twenty one, twenty one 
Twenty one, twenty one, twenty one 
Twenty one, twenty one, twenty one 
 

 
Another head hangs lowly 
Child is slowly taken 
And the violence caused such silence 
Who are we mistakin 
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, in your head 
Zombie, zombie, zombie 
What's in your head, in your head 
Zombie, zombie, zombie 
Do, do, do-o 
Do, do, do-o 
Do, do, do-o 
Do, do, do-o 
 
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 dyin' 
In your head, in your head 
Zombie, zombie, zombie 
What's in your head, in your head 
Zombie, zombie, zombie 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ay-ay-oh 
 

 
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 me to feel the strength 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 
All my dreams it suddenly seems, it suddenly seems 
Empty-hee, ee-hee, ee-hee, eee-hee 
Empty-hee, ee-hee, ee-hee, eee-hee 
Empty-hee, ee-hee, ee-hee, eee-hee 
 
Empty-hee, ee-hee, ee-hee, eee-hee 
Empty-hee, ee-hee, ee-hee, eee-hee 
Empty-hee, ee-hee, ee-hee, eee-hee 
Empty-hee, ee-hee, ee-hee, eee-hee 
Empty-hee, ee-hee, ee-hee, eee-hee 
 

 
Oh, It makes me lonely 
It makes me very lonely 
When I see you here, waitin'on 
Oh, he makes me tired, he makes me very tired 
And inside of me, lingers on 
 
But you have your heart 
Oh, don't believe it, and you will find it 
Waitin'on 
Everything I said, oh, well I meant it 
And inside my head, holdin'on 
 
Cause if I died tonight 
Would you hold my hand, no 
Would you understand 
And if I lied in spite 
Would you still be here, no 
Would you disappear 
 
Surely must be you, surely must be you 
But I don t make you lonely 
I'll get over you, I'll get over you 
But I don't make you lonely 
 

 
When 
When will the icicle melt, the icicle, icicle 
And when 
When will the picture show end, the picture show, picture show 
I should not have read the paper today 
Cause a child, child, child, child he was taken away (taken away) 
 
There's a place for the baby that died 
And there's a time for the mother who cried 
And she will hold him in her arms sometimes 
Cause nine months is too long, too long, too long 
 
How 
How could you hurt the child, how could you hurt the child 
Now does this make you satisfied, satisfied, satisfied 
I don't know what's happening to people today 
When a child, child, child, child he was taken away (taken away) 
 
There's a place for the baby that died 
And there's a time for the mother who cried 
She will hold him in her arms sometimes 
Cause nine months is too long, too long, too long 
 
There's a place for the baby that died 
And there's a time for the mother who cried 
And you will hold him in your arms sometimes 
Cause nine months is too long, too long, too long, too long 
 

 
Disappointment, oh you shouldn't have done 
You couldn't have done 
You wouldn't have done 
The things you did there 
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 
And it all boils down to what you did 
There, there, there, there 
There, there, there, there 
 
In the night we fight, I feel you're right 
It was exactly there, it was exactly there 
I decided, decided, decided, decided 
And threw you out 
In the night we fight, I feel you're right 
It was exactly there, it was exactly there 
I decided, decided, decided, 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, there, there, there 
There, there, there, there 
 
Disappointment, disappointment, disappointment 
Disappointment, disappointment, disappointment 
Disappointment, disappointment, disappointment 
Disappointment, disappointment, disappointment 
 

 
Twister, oh 
Does anyone see through you 
You're a twister, oh an animal 
But you're happy now 
I didn't go along with 
You're so happy now 
 
But you're going to have to hold on 
You're going to have to hold on 
You're going to have to hold on, hold on, hold on 
Or we're going to have to move on 
We're going to have to move on 
Or we're going to have to move on, move on, move on 
 
Feel alright 
And I cried so hard 
The ridiculous thoughts 
I feel alright, alright, alright, alright 
 
Twister, oh 
I shouldn't have trusted in you 
Twister, oh 
It's not going to happen now 
You're not going to make fun of me 
Happen now 
 
But you're going to have to hold on 
You're going to have to hold on 
But you're going to have to hold on, hold on, hold on 
Or we're going to have to move on 
We're going to have to move on 
Or we're going to have to move on, move on, move on 
 
I feel alright 
And I cried so hard 
The ridiculous thoughts 
I feel alright, alright, alright, alright 
 
I should have lied 
But I cried so hard 
The ridiculous thoughts 
I should have lied, ha' lied, ha' lied, ha' lied 
 
But you're gonna have to hold on 
You're gonna have to hold on 
You're gonna have to hold on 
You're gonna have to hold on 
You're gonna have to hold on 
You're gonna have to hold on 
You're gonna have to hold on 
You're gonna have to hold on 
But 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 
But you're gonna have to hold on 
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 
It's out there 
It's out there 
If you want me 
I'll be here 
It's out there 
It's out there 
It's out there 
If you want me 
I'll be here 
 
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you 
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 
It's out there 
It's out there 
If you want me 
I'll be here 
It's out there 
It's out there 
It's out there 
If you want me 
I'll be here 
 
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you 
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 with you 
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 
 

 
Silenced by death in the grave 
William Butler Yeats couldn't save 
Why did you stand here 
Where you sickened in time 
But I know by now 
Why did you sit here? 
 
In the grave 
In the grave 
In the grave 
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 violent ways 
Or hurled the little streets upon the great 
Had they but courage equal to desire 
 
Sad that Maud Gonne couldn't stay 
She had MacBride anyway 
And you sit here with me 
On the isle Inisfree 
And you're writing down anything 
But I know by now 
Why did you sit here? 
 
In the grave 
In the grave 
In the grave 
In the grave 
 
Why should I blame her? 
Had they but courage equal to desire 
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 
You're not the one 
 
All night long, laid on my pillow 
These things are wrong 
I can't sleep here 
 
So lovely, so lovely, so lovely 
 
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 
And the daffodils look lovely today 
Look lovely today 
 
Through your eyes you can see the disguise 
Through your eyes you can see the dismay 
Has anyone seen lightning? 
Has anyone looked lovely? 
 
And the daffodils look lovely today 
And the daffodils look lovely today 
Look lovely today 
Look lovely 
Look lovely 
Look lovely 
Look lovely 
Look lovely 
Look lovely 
Look lovely 
Look lovely 
Look 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, special to me, to me 
 
And I remember all the 
Things we once shared 
Watching TV 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, special to me, to me 
 
Will I 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 

 
Turn away, turn away
From me, from me
And I pray, yes I pray
For the, for the, for the-hi-hi 

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 pra-ha-hay 

Turn away, turn away
From me, from me
And I pray, yes I pray
For the, for the, for the-hi-hi 

Ba pa pa da, ba da
ba pa pa-aaa
Ba pa pa da, ba da

Turn away, turn away
From me, from me
And I pray, yes I pray
For the, for the, for the-hi-hi 

Ba pa pa da, ba da
ba pa pa-aaa
Ba pa pa da, ba da 

 
The world is consuming me
and I don't feel so happy here today
On and on, and I don't feel
and I used to be a baby in my day

So where is the one that you loved
Did she hold you happy next to her
And your head hangs lightly
And every slighlty, they're drunk tonight
They're drunk tonight again 

Na na na naa, na na na naa
Na na na naa, na na na naa 

I don't need to see you
No no, no no now, now, now
I don't need to see you
Now no, no no nooh 

My head it is hanging now
And my eyes are wrong
They're ground, they're ground, they're ground
And everyone's so patronize
And I don't see when the real thing comes around 

So where is your mother now
Did she hold you happy next to her
And your head hangs lightly
And everyone slighlty, drunk tonight
They're drunk tonight again 

Na na na naa, na na na naa
Na na na naa, na na na naa 

I don't need to see you
No no, no no now, now, now
I don't need to see you
Now no, no no nooh 

And now we're done today
now we're done today
Now, now
Now we're done today
Now, now
Now we're done today 

 
Why do birds suddenly appear
every time you are near?
Just like me they long to be
Close to you

Why do starts fall down from the sky
every time you walk by?
Just like me they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born
the angels got together
They decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
and put the starlight in your eyes so blue

That is why all the girls in town
follow you all around
Just like me they long to be
Close to you

Just like me they long to be
Close to you

Close to you...
